C      Em         Am              F             G 
It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise. 
        C        Em     Am              F              G7 
There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes. 
    C         Em     Am           F               G 
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone, 
    C      Em    Am              F              G 
And so you turn away from me and tears begin to come. 
             F    G         C     Em    Am 
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you. 
    F    G     C                C7 
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, 
     F        G         C      Em        Am 
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me 
    F                                 G-G7 
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
 
   C       Em       Am                  F                G 
It seems a shame to leave you now, your lace is soft and warm. 
  C       Em     Am             F              G7 
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms. 
  C       Em       Am          F                 G 
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile, 
    C     Em     Am             F            G 
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while. 
          Am              F                C                 Am 
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know, 
    F                  G              C 
And some that aren't familiar with my name. 
Em   Am                 F               C         Em Am 
It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand, 
     F                          G - G7 
It's anyone who'll listen to me sing. 

    C       Em        Am         F           G 
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame? 
    C        Em     Am               F                 G7 
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same. 
C     Em     Am              F               G 
As it is the time we have is worth the time alone, 
C     Em      Am                 F               G 
Lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known.
