[G] [A] [Bm] [D]
[G]Found myself at your door, [A]just like all those times before.

You [G]find yourself at my door, [A]just like all those times before.
You [Bm]wear your best apology, but [D]I was there to watch you leave.
And [G]all the times I let you in, [A]just for you to go again.
[Bm]Disappear when you come back, [D]everything is better.


When [G]right [A]before your e[Bm]yes, I’m [D]aching run [G]fast.
[A]Nowhere to [Bm]hide, just [D]you and me.


[D]This is the last time I’m asking you [Bm]this.

Time I’m asking you [A]this, time I’m asking you [G]this.


This is the [D]last time I’m asking you [Bm]this.
Time I’m asking you [A]this, time I’m asking you [G]this.
