[Verse 1]
 
 
          C#m
Oh I'm a mess right now
        B
Inside out
                E
Searching for a sweet surrender
     A               E
But this is not the end
 
     B         C#m
I can't work it out
    B
How?
                   E
Going through the motions
A              B
Going through us
 
 
[Pre-Hook]
 
       A                                  E
And though I've known it for the longest time
            B
And all my hope
          A
All my words are all over written on the signs
        E              B          A
When you're on my road walkin' me home
 A
Home, home, home, home
 
 
[Hook]
 
C#m                        B
See the flames inside my eyes
            A                         E
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
  B   C#m                   B
Noo, easy baby maybe I'm a liar
        A                       E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
            F#m        A*
And put your faith in my stomach
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
         C#m
I messed up this time
             B
Late last night
               E
Drinking to suppress devotion
     A             E
With fingers intertwined
 
    B   C#m
I can't shake this feeling
   B
Now
                         E
We're going through the motions
A               B
Hoping you'd stop
 
 
[Pre-Hook 2]
 
     A
And though I've only caused you pain
    E                    B
You know with all of my words
               A
With all this beloved
                       E
Although all the lies spoke
      E                B           A
When you're on my road walkin' me home
A
Home, home, home, home
 
 
[Hook]
 
C#m                        B
See the flames inside my eyes
            A                         E
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love
 B   C#m                  B
No, easy baby maybe I'm a liar
       A                        E
Before tonight I wanna fall in love
             F#m       A*
And put your faith in my stomach
 
 
[Outro]
 
    C#m   E  B           A   E  B C#m
And for how long I've loved my lover
    C#m   E  B        A  E  B C#m
For how long I've loved my lover
        C#m   E  B                  A  E  B C#m
And now, for how long, long I've loved my lover
        C#m   E  B                  A  E  B C#m
Now, now, for how long, long I've loved my lover
        C#m   E  B                  A     E  B C#m
Now now, for how long, long I've loved my lover
 
(And I feel loved)
C#m   E  B                 A  E  B C#m
For how long, long I've loved my lover
          C#m  E  B                  A  E  B C#m
Now, now, for how long, long I've loved my lover
C#m  E  B                   A E  B C#m
For how long, long I've loved my lover
         C#m  E  B                  A  E  B C#m
Now now, for how long, long I've loved my lover
