Now it begins..now that you're gone.
A                 Bb
Needles and pins..twilight til dawn.
A             Gb    Bm        D
Watching that clock til you return.
Dbm         C         B           E
Hiding that torch and watching it burn.

A                Bb
This is my life..ticking away.
A          Dbm  Gbm   Bm             D
Waiting to hear.......footsteps that say..
Dbm       Cm         B            E
love will appear and this time to stay.

will end.

But if you don't, come back again..I wonder

when, oh, when will it end..the big hurt.
