E                      Esus4  E
I know you broke up       with him
                                   Esus2  E
And your heart's still on the   shelf
Esus4 E
            It's been over two years for me
            B7                    B
And I'm still not quite myself
C#m
You can't be with someone new
             D/A                   A
And you can't go back to him
C#m
You're beginning to realize
                        D
That it's sink or swim
E             Esus4       E
I see you around sometimes

And my heart just melts
Esus4 E
            Lookin like if you had your wish
               Bsus4            B
You'd be somewhere else
C#m
And it just breaks my heart
     D/A                    A
To see you here this way
C#m
Someday I'll get the nerve
                     D          B
To walk up to you and say


[Chorus]

                E                   E/G#
This is the last worthless evening
                     A
That you'll have to spend
Bsus4
Just gimme a chance
                   B         A/E
To show you how to love again
E                                   E/G#
This is the last worthless evening
                            A
That you'll have to spend
          F#m
Cause I'll be there
                 A                       Bsus4    B
When your broken heart is on the mend


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

Every night it's the same old crowd
In smokey rooms
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms
I've been around this block
A time or two
And I've made some big mistakes
But girl I promise you, I promise you


[Chorus]

                E                   E/G#
This is the last worthless evening
                     A
That you'll have to spend
Bsus4
Just gimme a chance
                   B         A/E
To show you how to love again
E                                   E/G#
This is the last worthless evening
                            A
That you'll have to spend
          F#m
Cause I'll be there
                 A                       Bsus4    B
When your broken heart is on the mend


[Bridge]

B/A
Time time ticking, ticking away
B
Time time ticking, ticking away

[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

People inside their houses
With the shades pulled down
God knows we could use some romance
In this sleepy bedroom town
I know you're still afraid
To rush into anything
But there're just so many summers
And just so many springs
