F#mI'm here You're Bmthere
Come clEoser TonC#7sus4ight I'm lF#monely
F#mCome here With Bmme
I wEant it The way it C#7sus4used to bF#me
[Chorus]
F#mWhat is left of love? Tell me Bmwho would even care?
ESo much time has passed I'd still C#7sus4meet you anyF#mwhere
F#mWater under bridge BmEvening after day
EWhat is left of love here That C#7sus4didn't drift aF#mway?
[Verse 2]
F#mI can remember days of Bmsun We knew our lives had just beEgun
We could do anything
We're C#7sus4fearless when we're F#myoung F#mUnder the moon, address unkBmnown
I can remember nights in ERome
I thought that love would last
A pC#7sus4romise set in sF#mtone
[Bridge]
BmI'd surEvive with only Amemories F#m BmIf I could Echange the way I AfeeF#ml
BmBut I want Emore than only AmemorF#mies BmA human tEouch to make them Areal
[Verse 3]
F#mAnother day, another dBmream Over the bridge an empty sEcene
We'd spend the weekend lost inC#7sus4 bed And float uF#mpstream
F#mI don't know why we moved Bmaway Lost in the here and now we sEtrayed
Into a New York zone
Our pC#7sus4romise was betrF#mayed
[Pre-instrumental]
F#mI was there caught on Tenth AvBmenue You elsewhere with Culver City bElues
Then and there I knew that I'dC#7sus4 lost youF#m
[Instrumental] F#m Bm E C#7sus4 F#m [twice] [Chorus]
F#mWhat is left of love? Tell me Bmwho will even care?
ESo much time has passed I'd still C#7sus4meet you anyF#mwhere
F#mWater under bridge BmEvening after day
EWhat is left of love here That C#7sus4didn't drift aF#mway?
[Pre-coda]
F#mDon't give me all your northern pain BmDon't sell me New York in the rain
ELet's leave our promises behind Rewind and C#7sus4try again F#m
[Coda]
F#mWhat remains in time BmThat didn't fade away?
ESometimes I need to see The way itC#7sus4 used to F#mbe
