      This is one of four exclusive songs released with the 5 Seconds of Summer album target 
edition. I really love this song, and I hope you do, too :)

**If you're a beginner, it might be easier for you to play this song with a capo on the 
2nd fret and transposed 2 steps down to the key of G**

(this is the original key and the original chords from the soundtrack)

Chords: A  F#m  D  E

A
Six weeks since I've been away
A
Now you’re saying everything has changed
F#m                                   D
And I’m afraid that I might be losing you

A
And every night that we spend alone
A
Gets me thinking of you on your own
F#m                                D
And I wish I was back home next to you

F#m       E              A                   D
Oh, every day you feel a little bit further away
      F#m                E
And I don’t know what to say

       A                          D
Are we wasting time, talking on a broken line
              F#m
Telling you I, haven’t seen your face in ages
  E
I feel like we’re as close as strangers
A                             D
Won’t give up, even though it hurts so much
                F#m
Every night I’m, losing you in a thousand faces
E
Now it feels we’re as close as strangers

A
Late night calls and another text
A
Is this as good as we're gonna get
F#m                                  D
Another timezone taking me away from you

A
Living dreams in fluorescent lights
A
While you and I are running out of time
F#m                               D
But you know that I’ll always wait for you

F#m       E              A                   D
Oh, every day you feel a little bit further away
      F#m                E
And I don’t know what to say

       A                          D
Are we wasting time, talking on a broken line
              F#m
Telling you I, haven’t seen your face in ages
  E
I feel like we’re as close as strangers
A                             D
Won’t give up, even though it hurts so much
                F#m
Every night I’m, losing you in a thousand faces
E
Now it feels we’re as close as strangers

F#m
On the phone I can tell that you want to move on
D
Through the tears I can hear that I shouldn't have gone
A                                 E
Every day it gets harder to stay away from you

So tell me are we

       A                          D
Are we wasting time, talking on a broken line
              F#m
Telling you I, haven’t seen your face in ages
  E
I feel like we’re as close as strangers

       A                          D
Are we wasting time, talking on a broken line
              F#m
Telling you I, haven’t seen your face in ages
  E
I feel like we’re as close as strangers
A                             D
Won’t give up, even though it hurts so much
                F#m
Every night I’m, losing you in a thousand faces
E
Now it feels we’re as close as strangers

A
Six months since I went away
A
And I know everything has changed
F#m                                 D
But tomorrow I’ll be coming back to you
