Am9  Fmaj7b5  G
Am9

[Verse 1]
                       Am9
You're sipping on your coffee, pouring up some wine
Am9
Saying 'You can be my baby' if I give you some time
          Fmaj7b5
Moving so fast but we could slow it down I think I wanna hold ya but I'm not sure I'm allowed
               G
'Cause you are gold to me
           Am9
A piece of art to me

[Chorus]
                   Fmaj7b5
The sky is turning purple
     G                          Am9
Then orange, then pink and yellow
Am9
and then a darker shade of blue
Am9
I can see a darker shade of you
Fmaj7b5
Sitting right beside me
  G
I wish I could hear your silence
                Am9
I wish you were here with me

[Verse 2]
                       Am9
You're sipping on your coffee, fading away
Am9
I could give you some time if you promise that you'll stay
                       Fmaj7b5
But I sit there saying nothing just watching your hands
Fmaj7b5
I wish that I could hold them but I'm not sure I can
                  G
But you still are gold to me, baby
         Am9
Piece of art to me

[Chorus]
                      Fmaj7b5
But if you close your eyes
       G
Do you see me? Do you hear me?
            Am9
When you're putting on your headphones
Am9
Do you feel my hands even when I'm not there?
             F         F          F        G
'Cause I can hear you, breathing, loud and clear
                          Am9
Even though you're not here
Am9
Even though you're not near
              Fmaj7b5  G
Do you even care
   Am9
About me?

[Verse 3]
                       Am9
You're sipping on your coffee, I'm finishing my wine
N.C.
I wish that time was solid so I could give it to you now
                 F
That we could be happy, I wouldn't have to wait
N.C.
I wish that I was gold to you
                    G
But it might be too late
                Am9
It might be too late

[Outro]
Am9
It might be too late
Am9
Too late
Am9
Because the sun is going down
Am9
And all of our candles are burned out
Am9
'Cause the sun is going down
Am9
And all of our candles are burned out, are burned out
Am9
Burned out
Am9
Because the sun is going down
Am9
And all of our candles are burned out, are burned out
Am9
Are burned
Am9
Out
