F#m Six weeks since I've been away A Now you’re saying everything has changed E And I’m afraid that I might be losing D F#m you And every night that we spend alone A It Gets me thinking of you on your own E And I wish I was D back home next to you F#m E Oh every day you feel A a little bit further D F#m away And I don’t E know what to say Chorus: A Are we wasting time D talking on a broken line Telling you I F#m haven’t seen your E face in ages I feel like we’re as close as A strangers I Won’t give F#m up even though it hurts so much Every night I’m E losing you in a thousand D faces Now it feels we’re as close as strangers Late night calls and another text Is this as good as we're gonna get? Another time zone taking me away from you Living dreams and fluorescent lights While you and I are runnin' out of time But you know that I'll always wait for you Oh, every day, you feel a little bit further away And I don't know what to say Chorus 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 A have gone Every day it gets harder to E stay away from you So tell me are we So, tell me, are we wasting time talkin' on a broken line? Tellin' you I haven't seen your face in ages I feel like we're as close as strangers Chorus: Wasting time (Wasting time) talkin' on a broken line? (Broken line) Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages I feel like we're as close as strangers (Close as strangers) Won't give up (Won't give up), even though it hurts so much (Hurts so much) Every night, I'm losing you in a thousand faces Now it feels we're as close as strangers Six months since I went away I didn't know everything has changed But tomorrow I'll be comin' back to you | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA D E F#m Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
