Bm          A
Sometimes I wake at night
     D                                 G
And watch the rain fall through the street lights
Bm                       A
'Cause you're standing still in my mind
 D                  G
Fading out, waving goodbye

Chorus:
      Em                D  
And I wonder where you are tonight
        A                    Bm
If the one you're with was a compromise
         Em                D  
As we're walking lines in parallel
           A                  Bm
That will never meet and it's just as well

Sometimes I'm overcome
By every choice I couldn't outrun
The junctions all disappear
You can't double back to your summer years

Chorus - x2

It's just as well
