     G#                                  D# 
You ask me where I'd go tonight I'd go back to
            Fm
today last year
G#                               D# 
we knew how to make each other happy
                            Fm
and there was hope of everything
     G#                            D# 
It's hard enough to feel the world as it
                   Fm
is and hold on anything
               A#m7
without these quiet times,
C#                   G#
you've bought round here

I'm gonna have to run away,
I'm sure that I belong some other place
I've seen another side, of all
I've seen it keeps me wonderin' where my family is
It's hard enough to see the world as
it is and hold on anything
Without these quiet times comin' 'round here

Chorus:
          G#       D#     Fm
And I'll miss you, and I want you
            A#m7    C#                  G#
but I can't have you, even when you're here

I suppose I have to take you with me, broken mind,
I'd rather leave you here
To forget everything you've seen and known,
erase every idea
When you walk up in the street and hold my

hand and smile
Well, I won't be takin' it cause I know how
it turns out
And it takes me back to these quiet times comin'
'round here

Chorus:
And I miss you
And I want you
You're not coming back
And I need you
But I can't have you
Even when you're here
And I miss you
And I want you
You're not coming back
And I need you
But I can't have you
Even when you're here
