F
I watched you breathe in
Dm
And I wished you'd stop
Am              G
Only for long enough
       Em
Long enough

F   Am   G
It's hard to say

F              Dm
Separate or combine
          Am
I ask you one last time
                    G
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?

   Dm   C    G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It's not a secret you should keep
I won't let you slip away

F              Dm           C
We used to be closer than this
               Am           G
We used to be closer than this
                 G
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?

F               Dm          Am
We used to be closer than this
                Am          G
We used to be closer than this
                 G           E
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?

Winged or chained
I ask you, 'Would you have stayed?'
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
