Where did you go once

the lights when black?

  Look what's become of me 
              Em

Bridge: 

C                     D 
  And to tell you the truth 
                   Em 
I lost my faith in you 
you gotta stop speaking 
Bm       C 
off on me And these  
         D 
unspoken lies 
                    Em 
appear at the worst times 
you gotta stop speaking 
Bm 
off on me  
C                D 
  They're hiding just 
            Em  C G D Em C G D 
behind your eyes 

Em C G D Em C G D C  

Chorus 3:
 
      B       Em 
Where did you go once 
    G 
the lights when black? 
C                       Am 
  Look what's become of me 
              Em 
I've grown to love 
          D/F# 
your disappearing acts 
   C               G 
Do one more pretty please

              Em 
Where did you go once 
    G 
the lights when black? 
C 
  You nearly gave us 
  Am 
a heart attack 
Em 
  We thought you  
           D/F# 
might swim out to sea 
G 
  You gotta stop 
         B 
sneaking off on me 
C 
  You gotta stop 
         D        Em 
sneaking off on me
