[Verse 1]
 
G
I know it's over
Bm7
You know it's over,
           Cadd9             G/B
We're just goin' through the motions
          Am7               B7sus4       B7    Em   Gmaj7/D
But we're sailin' separate oceans, world's apart
                  Cadd9               C
And you know it's breakin' my heart
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
I was a dreamer
Bm7
You were a dreamer
       Cadd9         G/B
But perfection is consuming
       Am7               B7sus4 B7      Em   Gmaj7/D
And it seems we're only human af--ter all
                    Cadd9            C
And we've both been takin' the fall
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Bm7
But tomorrow
            Em            Gmaj7/D
We'll run a little bit faster
     Cmaj7
Tomor-row
            D                D/C     Bm7   Em
We're gonna find what we're after at last
D6               Cmaj7       C#m7b5
Feelings that we left in the past
        G/D               D6*
There's romance in the sun-set
      C/D                  D7sus4*     G
We're boats against the current to the end.

[Verse 3]
 
G
Maybe we're older
Bm7
Maybe we're colder
      Cadd9       G/B
So we disregard solutions
         Am7             B7sus4      B7    Em   Gmaj7/D
While we cling to our ill-usions once again
              Cadd9           C
And we keep rememberin' when
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
G
Seasons are changin'
Bm7
Reasons are changin'
Cadd9                  G/B
But the story isn't ending
      Am7                  B7sus4   B7       Em   Gmaj7/D
So we find ourselves preten-ding one more day
                     Cadd9          C
While the years keep slippin' away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Bm7
But tomorrow
            Em            Gmaj7/D
We'll run a little bit faster

Feelings that we left in the past

There's romance in the sun-set
      C/D                  D7sus4*     G
We're boats against the current to the end.

We're boats against the current to the end.
