Verse 1
F 
Take your hand
And place it in my pocket
Ebadd9 
Flick your eyes back in their sockets
Bbadd9 
Put       those thoughts away
F 
Sometimes they're much to loud
I'll take a breath
Ebadd9 
And cradle your sweet head
Bbadd9 
Should've stayed at home in bed
Put that face away
F 
I'm melting for you

Pre-chorus 1

I know, I get cold

'cause I can't leave things well alone

Understand I'm accident prone

Me, I get free

Every night the moon is mine

Chorus 1
F7 
But when the morning comes
Ebadd9 
Don't say you love me
Bbsus4 
Don't say you need me
F7 
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
Ebadd9 
But when you leave me
Bbsus4 
I'll be wishing   I, wishing I,
F7 
wishing, I was there

Verse 2
F 
Ebadd9 
I dreamt about another girl in bed with you
You just laughed and smiled
Bbadd9 
Denied the proof
F 
We're fine till I think of the problem
I wish it made sense
Ebadd9 
Like a joke that no one gets
Bbadd9 
It's a life without regret
F 
I want it to feel that way, forever and ever
