Verse 1:

          D
Take your hand,
                    C
And place it in my pocket,

Flick your eyes back in their sockets
G
Put those thoughts away
                            D
Sometimes they're much too loud
             D
I'll take a breath
                       C
And cradle your sweet head
                            G
Should've stayed at home in bed
                       D
Put that face away I'm melting for you


Pre-Chorus:

  G
I know,
       Bm
I get cold
D
Cause I can't leave things well alone

Understand I'm accident prone
G         Bm
Me, I get free
C                       G
Every night the moon is mine


Chorus:

                      D
But when the morning comes
               C
Don't say you love me,
                G
Don't say you need me
               D
I really don't think that's fair
                 D                  C
Boy, I'm not so dumb, but when you leave me
        G                     D
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there


Verse 2:

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

Pre-Chorus:

  G
I know,
       Bm
I get cold
D
Cause I can't leave things well alone

Understand I'm accident prone
G         Bm
Me, I get free
C                       G
Every night the moon is mine


Chorus:

                      D
But when the morning comes
               C
Don't say you love me,
                G
Don't say you need me
               D
I really don't think that's fair
                 D                  C
Boy, I'm not so dumb, but when you leave me
        G                     D
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there


G                     D
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
G                     D
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you (x2)

Bridge:

                   C
No, don't say you love me,
              G
Don't say you need me
                      D
I really don't think that's fair
                  D                  C
Whoa, I'm not so dumb, but when you leave me
G                             D
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you


G                      D
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
G                      D
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you (Play until end)
