(Hope that made sense - It's my first submission) (Also a quick note - if you listen to the song he does a hammer on with his index finger on the second fret A string [G Chord] every now and then)
[Intro] - Dmaj7G
[Verse]
Dmaj7 Well I see you standing there and your eyes are unaware G That I've been staring at them all night, wishing the brain behind them cared Em About the way you make me feel or how your smile makes me nervous A Or how the fact that you exist makes me feel like I have a purpose. Dmaj7 I'm sick of lying in your bed while we're both laying down. G You say you want me for a friend. I hope you know I hate that sound. Em But I will bite my tongue because I hate when you're pissed off. A But you should know I need your touch like falling rain on thirsty crops.
[Chorus]
GADAG But damn you stupid girl. Why won't you drop your guard? ADAG The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart. ADAG And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more. A So why won't you love me?
[Short Bridge Thing] - Dmaj7 G
Dmaj7 Well I hate your cigarettes and the men that you go see G Because one is killing you, while the other's killing me. Em But I know that you'll stay stubborn because you know I'll stay alone. A 'Cause we both know, inside your grasp, is the only place I feel at home. Dmaj7 Now I sit with my guitar. Write you one more stupid song. G I hate the way you make me feel like I'm doing something wrong. Em But you'll just have to deal with all the things that I have mentioned A And I hope this song is golden like the point of my intentions
[Chorus]
GADAG But damn you stupid girl. Why won't you drop your guard? ADAG The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart. ADAG And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more. A So why won't you love me?
[Short Bridge Thing] - Dmaj7 G
[Verse]
Dmaj7 Now the deed is done and there is nothing left to say. G Prayed to the God you don't believe in, that you'll love me some day. Em So when the years go by and you forget how much I care; A Put in this song and sing along so your heart will be aware.
[Outro]
GADAG It's like giving up on everything that you believe ADAG To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right off your sleeve. ADAG And I'm so sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more. A (Strum once) Dmaj7 (Strum once) But you just won't love me.
Hope y'all liked it - Name's James Lavelle - Nice to meet you!
