Intro: (F#m Bm Bsus2 Bm)x2
Verse 1:
F#m Bm Bsus4
I woke up in bed last night when something came upon me
F#m Bm Bsus4
I was not lying by myself, but I’ve never felt so lonely
F#m Bm Bsus4
Something’s come between us, girl feels like we’ve hit a wall
D C#sus2
How can I know just how you feel when we don’t touch at all
F#m Bm Bsus4
This no communication thing is quickly growing old
F#m Bm Bsus4
This isolation booth I’m in is dark and turning cold
F#m Bm Bsus4
I used to steal your breath away with just one little kiss
D C#sus2 F#m
Me and you, we were so in love back then but that’s not how it is
Chorus:
A E
But I’d catch moonlight in a bottle if we could drink a toast to happiness
Bm D C#m
Fill my pickup bed with roses and back it right up to your door
F#m Bm
I’d write your name in candy kisses from here to Carolina
D C#sus2
If you change your mind and love me like before but that’s not how it is
Instrumental: (F#m Bm Bsus2 Bm) x2
Verse 2:
F#m Bm Bsus4
I have tossed and turned and rolled it over in my mind
F#m Bm Bsus4
Not knowing all the questions make the answers hard to find
F#m Bm Bsus4
I think I’ve covered everything but still there’s something that I’ve missed
D C#sus2 F#m
I used to read you baby like a book but that’s not how it is
Chorus 2:
A E
But I’d catch moonlight in a bottle if we could drink a toast to happiness
Bm D C#m
Fill my pickup bed with roses and back it right up to your door
F#m Bm
I’d write your name in candy kisses from here to Carolina
D C#sus2
If you change your mind and love me like before but that’s not how it is
Solo: (A E Bm D C#m)
Chorus 3:
F#m Bm
No, I’d write your name in candy kisses from here to Carolina
D C#sus2
If you change your mind and love me like before but that’s not how it is
Instrumental: (F#m Bm Bsus2 Bm) play to the end
Ad Lib:
That’s not how it is
Ooh no, that’s not how it is
Hmmm
Said I woke up in bed last night when somethin’ came upon me
And I’ve never been so lonely
That’s not how it is, hmmm
