G
I'm waking up and you just fell asleep
Em7
Itâ??s funny 'cause you think I'm meant to be
Bm7
Used to this
C
If only you knew what you are to me
C
Youâ??d understand why this is hard
I'm new to this
G
You say you don't like feeling solo
Em7
We used to just be different postcodes
Bm7
Now it's time zones
Em7 Bm7
You say "don't wanna live this life through photos"
Em7
You say "we're a no-go"
C*
That's a low blow
[Pre-chorus]
G Em7 Cmaj7
You know I hate when you're not around
C
(Thatâ??s a low blow)

Promised when I left you'??d hold me down

I thought that you would surprise me
Em7 Bm7
Get on a plane and come find me
C
But instead you suppressed me

I guess it isn't surprising

Ooh
[Verse]
G
You say you're ready to go solo
Em7
I know we're more than different postcodes

You don't say what you want though
So how should I know?
