F Am Dm F G
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I knew who you were it was perfectly obvious
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I was uncomfortable playing it cool
F Am Dm F G
But I feel like I have always known you
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I kept you close and I thought you would question it
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Young in the night when we stare like the rest of them
F Am Dm
God forbid
F Am G
Oh my God
Chorus:
C
I would hold you close
F
Cause it is a lonely world
Am
But would you want me too
G
Cause it is a lonely world
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Well I put it off 'cause I'm painfully diffident
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
I played it out in my head from afar
F Am Dm F G
But then trust me to go miss my moment
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
You disappeared to my dissatisfaction
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Oh what could have been with a little more time
F Am Dm
Woe is me
F Am G
Oh my God
[CHORUS]
C
Yeah I would hold you close
F
Cause it is a lonely world
Am
If I was confident
G
Cause it is a lonely world
C
Yeah I would hold you close
F
Cause it is a lonely world
Am
But would you want me too
G
Cause it is a lonely world
C
Yeah I would hold you close
F
Cause it is a lonely world
Am
If I was confident
G
Cause it is a lonely world
