[Verse 1]
C E Am
Leave the light on, dear
Gm F Fm C G
Sweep the front porch in case I'm strong enough to call again
C E Am
It won't be tomorrow, dear
Gm F Fm C G
Or the next day. But when I can accept that we're just friends
C E Am Gm
If heartbreak was a crime, you'd be locked up
F Fm C G
And I'd gladly throw away the key
C E Am Gm
I need some time to let my wounds heal up
F Fm C G
Some time to the let the girl I love leave my dreams
[Chorus]
C E Am
Just give my poor heart ease
Gm F Fm C G
I'm begging please, please, please
C E Am
Just give my poor heart ease
Gm F Fm C G
I'm begging please, please, please
[Verse 2]
C E Am
Don't you dare dial me
Gm F Fm C G
And if we're both at the same bar, don't you glance or wave or shout
C E Am
Just let me hate the fact
Gm F Fm
That you mean more to me than I to you
C G
Of that, there is no doubt
C E Am
What a fool to think that we could be
Gm F Fm C G
Friends and lovers together, happily
C E Am Gm
I need some time to let my wounds heal up
F Fm C G
Some time to let the girl I love leave my dreams
[Chorus]
C E Am
Just give my poor heart ease
Gm F Fm C G
I'm begging please, please, please
C E Am
Just give my poor heart ease
Gm F Fm C G
I'm begging please, please, please
[Outro]
C E Am
Just give my poor heart ease
Gm F Fm C G
I'm begging please, please, please
C E Am
Just give my poor heart ease
Gm F Fm C G
I'm begging please, please, please
