New Recording 28 – Lions

Verse 1:
          A
I haven't heard you say goodnight

Slip both your hands between my thighs
             Gbm
Turn out the light, pulling me in
              D
Counting the freckles that dapple my skin
           A
I haven't felt you scratch my back

I make a joke 'cause I know you will laugh
             Gbm
My favorite sound, I hope that you still
               D
Laugh just as much now I'm not there to hear

Chorus:
          Gbm                                                        D
I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine
                A                                           E
I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright
                Gbm                                       D
You said if I really love you then I'd understand why a person like you needs some time
             A                          E                     A
So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine

Verse 2:
            A
You were my sun, I saw a light

I've always been happy but sad in this life
                 Gbm
But you gave me more, something to keep
                      D
Now I'm counting how many K's put me to sleep
                A
I want you to smile, to feel like enough

'Cause you deserve yellow and lions and love
                  Gbm
I hope you come back when you're doing well
                  E
Forgive me for being the worst of myself

Chorus:
              Gbm                                                      D
And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine
                A                                           E
I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright
               Gbm                                   D
You said if I really love you, I'd understand why a person like you needs some time
                 A                      E                      D
So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine

Verse 3:
             A
I watch the sun go down at the beach

Think about kissing you back in your Jeep
              Gbm
Watching the wind make home in your hair
                   E
Thinking that I could die happy right there
            A
I took my phone to tape as you walked

Down the rye coast with your hand in my palm
              Gbm
So I never forget how it feels to be home
                  D
When I close my eyes, that's where I go

Chorus:
               Gbm                                                    D
And I'll lay awake hoping that you're asleep in your building that's only sixteen blocks from mine
                A                                           E
I'll sleep all day hoping that you're awake loving every moment and doing alright
             Gbm                                           D
You said if I really love you then I'd understand why a person like you needs some time
                A                      E                       A
So I'll let you go, and hope you come home, if you're really mine
