Verse 1:
AmGDm
I've been thinking about you a lot more than I should
DEmAmG
I've caught my finger slipping up the same page
DmDEm
Of my telephone book
AmG
But just hear me out, or let me in
DmDEm
Signing the guest list, places we've been
Am
I'm hoping with a soft spot
GDmDEm
That there's a chance of bumping into you
Chorus:
AmC
Tell me what does your heart say
Dm
Would you listen anyway?
FEAm
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
CDm
Tell me what have you got when you gave it all away
FEAm
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
Pre-Verse: GDmDVerse 2:
AmGDm
Still mingling with bouncers, unhappy where I'm stood
DEmAmG
Feeling like I miss thе way you kiss me
DmDEm
Mimic your lips with a sharp left HookAmG
So I look to her, took on thе chin
DmDEm
Blood on a jumper, tuck your shirt in
AmGDmDEm
Hopefully don't need you, but comfort in pretending that I do
Chorus:
AmC
Tell me what does your heart say
Dm
Would you listen anyway?

And you know just what to say

That the phone call's not the same

So just hear me out, or let me in
C6C7
I miss the hangnails, pits of your skin
CCaug
Those eyes of hers, looking at him
C6C7
I think a punch would hurt less than this
F
Bathed under an ocean, of turgid hotel lights
G
The gasping of attention, the rolling of your eyes
CCaug
Oh, don't make me go
C6
I could be so much better
C7
Could be what you want
F
Cold pillows of steel pressed before my tongue
G
Would love if it were your lips
Would settle for a gun

Tell me what does your heart say

When the evenings run it's course

Is always end up at your door
