[B/C#] [C#] [B/C#] [C#7] [C#7sus4]
[B/C#] [C#7] [C#7sus4] [B/C#] [C#7]
{end_of_part}
{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[B/C#] I don't wanna say "I [C#7]love you", [C#7sus4]
[B/C#] That would give away too [C#]much
[Bbm] It's hip to be de[F7/A]tached and [Bbm7/Ab]precious [F7/A]
[Bbm] The only thing you [C#7/B]feel is [D#]vicious
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
[B/C#] I don't wanna say "I [C#]want you", [C#7sus4]
[B/C#] Even though I want you so [C#]much
[Bbm] Wrapped up in [F7/A]conver[Bbm7/Ab]sation, [F7/A]
[Bbm] Whispered [C#7/B]in a [D#]hush
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_part: Pre-Chorus 1}
Though I'm [F#add9]frightened by the word,
I think it's [G#add9]time that it was heard
{end_of_part}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
No more [C#add9]empty self-pos[F#add9]session,
Visions [C#add9]swept under the [G#m]mat
It's no [E]New Years Reso[F#sus]lution, it's more than that
[C#add9] [C#sus]
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 3}
[B/C#] Now I wake up [C#]happy,
[B/C#] Warm in a lovers em[C#]brace
[Bbm] No one [F7/A]else can [Bbm7/Ab]touch us, [F7/A]
[Bbm] while we're [C#7/B]in this [D#]place
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_part: Pre-Chorus 2}
So I [F#add9]sing it to the world,
A simple [G#add9]message to my girl
{end_of_part}
{chorus: Chorus 2}
{start_of_part: Instrumental}
[B/C#] [C#7] [B/C#] [C#7]
[Bbm] [F7/A] [Bbm7/Ab] [F7/A] [Bbm] [C#7/B] [D#]
{end_of_part}
{start_of_part: Pre-Chorus 3}
Though I'm [F#add9]frightened by the word,
Think it's [G#add9]time I made it heard
So I'll [F#add9]sing it to the world,
A simple [G#add9]message to my girl
{end_of_part}
{chorus: Chorus 3}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 4}
Oh, there's [C#add9]nothing quite as [F#add9]real
As the [C#add9]touch of your sweet [G#m]hands
I can't [E]spend the rest of [F#sus]my life, buried in the sand
[C#add9] [C#sus] [C#add9]
