C
Am
Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Am
Em
Do you ever get the fear that you can't shift the type
Em
that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
C
Am
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Em
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
Em
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
C
Am
How many secrets can you keep?
Em
Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow
Em
And I play it on repeat
C
Am
Until I fall asleep
B
Spilling drinks on my settee
C
Do I wanna know
Am
if this feeling flows both ways?
Em
Sad to see you go
Em
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
C
Baby we both know
Am
That the nights were mainly made
Em
for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Em
Crawlin' back to you
C
Am
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few
Em
Cos I always do
Em
C
Am
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Em
Now I've thought it through
Em
Crawlin' back to you
C
Am
So have you got the guts?
Em
Been wondering if your hearts still open
Em
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts
C
Am
Simmer down and pucker up I'm sorry to interrupt
Em
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp
C
Am
Of trying to kiss you
Em
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
C
Am
But we could be together
B
if you wanted to
C
Do I wanna know
Am
if this feeling flows both ways?
Em
Sad to see you go
Em
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
C
Baby we both know
Am
That the nights were mainly made
Em
for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Em
Crawlin' back to you
C
Am
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few
Em
Cos I always do
Em
C
Am
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
