 Em                             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

if you wanted to
