Thousands, no millions of hours

We've been skirting around this whole subject

And I'm dry now.
G G
My mouth will not speak, I'm weary and weak
D D4 D G
And I only wanted to see you again.

D G G
If that's unfair, just let me know,
D G G
Just write it down, and then I'll go.

But you skate around my human skin

An apple where your throat begins
G G
Just say...
D
Just tell the stars to give a sign,
D
Put it in a bottle...
D
Say you're mine.

Just tell the stars to give a sign,

Put it in a bottle...

Say you're mine.
