Intro: E-Em7-Abm-A- x2


Verse 1:
        E           Em7
All the boys voices cracking 
       Abm               A
Oh the moaning half tones 
               E
Come summertime we're 
Em7          Abm A
all the same age here 
        E
All the tension and the
Em7                Abm
terror Thin limbed gorgeous
            A
green eyes smiling 
    E   Em7    Abm        A
And I'm going straight to hell 


Refrain 1:
B         A      Abm      A
  All the possibility and promise
    B A               Abm  A
just  weighs on me so heavily and 


Chorus:
 E
I try but I'm 
not convincing 
C#m
   Your lips they
pout and twist and 
F#m
  I die trying just to keep
  A         B
myself from kissing you
E
  You take in everything 
    C#m
with a certainty I envy 
F#m
  It's somehow all I need 
     A       B
Just keep me guessing please

Verse 2:
        E
Darling All of these 
Em7              Abm           A
awkwardjumpstartstalling conversations 
          E       Em7     Abm A
Mean much more to me than any-thing 
         E              Em7
It comes down to me and you 
            Abm               A
And whether we're supposed to or
             E          Em7
not We still will We're so
     Abm    A
much better off than them 


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)

Bridge:
  C#m
A look A laugh A smile A second 
A
Passes by and I regret it 
Abm        A      B
Words just aren't right 
C#m
Sometimes I just can't explain 
A
All the ways you devastate
   Abm    A     B
me Always on my mind 


(Repeat Chorus twice)
