Tiger Lily

            G
we drive tonight,
                   C 
and you are by my side.
                G  
We're talking about our lives,
         Am                 D
like we've known each other forever.
               G
the time flies by,
                       Em
with the sound of your voice.
              G  
its close to paradise,
         C          D 
with the end surely near.
         G            D
and if i could only stop the car
    Em
and hold onto you,
           C
and never let go (and never let go)
            D
i'll never let go (i'll never let go)
       G
as we round the corner

to your house
    Em
you turned to me and said,
         C
"i'll be going through withdrawal of you
         D
for this one night we have spent."
     G                    Am    
and, i want to speak these words
            Em
but i guess i'll just bite my tongue,
     C
and accept "someday, somehow"
        D
as the words that we'll hang from.



 G       f#                                 Em
and I             (i..),    i don't want to speak these words.
     C                                 D
'cause i ('cause i..), i don't want to make things any worse.

 G       f#                                 Em  
and I                (i..), i don't want to speak these words

     C                    Em                     C
'cause i, i don't want to make things any worse.



           D                G
why does tonight, have to end?
        f#                     
why don't we hit restart,
  Em                            C
and pause it at our favorite parts.
                  D          G
we'll skip the goodbyes
              f#
if i had it my way,
Em                               C 
i'd turn the car around and runaway,
            D
just you and        i.



   G          Bm                           Em   
and I               (i..), i don't want to speak these words.
     C                                 D
'cause i ('cause i..), i don't want to make things any worse. (any worse)
   G          Bm                           Em 
and i               (i..), i don't want to speak these words
     C                    D                                           
'cause i, i don't want to make things
  C                    D                   G  
and i, i don't want to make things any worse
