Capo 1
(Intro) Am F C G
G Am F
Well It's me, going so weak in the knees,
C G
thinking of falling asleep looking in your eyes
Am F
but right now, I'm finding it hard to make out,
C G
which word I somehow left out, because of that smile
Am F
Baby don't be so elusive, I'm trying so hard to refute this,
C G
and every night I just dream this dream of you
Am
You're wearing that same old black dress,
F
hair to the shoulders and no less
C G
and calling out the same name over and over again,
Am
and it's me
I... adore you
F
I... adore you
C G
I... adore you
Am F
When will she be finding it harder to breathe,
C G
finding it harder to sleep through the same night
Am F
But right now, the days turn into nights,
C G
and nothing feels alright, for you
Am F C G
Am F
Baby don't be so elusive, I'm trying so hard to refute this,
C G
and every night I just dream this dream of you

You're wearing that same old black dress,
F
hair to the shoulders and no less
C G
and calling out the same name over and over again,
Am
and it's me
Am
But it's like there's something more,
F C
Pick my heart off the floor,
Am F C G
And its you that I adore, adore
Am F
Baby don't be so elusive, I'm trying so hard to refute this,
C G
and every night I just dream this dream of you

You're wearing that same old black dress,

hair to the shoulders and no less
