verse 1
G#7 Bm7
Heart beats fast I’ve never been scared of love
G#7 Bm7
Kiss my ass, Is something I’d never say to you
G#7 Bm7
Bring me back, so I could always meet you.
G#7 Bm7
Holdin you close, give me the words I want
Chorus
G#7
You’ve got my heart on a string
Bm7
And my mind in a twist.
G#7
When I’m looking at you
Bm7
I wanna look at your lips
G#7
Nothing compares to the
Bm7
sight of your eyes
N.C.
I wish I was yours, Do you wish you were mine
verse 2
G#7 Bm7
How am I here? I think I might be sick.
G#7 Bm7
Retrace my steps, it started in May I guess
G#7 Bm7
Live with regret, Will I ever tell her that?
G#7 Bm7
The things that I’ve said to her inside my head
verse 3
G#7 Bm7
It’s like a curse, a chokehold that never lets go
G#7 Bm7
Sit next to her, she's always a little bit sick.
G#7 Bm7
Can I hold her hand, or will it be obvious
G#7 Bm7
Make her confused, so that way I don’t combust.
Chorus
G#7
You’ve got my heart on a string
Bm7
And my mind in a twist.
G#7
When I’m looking at you
Bm7
I wanna look at your lips
G#7
Nothing compares to the
Bm7
sight of your eyes
N.C.
I wish I was yours, Do you wish you were mine
Bridge
G#7 Bm7
Don’t let her run away, I’ve never been this way
G#7 Bm7
Count back from ten, Till I see her once again
G#7 Bm7
Give me her love, in return, she’ll have my soul
G#7 Bm7
Let me steal away, does she really have to know?
