Intro: Em G D D(C) x2
Em G
Settle down, head against the window
D C
Counting hours by the handful of plastic bottle shots
Em G
Coming home, sleeping in my own bed
D
Waking up to the silence
C
I’m no good at this at all
C Em C B7
I need a good distraction, honey if you could come by
Em G
And hold me like you want me, like that would make me happy,
D C
Like that would take the pain away if only for a while
Em G
And maybe in the morning, leave without a warning
D C
Just a note on the pillowcase that says ’i never wanted moreâ?
Em G D C x2
Em G
Cuddle up, wrap your arms around me
D
Don’t lace it up with sympathy
C
It’s just easy if you’re sleeping
Em G
Soon enough i’ll be leaving here tomorrow,
D C
And all the pain and the sorrow makes it easier to go
C Em C B7
I need a good distraction, honey if you could come by
Em G
And hold me like you want me, like that would make me happy,
D C
Like that would take the pain away if only for a while
Em G
And maybe in the morning, leave without a warning
D C
Just a note on the pillowcase that says ’i never wanted moreâ?
C Em D D
Oh, heartbreaker, name-taker, ladies man,
C Em D D C Em D D C Em D D..........
Oh, heartbreaker, name-taker, heartbreaker, ladies man, oh
(end on D)
