Em D
Hey you're too true to be good
Em D
And I'm to bad to pretend
C D *C D
Transparent and transfixed, I'm uncool
Heartbeat you're looking at me
Must stop I'm letting you see
This isn't how I want it to be
Pre-
Em Am
I have vision like no other
C D
So romantic you'll discover
Chorus-
G A
I wanna take you for granted
C
Drift while you're talking
D
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes
Intro- rep
(I wanna)
verse 2-
This is every girl's dream
No milk left for your tea
Baby's crying louder than me
Who lost the keys of your car
Sorry that would be me
I'd wake up only I'm not asleep
I have daydreams of another
So romantic you'll discover
I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes
Solo- intro - rep
(I wanna)
(I wanna)
I have vision of another
So romantic you'll discover
I wanna take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes
Let me take you for granted
Drift while you're talking
Bathe while you're downstairs
And chat on the phone
Fall sleep before bedtime
Pass in the hallway
Forget your birthday
And shrink all your clothes
(I wanna)
(I wanna)
Did I say that out loud?
