D
I been watchin? you watchin? me, I could feel your eyes from way across the room
Bm
But now that I?m holdin? you close I can see ain?t no way I?m gonna get around you
D
I won?t tell you I don?t need you tonight, I won?t pretend I ain?t burnin? inside
Bm
Your skin glowin? soft in the silver moonlight, the shadows where the promises hide
G Gm
The bittersweet taste of your kiss, it?s all more than I can resist
 
[Refrão]D Bm F#m A
If you?re thinkin? ?bout breakin? my heart
D Bm F#m A
You might as well just pick up your little black dress and go
D Bm F#m A
Somebody else already tore it apart
G Gm
And I thought you should know
 
Maybe this is all that you want, maybe you?re just as lonesome as me
A shoulder that you can cry on, a warm safe place you can be
Someone to call in the middle of the night when the ghosts in your bedroom won?t rest
Two arms to hold you tight, I promise that I?ll do my best
To give you everything I got to give and keep your secrets for as long as I live
