F#m A
Here's a funny little story
F#m Bm D
That I've never shared with you
F#m A
I used to lie awake in bed at night and wish that you
Bm D
Would wake and find your way into my room
F#m A
But when morning came to get me
F#m Bm D
With you still sleeping on my couch
F#m
Well, I cursed my cowardice
A
And I wished that I could just
D E
Let you know how I really felt
F#m A
But there's something kinda shady
F#m Bm D
'Bout hitting on a pretty girl
F#m A
It seems like everyone these days is trying to sell you
Bm D
Some dumb line you've probably already heard
F#m A
So I've always played it quiet
F#m Bm D
And let things happen if they do
F#m
But I'm sick of waiting 'round
A
For you to figure out
D E
That all I really want is you
[Chorus]

And head right for the heart of it

I want you

I want you

F#m A
It's an advertising era
F#m Bm D
All high speed chase, no dialogue
F#m A
You keep looking for connections but it seems
Bm D
That all you get are hit and run for office jobs
F#m A
In an advertising era
F#m Bm D
You're always looking for a sign
F#m
Someone to call your name
A
Tell you they feel the same
D E
Well if you're listening, this one's mine
[Chorus]

On the off-chance that you hear this song
