Intro:
A - G#m - E
F#m - A - C#m
A G#m
When I get back from a long flight
E
You said you'd meet me there
F#m A C#m
I've been tripping off constellations and stars
A G#m
Found you at home, what was our home
E
With another man, oh man
F#m A C#m
Been keeping you in my heart
A G#m
And so I whisper into your ear
E
What are you thinking 'bout?
F#m A C#m
You just looked up at the stars
A G#m
And so I whisper into your ear
E
Who are you thinking 'bout?
F#m A C#m
It couldn't be me
A
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
E
Without the rivers to tend.
A
Because you remember our love was true,
C#m
But you just needed a hand,
A
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
E
Without yourself to defend.
A
You know you hurt me so bad,
C#m
Just 'cause you needed a hand.
A
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
E
I really wanted you there.
A
But you ruined what was love
C#m
Just 'cause you needed a hand
A
Just cause you needed a hand
A G#m
This is the way that it all falls.
E
This is how I feel, this is what I need
F#m A
You, by me, right here, by me,
C#m
Right now.
A G#m
And so I whisper into your ear
E
What are you thinking 'bout?
F#m A C#m
You just looked up at the stars
A G#m
And so I whisper into your ear
E
Who are you thinking 'bout?
F#m A C#m
It couldn't be me
A
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
E
Without the rivers to tend.
A
Because you remember our love was true,
C#m
But you just needed a hand,
A
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
E
Without yourself to defend.
A
You know you hurt me so bad,
C#m
Just 'cause you needed a hand.
A
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
E
I really wanted you there.
A
But you ruined what was love
C#m
Just 'cause you needed a hand
A
Just cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand.
