[Verse 1]
G Am
baby, all these mornings feel so long now,
Em Am
and the nights feel way too loud.
C C
they demand my attention.
G D
but i’ve already spent it on you.
G Am
in the way you take my breath, i am left
Em Em G D
so keenly aware of the presence of my lungs.
G Am
and in the way you make it skip its beats
C Em
i am just as struck by the notion that i have
Am Am
a heart.
C C
how did it get this far?
[Chorus]
G D
and i might just die a memory
G Am
but you will live forever this poem
Em Em
i wrote for you
Am C
scribbled down on the back of the bus that takes me home
G D
after i spend the night learning
G Am
what it means to be yearning for
Em***
a love like the road.
G* D
will you take me back home?
[Instrumental]
D G G Am Am Em Em Am C G G D D
[Verse 2]
G Am
its like driving too fast over speedbumps,
Em Am
the way you make me so keenly aware
C C
of the way my organs are arranged.
G D
and i wonder if you’d ever love me
G Am
while i spend all that time in the air.
Em Em
it makes me go insane.
G D
i’d long for a yes as loud as the wheels
G Am
reuniting triumphantly with the asphalt.
Em Em
i feel you so deep in my stomach
G D
like i do butterflies and potholes.
G Am
and baby you grip my chest like my fear of dying.
C Em
your head-on collision, so terrifying.
Am
you love me like car crash,
Em
i love you like airbags.
Am
i hold you like traffic,
C
you hold me like jetlag.
[Chorus]
G D
and i might just die a memory
G Am
but you will live forever this poem
Em Em
i wrote for you
Am C
scribbled down on the back of the bus that takes me home
G D
after i spend the night learning
G Am
what it means to be yearning for
Em
a love like the road.
Em
will you take me back
G D
to the place that i kissed you?
G Am
please dont overcomplicate it, i miss you.
Em
can you bring me back home?
Em
can you take me back
G D
to the night where you saw me,
G Am
when i am a mote then you are a sunbeam
Em
that i love like the road.
Em Am
will you bring me back home?
Am C***
will you bring me back home?
G* D
will you bring me back home?
[Instrumental]
