Intro: G D Em C
 
verse 1:
 
G D Em
I'm tossing in my sleep trying to shut him up
C G
With fevered dreams
D Em
Its only been a week; a half hearted fantasy
C G
Wondering what he sees in me
D
In our separate space we are idols from a higher place
Em C
The beautiful ones that everyone wants
G D
And I'd be happy to adore him from a distance
Em C
But knowing he adores me from a distance
 
[Refrão]
C
Makes this hard
Em
And its slow
D Em
Longing for just one more moment
C D
Knowing that he has to go
 
C
And its false
Em
And its weak
D Em C D C A9
There's nothing to be said now but in our silence we're both aching to speak
 
verse 2:
G D Em
This emotion frustrated confusion is it all an illusion
C G
Will I wake up to a harsh and empty space

His devotion lies in someone else's arms
Em
And I am just an outsider
C
Trying to save face
 
[Refrão]
C
And its hard
Em
And its slow
D Em
Wanting to be all he wants
C D
Knowing that's not how it goes

And its false
Em
And its weak

There's nothing to be said now but in our silence we're both aching to speak

And I'm so weak
