Am
How am I ever gonna shake this feeling?
Now you look at me like you’re surprised
Em
It’s like your picture’s taped behind my eyelids
Miracle if I sleep at night
Dm
Reena said that I’m your old bad habit
Am C
Now I’m scared you’re gonna think that’s right
Dm
I hear your name and I can’t hold the tears back
I had to come and see if you were alright
G
A little too long since I felt the magic
Chemicals soaking down my spine
Am
I know I always tend to talk and ramble
What I mean, don’t come out right
C
You gotta know that there’s no life without ya
I’m only yours and you’re only mine
Dm
I do my best to cover up the silence
I wrote your name like a thousand times
G
Maybe you could come and take me dancing
Thin like Lizzy moving through the moonlight
Am
Your picture’s taped up on my bathroom mirror
I start the day looking at your smile
C
You gotta know that there’s no life without ya
I’m only yours and you’re only mine

I’m only yours and you’re only mine
