G* [320033]
[Verse 1]
Em*
You're not on my mind all the time
G* D
You are not what I think about every single night
Em*
Some days I forget how you make me feel
G* D
But maybe I was wrong, it's because I don't know
D
Who you are to me
[Chorus]
Am
So what's the code?
Em G*
Can someone teach me how to do this?
D Am
How do you know, what's the code?
Em G*
Is it as simple as just know yourself?
D
How do you know, what's the code?
Am Em
(What's the code, what's the code, what's the code?)
G* D
Mmm (What's the code, what's the code, what's the code?)
[Verse 2]
Em*
So I guess I'm just guessing, placing a bet
G* D
Maybe this time I'll make the right choice instead
Em*
'Cause I have this feeling that I've skipped a class
G* D
Everyone seems to get it while I am just in my mind
D
Losing my mind
[Chorus]
Am
So what's the code?
Em G*
Can someone teach me how to do this?
D Am
How do you know, what's the code?
Em G*
It's not as simple as just know yourself?
D Am
How do you know, what's the code?
Em
(What's the code, what's the code, what's the code?)
G* D
Mmm (What's the code, what's the code, what's the code?)
Am Em
(What's the code, what's the code, what's the code?)
G* D
(What's the code, what's the code, what's the code?)
[Outro]
Em*
And I wait for you to come around
G* D
To tell me it gets easier somehow
Em*
Assure, explain, lie if you like
G* D
Just tell me it gets easier somehow
D
Somehow
