View chords used in this chart
G6
I should ink my skin
C
With your name
G6
And take my passport out again
C
And just replace it
G6
See I could do without a tan
C
On my left hand, where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
G6
And I should run you a hot bath
C
And fill it up with bubbles
C
Cos maybe you're loveable
D
And maybe you're my snowflake
G6 C
And your eyes turn from green to gray and in the winter i'll
Hold you in a cold place
C
And you should never cut your hair
D G6 C
Cos I love the way you flick it off your shoulder mmm
C D G6 C
And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
C D G6 D D4 G6
But maybe im just in love when you wake me up
G6
would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me.
C D
would you make me a cup of tea, to open my eyes in the right way?
G6
and I know you love shrek, cause we have watched it 12 times
C D
but, maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too, but if
G6
Your dvd breaks today,
C D
You should have got a vcr, because I'm never on blueray, true say.
G6
And I've always been shit at computer games, and your brother always beats me,
C
And if I lost, I'd go across, then I'd chuck all the
D G6
Controllers at the tv, then you'd laugh at me and be
Asking me, if I'm gonna be home next week,
C
And then you'd lie with me, until I fall asleep
D
And flutter eyelash on my cheek between the sheets
C
And you will never know,
D G6 C
Just how beautiful you are to me,
C D G6 D D4 G6
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
G6
and I think you hate the smell of smoke,
C
You always try get me to stop,
D G6
But you drink as much as me, and I get drunk a lot,
G6 C
So I'll take you to the beach, and walk along the sand,
D G6
And I'll make you a heart pendant, with a pebble held in my hand
C
And I'll carve it like a necklace, so the heart falls where your chest is
D
And now a piece of me, is a piece of the beach, and it falls just where it needs to be,
G6
And rests peacefully
G6 C D
You just need to breathe, to feel my heart against yours now, against yours now.
C D G6 C
But maybe im just in love when you wake me up. x2
C D G6
Maybe I'll fell in love, when you woke me up
