G C I saw her walking down the street G A I saw her, good music on repeat C Cminor G And I thought this could be her. G C I said hi, her smile that filled the air G A She said “hey, come sit down over here” C Cminor G And I thought, this would go nowhere (Chorus) Because she's C Cminor a Mermaid in the sea, a sweet drop of lemon tea, G A7 a constellation above, I'm a C Cminor Lonely wanderer, a mundane traveller, G A7 searching for love. C Cminor And I can't stop, and she can't go G B A7 The meaning is all worn out, C Cuz we're a pair not meant to be, Cminor G The angel and me. I told her, “I don't know the words to say.” She told me, "It's better off that way It's real, it's rough, it's gold." I asked her, “Did your hair get cut last night?” she said “Kinda, it did put up a fight. But I like it now how it is. (chorus) And she's a goddess of the moon, the starlight and the tune of birds in the summer night, I'm just a lonely girl, my stomach does a twirl I can barely stand up right (just about to take flight), And I can't stop, and she can't go, This could be the last chance I get, But we're a pair not meant to be, The angel and me. (Bridge!) (G D) C And I got up to go, but she said, “hey wait, G aren’t you going to let me say bye?” C I replied to her, "no, I'm not worth your time, G So I don't even want you to try. D You’re too good for me, why can’t you see?” A And I could see the light dawn in her eyes. Then she said, C “I’m just an ordinary girl, Cminor I’m not your shiny pearl, G A You’re taking this crush way too far. C (but) I’m not the one for you, Cminor please search for someone new, G A you’re perfect the way you are." C Cminor And I stood there, and she smiled wide, G A and said “I guess this is where we say bye.” C Cminor I guess now we both agree, G A7 it’s easy now to see, C Cminor we’re a pair not meant to be, Gmaj7 this girl and me.

Gmaj7 Christmas lights in June, G7 An overcast moon, Eminor A7 the crickets singing lullabies. Cmaj7 D Let us escape the world G You and I Gmaj7 Together, we can be G7 a simple harmony, Eminor A7 Let’s watch how slow the time just passes by, Cmaj7 D Let’s close the distance fast, G G7 Glad you asked. C Cmaj7 Lost in your eyes, I’m lost in your smile, Gmaj7 G7 Can I stay here a little while? C Cminor Your hand touches mine, you laugh, “that’s fine,” G A “Sure, if that’s your style.” (chorus) C G Just Chill with me D The time is all for us, C G to stay together peacefully. C G Just chill with me D Let’s be selfish, just this once, C go tell our lives we’ve had enough and G let us be. Affection from the bed, and you’re inside my head, I can’t escape your boldness and your scent, And when you talk to me, it’s hard for me to see what you meant. Am I moving too fast? A little, kinda, yes, Ok, we’ll slow it down and catch your breath, I feel when I’m with you, I’m cheating death. I’m lost in your face, and I’m lost in your locks, Your gaze could stop a clock. And we’re frozen in space, the stars are in place, not enough air in the room to talk. C G Just Chill with me D The time is all for us, C G to stay together peacefully. C G Just chill with me D Let’s be selfish, just this once, C go tell our lives we’ve had enough and G let us be. C G D A7 Just chill (Just chill), Just chill (Just chill), Just chill, Just chill, Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Aminor D7 Just chill (Just chill), Just chill (Just chill), Just chill, Just chill. C Cmaj7 I’m lost in you, there’s nothing left to do, Gmaj7 G7 but sit and admire the view. C Cminor It’s all a bit cliche, but I like it that way G A after all that we’ve been through C G Just Chill with me D The time is all for us, C G to stay together peacefully. C G Just chill with me D just let all your tension go, C leave your troubles and your woes and G let us be.

Stuck on You 03:41
3Verse prog; Dm G C x2 (Dm G7 Cmaj7) Dm G Em A Dm G C (Dm Fm C) Verse 1: How can I stop myself from dreaming of you? I don't know why i feel the way I do. My heart is perched on the edge of a cliff. Should I jump? Should i stay? What if? I've been here so many times before. I've walked the path, I've opened up that door. But if somehow this is different from then, maybe I should try again. Pre-chorus: Because Dm G7 C I know the risk of falling, it hurts every time , Dm G7 C And whenever you pass I keep losing my mind, Dm. G. Em. A I know how I feel, and I can't follow through Dm. G I keep getting stuck on you Chorus: C Em A Dm Fm C X2 I can't get you out of my head. Every time I crawl into my bed, At night my memories come out to play, And the ones of you always stay. (-or- never go away). Verse 2: I tell myself, we're just good friends, And the fear of losing that stops me again, But my breath shortens quick and the beat of my heart Overpowers my brain when we part. It's silly to even consider. The world is not a jar that's full of glitter. It's not a snow globe, you can't just shake it up, And expect a perfect layer on top And ya, (Pre chorus) Bridge: Dm Em In a way I love it, the hope that it brings And maybe if I never jump, this can all end clean, Dm Em Fm C Why am I like this, I think I'm too much Dm Em Fm G Why am I like this, I've had enough Because (Prechorus --> Chorus)

All I long for is your precious face Am D And if the only thing you need is space G Em The tea can go into the microwave Am D Cuz I remember all the love you gave G Em Cuz all I want is your wondrous eyes Am D With them I have no need to fantasize G Em But if you need a minute on your own Am D I’ll just be thinking ‘bout the love we’ve grown G Em (chorus) Because I’m there with you Am D Don’t worry, I’m not through Bm E No way that I’d undo Am D What I have with you G We’re all imperfect here Am D You don’t have to fear Bm E That when the smoke is clear Am D I won’t be near G Em Cuz I’ll be right here Cmaj7 D Bm E C Cm G The tea is boiled movie's loaded too, Am D The strings of lights are shining as they do, G Em I warmed the sheets in case you’re feeling cold, Am D And we’ve got eggs although they’re getting old. G Em You need some time and I can understand, Am D After all it’s just means to an end G Em And when you’re done we could talk all night Am D About the things that you’ve been doing right G Em (Chorus) I wouldn’t hurt you like that Cmaj7 D And if I did fall flat Bm Em Please tell me where I went wrong Cmaj7 D I just need a sign G Don’t worry about me Cmaj7 D I’ll be fine, honestly Bm Em Just tell me, tell me you’ll be ok Cmaj7 D (chorus) Because I’m here with you Am D Don’t worry, I’m not through Bm E No way that I’d undo Am D What I have with you G We’re all imperfect here Am D You don’t have to fear Bm E That when the smoke is clear Am D I won’t be near G Em Cuz I’ll be right here Cmaj7 D Bm E C Cm G

Gmaj7 G7 I would find a million words to write C Cm If it meant I could see your face tonight. Gmaj7 G7 And I would live a hundred thousand lives, Am C If in one of them, I’d be by your side. (pre-chorus) Em B And, oh, you are so far away G I know you couldn’t stay A And darling, that’s ok Em B But oh, I see you in my dreams C Every place it seems, Cm Your charm and essence gleams. (Chorus) G So the next time I see you, I’ll cry a river, Em We’ll run through the rain ‘til we get the shivers, D We’ll take off our shoes and dance really badly, C I’d do anything with you. The next time I hear you, I’ll sing a song, We’ll stay in bed as if nothing is wrong And hum to your music as we go along Cm I’ll do anything for you. I would try a billion different doors, If you were there to sweep me off the floor. And I would walk about a dozen miles, and another dozen more Don’t say a word, you know I’m yours. (Prechorus) And oh, I can see you clear as day, Even when you’re far away. And darling, I’m so gay, And oh, I feel I’m taking this too far, cuz I’m wishing on a star, That you’re happy where you are. (CHORUS) (Bridge) D C Cm G You make my life so much better D C Cm When I’m with you, it’s all brighter (repeat chorus) Yooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu For you.

Hey love, I think you’re so sweet, Our lives are like a puzzle that’s slowly being done, It’s almost fun Hey love, I think that you’re cute, The laughter from your eyes never fail to make me grin Yeah, you win (chorus) (mouth brass break) Hey love, I can’t leave your side, Whenever you give a small tug I start tumbling down, Without a frown. Hey love, I’m in absolute bliss, There’s no way that just three words can describe how I feel, Please tell me you’re real (Chorus)

D Woke up with aching bones of ice Em My forehead’s burning up nice. A7 I guess we’re staying home tonight, D I’ll brew some tea to sate my appetite. I’m shivering from the autumn in my head, And I’m stocking up on blankets for my bed. Looking forward to some ramen, I guess this one’s a long time comin. Em A Looks like our date night is spoiled, D Bm My cold sores have returned, it’s a disaster, I think the soup has boiled, I wish I could get better faster. Em A It’s another sick day with me, Bm E I’m just another absentee, G A This isn’t hyperbole, sadly, D B I’m down with the cold. Em A And it’s making me feel real tired, Bm E I hope I don’t get fired, G A By you, I am inspired, D To recover from this cold! I’m drinking water as I go, Bathroom’s off limits just so you know, My coughings gotten worse, And sneezings just been a curse. I’m using toilet rolls for my nose My trash can’s getting filled up with blows, And sweat clings to my skin, And it looks like I’m out of aspirin Looks like I’m still stuck like this, I’m sorry if you’ve been affected. Right now we shouldn’t kiss Unless you’d like to be infected, (Chorus) (Interlude) Looks like my fever is broke, Well that’s good, I’m recovering, And now my sheets are soaked I guess today I’m not dying. (Chorus)

F Dm Look, I can’t tell you what my plans are, Bb Bbm or what I’m going to do, F Dm But the very least I’m working on Bb Bbm is becoming less like you. I wanna live life in the fast lane, Away from any guarantee, I’m not planning to stray far away From curiosity. F A I want to travel the world, Dm Bb See every point of view, F A I’m not about to limit myself to a place like this Bb Bbm With anyone like you. I want to live every day, Seek horizons full of blue, I’m done with all the judgement that you send my way, I’m definitely through, C Bb F Through with people like you. “Son, come home for dinner, We miss you very much, Have you been acing all your classes, Drop the gay stuff just a touch.” I’m not about to let you off the hook For threatening to sue, When all we do is live our lives, Despite what that means to you. C I’m sorry that I’m trans, ok, Bb Bbm Now I’ve got better things to do. (Chorus) Bb A Dm I guess I understand that you’re frightened for my sake, Bb A Dm It’s probably not easy to follow the choices that I make, Bb Bbm C G But pushing me away because I choose to not be fake, Gm C I think that might be the worst take!
