              Intro: C D G C D G C     
 
C                        D 
If it's all the same to you 
G                          C 
Could I fall asleep next to you 
C                             D 
I've been waiting to hear you breathe 
 Am                     C 
'Cause without it I can't sleep 
 
C                   D 
With your hands all through my hair 
G                        C 
You're holding onto all the air 
C            Em       D 
Judging from how we've been 
G                           C    G   Am 
You should kiss me like you mean it again 
  Am                          C 
'Cause I don't wanna be your friend 
 
G 
Call me pretty young thing 
C                      Em 
Make me weak until I'm speechless 
Em           C 
Falling into you 
G                       C 
Hear my mad machine gun heartbeat 
C              Em 
Pounding right beside you 
Em        C 
Giving me away 
Em       C 
Giving me away 
 
C                          D 
Did you know that when you laugh 
G                   C 
It tears my heart in half 
C                      D 
When I feel you look my way 
G                  C 
I keep feeling you all day 
C                   D 
God gave to me with just one hand 
D   G                   C 
But he gave to you with all he had 
C                         D 
And when our feet are intertwined 
G                   C      G    Am 
I feel your blood in mine, feed those veins  
Am                   C 
Oh, how I want you to stay 
 
G 
Call me pretty young thing 
C                      Em 
Make me weak until I'm speechless 
Em           C 
Falling into you 
G                       C 
Hear my mad machine gun heartbeat 
C              Em 
Pounding right beside you 
Em        C 
Giving me away 
Em        C 
Giving me away 
 
 
 
Em G                      C 
   What was I supposed to do? 
Em G                          C 
   Laying right there next to you 
Em G                     C 
   What am I supposed to do? 
G    Am   C 
With you, with you? 
 
 
G 
Call me pretty young thing 
C                      Em 
Make me weak until I'm speechless 
Em           C                 
Falling into you 
G                       C 
Hear my mad machine gun heartbeat 
C              Em 
Pounding right beside you 
Em        C 
Giving me away 
Em        C 
Giving me away
