Intro: Em Am B Em D C D Em 
 
Em        Am         B              Em 
It's everything that I can do right now 
 
D      C               D              Em 
To not think about you moving further off with every passing second 
 
Em        Am            B            Em 
And every night of this lonely summertime 
 
  D        C               D                 Em 
I feel you missing from my heart, a part was kidnapped from my soul 
 
C                 D 
Well I can hardly wait until I get the 
 
G                      C              D 
sun and your lips both pressing on my skin 
 
C                 D  
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that  
 
G                       C                  D 
thrill in my heart that starts inside your eyes 
 
      G                    C                D 
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue 
 
      Em     Am Em Am   C   D 
Yes I will, yeah, yeah 
 
      Em 
Yes I will 
 
 
Em           Am           B              Em 
The night is aging as the sun warms your face 
 
D         C               D 
Won't you turn around and stay for good,  
 
    Em                              
the air is getting much too cold I am  
 
Em          Am          B                  Em 
nervous and anxious, it really counts this time  
 
    D        C               D                   Em 
And you know all my favorite singers have stolen all of my best lines 
 
C                 D 
Well I can hardly wait until I get the  
 
G                      C              D 
sun and your lips both pressing on my skin 
 
C                 D 
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that  
 
G                       C                  D 
thrill in my heart that starts inside your eyes 
 
      G                    C                D 
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue 
 
      Em     Am Em Am  C  D 
Yes I will, yeah, yeah 
 
      Em     Am Em Am  C  D 
Yes I will, yeah, yeah 
 
      B 
Yes I will 
 
 
C                      G 
Someday I'll burn this bed 
 
              C                                 G    D C 
Only two feet wide, but where I'll hide for the next 17 days 
 
       G                           Em 
I will ask myself, "How badly do I want this?" 
 
         C          D 
I really want this 
 
 
C                 D 
Well I can hardly wait until I get the  
 
G                      C              D 
sun and your lips both pressing on my skin 
 
C                 D 
Well I can hardly wait until I feel that  
 
G                    C                  D 
thrill my heart that starts inside your eyes 
 
      G                    C                D 
And a song in my head that burns so good on my tongue 
 
      Em     Am Em Am  C  D 
Yes I will, yeah, yeah 
 
      Em     Am Em Am  C  D 
Yes I will, yeah, yeah 
 
      Em 
Yes I will
