Verse 1:
 
A                         E

A 
  Marking the first time  
E      F#m     D 
I laid eyes on you 
A            E        A 
  I lost all train of thought  
                 E 
as I entered the room 
A 
  Saw what looked like really good  
E           F#m         D 
food then I saw you and so did you

naked    next to you 
F#m            E 
   Kissing the curve

in your   clavicle

  Kissing your clavicle

time when I 
     F#m 
felt not enough  
   D 
to talk to you 
A            E        A 
  I lost all train of thought  
                 E 
as your eyes met mine 
A 
  Told you I thought you  
were gorgeous you  
E            F#m 
gave me your phone  
         D 
number I gave you mine 
 
 
Refrain:
 
Bm 
  Before you left I said 
 
that you can bet I'll

be bothering you soon 
You said "No bother please do" 
 
 
Bridge:
 
A 
  I've called you twice 
F#m 
    It's been a hellish fight

to not think about  
you all the time 
Sitting around 
                 A 
waiting for your call, call

   Kissing the curve  
       C#m     D 
in your   clavicle 
A              E A E A E F#m D 
  your clavicle

naked    next to you

       C#m     D  A 
in your   clavicle
