[Amaj7] Well, you're [A]just across the [Amaj7]street,
Looks a [A]mile to my [Amaj7]feet;
[A]I wanna go to [Esus]you.[E]
[Amaj7] Funny [A]how I'm nervous [Amaj7]still,
I've [A]always been the[Amaj7] easy kill,
[A] I guess I always [Esus]will.[E]

[E](Chance)
Or only [F#m]one way that it was [D]always meant to [A]be?
[E](Be)
You kill me, you [F#m]always know the [D]perfect thing [A]to say,
Hey [E]hey, hey [F#m]hey,
I know what I [D]should do, but I [A]just can't walk[E] [Amaj7]away.

[Amaj7] I pick [A]up, put down the [Amaj7]phone,
Like your[A] favorite [Amaj7]heatmiser song goes;

So go on; [A]love,
Leave while there's [E]still hope for escape,
Gotta take what you [F#m]can these days...[D]
There's so much [A]ahead, and so much [E]regret.
I know what you [A]wanna say,
I know, but I [E]can't help feeling differently;
I [F#m]loved you, and I [D]should have said it,
But [A]tell me just what has it ever meant.
Chorus 3
I can't[F#m] help it, baby, [D]this is who I [A]am

I'm sorry (sorry) [F#m]but I can't just go turn[D] off how I [A]feel
[E](feel)
You kill me, [F#m]you build me up, but [D]just to watch me [A]break,
[E]Hey hey, hey [F#m]hey,
I know what I [D]should do, but I [A]just can't [E]walk [F#m]away.
