Well the [G] kitchen [D] is cold
The [G] coffee [D] is warm
[G] And the [A] sun's coming up
The day's just [G] begun
And you're already [D] bored
[G] You're bored of cheering [D] me up
[G] Bored of [D] calming me down
[G] Bored of [Em] drying [A] my eyes
But there once [G] was a time
When [A] you [D] were the one
[G] You were the blue [D] of the sky
[G] You came after [D] the storm
[G] You were [Em] the [A] switch on the wall
In the dark of [G] the hall
I'm still [D] fumbling for
Cause [G] I'm [D] lost in black
[G] I don't know where [D] I am
[G] I have my arms stretched [A] out in front
And I'm [G] calling your name
Just as [D] loud as I can
And [G]
I [A] know there's words that
We will never [Bm] speak
And [A] the questions [D] can't [Bm] be Answered easily
[A] But I want it to be Easy
[Bm] So nod your head if [E] the plans have [Bm] [A] changed
Shake your love if [D] they [Bm] stay the same
Smile [E] at me in our worst [A] day
Start to cry [D] and I'll go away [E] Just please
Don't [A] leave me guessing
So you [D] made me come
Then [G] you sent [D] me away
[G] Like a [D] messenger bird
[G] So I [A] circled the earth
Blown away in [G] the wind
But I always [D] return
With [G] some new [D] little song
[G] Some sad [D] story to tell
[G] Of a brief [A] love affair
With a girl [Bm] I compare
To you [D] and she failed
[G] You said you don't want me to [D]
beg
[G] And set you [D] down on your [G] knees
Cause you knew [A] that would
If I do any [Bm] good
[D] Satisfy your needs
[G] And I [A] know all about those things we cannot [Bm] speak
And [A] just so you [D] know, well, [Bm] they don't bother [A] me
So you don't have to be
Worried
[Bm] Just nod your head if [E] the plans have [A] changed
Shake your love if [Bm] they stay the same
Smile [Em] at me in our worst day
[A] Start to cry and [D] I'll go away [E] Just please
Don't [A] keep me waiting
[Bm] Just nod your head [E] if your mind's been [Bm] [A] changed
Shake your love [Bm] if some hope remains
Just say a word [E] and of course I'll stay
[A] Roll your eyes [D] and I'll go away
[E] Just please
Don't [A] leave me guessing
Just [Bm] please
Don't [A] keep me waiting
