[E] [E] [E] [Am] [C#m]
[E] [D]
[A] [F#m] Oh, it's [E] not easy to resist temptation.
Walking around looking like a big boy with a ton of answers and bad patience.
[D] Taking every word she says just like an open invitation.
But [A] the power of persuasion, there's no match [F#m] for anticipation.
[E] Like a finger [F#] running down [A] a ship, [E]
from a whisper [F#] to a scream.
[A] [E]
[D] So I whisper and [A] I scream, but [E] don't get me wrong, [D]
please [A] don't leave me [B] waiting too long.
[Bm] Waiting too long, [F#m] waiting too long, [F] waiting too long, [E] hey!
Oh oh oh oh a little bit cursed to look like it.
But I'll keep a fear, to then keep on drinking.
But I'll just scream.
I [Am] heard [D] someone say, where have you been before?
[F#m] With the one over the edge, seems less like one or more like four.
Like [E] a finger, [F#] running down [A] the sin
[E] From a whisper [D#m] to a scream
[A] [E] So [D] I whisper and [A] I scream
But [E] don't get me wrong
[D] Please [A] don't leave me
[B] Waiting too [Bm] [F#m] [F]
[B] [Bm] [F#m] [F]
[Bm] [F#m] [F] long [E] Hey!
Oh oh oh oh
