[D] I've been watching you watching me, a few eyes from way across the room, [Bm] but now that
I'm holding you [B] close I can [Bm] see, ain't no way I'm gonna get around you.
[D] I won't tell you I don't need you tonight, I won't pretend I ain't burning [Bm] inside, your
skin glowing soft in the silver moonlight, the shadows where the promises [G] hide, the bittersweet
taste of your kiss, [Gm] it's something I can't resist.
[D] [Bm] But if you're thinking about breaking [F#] my heart, [F#m]
[D] you might as well just [Bm] pick up your little
black dress [F#m] and go,
[A] [D] [B] somebody's [Bm] already [F#] torn [F#m] apart, and I thought [G] you should know.
[Gm] [D] Maybe this is all that you want, maybe you're just as lonesome as [Bm] me, a shoulder that you
can cry on, a warm safe place you can lay, [D] someone to call in the middle of the night,
and a goose in your bedroom won't [Bm] rest, two arms to hold you tight, I promise that I'll
do my [G] best to give you everything I got to [Gm] give, keep your secrets as long as I [D] live.
