names for the chords are : ( ) , listen to the record to get
the strumming pattern as it’s kind of hard to explain on here . any corrections would be
appreciated! : )

on the drive back here , i was worried over nothing .
on the drive back there , tears spilling over something
when i imagined you
body next to another

in the door , over there , build yourself a fright ( ? )
in the door , can i hear you saying you don’t want to fight ( ? )

when i imagine you
body next to another

pre – chorus

stop crying to the ocean
stop worrying over me
stop worrying over nothing
stop worrying over me

’well , i know what i want ,
and what i want’s right here with you’

verse 3

in a flashback , you just brought attention to the mess
in a flash , hear you talk , begging me to understand ( ? )
if i imagine you
body next to another

you drop in for a minute
and i’m sorry that i didn’t
drop in sooner just to see you , and see what you’ve been doing .
if i imagine you
body next to another

chorus

so , it’s been so long since you’ve said ,
’well , i know what i want ,
and what i want’s right here with you’

it’s been so long since you said ,
’well , i know what i want ,
and what i want’s right here with you’

it’s been so long since you’ve said ,
’well , i know what i want ,
and what i want’s right here with you’

it’s been so long since you said ,
’well , i know what i want ,
and what i want’s right here with you’
