intro : C/E Fmaj7/C Am G

( in the intro for the C/E , you take you middle finger off for one strum and then put it
right back on . for the Fmaj7/C you do the same . for the Am , you take your middle two
fingers off and then right back on . for the G you take the finger that is on the high G
note and put your first finger on the C note on the B string . this is only for the intro and
whenever it says instrumental!!!! )

C/E Fmaj7/C
i’m standing at your doorway
Am G C/E
my stomach all tangled n tight
Fmaj7/C
have it your way
Am G ( pause ) C/E
oh god , where are you tonight??
Fmaj7/C Am
’cuz i don’t know what i’m doing here
G C/E
or where to begin
Fmaj7/C Am
so take one deep breath
G
but darling , don’t let me in

instrumental C/E Fmaj7/C Am G x2

C/E Fmaj7/C
a thousand times we’ve said
Am G C/E
“i’m sorry it’s over again”
Fmaj7/C
i can’t live like this
Am G C/E
or feel like this in my own skin
Fmaj7/C Am
it all seems so degrading
G C/E ( hold )
and like mourning such sin
Fmaj7/C ( hold ) Am ( hold )
and faith , just like a child
G ( pause )
oh darling , don’t let me in ( whispering )

C/E Fmaj7/C
and we laughed just like children
Am G C/E
in waiting , in sheets on your bed
Fmaj7/C Am
why we secretly pray
G C/E
like we’re mourning the dead
Fmaj7/C Am
and you tell me you’re so weary
G ( pause )
i know
C/E ( hold )
’cuz i’m weary too
Fmaj7/C ( hold ) Am
but hold back a tear
G ( pause )
but darling , what a way to do

( instrumental to outro ) C/E Fmaj7/C Am
G x2

C/E Fmaj7/C
and the wine , and the rain
Am G C/E
and the feel of your skin . . against mine
Fmaj7/C Am G
i’m swimming , i’m flying , i’m dying
C/E Fmaj7/C
this face , this fear
Am ( hold ) G ( hold ) C/E ( hold )
stay with me , oh stay with me my dear
Fmaj7/C ( hold )
this hand
Am ( hold )
this glow
G ( pause )
it’s only thing that i love
