 Oh-oh-oh-oh,
       D      Em D
 oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
C      G
 Oh-oh-oh-oh,
        D  Em D

[Verse 1]
C             G
 I'm sitting, eyes wide open,
               D
behind these four walls, hoping
    Em  D
 you'd call
C            G
 It's just a cruel existence,
          D                  Em D
like it's no point hoping at all

[Pre-Chorus 1]
C           G             D
 Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up
            Em            D
all night, all night and every
 day
C                G
 Gimme something, but you
just say nothing
D                     Em
 What is happening to me?

[Chorus 1]
D             C        G
I don't wanna live forever
       D
'Cause I know I'll be living
   Em
in vain
D             C        G
I don't wanna fit wherever
  D
I just wanna keep calling
       Em
 your name
          D         C
Until you come back home
      G            D      Em
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
          D         C
Until you come back home
      G            D  Em D
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
C                  Em
 Our secret moments, in
 a crowded room
D                 G
 They got no idea, about
  G/F#
 me and you
C                      Em
 There's an indentation in
the shape of you
D                     G
 Made your mark on me, a
        G/F#
 golden tattoo
