[Verse]
Em7               A
Hanging on every word
you speak
D                   Bm7
Gotta remember that talk
is cheap

      Em7
Your mouth writing checks
       A
 that you can't cash
 D
Nah, you don’t mean it
      Bm7
 when you say that
Em7
'Cause you ain't missin
 A
me at all
D                   Bm7
Never there to pick up my call
Em7            A
So I stay lost in my mind
D                 Bm7
Only place you and I
spend time

[Chorus]
         Em7        A
And it's true-ue-ue-ue,
                D       Bm7
 been waiting on you-ou-ou
                Em7
Just to want me back
                    A
Wish you’d give me half of
                  D
 what I have for you

Bm7
Sick of playing the
 Em7        A
foo-oo-oo-ool,
               D        Bm7
 and leaving me blue-ue-ue
           Em7         A
If my over you is overdue,

 why can't I cut you loose?

'Cause you’re like the
          A7
gloaming sky
     D                     Bm7
Somewhere between day and night
     Em7               A
Not leaving me in the dark
          D
Shedding just enough
        Bm7
 light on this heart
   Em7                  A
To keep my love ‘above ground
 D                 Bm7
'Stead of six feet down
     Em7              A
Where I hope it don't go
D              Bm7
That all up to you I suppose
