Bm C
I dot my t's and cross my i's
Pretend that I can write

anyone except the one
Who caught me staring
G D/F# Em C
so I just walked away

No one likes to give
Em
themselves over

to an empty bed
If you're gonna
G
sleep like that
Am
Then you might
C
as well be dead
D
But you still want
Em
all the covers
And no hair
C
tickling your face
You're so proud
G
of your physique
Am
But you still
C
want your cake
D
I got it
