INTRO
Em C X2
VERSE 1
Em C
To say the things I want to say to you would be a crime
Em C
To admit Im still in love with you after all this time
D Em
Id rather let you touch my arm until you die
D C
Seduce with me with your charms until Im drunk on them
Em
Go home and drink in bed
D C
And never let myself be in love like that again
Em C

Light a cigarette and think of you and walk away

replays a distant love that plays my records on

VERSE 3
Em C
To say the words I want to say to you would be a lie

The things Ill never say to you again and you know why
Em
