Verse 1:
E
Here we lay again
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
A
You hear a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from
E
memoriues
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
A
And missing each other too
E
Much to vow to let go
Refrain 1:
F#m
We turn our music down
A
And we whisper
F#m
"Say what you're
A
thinking right now"
