Friend, old friend, it's 4:00am

What are we doing in the street?

I wish that I was going to sleep

And I don't want to kiss you
FF C majorC
Underneath that flashing sign

What's the hurry? We're not ready
FF
We've got plenty of time

Maybe you will get married
Maybe fall in love

Could you make me fall asleep
When you're holding me?

There's someone else but I twist all of
FF C majorC
His words and he twists mine
C majorC
So I'll have to let him go
FF C majorC
We sometimes fit, but we always lie
C majorC
And he thinks we could make it work
FF C majorC
But only when he's drunk
A minorAm
You think you could help me swim
FF
But I've already sunk
Chorus:
C majorC
So maybe you'll get married
Maybe fall in love
FF
'Cause you can't fall asleep
When you're not holding me

Go get set on fire

Go get set on fire
C majorC
Go get set on...

And maybe one day we'll get married
Maybe fall in love
