🎸 Verse 1:

Bm   E        A
Tell me on the phone
F#m            Bm        E
You know where my heart's gone
     A      F#m
Why I'm so withdrawn
Bm   E        A     F#m
Every word is more obscure
   Bm         E     A
To my heart's song
                 F#m
And I can't hold on
Bm  E  A  F#m
(Ah)

Yesterday I wrote a little tune
A                 Amaj7            D
I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used
    A          Amaj7               D
I'm sorry but it's been weighing on me
A         F#m        Dmaj7
Oh
I can't lie when I sing
A        F#m          Dmaj7
No
I can't lie when I sing

🎸 Post-Chorus:

   Bm
My dear
      Bm6       Dmaj7    A
There's nothing left in here
          Bm
So just hold on
         Bm           E
But don't hold on to me

G Em A D Dmaj7

🎸 Bridge:

G
Tried my best this time
             Em
To keep your hand in mine
         A
But it's written now
                        D    Dmaj7
And I'm ripping out the page
        G
And you fantasize
     Em
Of chasing lights
        A
But you won't get far
                        D  Dmaj7
With half your heart at sea
               G
And New York's callin'
        Em
For you darling
    A
So pack your bags
                   D    Dmaj7
Don't throw it all away
             G
You know I'm fallin
         Em
From you darling
    A
And I'm afraid
                        D  Dmaj      G Em A D Dmaj7
There's no more room to stay  to stay

                                      G Em A D Dmaj7
I'm afraid there's nothing left to say

D        Dmaj7         G
I still wait for you to call
         Em                                       A
Though I told you that we shouldn't speak outside normal protocol
D              Dmaj7       Gmaj7
How could you give me your all?
Em                           A7
Why should you wait for me at all?

🎸 Chorus 2:

       D           Dmaj7          G
'Cause yesterday I wrote a little tune
D                 Dmaj7            G
I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used
    D                   Dmaj7       G
I'm sorry but it's been weighing on me
 D  Bm               G
Oh
I can't lie when I sing
D        Bm     G
No
I can't lie
