F Dm
You were a long time coming back
F Dm
From the bar where we were sat

Who drown their sorrows in the smoking room
F Dm
Fuck around now
F Dm
Jump about town

And I won't miss a single beat

In case you're looking for me

We all lose our grip tonight

Tonight
Chorus:
BbM7
And it's in my head
Dm C
That every seventeen seconds, when I look back
Am BbM7 Dm C
You are talking with him and I can hardly breathe right

'Cause I cannot find you
BbM7
For the life of me
Dm C
Please give me something
Am BbM7
So I can sleep tonight

So I can sleep

Your feet are dry and the walls are wet

Em F
And give me just a minute

'Cause tonight I let go
