Verse 1:
Am                        G                     Dm
  I've been thinking about you a lot more than I    should
D Em Am                               G
          I've caught my finger slipping up the same page
Dm               D      Em
    Of my telephone    book
                     Am         G
But just hear me out
or let me in
                 Dm                   D      Em
Signing the guest    list, places we've    been
    Am
I'm hoping with a soft spot
     G                               Dm    D   Em
That there's a chance of bumping into    you

Chorus:
Am                            C
  Tell me what does your heart say
                    Dm
Would you listen anyway?
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
                         C                      Dm
Tell me what have you got when you gave it all away
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober

G Dm  D


Verse 2:
Am                        G                      Dm
  Still mingling with bouncers, unhappy where I'm    stood
D   Em Am                         G
          Feeling like I miss the way you kiss me
Dm                        D         Em
    Mimic your lips with a sharp left hook
                 Am            G
So I look to her
took on the chin
               Dm                D    Em
Blood on a jumper, tuck your shirt    in
Am                            G                           Dm   D   Em
Hopefully don't need you, but comfort in pretending that I    do


Chorus:
Am                            C
  Tell me what does your heart say
                    Dm
Would you listen anyway?
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
                         C                      Dm
Tell me what have you got when you gave it all away
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober


Post-Chorus:
            C                Dm F E Am
And you know just what to say
             C                    Dm F E
That the phone call's not the same


Bridge:
C Caug C6 C7 C Caug C6 C7
C Caug C6 C7
                    C       Caug
So just hear me out, or let me  in
               C6             C7
I miss the hangnails, pits of your skin
             C              Caug
Those eyes of hers, looking at  him
               C6               C7
I think a punch  would hurt less  than this
F
Bathed under an ocean, of turgid hotel lights
    G
The gasping of attention, the rolling of your eyes
C              Caug
Oh, don't make me  go
          C6
I could be  so much better
      C7
Could be what you want
F
Cold pillows of steel pressed before my tongue
      G
Would love if it were your lips
Would settle for a gun


Chorus:
Am                            C
  Tell me what does your heart say
                    Dm
Would you listen anyway?
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
                         C                      Dm
Tell me what have you got when you gave it all away
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
                            C
Tell me what does your heart say
                    Dm
Would you listen anyway?
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
                           C
When the evenings run it's course
                        Dm
Is always end up at your  door
     F              E        Am
I'll look good when I'm sober
                            C
Tell me what does your heart say
                    Dm
Would you listen anyway?
                   F              E        Am
I promise you I'll look good when I'm sober
                           C
When the evenings run it's course
                        Dm
Is always end up at your  door
