          G5               B5           C5
There's a sign that says, "Keep off the grass"
                      G5
But I wanna cross the line
       B5               C5
Got my face against the glass
                     Bm
And I want to come inside
                          C
So tell me everything you know
           Bm                                C
You're the closest thing to normal that I'll ever let go

So don't stand so close to me now
                            G5
Or you'll see through the veneer
        B5                C5
I could not keep my mouth shut
                          Bm
Does this tattoo make you weird?
                                   C
It says, "There's nothing that you owe"
               Bm                         C
It's just that lately I feel like I never want to Go home
