Verse 1:
C majorC
  Someone tell the author
C majorC
What I really think of her
                   FF
'Cause I'm afraid that all my unprecedented thoughts
FF                   C majorC
Won't lead anywhere

Verse 2:
C majorC
I've stood in acquiescence
C majorC
For too long in our friendship
C majorC            FF
I question the expense
FF
Of saying what I've penned
           A minorAm                              G+G
What if my narrative would bring us to the end?


Chorus:
     C majorC
Well, I don't wanna stay here
        DmDm                     A minorAm
I wanna be in your arms by the sea
              FF
Studying your freckles curiously
FF
Focused on your eyes so delicately
C majorC
I just wanna stay outside till 6AM
A minorAm
Even though I hated it then
                    FF
I've only gone and stumbled into a dream
FF                                             C majorC               A minorAm FF
But will I ever be the one that you see while falling asleep?
               C majorC   DmDm A minorAm FF
While falling asleep

C majorC
  Are you caught in self reflection
C majorC                                           FF

Are you afraid of living life in bold?
                A minorAm                             G+G
How else do you plan on emphasising what they wrote?

oh no, oh no, while falling asleep


Bridge:

When unfamiliar faces
