Chorus:
G            F#m  Em               F#m  G
I can't write one song that's not about you
            F#m Em            F#m  G
Can't drink without thinking about you
     F#m  Em            F#m
Is it too late to tell you that

  I'm in Toronto and I got this view
      Em                    Em    F#m
But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah
G                              F#m   Bm
  It doesn't matter 'cause I'm so consumed

Spending all my nights reading texts from you
Pre-Chorus:
G               F#m        Bm
Oh, I'm good at keeping my distance

I know that you're the feeling I'm missing
  G             F#m       Bm

  I'm so sorry that my timing's off
      Em                           Em    F#m
But I can't move on if we're still gonna talk
G                       F#m      Bm
  Is it wrong for me to not want half?
       Em                  Em        F#m
I want all of you, all the strings attached
