C G Em D
I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night
C G Em D
Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife

And if it was an open-shut case
Em D/F#
I never would've known from that look on your face
C G Em D/F#
Lost in your current like a priceless wine
πΈ Pre-Chorus:
C G
The more that you say
Em
The less I know
D
Wherever you stray
C
I follow
G Em
I'm begging for you to take my hand
D
Wreck my plans, that's my man

C G Em D
That's my man
C G Em D
πΈ Verse 2:
C G Em D
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind (oh)
C G Em D
Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in

Like you were a trophy or a champion ring
C G Em D
And there was one prize I'd cheat to win

C G
The more that you say
Em
The less I know

Wherever you stray

I follow
G Em
I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

You know that my train could take you home

Anywhere else is hollow

I'm begging for you to take my hand

Wreck my plans, that's my man

C G Em D
That's my man

C G Em D
Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind (oh)
C D Em D
They count me out time and time again

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind (oh)
C G N.C.
But I come back stronger than a 90's trend
πΈ Verse 3:

Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark
C G Em D
Show me the places where the others gave you scars

Now this is an open-shut case

Every bait and switch was a work of art

The more that you say
