VERSE 
G    D/F# 
A warning sign, 
A   E         G    D/F# 
    I missed the good part, then I realised, 
A   E         G      D/F#  
    I started looking and the bubble burst, 
A   E    G   D/F# 
    I started looking for excuses, 
A   E G      D/F# 
  Come on in, 
A    E      G       D/F# 
    I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in, 
A    E            G       D/F# 
    I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones, 
A    E       G      D/F# 
   That I started looking for a warning sign 
 
A  E(Hold) 
 
Chorus 
    D       F#m     A E 
When the truth is,  I miss you, 
    D       F#m  A E 
Yeah the truth is,  that I miss you so 
 
A warning sign, 
It came back to haunt me, and I realised, 
That you were an island and I passed you by, 
And you were an island to discover 
Come on in, 
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in, 
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones, 
That I started looking for a warning sign 
 
 
When the truth is, I miss you, 
Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so 
 
 
And I'm tired, I should not have let you go, 
Oooooooo, 
 
So I crawl back into your open arms, 
Yes I crawl back into your open arms, 
And I crawl back into your open arms, 
Yes I crawl back into your open arms.
