G                        Em 
You know that I haven't gone to bed yet

Berkeley's been breathing since first time we met 
G                    Em 
I'm wide awake I'm a sure bet 

Em G Em 
               G 
Back seats and salt stings 
    C             D 
The air crisp and breezy 
Em       G 
Card key hotel room 
    C             D 
Boy I'm just that easy

If you want in there's no need for a knock 
G                          Em 
We keep our doors at night unlocked 
G                      Em 
Tiptap the glass cigarette and small talk 
G                          Em 
We keep our doors at night unlocked

Rain poured my heart tore 
    C          D 
But you didn't mind much 
Em              G 
A red face from hot days 
    C             D 
And built up lust blood rush 
   Em          G             C 
Oh if you want in there's no need for a knock

        G      C      D 
Lesson, lesson learned 
Em                 G           C D 
You'll just sit my fingertips get burned 
Em         G          C         D 
Open flame windowsill all night long 
Em              G          C    D 
Take what's left of my best unfinished song 
Em   G       C 
My unfinished song 

Song my song oh oh oh (not sure of these chords, sorry)

You know that I haven't gone to bed yet 
G                      Em 
Just call me up I'm a sure bet 
G                        Em 
Berkeleys been breathing since first time we met 
G                       Em 
I'm wide awake I'm your best bet
