Intro: E G Am 


Verse 
Am                   Dm 
  As I'm wathcing your silhouette 
F                        E            E7 
  I see you clearly jump down off the step 
Am 
  The twinkling in your eyes 
           Dm 
  Makes me wonder if I'm dead or alive 
      F    E     E7 
  And I, I just wait 


Pre-Chorus 
Dm7 
  How many clues do you need me to leave you? 
Em7 
  I feel like I leave 'em all the time 
Dm7 
  Spending days together, I just 
        E                             E7 
  Can't help wondering when you'll be mine 


 
           Am7       Em7         Dm7 
If I could hold your hand, yes I would 
            Am7   Em7       Dm7 
Be with you every day, if I could 
       Am7      Em7               Dm7 
But my lips are sealed, like they should 
    F                              F E 
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock 
    Dm7 
I'm waiting 


Verse 
Am                      Dm 
  Behind my smile lies uncertainty 
         F                       E     E7 
  If you choose a girl, will she be me? 
Am 
  I try to keep my composure today 
       Dm 
  If I wish too hard, though you might wish away 
     F    E     E7 
  So I, I just wait 


Pre-Chorus 
Dm7 
  How many clues do you need me to leave you? 
Em7 
  I feel like I leave 'em all the time 
Dm7 
  Spending days together, I just 
        E                             E7 
  Can't help wondering when you'll be mine 

 
           Am7       Em7         Dm7 
If I could hold your hand, yes I would 
            Am7   Em7       Dm7 
Be with you every day, if I could 
       Am7      Em7               Dm7 
But my lips are sealed, like they should 
    F                              F E 
But tick tock, tick tock, tick tock 
    Dm7 
I'm waiting 

Bridge 
         Dm      Bm7-5 
I had my face in shadows 
       C                E 
So you won't disturb my dreams 
          Dm         Bm7-5 
I look on you from a far point 
      F             E 
We're beautiful, it seems 

      Am            Bm7-5 
But I inch a little closer 
           C             A/C# 
And that's all I want to take 
       Dm 
You disintegrate before me 
          E                E7 
And from my lovely sleep I wake 

 
           Am7       Em7         Dm7 
If I could hold your hand, yes I would 
            Am7   Em7       Dm7 
Be with you every day, if I could 
       Am7      Em7               Dm7 
But my lips are sealed, like they should 
       F           F      E         Dm7 
'Cause time, time, time is ticking away 


Coda 
           Am7       Em7         Dm7 
If I could hold your hand, yes I would 
            Am7   Em7       Dm7 
Be with you every day, if I could 
       Am7      Em7               Dm7 
But my lips are sealed, like they should
