Intro: C      F      C      F 


verse 1 
Am                             F 
You're just a stones throw for me, 
                                C 
But throwing stones could never be, 
                   G          
The perfect way to start. 
Am                                F 
Coz sticks and stones make broken bones, 
                        C 
Empty words make broken homes, 
                             G           
But it's love that broke our hearts. 


Chorus 1 
Dm                          C    G       
And if I knew what you were thinking, 
Dm                          C   G 
I would stop this boat from sinking, 
Dm          F                C 
But darling you are like the sand, 
           G                   Dm  
And you're slipping through my hands, 
       F                      C 
I just don't know what you're thinking.

verse 2 
Am                       F 
You're just a photo in a drawer, 
                             C 
But photographs are not much more, 
                        G 
Than ghosts we can't forget. 
Am                         F 
You're just a red rag to a bull, 
                        C 
Just a false hope for a fool, 
                           G 
But it's as close as I can get.  


Dm                          C    G 
And if I knew what you were thinking, 
Dm                          C   G 
I would stop this boat from sinking, 
Dm          F                C 
But darling you are like the sun, 
        G               Dm 
Setting when my evening comes, 
       F                      C 
I just don't know what you're thinking.  


Bridge 
F                             Am 
And I would stop the sky from falling, 
     C 
If I knew, 
     G 
If I knew, 
Dm                         Am 
And I would love you every morning, 
     C 
If I knew, 
     G 
If I knew.  


Strum these chords once 
Dm                          C   G 
And if I knew what you were thinking, 
Dm                          C   G 
I would stop this boat from sinking, 
Back to normal strumming pattern 
Dm          F                C 
But darling you are like the stars, 
       G                  Dm  
I know I can't reach that far, 
       F                    C 
I just don't know what your thinking.
