With cups upon my ears so I can shut it out

I see you listen to my body and say

And here we are apart, but here together are 
G                 Am     G        Am     G        C 
Our hearts that now beat for each other, although far

I hear your voice and I know what it calls 
C G     C F 
I know, I know

Hold on, hold on 
G      F 
I want you

Hold on, hold on 
G                     F 
All I ever wanted was you
