capo at 2nd fret :
C Fthe kitchen is cold
C Fbut the coffee is warm
G and the sun’s coming up
Fthe day has just begun
C Fand you’re already bored .
C Fbored of cheering me up
C Fbored of calming me down
Gbored of drying my eyes
Fbut there once was a time
C Fwhen you were the one .
C Fyou were the blue of the sky
C Fyou came after the storm
Gyou were the switch on the wall
Fin the dark of the hall
C Fi’m still fumbling for
C Fcause i’m lost in the black
C Fi don’t know where i
Am .
Garms stretched out in front
Fi’m calling your name
C Fjust as loud as i can
G Ami know there’s words that we will never speak
G Am Gand the questions can’t be answered easily
Gbut i wanted to be easy so
Am D . . . nod your head if the plans have changed
G C . . . shake it , love , they stayed the same
Am D . . . smile at me and i will stay
G C . . . start to cry and i’ll go away
D Gjust please don’t leave me guessing .
C Fso you made me come
C Fthen you sent me away
C Flike a messenger bird
Gso i circled the earth
Fblown away in the wind
C Fbut i always returned
C Fwith some new little song
C Fsome sad story to tell
Gof a brief love affair
Fwith a girl i compared
C Fto you and she failed
C Fyou said you don’t want me to beg
C Fthen you said get down on your knees
Gcause you knew that i would
Fif i do any good
C Fsatisfying your needs .
G Amand i know all about those things we cannot speak
G Am Gand just so you know well they don’t bother me
Gso you don’t have to be worried , just
Am D . . . nod your head if the plans have changed
G C . . . shake it , love , if they stayed the same
Am D . . . smile at me and i will stay
G C . . . start to cry and i’ll go away
D Gjust please don’t keep me waiting
Am Djust . . . nod your head if your mind’s been changed
G C . . . shake it , love , if some hope remains
Am Djust . . . say the word and of course i’ll stay
G C . . . roll your eyes and i’ll go away
D Gjust please don’t leave me guessing .
Am Gjust please don’t keep me waiting
