[Intro]
Dm Em Dm Em
 
[Chorus]
           Dm                   Em
I'm going back to 505 If it's a 7 hour flight
         Dm
Or a forty-five minute drive
   Em                             Dm
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side
           Em                       Dm Em
With your hands between your thighs
 
[Verse 1]
Dm                           Em
Stop and wait a sec when you look at me like that
           Dm                     Em
My darling what did you expect? I probably still adore you
          Dm                         Em
With your hands around my neck or I did last time I checked
 
[Instrumental]
Dm Em
 
[Verse 2]
    Dm
I'm not shy of a spark 
    Em                                        Dm
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Em                                    Dm
Frightened by the bite though it's no harsher than the bark
     Em                          Dm                      Em
The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start
 
[Chorus]
           Dm                   Em
I'm going back to 505 If it's a 7 hour flight
         Dm
Or a forty-five minute drive
   Em                             Dm
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side
           Em                       Dm Em
With your hands between your thighs
 
[Interlude]
Dm Em Dm Em x2
 
[Verse 3] (Faster strumming)
                  Dm*
But I crumble completely when you cry
    Em*                                 Dm*
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
     Em*                        Dm*
I'm always just about to go and spoil the surprise
         Em*                           Dm*   Em*
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon
 
[Chorus]
           Dm*                  Em*
I'm going back to 505 If it's a 7 hour flight
     Dm*                Em*                            Dm*
Or a 45 minute drive In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side
           Em*                             Dm*     Em*
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
 
[Solo]
Dm* Em* Dm* Em* x2

And if you look at the chord diagrams at the start of the song, it tells you that those are the chords you're supposed to play. It's just UG saying it should be the open chords.
