do  Boy could he talk

what to say Moving

up is moving on
               B   F#
from where you came

That you've got
F#/Bb  B
better ways to
C#m        Eb
waste your time
time time

Verse 2:
F#               B
  Say this isn't real
Say this was a joke
Say there's still
space for me in bed
Cause I can't live
 E   F#           B
alone  Oh pitiful me
        E  F#
I'll do anything you
G#m
say I'd soon as

suffocate with you
           B  F#
than stay away
 
 
Refrain 2:
    G#m    F#/Bb
And I knew all
     B      C#m
this years ago
    Ebm
But couldn't
B        G#m
take the hint
    Eb
You match my
G#m F#/Bb
overcompensation
C#m       Eb
With your own
ambivalence
 
 
(Repeat Chorus 2)

home So what would
          F#
make you stay I'll
