I'll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight
                 Bbm                    Bbm7
Noses on a rail, little virgin wears the white
Eb7                                              Ab
You cut your hair but you used to live a blonded life
                                                 Fm      Fm7
Wish I was there, wish we'd grown up on the same advice
Fm7                     Bm
And our time was right
 
[Chorus]
Bbm7                Eb7
Keep a place for me, for me
Eb7
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing

It's nothing, it's nothing

Keep a place for me, for me
 
[Bridge]
Bbm7
Now and then you miss it, sounds make you cry
Eb7
Some nights you dance with tears in your eyes
Ab                          Fm
I came to visit, 'cause you see me like a UFO
            Bbm             Eb7
That's like never, 'cause I made you use your self-control
Ab                              Fm
And you made me lose my self-control, my self-control
 
[Chorus]
Bbm7
Keep a place for me, for me
Eb7
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing

Keep a place for me

It's nothing, it's nothing
