[D]Wait, do you [Em]see, my [Bm]heart on my [G]sleeve?
It’s been there, for [D]days on end and
It’s [Em]been waiting for you, [Bm]to open up
[G]Just you baby, come on [D]now
I’m [Em]trying to tell you just [Bm]how
I’d [G]like to hear the words
[D]Roll out of your [Em]mouth finally
[Bm]Say that it’s [G]always been me


[D]That’s made you feel [Em]a way, [Bm]you’ve never felt [G]before
And I’m [D]all you [Em]need, and that you [Bm]never want [G]more
Then [D]you’d say [Em]all


Of the right things, [Bm]without a [G]clue.
[D]But you’d save, the [Em]best for last.
Like [Bm]I’m the one for [G]you.


You should [D]know.
That you’re [Em]just a [Bm]temporary [G]fix.
This is not [D]rooted with [Em]you.
It don’t [Bm]mean that much to [G]me.
You’re just a [D]filler in the [Em]space.
That [Bm]happened to be [G]free.
How [D]dare you think, you’d [Em]get away.
With [Bm]trying to play [G]me.


[D] [Em] [Bm] [G]
[D]Why is it [Em]every time, I [Bm]think I’ve [G]tried my hardest.
It [D]turns out it [Em]ain’t enough, ’cause you’re [Bm]still.
Not mentioning [G]love, what am [D]I [Em]supposed to [Bm]do.
To make you [G]want me properly? I’m [D]taking these [Em]chances.
And [Bm]getting [G]away, and though I’m [D]trying.
My [Em]hardest you [Bm]go back to [G]her, and I [D]think that I [Em]know.
Things [Bm]may never [G]change, I’m still [D]hoping one [Em]day.
I might [Bm]hear you [G]say.


I make you [D]feel a [Em]way, you’ve [Bm]never felt [G]before.
And I’m [D]all you [Em]need, and that you [Bm]never want [G]more.
Then [D]you’d say [Em]all, of the right things.
[Bm]Without a [G]clue, but you’d [D]save.
The [Em]best for last, like [Bm]I’m the one for [G]you.


You should [D]know.
That you’re [Em]just a [Bm]temporary [G]fix.
This is not [D]rooted with [Em]you.
It don’t [Bm]mean that much to [G]me.
You’re just a [D]filler in the [Em]space.
That [Bm]happened to be [G]free.
How [D]dare you think, you’d [Em]get away.
With [Bm]trying to play [G]me.


[D]But, [Em]despite, the truth that I [Bm]know.
I [G]find it hard to let go [D]and give up [Em]on you.
[Bm]Seems I love the [G]things you do.
Like the [D]meaner you [Em]treat me.
The more [Bm]eager I [G]am, to [D]persist.
With this [Em]heartbreak, and [Bm]running [G]around.
And I [D]think that I [Em]know, things [Bm]may never [G]change.
I’m still [D]hoping one [Em]day, I might [Bm]hear you [G]say.


I make you [D]feel a [Em]way, you’ve [Bm]never felt [G]before.
And I’m [D]all you [Em]need, and that you [Bm]never want [G]more.
And [D]we’ll say [Em]all, of the right things.
[Bm]Without a [G]clue, [D]and you’ll be the [Em]one for me.
And [Bm]me the one for [G]you.
