[Em] Have you got colour in your [C]c[Am]heeks?
[Am] Do you ever get the fear that you can’t [Em]shift the type
That sticks around like [Em]summat in your teeth?
Are there some [C]aces up your [Am]sleeve?


Have you no idea that you’re in [Em]deep?
I dreamt about you nearly [Em]every night this week
How many [C]secrets can [Am]you keep?
‘Cause there’s this tune I found [Em]that makes me think of you somehow
And I [Em]play it on repeat, [C] until I [Am]fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my [B]settee


Do I [C]wanna know, if this [Am]feeling flows both ways?
Sad to [Em]see you go, was sorta [Em]hoping that you’d stay
Baby [C]we both know, that the [Am]nights were mainly made
For saying [Em]things that you can’t say tomorrow [Em]day


Crawlin’ back to [Em]you
Ever thought of [C]calling [Am]when you’ve had a few
‘Cause I always [Em]do, maybe I’m [Em]too busy being [C]
Yours to [Am]fall for somebody new, now I’ve thought it [Em]through
Crawlin’ back to [Em]you


So have you got the [C][Am]guts?
Been wondering if your hearts still [Em]open
And if so I wanna [Em]know what time it shuts
[C] Simmer down [Am]and pucker up


I’m sorry to interrupt, it’s [Em]just I’m constantly on the cusp
Of trying to [C]kiss you [Am]I don’t know if you feel the [Em]same as I do
But we could [C]be [Am]together, if you wanted [B]to


Do I [C]wanna know, if this [Am]feeling flows both ways?
Sad to [Em]see you go, was sorta [Em]hoping that you’d stay
Baby [C]we both know, that the [Am]nights were mainly made
For saying [Em]things that you, can’t say tomorrow [Em]day


Crawlin’ back to [Em]you
Ever thought of [C]calling [Am]when you’ve had a few
‘Cause I always [Em]do, maybe I’m [Em]too busy being [C]
Yours to [Am]fall for somebody new, now I’ve thought it [Em]through
Crawlin’ back to [Em]you


Do I [C]wanna know, if this [Am]feeling flows both ways?
Sad to [Em]see you go, was sorta [Em]hoping that you’d stay
Baby [C]we both know, that the [Am]nights were mainly made
For saying [Em]things that you, can’t say tomorrow [Em]day


Do I [C]wanna know, too busy being [Am]yours to fall
Sad to [Em]see you go, ever thought of [D]calling darling?
Do I [C]wanna know, do you want me [Am]crawling back [Em]to you?
