[Opening]
[E]Tell me that you turned down the man
Who asks for [B]your [C#m]hand
‘Cause you’re waiting [A]for [E]me
[E]And I know, you’re gonna be away a while,
But I’ve got [B]no [C#m]plans at all [A]to [E]leave
[section 2]
And would you [B]take away my [A]hopes and dreams
And just [F#m]stay with [A]me [B]
[chorus]
[E]All my senses come to life
While I am [E]stumbling home as drunk as I
Have [C#m]ever been, and I’ll never leave [B]again
‘Cause [A]you are the only [B]one
[E]And all my friends have gone to find
Another [E]place to let their hearts collide
[C#m]Just promise me you’ll always be a [B]friend
[A]’Cause you are the [B]only one
[section 3]
[E]Take my hand and my heart and soul [B]I [C#m]will
Only have these [A]eyes for [E]you, [E]you know everything changes
But we’ll be [B]strangers [C#m]if we see [A]this [E]through.
[section 4]
And you could [B]stay within these [A]walls and bleed
But just [F#m]stay with [A]me [B]
[chorus]
[E]All my senses come to life
While I am [E]stumbling home as drunk as I
Have [C#m]ever been, and I’ll never leave [B]again
‘Cause [A]you are the only [B]one
[E]And all my friends have gone to find
Another [E]place to let their hearts collide
[C#m]Just promise me you’ll always be a [B]friend
[A]’Cause you are the [B]only one
[Closing]
[A]I’m stumbling off [E]drunk, getting myself [B]lost
I am [C#m]so gone, so tell [B]me the way [A]home
I listen to sad [E]songs, singing about [B]love
And where it goes wrong
[chorus]
[C#m] [B] [A] [C#m] [B] [A] [C#m] [B] [A] [E]
[E]All my senses come to life
While I am [E]stumbling home as drunk as I
Have [C#m]ever been, and I’ll never leave [B]again
‘Cause [A]you are the only [B]one
[E]And all my friends have gone to find
Another [E]place to let their hearts collide
[C#m]Just promise me you’ll always be a [B]friend
[A]’Cause you are the [B]only one
