[Opening]
[Em] [Bm] [C] [C] [D] [Em]
I met you when I [Em]was a teen, but then you [Bm]were one as well
And I could [C]play a guitar, just like ringing a bell
Sometimes I [C]wonder, and any other [D]summer could
You have been my [Em]part time lover, to me listening to Stevie Wonder
Under the covers where we [Bm]used to lay
[C]And “Re: Stacks” is what the speakers play
I’d be on tour almost [D]every day
When I was [Em]home up in my flat is where we used to stay
Just watching the DVD, [Bm]smoking illegal weed
[C]Getting high as two kites when we needed to breathe
We’d use each other’s air [D]just for the people to [Em]see
And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep

[section 2]
We go anywhere, our [Bm]minds would take us
And [C]I’d say you were beautiful without your make-up
And you don’t even need to worry [D]about your weight ’cause
We can [Em]all be loved the way God made us
At times the only reason that [Bm]we could break up
‘Cause [C]you would always tell me I’m away too much
Distance is relative to the [D]time that it takes to get [Em]on a plane
Or make a mistake, so say it again

[chorus]
[Em]Oh [Bm]Nina, you should [C]go [D]Nina
‘Cause I ain’t never coming [C]home
Nina [D]oh, won’t you leave me [Em]now
And I’ve been living on the [Em]road [Bm]Nina
But then again you should [C]know [D]Nina
‘Cause that’s you and me [C]both
Nina [D]oh, won’t you leave me [Em]now, now

[section 3]
And every [Em]weekend in the winter, you’d be [Bm]wearing my hoodie
With [C]drawstrings pulled tight, to keep your face from the cold
Taking day trips to the local, where we’d [D]eat on our own
‘Cause every [Em]day when I was away, we’d only speak on the phone

[section 4]
Watching [Em]Blue Planet, creating [Bm]new habits
Acting as if we was [C]two rabbits, and then you’d vanish
Back to burrow with all of the Celtics, [D]I’d disappear
You’d call me [Em]selfish, I understand, but I can’t help it

[section 5]
I put my [Em]job over everything
Except my [Bm]family and friends
But you’ll be [C]in between forever

[section 6]
So I guess we’ll have to take a step back, overlook the [D]situation
‘Cause mixing business and [Em]feelings will only lead to complications
And I’m not saying we should be taking a [Bm]break
Just re-evaluate [C]quick before, we make a mistake and it’s too late
So we can either to deal with the [D]pain
And wait to get on a [Em]plane, but in a day we’ll have to say it again

[Closing]
[Em]Love will come and [Em]love will go
But [C]you can make it [C]on your own
[Bm]Sing that song, go, [Bm]oh won’t you leave me now
[Em]People grow, and [Em]fall apart
But [C]you can’t mend your [C]broken heart
Bm -tap- Bm -tap- Em -tap- (pause) -tap-
Take it back oh, oh won’t you leave me now

[outro]
[Em] [Bm] [C] [C] [D] [Em]
