Intro: C F C F
verse 1
Am F
You're just a stones throw for me,
C
But throwing stones could never be,
G
The perfect way to start.
Am F
Coz sticks and stones make broken bones,
C
Empty words make broken homes,
G
But it's love that broke our hearts.
Chorus 1
Dm C G
And if I knew what you were thinking,
Dm C G
I would stop this boat from sinking,
Dm F C
But darling you are like the sand,
G Dm
And you're slipping through my hands,
F C
I just don't know what you're thinking.

verse 2
Am F
You're just a photo in a drawer,
C
But photographs are not much more,
G
Than ghosts we can't forget.
Am F
You're just a red rag to a bull,
C
Just a false hope for a fool,
G
But it's as close as I can get.
Dm C G
And if I knew what you were thinking,
Dm C G
I would stop this boat from sinking,
Dm F C
But darling you are like the sun,
G Dm
Setting when my evening comes,
F C
I just don't know what you're thinking.
Bridge
F Am
And I would stop the sky from falling,
C
If I knew,
G
If I knew,
Dm Am
And I would love you every morning,
C
If I knew,
G
If I knew.

And if I knew what you were thinking,

But darling you are like the stars,

I just don't know what your thinking.
