verse 1
F C
"Close the door," he says
Am
"This'll only be a minute"
G
But sometimes minutes can get caught in suspension
F C
I finally figured it out
Am
And you're that someone who knows a little more
G
Than something about me
F C
He says, "I met this girl out in Palm Springs
Am G
Man, she's the best! You'd be so happy for me!"
F C
And it hits me hard
Am
Seeing this blue-eyed dream sprouting wings
G F
And flying away from me
C Am G
Flying away from me, yeah
Chorus
F C
What if I say you love me?
Am G
Could I make it true?
F C
We could build us something
Am G
That would mean something to you
F C
'Cause when I close my eyes
Am
I'm in this world where you don't have a girl
G
And I'm right by your side
F C
Say you love me
Am G F
It don't mean that I'll ever have you
C Am G
Ohhhhh no
verse 2
F C
So we're driving home
Am
I look out at the rain on the roads out my
G
Passenger window
F C
It's been one of those nights
Am
It all feels so alive
G
Man, you bet, I'm gonna to hate saying goodbye
F C
He pulls up on my driveway
Am
Says, "See you on Friday"
G
If he only knew what I'd do to be
F
The rain on his coat
C
Those keys that he holds
D G
Or the one he has waiting back home
Chorus
F C
What if I say you love me?
Am G
Could I make it true?
F C
We could build us something
Am G
That would mean something to you
F C
'Cause when I close my eyes
Am
I'm in this world where you don't have a girl
G
And I'm right by your side
F C
Say you love me
Am G F
It don't mean that I'll ever have you
Bridge
C
I'm not gonna lie
G Am
A stubborn part of me keeps the hope alive
Bb F C
That someday I'll be yours and you'll be mine
C/B F
And I know you'll never understand
G G#5 Am
So to keep from losing my best friend
Bb F G
I hold it all inside
