I was just DthinkiBmngBm/G  
that AI have been Dmissing you for Bmway too Bm/Glong
There's Asomething inEm7side this weary D/F#head that wants us to G/Dlove just inAstead
But I was just thDinking,Bm  Bm/G

[Verse 1]
I've got loads oDf pictuBmresBm/G  
I've gAot the one oDf you in thaBmt dancing Bm/Gdress
But maAn I feel siEm7lly in that dim lD/F#ight just after G/Ddoing you by the Bmsight of
My KA7odak delights

[Chorus]

If I wEm7ait for you longer my D/F#affection is stronger
G/DI, I was just Bmthinking and thinking, merely thinEm7king
That this boA7at is sinking
[Verse 2]
Yeah I'm tired of postcards 
Especially the ones with cute dogs and cupids 
I'm tired of calling you and missing you and dreaming that I've slept with you 
Don't get me wrong I still desperately love you 
Inside this weary head 
I just want us to love, just instead 
But I was just thinking and thinking, merely thinking 
[Chorus]
I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe 
And time is running me still 
If I wait for you longer my affection is stronger I was just thinking 
Babe, I was just thinking 
[Outro]
That I'm tired of calling you once a week 
And thinking of long distance rates instead of kissing you 
Baby I'm sinking, merely sinking
