[Intro]

C F C G

[Verse]

G C F

Well It's me, going so weak in the knees,

C G

thinking of falling asleep looking in your eyes

C F

but right now, I'm finding it hard to make out,

C G

which word I somehow left out, because of that smile

[Chorus]

Am F

Baby don't be so elusive, I'm trying so hard to refute this,

C G

and every night I just dream this dream of you

You're wearing that same old black dress,

hair to the shoulders and no less

C G

and calling out the same name over and over again,

and it's me

[Bridge]

I... adore you

C G

I... adore you

When will she be finding it harder to breathe,

C G

finding it harder to sleep through the same night

C F

But right now, the days turn into nights,

C G

and nothing feels alright, for you

[Chorus]

Am F

Baby don't be so elusive, I'm trying so hard to refute this,

C G

and every night I just dream this dream of you

You're wearing that same old black dress,

hair to the shoulders and no less

C G

and calling out the same name over and over again,

and it's me

[Verse]

But it's like there's something more,

F C

Pick my heart off the floor,

Am F C G

And its you that I adore, adore

[Instrumental]

Baby don't be so elusive, I'm trying so hard to refute this,

and every night I just dream this dream of you

You're wearing that same old black dress,

hair to the shoulders and no less

C G

and calling out the same name over and over again,

and it's me
