Capo on 2
[Intro]
Em Bm C
C D Em
[Verse]
I met you when I Emwas a teen
But then you Bmwere one as well
And I could Cplay a guitar
Just like ringing a bell
Sometimes I Cwonder
And any other Dsummer could you have been my Empart time lover
To me listening to Stevie Wonder
Under the covers where we Bmused to lay
CAnd "Re: Stacks" is what the speakers play
I'd be on tour almost Devery day
When I was Emhome up in my flat is where we used to stay
Just watching the DVD, Bmsmoking illegal weed
CGetting high as two kites when we needed to breathe
We'd use each other's air Djust for the people to see Em  
And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep
We go anywhere, our Bmminds would take us
And CI'd say you were beautiful without your make-up
And you don't even need to worry aDbout your weight 'cause
We can Emall be loved the way God made us
At times the only reason that Bmwe could break up
'Cause Cyou would always tell me I'm away too much
Distance is relative to the Dtime that it takes to get Emon a plane
Or make a mistake, so say it again
[Chorus]
EmOh NinaBm  
You should Cgo NinaD  
'Cause I ain't never coming Chome
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow
And I've been living on the Emroad NinaBm  
But then again you should Cknow Nina D  
'Cause that's you and me Cboth
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow, now
[Verse]
And every Emweekend in the winter
You'd be Bmwearing my hoodie
With drawCstrings pulled tight
To keep your face from the cold
Taking day trips to the local
Where we'd Deat on our own
'Cause every Emday when I was away
We'd only speak on the phone
Watching EmBlue Planet
Creating Bmnew habits
Acting as if we was Ctwo rabbits
And then you'd vanish
Back to burrow with all of the Celtics, DI'd disappear
You'd call me Emselfish, I understand
But I can't help it
I put my Emjob over everything
Except my Bmfamily and friends
But you'll be Cin between forever
So I guess we'll have to take a step back
Overlook the situaDtion
'Cause mixing business and Emfeelings will only lead to complications
And I'm not saying we should be taking a Bmbreak
Just re-evaluate Cquick before we make a mistake and it's too late
So we can either to deal with the Dpain
And wait to get on a Emplane
But in a day we'll have to say it again
[Chorus]
EmOh NinaBm  
You should Cgo NinaD  
'Cause I ain't never coming Chome
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow
And I've been living on the Emroad NinaBm  
But then again you should Cknow Nina D  
'Cause that's you and me Cboth
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow, now
[Bridge]
Em-tap- Em-tap-
Love will come and love will go
C-tap- C-tap-
But you can make it on your own
Bm-tap- Bm-tap- Em-tap- (pause) -tap-
Sing that song, go, oh won't you leave me now
Em-tap- Em-tap-
People grow, and fall apart
C-tap- C-tap-
But you can't mend your broken heart
Bm-tap- Bm-tap- Em-tap- (pause) -tap-
Take it back oh, oh won't you leave me now
[Chorus]
EmOh NinaBm  
You should Cgo NinaD  
'Cause I ain't never coming Chome
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow
And I've been living on the Emroad NinaBm  
But then again you should Cknow Nina D  
'Cause that's you and me Cboth
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow, now
EmOh NinaBm  
You should Cgo NinaD  
'Cause I ain't never coming Chome
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow
And I've been living on the Emroad NinaBm  
But then again you should Cknow Nina D  
'Cause that's you and me Cboth
Nina Doh, won't you leave me Emnow, now
