It oCccurred to me you might be bFroken
Like Ca sinking ship or a Fcar
Yes, Git dawned on me you might be CdamGaged gFoods
Won't get very far
It oCccurred to me you might be iFnjured
Cause my Cdress was stained from your tFouch
And Git dawned on me we've never Ckissed tGhis hFard
Never tickled this much
(  C   G   Am   F)
Will yoCu stay? GWill you stay in my aAmrms?F  
Will yoCu stay? GWill you stay in my aAmrms?F  
(same base as the verse:)
Well, it occurred to me you might be broken
Cause your eyes seem weary and bright
And you made me wish I could be miles away
You held me too tight
Well, it dawned on me you might be broken
Cause your skin was cold to the touch
And it dawned on me there will be other nights
That won't twinkle this much
(  C   G   Am   F)
Will yoCu stay? GWill you stay in my aAmrms?F  
Will yoCu stay? GWill you stay in my aAmrms?F  
CIf I say it's now or never
GWill you hang around forever?
AmWill you make me feel like love is dFue?
CWill you write a thousand letters
GWill you have me feeling better?
AmWill you make my broken threads come tFrue?
