STANDARD TUNING w/ CAPO ON 3

* = one strum

[Intro]

C Am Em G

[Verse]

You got me sipping on something

I can't compare to nothing

I've ever known I'm hoping

That after this fever I'll survive

I know I'm acting a bit crazy

Strung out, a little bit hazy

Hand over heart, I'm praying

That I'm gonna make it out alive

[Chorus]

The bed's getting cold and you're not here

The future that we hold is so unclear

But I'm not alive until you call

And I'll bet the odds against it all

Save your advice 'cause I won't hear

You might be right but I don't care

Em G

There's a million reasons why I should give you up

D C Am

But the heart wants what it wa-a-a-a-ants

Em G

The heart wants what it wa-a-a-a-ants

[Verse]

You got me scattered in pieces

Shining like stars and screaming

Lightening me up like Venus

But then you disappear and make me wait

And every second's like torture

Heroin drip, no more so

Finding a way to let go

Baby baby no I can't escape

[Chorus]

The bed's getting cold and you're not here

The future that we hold is so unclear

But I'm not alive until you call

And I'll bet the odds against it all

Save your advice 'cause I won't hear

You might be right but I don't care

Em G

There's a million reasons why I should give you up

Em G

The heart wants what it wa-a-a-a-ants

[Bridge]

C Am

This is a modern fairy-tale

No happy endings

No wind in our sails

C Am

But I can't imagine a life without

Breathless moments

Breaking me down, down, down, down

[Chorus]

The bed's getting cold and you're not here

The future that we hold is so unclear

But I'm not alive until you call

And I'll bet the odds against it all

Save your advice 'cause I won't hear

You might be right but I don't care

Em G

There's a million reasons why I should give you up

D C Am

But the heart wants what it wa-a-a-a-ants

Em G

The heart wants what it wa-a-a-a-ants

C Am

But the heart wants what it wa-a-a-a-ants

Em G

The heart wants what it wa-a-a-a-ants

[Outro]

The heart wants what it wants baby

It wants what it wants baby

It wants what it wants

The heart wants what it wants baby
