One of her older songs from when she was known as Ashley Frangipane.
Capo 3 (or 2 depending on what suits your voice)
Intro
C   G x 2
GYou're probably sitting at a bar, fingers loosely craCdling a glass
GI'm miles from where you are can't remember when I sCaw you last
GWe both have so called "responEmsibilities" and otChers to answer to tomorrow
GBut right now I'm begging you to be my safCety, the kind of love I can't return 
but I'm gonna borrow
GYour eyes meet mine the lights are playing shaCdows right down to your collar
GYour love is calling I'm praying you'll do anyCthing to stall her
GI'm sorry darlEming I know he's yoCurs
I know you make him breakfast and fit between his aGrms
Tonight I'm borrowing a perfect Emman, I'm borrowing your broken lCove
GI'm sorry darling I know he's yoCurs
I know you wear his class ring and I don't mean you any harm
GTonight I'm borrowing your perfect man I'm borrowing your broken lCove
G  C
GOh woah oh, Oh woah oh, Coh ooh oh
GYou'll laugh and offer some honest coCnversation
Catch me in the cracks between your crooked smile
GYour words are more like illusCtrations
Toss your head back but I know you'll stay awhile
GYour eyes meet mine the lights are playing shCadows right down to your collar
GTonight I'm borrowing a broken mEman, I'm borrowing your perfect loCve
GYour love is calling I'm praying you'll do anyCthing to stall her
GTonight I'm borrowing a broken Emman, I'm borrowing your perfect loCve
CTell me how can a heavy heGart be so emDpty
CYou left all your baggage on my steps Gwhen you went and leDft me
GI'm sorry darlEming I know he's yoCurs
I know you make him breakfast and fit between his aGrms
Tonight I'm borrowing a perfect Emman, I'm borrowing your broken lCove
GI'm sorry darling I know he's yoCurs
I know you keep him close and I don't mean you any harm
GTonight I'm borrowing a perfect man I'm borrowing your broken lCove
