[Verse]
AFor 27 years I've been tBmrying
to believe and cGonfide in
different people I foundD  A  
Some of them got closer than othBmers
and some wouldn't even bGother
and then you came arounDdA  
I didn't really know what to calBml you
You didn't know Gme at all
but I was happy to explaDinA  
I never really knew how to Bmmove you
so I tried to inGtrude through
the little holes in your Dveins
[Verse]
And F#mI saw yGou
But that's not an inviDtaAtion
that's all I gGet
If this is communDicAation
I disconGnect
I've seen you, I know you
but DI don't F#mknow how to connBmect
so I disconneAct
[Verse]
AYou always seem to know where to find Bmme
and I'm, still here beGhind you
in the corner of your eyDeA  
I never really learnt how to love yBmou
but I know that I love yoGu
through the hole in the sDkyA  
where F#mI see youG  
and that's not an invitatDioAn
that's all I geGt
If this is communicatiDonA  
I disconneGct
I've seen you, I know you
but DI don't F#mknow how to connBmect

[Verse]

A Bm

For 27 years I've been trying

to believe and confide in

D A

different people I found

Some of them got closer than others

and some wouldn't even bother

D A

and then you came around

I didn't really know what to call you

You didn't know me at all

D A

but I was happy to explain

I never really knew how to move you

so I tried to intrude through

the little holes in your veins

[Verse]

F#m G

And I saw you

D A

But that's not an invitation

that's all I get

D A

If this is communication

I disconnect

I've seen you, I know you

D F#m Bm

but I don't know how to connect

so I disconnect

[Verse]

A Bm

You always seem to know where to find me

and I'm, still here behind you

D A

in the corner of your eye

I never really learnt how to love you

but I know that I love you

D A

through the hole in the sky

F#m G

where I see you

D A

and that's not an invitation

that's all I get

D A

If this is communication

I disconnect

I've seen you, I know you

D F#m Bm

but I don't know how to connect

so I disconnect

[Instrumental]

B C#m A E

B C#m A A9

[Verse]

E B

Well this is an invitation

it's not a threat

E B

If you want communication

that's what you get

I'm talking and talking

E G#m C#m

but I don't know how to connect

and I hold a record for being patient

E B A

with your kind of hesitation

E B A

I need you, you want me

E G#m C#m

but I don't know how to connect

F#m

so I disconnect

I disconnect
