[Intro]
D, Dsus4, D, Dsus4  
[Verse 1]
DYou asked if you could see me Gbefore I went to Spain
You Ddidn't give a reason, didn't Gknow what you would say
But I was Dhoping that my breath on your Gface
Would blow Devery last thing into Gplace
[Break]
Em, Bm, G  
The Dbedspread decked in suns and moons
And Gsymbols of the star signs
DHow you read how mine applied to Ghow I would be sex-wise
And Din my arms you disappeared and GI seemed twice the size
DSlept and woke with lips together, Gsleeping felt like lies
[Break]
Bm, D, G, D  
D, Dsus4, D,  Dsus4(x4)
[Pre-Chorus]
DGirl, I Emhelped you with your demons
But your Gghosts are now haunting me Dtoo
DThat French Embitch, an ex-boyfriend
ThreateGning to tie his neck to the Droof
But if we Bmtiptoe through the tDrue bits
We might Bmmake it to the other DsideG  
What doesn't Bmkill you leaves you Dwounded
But I will Bmnurse you better, DalrightG  D  
[Chorus]
    DI've been wAaking on your Emside of the Dbed
    DAs the sAun's been rising Gin the West
    DI've been wAaking on your Emside of the Dbed
    DAs the sAun's been rising Gin the West

[Verse 2]
DIf your skin feels softer, I've no Gargument to make
The Dweight of such apologies caused sGtronger men to ache
If his Dkisses draw the bad out, I Gcan't have a complaint
As they Dhit your tongue like sedatives while GI lay wide awake
[Break]
Em, Bm, G  
[Bridge]
You can Dfeel a tremor in a sGingle word
It rattles Ddown your spinal Gchord
And you can cDatch a raincloud in an hGourglass
But it will Dturn into a sGtorm
Knee deep in Bmflowers we'll stray, you keep the Ashowers awGay
[Pre-Chorus]
DGirl, I Emhelped you with your demons
But your Gghosts are now haunting me Dtoo
DThat French Embitch, an ex-boyfriend
ThreateGning to tie his neck to the Droof

That French bitch, an ex-boyfriend

Threatening to tie his neck to the roof

If your skin feels softer, I've no argument to make
