[Verse 1]

I've been thinking about you

And I hope you're thinking too

Maybe we should just come together

Maybe I should let me love you

'Cause you are my girl

At least you were until I broke your heart

[Chorus]

Em D G

But I miss your small tattoo

Em D G

And I remember when I told you

Em D G

That you looked so nice

Em D G

Under those city lights

[Verse 2]

Maybe I should just grow up

Maybe you should too

I had a false sense of maturity

Just like you

And I'm thinking, oh I'm thinking

Every conversation

And smoking on my porch

Make me regret ever hurting you

[Chorus]

Em D G

But that dress looks so nice

Em D G

And I really wanna take you on a ride

Em D G

But I can't help myself

Em D G

When my heart starts talking to my mind
