[Verse 1]
BIf you give and not give upD#m  G#m  
We could lie on our backEs underneath our white Bflags
Little motions that rise upD#m  D#m7  G#m  
Bleed into words Efor no one in particular
C#mIt's not a game if we both F#play it (we play it)
G#mIt's not a lie if we both...just say it
[Chorus]
BCome and sit a little closer
Put my D#marm around your shoulderD#m7  
I don't want to be G#malone anymore
Isn't Ebreaking what a heart's for
BWe can close our eyes
Forget about the D#mwrong and the right
D#mYou and I won't be G#malone anymore
Isn't Ebreaking what a heart's for
B D#m   G#m   E
[Verse 2]
BInside there's a burnD#ming
G#mMaking the words that we usEe temporarily true
BWe could twist and then turn 'emD#m  G#m  
Into beautiful lies Eunderneath the moonlight
C#mIt's not a chance if we both Fmiss it (we miss it)
G#mIt's not a knife if we bothE...twist it
[Chorus]
BCome and sit a little closer
Put my D#marm around your shoulderD#m7
