[Verse]

Am Em

Up in bed, all alone

B7 Em

Wondering where you've been

Ten past three

Em B7 Em

I know the club closed at two A.M

Am Em

I've already been through about seven scenarios

B7 Em

'Bout what it was that change your mind

Am Em

Knowing very well that you told me

You'd come home

B7 Em

And it happens every time

[Chorus]

Am Em

Wish I had no expectations

B7 Em

I wish that I could get it through your head

Am Em

With no confrontation

B7 Em

I really wish we could talk about it instead

Am Em

All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side

B7 Em

And you're in the same fucking bed

Am Em

Wish I had no expectations

N.C.

But I expect, you expect, we expect

[Verse]

Am Em

I don't mean to pry

B7 Em

I don't need no play by play (Nah)

Am Em

All I need from your side

B7 Em

Is for you to communicate

Am Em

Respect for my time, respect for my space

B7 Em

Respect for my energy

Am Em

'Cause I've been waiting here all night for you to warm me up

B7 Em

And you haven't once thought of me

[Chorus]

Am Em

Wish I had no expectations

B7 Em

I wish that I could get it through your head

Am Em

With no confrontation

B7 Em

I really wish we could talk about it instead

Am Em

All these tears that I cry while I'm turned to the side

B7 Em

And you're in the same fucking bed

Am Em

Wish I had no expectations

N.C.

But I expect, you expect, we expect
