[Intro]
G  D  Am    G  Bm  Am  C
[Verse]
Could it Gbe that I just Emcalled you up that GtimeAm  
'Cause he Gmade me feel Dlonely
And Gwe, I guess we Emknew it was a GcrimeAm  
But I knew you would hold me right
Your Bmlove I could Cnever DfightG  
[Chorus]
Those Bmrestless AmnightsD  G  
So Bmwarm and AmwildD  G  
His Bmtouch was AmiceD  G  
Your Bmlove was fiGreD  
[Verse]
I Gknow everyone Emneeds to feel they're GlovedAm  
Maybe GI asked for Dtoo much
SomeGtimes I really Emfelt so pushed and GshovedAm  
But I never meant to hurt him at all
When I Bmslipped, you would Cbreak my DfallG  
[Chorus]
Those Bmrestless AmnightsD  G  
So Bmwarm and AmwildD  G  
His Bmtouch was AmiceD  G  
Your Bmlove was fiGreC  
[Bridge]
MayDbe I'm a Gfool
But I just can't seem to Emsettle downAm  
Always Gthinking there's another stDarG  C  
MayDbe that's the Gkey
'Cause love is never Ereally soundAm  
And it's the only thing BmI can GdoC  
I wasn't very Ggood at being trueD___
[Verse]
And Gnow I look back at Emall the broken GdreamsAm  
And wonder Gif I could have Dchanged them
I Gsee that it was Emin the scheme of GthingsAm  
'Cause still, when I see your face
I Bmknow nothing Cwill reDplaceG  
[Chorus]
Those Bmrestless AmnightsD  G  
So Bmwarm and AmwildD  G  
His Bmtouch was AmiceD  G  
Your Bmlove was fiGreD  
[Chorus]
OhGh, those Bmrestless AmnightsD  G  
So Bmwarm and AmwildD  G  
His Bmtouch was AmiceD  G  
Your Bmlove was fiGreD
