Did I Bbget too close?
Didnt mean to Chave your true Dmcolors exposed
[Chorus]
BbWait, did you ever take a moment just to Dmthink
About anyone, anyone Fother than yourself?
Give me back the Clove I wasted now
BbCold, one day it's gonna hit you youre alDmone
I wont be there, won't be there
It's cFruel to turn around
Give me back the lCove I wasted now
DmIts your eyes that told me you were in it
DmAll the flags that were red I told myself they were tinted
DmThen I noticed that you couldnât stand the sight of your own shadow
DmLike the devil on your shoulder couldnât stand to wait much longer

Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think

About anyone, anyone other than yourself?

Give me back the love I wasted now

Bb Dm

Cold, one day it's gonna hit you youre alone

I wont be there, won't be there

It's cruel to turn around

Give me back the love I wasted now

Its your eyes that told me you were in it

All the flags that were red I told myself they were tinted

Then I noticed that you couldnât stand the sight of your own shadow

Like the devil on your shoulder couldnât stand to wait much longer
