Dyou spoon water like love and I will Atake it
if you can Etake it
Dyou spoon water like love and I will Atake it
if you can Etake it
Dthis is how we know
this is how wAe go
this is how we Eknow
Dthis is how we know
this is how wAe go
this is how we Eknow
Dyou spoon water like love and I will Atake it
if you can Etake it
Dyou spoon water like love and I will Atake it
if you can Etake it
Dthis is how we know
this is how wAe go
this is how we Eknow
Dthis is how we know
this is how wAe go
(A)                    C#m  
I don't know what to say
Dwhen you're so far from me I can barely make you
AI count two two three
C#mbreathe two three
Dyou spoon water like love and I will Atake it
if you can Etake it
Dyou spin circle in verse and I will Atake it
if you can Etake it
Dthis is how we know
this is how wAe go
this is how we Eknow
Dthis is how we know

soft and slowly, don't you know me
know I couDnt two, I count for you
Agiven the thought I would have C#myou again
I count twDo two three, breathe two three
Ayou walk alone, C#myou talk in code
Dit's a light I can't decipher
Abut eyes shut is sC#momehow enough
under trDick lighting, under trick eyelids
Egiven the thought I would have you again
I count two tDwo three
breathe two three
