Lean in close and speak to me low

Tell me things you want me to know

'Cause I want to be the one

You need to lean to speak to me low

E C#m

Regretful it's the time of year for letting go

A B C#m

Wasting all my time 'cause you just tease me

Please leave me alone

E C#m

Scared of the feeling of you coming home

A B C#m

I'm leaning out the open windows

Looking into the alley below

E C#m

Rooftops black and the moon's hanging low

E C#m

And the telephone wires

E A B

That carry the sound

E C#m

Stretch across the sky

E A B

And under the ground

E C#m

And I will be here

A B

When you come back

E C#m

And speak to me low

A B

Speak to me low

E C#m

I'll pretend that

A B

It's okay

E C#m

We'll just be friends

A B

So the wires say

E C#m

But I will be here

A B

When you come back

E C#m

And speak to me low

A B

Speak to me low.

E C#m A B E
