AmWon't you please stop telling me
GI know you're not so blind to see
DmThat everything that was correct
EmIs wrong and I know that it ain't just me
AmBut given half the chance to be near you
GWould only make a start in a new decline
DmIf I gave my heart a convincing listen
EmI'd be giving me a warning sign
AmNo form of apology 
GWould ever start to stitch the seam
DmNow it ain't that hard to see
EmThat we were only cutting teeth, dear
AmLong way to go to get nowhere
GBut you can't build a price on a piece of mind
DmIf I gave my heart a convincing listen
EmI'd be giving me a warning sign 'so'
EmFor the last time, drop me a lifeline
Am'Cause days alone they roll into a week
GI won't get away when you fall down at my feet
DmAnd I'm happy with sweet memories
EmSo why would I wanna go and make more history
So don't you say that it's gonna be
Another chance that we won't repeat
Did you think I would turn around
Now you know that I know what a fool would believe
When given half a chance to be near you
Would only make a start in a new decline
And if I gave my heart a convincing listen
I'd be giving me a one way sign 'so'
For the last time just drop me a lifeline
'Cause days alone they roll into a week
I can't get away when you fall down at my feet
And I'm happy with sweet memories
So why would I wanna go and make history
Days alone they roll into a week
I can't get away when you fall down at my feet
And I'm happy with sweet memories
Why would I wanna go and make more history
Why would I wanna go and make more history
Why would I wanna go and make more history 
(All the time that you put me on the back foot) x4
For the last time just drop me a lifeline

Won't you please stop telling me

I know you're not so blind to see

That everything that was correct

Is wrong and I know that it ain't just me

But given half the chance to be near you

Would only make a start in a new decline

If I gave my heart a convincing listen

I'd be giving me a warning sign

No form of apology

Would ever start to stitch the seam

Now it ain't that hard to see

That we were only cutting teeth, dear

Long way to go to get nowhere

But you can't build a price on a piece of mind

If I gave my heart a convincing listen

I'd be giving me a warning sign 'so'

For the last time, drop me a lifeline

'Cause days alone they roll into a week

I won't get away when you fall down at my feet

And I'm happy with sweet memories

So why would I wanna go and make more history

So don't you say that it's gonna be

Another chance that we won't repeat

Did you think I would turn around

Now you know that I know what a fool would believe

When given half a chance to be near you

Would only make a start in a new decline

And if I gave my heart a convincing listen

I'd be giving me a one way sign 'so'

For the last time just drop me a lifeline

'Cause days alone they roll into a week

I can't get away when you fall down at my feet

And I'm happy with sweet memories

So why would I wanna go and make history

Days alone they roll into a week

I can't get away when you fall down at my feet

And I'm happy with sweet memories

Why would I wanna go and make more history

(All the time that you put me on the back foot) x4

For the last time just drop me a lifeline
