GmI'm not yours, and you're not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
No Ffighting wars, no ringing chimes
CWe're just feeling fine
GmThis is where we're supposed to be
Sitting by a broken tree
No Ftragedy, no poetry
Just Cstaring at the sky

GmI could wait a thousand hours
FStay the same in sun and showers
CPick apart a hundred flowers
DmJust to be quiet

CHold my hand to keep me steady

With CyouDm  
I Gmlike it here beside you dear
You're even more than you appear
And Fin the clouds my head is clear
Every Ctime you say hello
So Gmhere's my heart, and here's my mouth
And I can't help if things come out
'Cause Fthere are words I want to shout
But Cmaybe I'll stay low
[Chorus]:
GmI could wait a thousand hours
FStay the same in sun and showers
CPick apart a hundred flowers
DmJust to be quiet
GmTell me when you feel ready
FI'm the one, there's not too many
CHold my hand to keep me steady
DmJust to be quiet
[Repeat Chorus]

I'm not yours, and you're not mine

Sitting by a broken tree

No tragedy, no poetry

Just staring at the sky

I could wait a thousand hours

Stay the same in sun and showers

Pick apart a hundred flowers

I like it here beside you dear

You're even more than you appear

And in the clouds my head is clear

Every time you say hello

'Cause there are words I want to shout

But maybe I'll stay low

Hold my hand to keep me steady

Just to be quiet
