 G   Bm   Em   Cx2
[Verse 1]
GI was fine on my own, Bmevery night I slept alone
The Emdistance kept me Csafe
It's Geasier to fake the feel than Bmdance around with somethin' real
EmPromises might Cbreak
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you Dcame along and said that EmI was different
You were missin' Csomethin' and it felt like we should see
DNormally, I'd file away your Emface as a distraction
But I Clike the way that you're distracting me
[Chorus]
 GGet in the Bmplane, Emrunnin' your fingers through my hair
 GDon't wanna Bmbehave, Emhow do you act when no one's there?
 GFeelin' a tBmype, feelin' a Emway, it's different and it's woGrkin'
 BmOh, you make me Emnervous, oh, you make me GnervousBm  Em  
 DOh, you make me GnervousBm  Em  
[Verse 2]
GI went home before my friends so BmI could hear your voice again
But Emit feels strange to Ccare
I Ghesitate to say out loud that Bmwhen I'm drunk and in a crowd
EmI pretend you're thCere (You're there)
[Pre-Chorus]
We Dwatched the helicopters from the Emtop of your apartment
And Call I could think was, "I don't want to leave"
DNormally, I'd file away your Emface as a distraction
But I Clike the way that you're distracting me
[Chorus]
 GGet in the Bmplane, Emrunnin' your fingers through my hair
 GDon't wanna Bmbehave, Emhow do you act when no one's there?
 GFeelin' a tBmype, feelin' a Emway, it's different and it's Gworkin'
 BmOh, you make me Emnervous, oh, you make me GnervousBm  Em  
 DOh, you make me GnervousBm  Em  
[Bridge]
 GI'm writing this frEmom your bed
 GWhile you're in tEmhe other room
 GI like what you Emdo to me, Gand I wanna Emtell you soon
 GMaybe you'll Emshy away, Gmaybe we'll Emfall apart
 GIt's hard bein' Bmhonest, but I'm being Emhonest
[Chorus]
 GGet in the Bmplane, Emrunnin' your fingers through my hair
 GDon't wanna Bmbehave, Emhow do you act when no one's there?
