[Verse 1]
C G/B
Maybe I had too many drinks but that's just what I needed
Am7
I hope that you don't think that what I'm saying sounds conceited
Dm7 C
When I look across the room and you're staring right back at me
G
Like somebody told the joke and we're the only ones laughin'
[Pre-Chorus]
C G/B
Don't know why I tried, 'cause ain't nobody like you
Am7
Familiar disappointment, every single time I do
Dm7 C
And every single night my arms are not around you
G
My mind's still wrapped around you
[Chorus]
C
Baby, tell me when you're ready
G/B Am7
I'm waitin'
Dm7
Baby, anytime you're ready
C G
I'm waitin'
C G/B
Even ten years from now if you haven't found somebody
Am7
I promise, I'll be around
Dm7
Tell me when you're ready
C G
I'm waitin'
[Verse 2]
C G/B
What if my dad is right, and he says that you're the one
Am7
No, I can't even argue, I won't even fight him on it
Dm7 C
Call you when it's late, and I know that you're on bed
G
'Cause I'm three hours back, seems like you're always six ahead
[Pre-Chorus]
C G/B
And I don't know why I tried, 'cause there ain't nobody like you
Am7
Familiar disappointment, every single time I do
Dm7 C
And every single night my arms are not around you
G
My mind's still wrapped around you
[Chorus]
C
Baby, tell me when you're ready
G/B Am7
I'm waitin'

Baby, anytime you're ready

[Bridge]

And if I have to, I'll wait forever
Dm7 Am7 G
Say the word, and I'll change my plans
Am7 G/B C
Yeah, you know that we fit together
Dm7 Am7 G
I know your heart like the back of my hand
[Chorus]

So baby, tell me when you're ready
