Em           C (2x)

Em           C 
Love ridden, I’ve looked at you
Em             C
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles 
G                  Em 
I’ve wished on the lidded blue flames 
            C
Under your brow
       G
And baby, I wished for you 

Em                        C       
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
Em                            C
And I wanna crawl in with you but I cry instead 
G                     Em          
I want your warm , but it will only 
               C 
make me colder when it’s over
    Em
So I can’t tonight, baby 

       
G                  Em
No, not baby anymore 
G                        C 
If I need you I’ll just use your simple name 
G                    D                     
Only kisses on the cheek from now on 
 Em                                        C
And in a little while, we’ll only have to wave
 

C 
My hand won’t hold you down no more 
Am                                    
The path is clear to follow through 
C                           
I stood too long in the way of the door 
Em               D             G
And now I’m giving up on you 

G            G
