the wax paper that i taped over the windows
F7/C					  E7/B
melted as quick as chocolate in the heat
B5(add 11)			  D/A
and it'll probably never come off now
    F7/C				   E7/B
the windows look like frosted glass if you see them from the street
	B5(add 11)			D/A
and the dim light that filters through
F7/C	     E7/B
casts a new light on you
B5(add 11)			      D/A
it makes me get all misty because i remember something 
F7/C			    E7/B
and then i see your shadow

    Asus2	B5(add 11)	   E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
and i,		i wanna follow you all the way down this time
Asus2	  B5(add 11)			   E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
i want to see what it is you're going down for
Asus2	B5(add 11)	E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
i,	i want you	more than i want anything
Asus2  B5(add 11)	E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
i want you the way you were

B5(add 11)	      D/A      F7/C	       E7/B
you were lying in the moonlight outside in the grass
B5(add 11)			 D/A
when i heard an animal voice somewhere in the dark
F7/C	    E7/B
and i saw a wing shadow pass
B5(add 11)			D/A   F7/C	      E7/B
and just then the gleam in your eye	made my blood freeze
B5(add 11)		     D/A
there was something up above us
F7/C				E7/B
rustling in the branches of the trees

    Asus2	B5(add 11)    E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
and i,		i		pressed up against you again
Asus2		     B5(add 11)		E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
i could hear your heartbeat		steady, and hard, and pure
Asus2	       B5(add 11)     E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
i used to love you so much	that i was sure it would kill me
Asus2	   B5(add 11)	   E7(no 3)  E6(no 3)  (x6)
and i want you the way you were
