Intro and verses:

d=Downward Strum u=Upward Strum M=Mute

Come here butter cup

 And let me fill you up

Can't you see I'm the blue in your skies

You can't tell by the stars in my eyes

ohh

Dawn always comes too soon

 It hurts me like a bruise

 There's a hole in my pillow

where you used to be

 It feels like a hole in the middle of me

 ohhhh

oh oh oh

 Just take my hand

 To have and hold if not obey

oh oh oh

 Say you're still my man

 I try and find the words to say

that I want you always to stay

 to wake up with you

 every single day

 the words get in the way

*Mute*

Words get in the way

Tell your boss your dead

 And let's go back to bed

You make me want to break out in song

 but every time I try it just comes out wrong

 ohhh

oh oh oh

 just take my hand

 to have and hold if not obey

oh oh oh

 say you're still my man

 I try and find the words to say

that I want you always to stay

 To wake up with you

 every single day

 but the words get in the way

 Words get in the way

 I leave a message

 On your answering machine

I try to say

What I really mean

 Ohhh

oh oh oh

 Just take my hand

 To have and hold if not obey

Oh oh oh

 say you're still my man

 I try and find the nerve to say

that I want you always to stay

 to wake up with you

 every single day

Oh oh oh

 just take my hand

 to have and hold if not obey

oh oh oh

 say you'll be my man

 i try and find the nerve to say

that I want you always to stay

 to wake up with you

 every single day

 words get in the way

 Words get in the way
