Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it.

 But it isn't meant for me, and I noticed

 If the choice was ours alone,

 Then why'd we both choose letting go?

 Does it end like this?

 Time never had a chance to heal your heart

 Just a number always counting down to a new start

 If you'd always knew the truth

 Then the world would spin around you

 Are you dizzy yet?

Chorus

 Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out

 Do you hear the conversation we talk about?

 I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house

 If there's half a chance in this moment

 When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.

Verse 2

 All talk and not a lot to think, we were living dreams

 And shame never crept close to our naked feet

 If there's something left to lose,

 Then don't let me wear out my shoes

 That I still walk in.

 I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night

 On a payphone, remember those from another life?

 If everything I meant to you,

 You can't lick and seal then fold in two

 Then i've been so blind

Chorus

 Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now

 Do you hear the conversation we talk about?

 I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house

 If there's half a chance in this moment

 When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.

Bridge

Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, your last, your only.

Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,

Everything you showed me.

Oh, oh, this must be how it feels

 When the feeling goes... oh

I told you as I haven't, I never felt this way

 You said I have the shot that stops my clock

Baby it's okay

 You said you never had regrets

Jesus, is there someone yet

 Who got their wish; did you *get yours babe? *=release the finger on the 5th

Chorus

 Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out

 Do you hear the conversation we talk about?

 I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house

 If there's half a chance in this moment

 When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.

 (Strum to the end.)
