D#
I been out walking
G7
By the shore
G#
The air was still
               G#m
And still the water cold
    D#      G7     Cm
And I want you to know
     G#           D#
I'm thinking of you

This kind of chill
It helps me cope
I was so young to leave you all alone
And I want you to know
I'm thinking of you

Chorus:
Cm
All the pretty girls they find
   G#
A way to keep you on my mind
   D#                          A#
I swear I heard you singing along
Cm
Cities pass like candy stores
    G#
And you're the one I'm looking for
      D#   A#
It's so wrong
I didn't know until you were gone
D#                        G#
Tell me, my love, you're ready to go?

Don't leave me all on my own and so

I'm just a boy
      G#         F
Who's telling a girl
          A#
That when I grow up
     G#         D#
I'll buy you a rose
     A#
When I grow up
     G#         D#
I'll buy you a rose

And now I'm walking in the rain
I couldn't lie cause I was so afraid
And I want you to say
You're thinking of me

Chorus

Cm                    G#
Baby tell me that you love me so

Can you hold me close? (hold me close)

Baby tell me you'll forgive me now
        D#                    A#
Cause I don't know how I can let you down
Hey, hey, hey

Chorus:
Tell me my love, you're ready to go?
Don't leave me all on my own
And so
I'm just a boy who's telling a girl
That when I grow up I'll buy you a rose
(I'm gonna buy you a rose Yeah)
Tell me my love, you're ready to go?
Don't leave me all on my own
And so
I'm just a boy who's telling a girl
That when I grow up I'll buy you a rose
(I'm gonna buy you a rose Yeah)
When I grow up I'll buy you a rose
Yeah when I grow up I'll buy you a rose
