Fmaj7            Am7
Hands touch all night, I remember
G          Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I stayed behind,  and you were tender
Fmaj7        Am                    G
In my whole life, I wish I never knew
                Cmaj7 Fmaj7
this kind of love

            Fmaj7
I'm keeping company
Am7                            G
Company with all the friends I got from you
         Cmaj7     Fmaj7                Fmaj7
It's not easy, you said, I think you're onto me
Am7                              G       Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Hard to keep it cool, I know you want me too

Chorus:
Fmaj7 Am7                     G         Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I-,      I'm trying to keep away from you
                      Fmaj7
We're gonna need some land between our bodies,
  Am7
though
                     G         Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I'm trying to keep away from you
Fmaj7 Am7                   G       Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I-,     can't control the things I do
                 Fmaj7                     Am7
God, I miss your hands over my body, though
                     G          Cmaj7 Fmaj7
I'm trying to keep away from you

Wake up this time, it's now or never
You've made your mind up and I surrender
My heart was blind, I wish I never knew this
kind of love

I'm keepin' company
Company with all the friends I got from you
It's not easy to sever
Think you're onto me
Hard to keep it cool, I know you want me too
It takes all of my pride

Chorus:
I, I'm tryin' to keep away from you
We're gonna need some land between our bodies
though
I'm tryin' to keep away from you
I can't control the things I do
God, I miss your hands over my body though
I'm tryin' to keep away from you
