 Am        G                  F
Drivin' through the night to see you
Am       C      C/E        F
I don't care if you don't care
You go through me like I'm see through
And I see you everywhere (I see you everywhere)

Chorus:
Am         G                    F
I've been lyin' all alone in an empty bed
Am                 C     C/E        F
You know what you do to me when you in my head
(In my head)
I watch as the blades go round on the ceilin' fan
And I wish that you were here to hear this

'Cause I was three words away
I was three words away
Yeah, I was three words away
I was three words away

Bmm, wakin' up alone in Brooklyn (In Brooklyn)
Nothin' ever feels the same, hey
I know you think that we're just broken
(Just broken)
But it don't have to be that way, yeah

Chorus:
I've been lyin' all alone in an empty bed
(Empty bed)
You know how I lose myself when I'm in my head
(When I'm in my head)
I watch as the blades go round on the ceilin' fan
(Ceilin' fan)
And I wish that you would just come over
'Cause I was three words away
I was three words away
Yeah, I was three words away
I was three words away, mmm

I've been losin' sleep for you, for you
And i've been losin' sleep for you
I've been losin' sleep for you, for you
And i've been losin' sleep for you

Chorus:
I've been lyin' all alone in an empty bed
(Empty bed)
You know what you do to me when you in my head
(In my head)
I watch as the blades go round on the ceilin' fan
(On the ceilin' fan)
And I wish that you were here to hear this (Yeah)

'Cause I was three words away
(I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish)
I was three words away
(I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish)
Yeah, I was three words away
(I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish)
I was three words away
(I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish)

I've been losin' sleep for you, for you
And i've been losin' sleep for you
I've been losin' sleep for you, for you
And i've been losin' sleep for you
'Cause I was three words away
