D              Bm         D
Sun is filling up the room,
                    Bm    D
And I can hear you dreaming.
                 Bm    F#m
Do you feel the way I do
 A       D
Right now?
                 Bm         D
I wish we would just give up,
                       Bm     D
Cause the best part is falling
            Bm        F#m      A
Call it anything but love, and I will

Chorus:
G
Make sure to keep my distance
A
Say I love you when you're not listening.
Bm                        A
How long can we keep this up?

Please don't stand so close to me,
I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now
I'll give you everything I am
All my broken heartbeats until
I know you'll understand

Chorus

Bm                G
And I keep waiting
                  D
For you to take me.
                 F#
And you keep waiting
To say what we have.

Chorus:
So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long 'til we call this love, love, love?
