B                          C#
I saw you looking for the side door
A#m                        D#m
You didn't want to stick around for
     B               C#
The rest of the night
   A#m               D#m
I guess that's alright

B                       C#
They all left when you walked home
A#m                      D#m
It makes sense that they all know
       B           C#
It was only for you
   A#m          D#m B
If only you knew

F#/A#        G#m
What good is love
F#/A#           B
Without any strings?
F#/A#     G#m
Held it above
F#/A#        B
Stuck in between
F#/A#       G#m
Tell me for once
     F#/A#      B
What that even means
F#/A#      C#
I want to know you
                   B
But can't make it right

Chorus:
         C#             A#m
There's something on my mind
         D#m
There's something that I
B                                  C#
(Wish I would've told you, but you just don't
seem to wonder
A#m                            D#m
what you're doing when you're close to me)
     B
Oh, yeah
         C#              A#m
There's something on my chest
   D#m            B
I wish I would've said
                        C#
(I think it over and it might be true
    A#m                         D#m
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you)

We locked eyes from a distance
So close, but I missed it
Now you're walking away
When I wish you would stay

I get stuck in a conversation
A different night, same situation
I beat myself up
For not speaking up

Every night I can't make it right, yeah

Chorus:
There's something on my mind
There's something that I
(Wish I would've told you, but you just don't seem)
(To wonder what I'm doing when you're close to me)
Oh yeah
There's something on my chest
I wish I would've said
(I think it over and it might be true)
(I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you)

Only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you, oh yeah
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you
I'm only overthinking when I'm close to you, oh yeah
