G
I hear you laughing in the other room
                               D
Two doors between us, oh it’s morning soon
             C
I rolled my eyes to land on
ten past nine
“oh god”, I gave up
          G
said goodnight, mmm

G
If I could find the strength of fifty men
                      D
Maybe i could go back in again
               C
I’d shrug my shoulders
I’d shake back my hair
    D#
I’d be the girl
                G
Who doesn’t care hmm

             C
you’re in a weird mood
              G
And I could smell it
            B7
why do you bite back
             C
Why are you jealous?
            C
I couldn’t reach you
           G
No, not tonight
            D
I’ll try tomorrow
I’ll try tomorrow

Chorus:
C
Oh let me look inside
G
Cause under all that fire
           D
There’re knots that I can help undo
    C
My dear I’m only trying to help you
C
will you soften to me?
G
will you not let me be
 D
someone else not getting through
    C
My dear I’m only trying
My dear I’m only to help you

Our conversation walks a fine line
I search the room for brows that raise like mine
I seem to be quite used to heavy words
Don't even know why this still hurts, hmm
And when I come to you and say my peace
Don't give me eyes like this is my problem, please
Folded arms and furrowed brows
It's just too late to admit it now, hmm

You're in a weird mood
And I could smell it
Why do you bite back?
Why are you jealous?
I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
I'll try tomorrow

Chorus

I couldn't reach you
No, not tonight
I'll try tomorrow
And hope you're kind
