Ooh I'm a mess right now
        A#
Inside out
                  D#
Searching for a sweet surrender
      G#            D#
But this is not the end
         Cm
I can't work it out
 A#
How?
                   D#
Going through the motions
G#            A#
Going through us

    G#                                D#
And oh I've known it for the longest time
              A#            G#
And all of my hopes all my words
                            D#
Are all over written on the signs
                 A#               G#
But you're on my road walking me home
Home, home

Chorus:
Cm                       A#
See the flames inside my eyes
             G#                       D#   Cm
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love, nooo
                       A#
Easy baby maybe I'm a liar
          G#                     D#
But for tonight I wanna fall in love
              F        G#
And put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time
Late last night
Drinking to suppress devotion
With fingers intertwined
I can't shake this feeling now
We're going through the motions
Hoping you'd stop

And ohhh I've only caused you pain
I know but all of my words will always below
Of all the love you spoke
When you're on my road
Walking me home
Home, home, home

Chorus

    Cm  D#   A#     G#  D#  A# Cm
And for how long I love my lover
Cm  D#   A#    G#   D# A# Cm      Cm
For how long I love my lover and now, now

For how long, long I lo-ove my lover and now, now
For how long, long I lo-ove my lover and now, now

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover
Now now, for how long, long I love my lover
I feel it all over now, now and I feel loved
Now now, for how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved
Now now, for how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved
Now, now, for how long I love my lover
Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved
Now now, for how long, long I love my lover
Now now, for how long, long I love my lover
