B			G#m
We've only ever kissed lying down
      B			
We've only ever touched
            G#m
When there's no one else around
B		G#m
I can be elusive if you want me to
     B
I'm not being intrusive
	G#m
I just wish I knew the truth

F#
As to why
	    G#m
I wait for you
F#	                    E
Longer than the average person would
    F#
And why
        G#m
I think about you
 E                      F#
More than I think one should

           D#m                  E
Our body's fit together like a makeshift puzzle
           F#
And It's clear to see why you puzzle me
         D#m
And you turn your frame
          E
And you whisper my name
    F#
As though I am a burden

Chorus:
         B             G#m
Cus I'm making up for last time
        D#m            E
And I'm making up for you
         B              G#m
And I'm waking up from last night
        D#m             E
And I'm waking up with you
           B G#m
So what's new
           B G#m
So what's new

I am at your house
So I belong to you for now
Trying to impress you
But lord I don't know how
I can be a statue
If you want me to
I'm not being difficult
I just need to know the truth

As to why
I'm wanting you
And I would take you if I could
And why I'm still lay here
It's something I still haven't understood

Our hands rest together
Like pieces of paper
But they're always blank
When I hold your hand
And it gave you a fright
When I stayed the night
Cause you gave yourself to me

Chorus:
Because I'm making up for last time
And I'm making up for you
And I'm waking up from last night
And I'm waking up with you
So what's new?
So what's new?
So what's new?

Our hands rest together
Like pieces of paper
But they're always blank
When I hold your hand
And it gave you a fright
When I stayed the night
Cause you gave yourself to me

Chorus
