Fm                       D#
Could you whisper in my ear
                      C#
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anythin'
To feel it comin'
Fm                     D#
Do you wake up on your own
                     C#
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults

C#
I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
                      G# C# G# C# G# D#
So why don't you slide
                         C# G# C# G# C# G# D#
Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you
I don't suppose I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
Or something I can just change
I live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide

Chorus:
   C#           G#
And I'll do anything
          C#             G#
You ever dreamed to be complete
        C#            G#          D#
Little pieces of the nothin that fall
     Fm
Oh, May
               D#
Put your arms around me
          C#              G#/C
What you feel is what you are
              G#          D#
And what you are is beautiful
     Fm
Oh, May
                  D#
Do you wanna get married
         C#
Or run away?

And I'll do anything
you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything
[Chorus]
(Yeah, slide)
And I'll do anything you ever
dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothing that fall

Chorus:
(Yeah, slide)
And I'll do anything you ever
dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothing that fall
Ohh ohh, oh May

Yeah, slide between the sheets
Of all them beds you never knew
(Yeah, slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
And ah we'll run away
Run away, run away
