Gm                                    Dm
You tell me I should run but then you tell me you
 D#maj7 Cm
need me
A lot of places to hide so there's no way you
can see me
I wanna swallow my pride but I choke on my own words
You wanna show me your love but forget how to
reach me

Chorus:
D#                F
Tell me what you wanna know
A#                      D#
And I'll tell you everything inside
                       F
I'll tell you that you are the one for me
Dm7
Don't try to kill me with your love
                         Gm
Don't kill me with your love

What I don't understand is why I'm here on my own
We were only just talkin' in the
silence of your home
I know you better than yourself,
you're the only I know
I follow you through the night like
a dog with the scent of your cologne

Chorus - x2

D#                    Dm         F
I've been waiting my whole life for
    G                 F         Dm D#
someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
I've been waiting my whole life for
someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
I've been waiting my whole life for
someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
I've been waiting my whole life for
someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
I've been waiting my whole life for
someone who makes me feel like you do
It's complicated, I can't lie to you
