Dm7           G/D
Your room was square
       Dm7          G/D
I once noticed from there
        Dm7         G/D
In your bed, as you slept
      Dm7     G/D
And I held my breath
Dm7        G/D         Dm7
Everything had its own place
       G/D           Dm7           Am7
And I wondered what space would I take
       Ddim       C
In the order you kept

Dm7        G/D           Dm7
I tried to eat like your girlfriend
     G/D        Dm7            Am7
Just tea in the night, I'd end up
     G#         G
Too hungry to sleep
    Dm7      G/D         Dm7       G/D       Dm7
So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside
        Am7
I would find
     Ddim           C
It's for you won't be mine

Chorus:
C          Dm           F         Am
I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
Am          F          Dm             C
God's very simple and love shouldn't burn
    C          Dm          F            E
And I would've offered you all that you yearned for
    Am           F           Dm           C
But I was still waiting for something to earn

What is that quiet of snow in the night?
The dark rings with white noise
As you stand and drown
Maybe it's all of these snowflakes, screaming
A choir of mute
As they brace for the ground

C              Am
Well that's my ride
          C          Am
Hope you had a good night
           G           F
You know, you made me happy
C             Am
Here shake my hand
          C           Am
You make such a good man
      G              F
Never once did you know me

Chorus:
I tried my hardest, for how do you learn
God's very simple and love doesn't burn
And maybe you'd offered me all that I yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn

Silly me, waiting
