F#m                      C#
She had something to confess to
                       F#m
But you don’t have the time so
                Bm
Look the other way

You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you’d never shown her
Too little much too late

Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Chorus:
F#m                    C#
Can you see that I am needing
                F#m
Begging for so much more
               Bm
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
E       F/C#         F#m
And I’ll do it on my own

I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I’ve made a big mistake

Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Chorus:
Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own
I’ll do it on my own
