F                      Fmaj7
I've been oversleeping so much that
I've been bored of dreaming
F7                         A#maj7 D#maj7
And just wake up, not next to you
F                       Fmaj7
In this paper town where I live,
                        F7
boxes pass along and I wish
                          A#maj7  D#maj7
That I was sitting in one with you
  A#m
With you

Chorus:
F
I will be your friend, but love you in my soul
Fmaj7
I'll never feel another way,
just thought I'd let you know
       A#maj7
You've knocked me to the floor
Since the moment I saw you
      A#m
Every minute, every hour,
if you'll have me, I want you

You've been overthinking so much,
the traffic in your head
Oh, they rush at the thought of someone new
Lauren, why can't you accept it?
I love you and I'm not pretending
when I say those words to you

Chorus

A#                    C
If I learn to love myself,
                                     F
will it keep you from loving someone else?
        Fmaj7               F7
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
A#                                            C
If learning to love would cost my life, I'd spend
                 A#m
it all on you and I

Chorus
