F                Am
Our secret moments in a crowded room
G               C      C/H
They got no idea about me and you
F                     Am
There is an indentation in the shape of you
G
Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo

F                                 Am
All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation
 G                                 C             C/H
My hands are shaking from holding back from you (ha, ah, ah)
F                                 Am
All of this silence and patience, pining
and desperately waiting
 G
My hands are shaking from all this,
ah, ha, ha, ha-ah

Chorus:
F       Am                        G
Say my name and everything just stops
         C               C/H
I don’t want you like a best friend
F                  Am                       G
Only bought this dress so you could take it off,
take it off (ha, ha, ha-ah)
F           Am           C
Carve your name into my bedpost
G               C               C/H
'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
F                  Am                       G
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it off (ha, ha, ha-ah)

Inescapable, I'm not even gonna try
And if I get burned, at least we were electrified
I’m spilling wine in the bathtub
You kiss my face and we're both drunk
Everyone thinks that they know us
But they know nothing about—

All of this silence and patience,
pining and anticipation
My hands are shaking from holding back from you
All of this silence and patience,
pining and desperately waiting
My hands are shaking from all this

Chorus:
Say my name and everything just stops
I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah
Carve your name into my bedpost
'Cause I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it oh, ha, ha...

Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah-ah
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah, ha-ah-ah-ah
Only bought this dress so you could take it off

Flashback when you met me, your buzzcut and my hair bleached
Even in my worst times, you could see the best of me
Flashback to my mistakes, my rebounds, my earthquakes
Even in my worst light, you saw the truth in me

       F                           Am
And I woke up just in time, now I wake up by your side
G  C                C/H
My one and only, my lifeline
   F                           Am
I woke up just in time, now I wake up by your side
    G
My hands are shaking, can't explain this, ha, ha, ha, ha

Chorus:
Say my name and everything just stops...
I don't want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah
Carve your name into my bedpost
'Cause I don’t want you like a best friend
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
Take it oh, ha, ha, ha-ah

There is an indentation in the shape of you
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
You made your mark on me, golden tattoo
Only bought this dress so you could take it off
