    F#       C#
And be my mistake
F#                 C#
Then turn out the light
F#                   C#  G#/C
She bought me those jeans
    A#m  C#   F#
The ones you like

                 C#
I don't want to hug
F#              C#
I just want to sleep
F#                C#
The smell of your hair
   G#              F# G#
Reminds me of her feet

     F#                     C#
So, don't wait outside my hotel room
      G#                    A#m G#
Just wait till I give you a sign
       F# C#               G#
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes

Chorus:
              F#                    C#
Save all the jokes you're going to make
         F7                       A#m7
While I see how much drink I can take
   F# C# G#    C#
Then be my mistake

I shouldn't have called
'Cause we shouldn't speak
You do make me hard
But she makes me weak

And don't wait outside my hotel room
Just wait till I give you a sign
'Cause I get lonesome sometimes

Chorus:
And save all the jokes you're going to make
Whilst I see how much drink I can take
Then be my mistake
