G
A soft sound
A                             F#m
To the way that she wears her hair down
                 Bm  A
Covering up her face.
           G
Oh what a let down,
A                                   Bm
And I don't seem to be having any effect now
                       A/C# D
Falling all over the place.

And you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking about you
And you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two

Chorus:
      G         A     Bm     D
For crying out loud, settle down!
      G              A         F#m G
You know I can't be found with you
    G              A
We get back to my house
      Bm        D
Your hands, my mouth
    Em           F#m           G A
Now I just stop myself around you.

A small town dictating all the people we get around
What a familiar face
Do you get what I mean now?
I'm so fixated on the girl with the soft sound
And hair all over the place

You're sure that I'd learn
I'm pushing through bodies
Avoiding me and walking around you
You're cold and I burn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two

Chorus:
For crying out loud, settle down
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you
(Hey!)
[Instrumental Interlude]

A soft sound into the way that
she wears her hair down
Covering up her face
And oh, what a letdown
I don't seem to be having any effect now
Falling all over the place

And you're losing your words
We're speaking in bodies
Avoiding me and talking about you
And you're losing your turn
I guess I'll never learn
'Cause I stay another hour or two

Chorus:
For crying out loud, settle down!
You know I can't be found with you
We get back to my house
Your hands, my mouth
Now I just stop myself around you
(For crying out loud!)
