[D]I been watchin' you watchin' me, I could feel your eyes from way across the room
[Bm]But now that I'm holdin' you close I can see ain't no way I'm gonna get around you
[D]I won't tell you I don't need you tonight, I won't pretend I ain't burnin' inside
Your [Bm]skin glowin' soft in the silver moonlight, the shadows where the promises hide
[G]The bittersweet taste of your kiss,[Gm] it's all more than I can resist
Chorus:
[D]If you'r[Bm]e thinkin' 'bout breaki[F#m]n' my [A]heart
[D]You might as well just pick up your[Bm] little black dress and [F#m]go [A]
[D]Somebody [Bm]else already tore it a[F#m]part [A]
And I thought you should [G]know [Gm]
Maybe this is all that you want, maybe you're just as lonesome as me
A shoulder that you can cry on, a warm safe place you can be
Someone to call in the middle of the night when the ghosts in your bedroom won't rest
Two arms to hold you tight, I promise that I'll do my best
To give you everything I got to give and keep your secrets for as long as I live
