Verse 1:
        E           Em7
All the boys voices cracking 
       Abm               A
Oh the moaning half tones 
               E
Come summertime we're 
Em7          Abm A
all the same age here 
        E
All the tension and the
Em7                Abm
terror Thin limbed gorgeous

green eyes smiling 
    E   Em7    Abm        A
And I'm going straight to hell

Chorus:
 E
I try but I'm 
not convincing 
C#m
   Your lips they
pout and twist and 
F#m
  I die trying just to keep
  A         B
myself from kissing you
E
  You take in everything 
    C#m
with a certainty I envy 
F#m
  It's somehow all I need 
     A       B
Just keep me guessing please

It comes down to me and you 
            Abm               A
And whether we're supposed to or

much better off than them

me Always on my mind
