  G9
	This week dragged past me so slowly 
               A9
   	The days fell on their knees.
  C9
	Maybe I`ll take something to help me;
  F9
	hope someone takes after me.
   	G9
   	I guess there's always a change in the weather.
   	A9
   	This time I know we could get it together.
   	C9
   	If I did casually mention tonight,
  F9
	that would be crazy tonight.
 
   	Am9
   	Stay. That`s what I meant to say
	Fmaj9
   	or do something. 
                                         E7sus4
   	But what I never say is stay this time. 
                           		 E7
   	I really meant to so badly this time.   
	Fmaj9                                             G9
	Cause you can never really tell when somebody 
                                  Em9/A                  G9      G9
   	wants something you want too.
  
	INTRO 2 (3 times) 

   	G9
   	Heart wrecker, heart wrecker, make me delight. 
   	A9
   	Night is so vague when it brings someone new. 
   	C9
   	This time tomorrow I`ll know what to do. 
  F9
   	I know it`s happened to you. 
 
	Am9
   	Stay. That's what I meant to say  
   	Fmaj9
   	or do something. 
                                         E7sus4  
   	But what I never say is stay this time. 
                                          E7
   	I really meant to so badly this time.	
	Fmaj9                                             G9
   	Cause you can never really tell when somebody 
                                                     Am9   
   	Wants something or wants to stay
                                                 Fmaj9
   	That`s what I meant to say or do something.   
                                          E7sus4

                                          E7
   	I really meant to so badly this time.
   	Fmaj9                                             G9
   	Cause you can never really tell when somebody 
                                 Em9/A                G9   G9
   	wants something you want too.
