Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
The kit[D]chen [G]is cold
But the coffee is [D]warm[G]
And the suns coming [A]up
The day has just be[G]gun
And your already bored
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Bored of cheering me [D]up[G]
Bored of calming me [D]down[G]
Bored of drying my [A]eyes
But there once was [G]a time
When you [D]were the one

[Verse 3]
[G]You were the blue of [D]the sky[G]
You came after the [D]storm
[G]
You were the switch on [A]the wall
In the dark of the [G]hall
[Bm]I'm still fumbling for
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
'Cause I'm lost in [D]the black[G]
I don't know where I am
[D]And [G]arms stretched out in fro[A]nt
And I'm calling your [G]name
Just as loud as I can
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
And I [A]know there's words that
we will never [Bm]speak
And the [G]ques[A]tions can't
be [Bm]answered [A]easily
But I wanted to be easy so
[Bm]Nod your head if the plans
[E]have changed
[A]Shake it, love, if they [D]stayed the same
[Bm]Smile at me and I wi[E]ll stay
[A]Start to cry and I'll [D]go away
[E]Just please don't leave me [A]guessing

[Verse 6]
So you made [D]me come[G]
Then you sent [D]me away[G]
Like a messenger [D]bird[G]
So, I circled the [A]earth
Blown away [G]in the wind

[Verse 7]
But I always [D]returned
[G]With some new lit[D]tle song
[G]Some sad story to tel[D]l[G]
Of a brief love af[A]fair
With a girl I com[Bm]pared to you and [D]she failed

[Verse 8]
[G]You said you don't want me to beg[D]
[G]Then you said get down on
your [D]knees[G]
'Cause you knew that [A]I would
If I do any [Bm]good
Satisfying [D]your needs

[Verse 9]
[G]
And I know [A]all about those
things we cannot [Bm]speak
And just [A]so you know, well,
[Bm]they don't bother [A]me
So you don't have to be worried
[Bm]Just nod your head if the
[E]plans have changed
[A]Shake it, love, if they sta[D]yed the same
[Bm]Smile at me and I wi[E]ll stay
[A]Start to cry and I'll [D]go away
[E]Just please don't keep me waiting
[A]

[Verse 10]
Oh, [Bm]just nod your head if your
[E]mind's been changed
[A]Shake it, love, if some hop[D]e remains
[Bm]Just say the word and of [E]course I'll stay
[A]Roll your eyes and I'll go [D]away
[E]Just please don't leave me [A]guessing
Just [Bm]please don't keep me waiting
