F
Saw you today after so much time
                          Am Em
Felt just like it used to be
F
Talking for hours bout a different life
                         Am Em
Surrounding us in memories
F                             Am Em
We were close never close enough
F               Am Em
Baby are we now
F                                     Am Em
'Cause if it's torn we can stitch it up
F              G
Don't rule it out
G
Oh no no

Chorus:
Am   Gsus4/B C
I'll come around
C/E    F                      G
If you ever want to be in love
Am  Gsus4/B C     C/E     F
I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
       Dm7
If you ever want to be in love
           Am
I'll come around

Wanted to ask if we could have been
But my tongue wouldn't break the seal
You always had something effortless
At school you were the biggest deal
Little quirks close and open up
Time is slipping by
I'm always thinking 'bout the two of us
Replay on my mind
Always playing on my mind

Chorus

G
We were young we were side by side
             F                     C
Don't know when we started losing touch
G
If you want we could walk a while
Dm7                   C
Maybe that would be enough
G
Used to talk drinking to the night
         F                          C
I would wake up on the front room floor
G
All along you'd be in my bed
          F
Make me crazy make me want you more

Chorus:
I'll come around
If you ever want to be in love
I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
I'll come around
If you ever want to be in love
I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
If you ever want to be in love
I'll come around
