The 1975 - Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy): chords

           G C                 G
I tell you I  can visualise it all
C
Too real it all seems
    Am        C                    G
But once again, runnin' away with me
Am        C                    G
Once again, runnin' away with me
      G              C
This couldn't be a dream
                   G Em C D
Runnin' away with me
                   G Em C D
Runnin' away with me

       Am          G
And I stop myself for a minute
 C
See if my heart's still in it
                          Am
Say a few things just to win it
G         C
Funny how it works out, innit?

                  Am                G
And I told her, "Some things have their time
 C
How can I be yours if you're not mine?"
            Am                G
She said, "They should take this pain
     C         D
And give it a name"

Chorus:
     G     Em               C
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
I (Run away from me, run away from me)
   G         Em               C
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
D
(Run away from me, run away from me)

Give yourself a new name
Change your voice on the train
Have her complain about your fame
Tell me that it's all a rigged game

She told me, "Some things just take time
How can you be sure if you won't try?"
She said, "I guess I'll take this pain
Instead of your name"

Chorus:
Tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me)
I (Run away from me, run away from me)
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me)

                  C
And it's been replaying on my mind
   B7                        Em
Unfortunately, I've been to this place in my life
 A7
Far too many times
 Am                      C
Sunday's nearly over, so I'll just lie awake
   G        Em              C    D
Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I
   G         Em               C     D
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally

Chorus:
And tonight, I wish I was your boy
(Run away from me, run away from me)
I (Run away from me, run away from me,
runnin' away with me)
Tonight, I think I fucked it royally
(Run away from me, run away from me)
(Run away from me, run away from me,
runnin' away with me)

Runnin' away with me
Runnin' away with me
