E                       C#m
Lean in close and speak to me low
E                       C#m
Tell me things you want me to know
E               B
'Cause I want to be the one
C#m7            E
You need to lean to speak to me low
E                       C#m
Regretful it's the time of year for letting go
A       B               C#m
Wasting all my time 'cause you just tease me
E
Please leave me alone
E                       C#m
Scared of the feeling of you coming home
A       B       C#m
I'm leaning out the open windows
E
Looking into the alley below
E                       C#m
Rooftops black and the moon's hanging low

E               C#m
And the telephone wires
E               A B
That carry the sound
E               C#m
Stretch across the sky
E               A B
And under the ground

E       C#m
And I will be here
A               B
When you come back
E               C#m
And speak to me low
A               B
Speak to me low

E       C#m
I'll pretend that
A       B
It's okay
E       C#m
We'll just be friends
A       B
So the wires say

E       C#m
But I will be here
A               B
When you come back
E               C#m
And speak to me low
A       B
Speak to me low.
E  C#m  A  B  E
