D D/B G


[Verse 1]
   D
I'm sitting here in a neon cloud
    D/B
You walk in and there ain't no doubt
     G
You look happy now
      g
Damn, you look happy now
       D
He takes your coat and gets your chair
       D/B
You're talking fast, you cut your hair
       G
You still drink Coke and crown
       G
Yeah, you look happy now


[Chorus]
        A                               D/B
I wish I could walk over, say, "Hello, how you been?"
      G                                 D
Pretend that this ain't killing me, pretend we're just old friends
      A                                       D/B
I wish I could just lie to you, keep my feelings all locked up
      G                               G
But when it comes to you, I know I'll say too much
   D
'Cause it's hard to keep my heart shut
         D/B                      G
It's hard to keep my heart shut


[Verse 2]
    D
There's a gravity that's in this room
   D/B
Why do I feel so pulled to you
     G
When I'm right here with him?
     G
Damn, I looked at you again
      D
I took some space, I gave it time
      D/B
For the smoke to clear, for the fire to die
       G
But the flame's still flickering

And I'm right here with him


[Chorus]
      A                                  D/B
I wish I could walk over, say, "Hello, how you been?"
        G                                     D
Pretend that this ain't killing me, pretend we're just old friends
       A                                D/B
I wish I could just lie to you, keep my feelings all locked up
            G                         G
But when it comes to you, I know I'll say too much
                                 D
'Cause it's hard to keep my heart shut


[Bridge]
       D/B                    G
I wonder if you feel the way I do
     D/B                          G
Is it better if we never know the truth?


[Chorus]
        D                                  D/B
I wish I could walk over, say, "Hello, how you been?"
         G                                    D
Pretend that this ain't killing me, pretend we're just old friends
           A                                D/B
I wish I could just lie to you, keep my feelings all locked up
        G                              G
But when it comes to you, I know I'll say too much
                            D
'Cause it's hard to keep my heart shut
      D/B                  G
It's hard to keep my heart shut


[Outro]
            D                D/B
I can't keep my heart shut, oh
             G
I can't keep my heart shut
                             D
I can't keep my heart shut
