Lyrics

Our se cret mo ments in a crowd ed room.

They got no i de a a bout me and you.

There is an in den ta tion in the shape of you.

Made your mark on me, a gold en tat too.

All of this si lence and pa tience, pin ing and an tic i pa tion; my hand are shak ing from hold ing back from you, ah, ah, ah.

All of this si lence and pa tience, pin ing and des p’rate ly wait ing; my hand are shak ing from all this ah, ah, ah, ahh.

Say my (C)name and (Csus)ev (C)’ry thing just (C)stops.

I don’t (C)want you like a (C)best friend.

On ly bought this (C)dress so (Csus)you (C)could take it (C)off, take it off, ah, ah, ahh.

Carve your (C)name in (Csus)to (C)my bed post,

’cause I don’t (C)want you like a (C)best friend.

On ly bought this (C)dress so (Csus)you (C)could take it (C)off, take it off, ah, ah, ahh.

In es cap a ble; I’m not e ven gon na try.

And if I get burned, at least we were e lec tri fied.

I’m spill ing wine in the bath tub.

You kiss my face, and we’re both drunk.

Ev ’ry one thinks that they know us, but they know noth ing a bout...

(C)off, ah, ah, ahh,

ahh,

ahh.

On ly bought this (C)dress so you could take it Ahh, off.

ahh.

ahh.

On ly bought this dress so you could take it (CN.C.)off.

back when you met me, your buzz cut and my hair bleached.

E ven in my worst times, you could see the best of me.

(CN.C.)off.

back to my mis takes, my re bounds, and my earth quakes.

E ven in my worst lies, you could see the best of me.

You saw the truth in me.

And I (Fsus2)woke up just in time; now I (Fsus2)wake up by your side.

My (CN.C.)one and on ly, my life line.

I (Fsus2)woke up just in time; now I (Fsus2)wake up by your side.

My (Fsus2)hands shake, I can’t ex plain this (CN.C.)ah, ah, ah, ahh.

Say my (C)name and (Csus)ev (C)’ry thing just (C)stops.

I don’t (C)want you like a (C)best friend.

On ly bought this (C)dress so (Csus)you (C)could take it (C)off, take it off, ah, ah, ahh.

Carve your (C)name in (Csus)to (C)my bed post,

’cause I don’t (C)want you like a (C)best friend.

On ly bought this (C)dress so (Csus)you (C)could take it (C)off, take it off, ah, ah, ahh.

There (C)is an in den ta tion (C)in the shape of you.

(On ly bought this (C)dress so you could (C)take it (C)off.) You (C)made your mark on me, (Csus)gold (C)en tat too.

(On ly bought this dress so you could take it (CN.C.)off.)
