(Amaj7)Down to you, you’re push ing and pull ing me down to you.

But I don’t know what I...

Now when I caught my self, I had to stop my self, I’m say ing some thing that I should have nev er thought.

Now when I caught my self, I had to stop my self from say ing some thing that I should have nev er thought of (Amaj7)you.

Oh, you, you’re push ing and pull ing me (C#m)down to you but (E)I don’t know what I want,

no I don’t know what I want.

You (Amaj7)got it, you got it, some kind of mag ic, hyp (C#m7)not ic, hyp not ic.

You’re (E)leav ing me breath less.

I (Amaj7)hate this, I hate this; you’re not the one I be (F#m9)lieve in, with (E)God as my wit ness.

Don’t know what I want

but I know it’s not you.

Keep push ing and pull ing me down,

but I know in my heart it’s not you.

Mmm.

Oh.

Now when I caught my self, I had to stop my self from say ing some thing that I should have nev er thought.

Now when I caught my self, I had to stop my self from say ing some thing that (B)I should have nev er thought of (E)you.

I knew, I (F#m7)know in my heart it’s not (C#m7)you.

I nev er (A)know, I know what I want,

I want,

Oh, no, (B)I should have nev er thought.
