Lyrics

I close the door,

like so (D)man y times, so man y times be fore,

filmed (D)like a scene on the cut ting room floor.

I wan na (D)let you walk a way to night with (C)out a (D)word.

I try to sleep, (D)this:

Ba by, (E)I don’t wan na waste an oth er day; (C)keep ing it in side, it’s kill ing me, ’cause (E)all I ev er want ed comes right down to you, to you.

I (E)wish that I could find the words to say.

(D)Ba by, I would tell you, ev ’ry time you leave,

I’m in con sol a ble.

I climb the walls;

I can (D)see the edge, but I can’t take the fall.

I’ve mem o rized the num ber, so why can’t I make the call?

May be ’cause I know you’ll al ways (C)be with (D)me

in the pos si (C)bil i (D)ty.

Ba by,

Oh, no, no, no.

I don’t wan na be like this; I just wan na let you know

that ev ’ry thing that I hold in is ev ’ry thing I can’t let go,

oh,

oh, can’t let go,

yeah.

’Cause ba by, (E)I don’t wan na waste an oth er day; (C)keep ing it in side, it’s kill ing me, ’cause (E)all I ev er want ed comes right down to you, to you.

I (E)wish that I could find the words to say.

(D)Ba by, I would tell you, ev ’ry time you leave,

I’m in con sol a ble.

Don’t you know it, ba by, I don’t wan na waste an oth er day.

I (E)wish that I could find the words to say.
