[Intro]
Am G C
[Verse 1]
Am G C
How do I make you fall in love with me?
Am G C
And how would I let you know I care?
Am G C
And how would I say that the man you're laying with
Am G C
Is not the man that should be laying there?
Am G C
How would a boy like me put it?
Am G C
A man with some sense probably wouldn't
Am G C
But I don't give a damn, I am not a smart man
Am G C
I'm gonna say some words I shouldn't
[Verse 2]
Am G C
I had a dream I was falling,
Am G C
maybe that's a fucked up metaphor
Am G C
Maybe it just means, when I meet you in my dreams,
Am G C
Nothing stops me from going through the floor
[Verse 3]
Am G C
I know all the bad things about you
Am G C
But I still think you're the purest of our kind
Am G C
I remember being younger, with an awful pining hunger
Am G C
For a food that a boy could never find
Am G C
And a fear of a man so left behind
[Verse 4]
Am G C
So I guess I'll just love you from a window
Am G C
While you're dancing with the charmers in the room
Am G C
And I'll sneak out that door like I have a time before,
Am G C
And just let that lost love loom
Am G C
And just let that lost love loo-oo-oom
[Verse 5]
Am G C
How do I make you fall in love with me?
Am G C
Is it lost in the emptiness of apathy?
Am G C
Should I fight for it like war, should I nail it down to boards
Am G C
Or do I live in a love I'm dying for?
[Outro]
N.C.
How do I make you fall in love with me?
Am G C
And how would I let you know I care?
Am* G* C*
And how would I say that the man you're laying with
Am** Am** C**
Is not the man that should be laying there?
