[Verse 1]
B
I watch you reading a book

You come together and you come a - part
[Chorus]

You say you hope I'm not the kind
G#m G#m/A# B
To make you feel obliged to go
E F#
ticking through your time
G#m G#m/A# B
With a pained look in your

When first you left

I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep
E Emaj7 E
I know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mine
Emaj7 E Emaj7 B
And something that I could keep
[Verse 4]
B
Now I realize
B Emaj7
that time is not the only compromise
E Emaj7 E
a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
Emaj7 E Emaj7 B
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
[Chorus]

So I hope I'm not the kind
G#m G#m/A# B
To make you feel obliged to go
