G#m    B           E
When I wake in the hall
G#m  B            G  D#
To a call from my bedroom
E        B              F#        G#m
Lift the blanket pulled over your shoulders
  E      G#m            D#m  D#
A pillow performance of you


[Verse 2]
G#m  B          E
So I pamper the dust
G#m     B          G   D#
Or, did I hear the doorbell?
E       B            F#       G#m
Severed hope, it was only the postman
E         G#m       D#m D#
Leaving a letter or two


[Chorus]
E             G#m
Take me to my lover
G#m                 F#           E
Don't know how much longer I can take
        B            C#m  F#
I can't stay here forever oooh

E               G#m
Tuck me in your covers
G#m             F#           E
Bring the color back into my face
        B            C#m   F#
I could lay there forever oooh


[Instrumental]
G#m B E G#m


[Verse 3]
G#m      B          E
Will the clock ever rest?
G#m       B           G  D#
Watch him working his angles
E  B         F#7           C#m
My god, it's painful as he peels away the paint
         B        A    G#m
Till I'm red underneath


[Chorus]
E             G#m
Take me to my lover
G#m                 F#           E
Don't know how much longer I can take
        B            C#m  F#
I can't stay here forever oooh

E               G#m
Tuck me in your covers
G#m             F#           E
Bring the color back into my face
        B            C#m   F#
I could lay there forever oooh


[Instrumental]
E B F#m C#
E B D F#m


[Bridge]
E    B      F#m C#
Eat, sleep, worry
E     B  D
Count to ten
E    B      F#m C#7
Eat, sleep, worry
E     G#m D
Count to ten
E    B      F#m C#
Eat, sleep, worry
E     G#m C#m F#
Count to ten


[Chorus]
E             G#m
Take me to my lover
G#m                 F#           E
Don't know how much longer I can take
        B            C#m  F#
I can't stay here forever oooh

E               G#m
Tuck me in your covers
G#m             F#           E
Bring the color back into my face
        B            C#m   F#
I could lay there forever
        B            C#m   F#
I could lay there forever oooh
