Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

 
Dm Em
I’m going back to 505
Am G
If it’s a seven-hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
Dm Em
In my imagination you’re waiting lying on your side
Am G
With your hands between your thighs
 

Verse 2

 
Dm Em
Stop and wait a sec
Am G
When you look at me like that my darling what did you expect
Dm Em
I’d probably still adore you
Am G
With your hands around my neck
F G
Or I did last time I checked
 

Chorus

 
Dm Em
Not shy of a spark
Am G
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Dm Em
Frightened by the bite
Am G
Though it’s no harsher than the bark
 

Verse 3

 
Dm Em
But I’m going back to 505
Am G
If it’s a seven-hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
Dm Em
In my imagination you’re waiting lying on your side
Am G Dm
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
