Standard (EADGBE)

Every day feels all the same

9 to 5 gets so mundane

But something breaks with just one glimpse of you

I would stare so long awhile

Trying to tell you with my eyes

I didn't say a thing I thought you knew

I wish I never did assume, cos

Chorus

I was gonna tell you today

I even wrote the words I would say

I finally found the courage but now it's too far

It took me all this time to reveal

What everything about you does to me

So tell my why did I keep a cover on my heart

Spent all night trying to explore just

How I'd tell you I adore ya

And how I'm moved by every word you say

But today there's an empty space

I've found you gone without a trace

I wish that I coulda told you yesterday

Maybe then you would've stayed

Chorus

It feels like my point of existence

Has vanished with you in the distance

Whatever it takes I'll persist till I see your face again

Chorus

(key change)

I was gonna tell you today

I even wrote the words I would say

I finally found the courage but now it's too far

It took me all this time to reveal

What everything about you does to me

Tell my why did I keep a cover on my heart
