                    G
I found out what I wanted,
I found out when I needed to
                       C
You thought me kind-a-hearted,
                     G
I heard that when I wanted you
                  A#   F          G
Being wrong isn't easy, right's another way
                  A#   F          G
Being wrong isn't easy, right's another way

A-when you want me, just think like you're ready to
Like me when I want to, why me does it have to be?
Everyone tried to tell me, right's another way
Everyone tried to tell me, right's another way

Chorus:
C                                       A
Trust me to fall apart, trust you to know
C                                      G
Just you and no-one else, just me alone
C                                         F
Why did it have to be? I should have known
C      G           C
Oh I should have known

I can't tell, did you mean it?
Did you mean what I think you did?
I won't give less you need it,
just a bit could be overhead
I won't wait for a minute, can't hesitate
I won't wait for a minute, can't hesitate
