[verse 1]
Em A D G
i don't wanna be your girlfriend
Em A D G
i wanna be the weight that's in your arms, oh baby,
Em A D G
when i put my makeup on and you watch from behind
Em A D
in the mirror, i just want to see you smile

[verse 2]
Em A D G
you don't have to open the door like we're out on a date
Em A D G
let's just make a mess of things like always, baby,
Em A D G
dresses and combat boots, stubble and lip stick stains
Em A D
let's put on that song that just sounds better when it rains

[chorus]
Em A D G
it goes ahhh, and that's when your eyes close
Em A D G
and all, all of the lights go blurry and
Em A D G
still, in the night, your hand still finds my side
Em A D
tracing the shape of my body, like van gogh painting the sky

[verse 3]
Em A D G
i don't wanna be your girlfriend
Em A D G
i just wanna be the one who takes you home, oh baby,
Em A D G
when the room is quiet, your head laying on my chest,
Em A D
can you hear the stars exploding themselves to death?

[verse 4]
Em A D G
if this was a story book, i'd be a prince or a singing brook
Em A D G
and you'd be the knight that comes to drink from the stream, oh baby,
Em A D G
if i could write it, you'd be a traveler lost among the trees
Em A D
and i'll be the voice that guides you home

[chorus]
Em A D G
singing ahhh, and that's when your eyes close
Em A D G
and all, all of the lights go blurry and
Em A D G
still, in the night, your lips find mine
Em A D
connecting my dots like lines in the night sky
