<verse 1>

     E [riff 1]      C#m
When I held back the doors and accidentally my hand touched yours  

    [riff 2]
    D        A D A
you smiled

          E [riff 1]                             C#m
But if my voice sounded unsteady it’s because by then I was already 
    
  [riff 2]
  D        A D A
beguiled

      A [riff 3]                    F#m
And I knew as the rain beat down outside
                          C#m
There was nowhere else to hide
                          D
You were going to have to speak to me

<verse2>
     E [riff 1]                           C#m
As we sheltered there together and talked inanely about the weather 
  [riff 2]
  D        A D A
I thought


     E [riff 1]                            C#m
How it would be obligatory to ask for your number if this was a story  
             
             [riff 2]
             D A D A
but it’s not
    
    A [riff 3]           F#m
And so, I watch you walk away
                        C#m
And then waste my whole day
              D
Imagining the things you’d do

     
     A [riff 3]                     F#m
Like how you’re bound to love quiet men
               C#m  
And if we meet again, 
                 D
how I’d actually speak to you


E                                               D        A
Here’s the funny part, I wouldn’t know where to start
E                                                   D    A
That’s cos I’m always the quiet one, you’ve already gone

   
    A [riff 3]           F#m
And so, I watch you walk away
                        C#m
And then waste my whole day
              D
Imagining the things you’d do
     A [riff 3]                     F#m
Like how you’re bound to love quiet men
               C#m  
And if we meet again, 
                 D
how I’d actually speak to you
