Fm Bb Eb
It's the morning after
Cm Fm Bb Eb
And we're on a train zigzagging 'cross the countryside
Cm Fm Bb Eb
On our way home from a party
Cm Fm Bb Eb Cm
That turned insane
Fm Bb Eb
He dozes off on my shoulder
Cm Fm Bb Eb
Wakes up suddenly, apologizes
Cm
Looks the other way
[Chorus]
Fm Bb
So tell me how
Eb Cm
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
Fm Bb Eb Cm
So tell me how
[Verse 2]
Fm Bb Eb
The neighbor came a-knocking
Cm
Said she'd call the cops
Fm Bb
He said, "I'll turn down the stereo"
Eb Cm
Pretended to adjust the volume knob
Fm Bb
He's my best friend
Eb Cm
And we can talk about anything
Fm Bb
As long it's about nothing
Eb Cm
As long as it don't cut deeper than the skin
[Chorus]
Fm Bb
Tell me how
Eb Cm
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
Fm Bb
So tell me how
Eb Cm
Tell me how I can tell him I love him, so
Fm Bb Eb Cm
Tell me how
[Bridge]
Fm
I mean I guess he knows
Bb Eb Cm Fm Bb Eb Cm
Just like I know when he says something funny and I laugh from my belly
Fm Bb
Or when Sandra left him and I held him when he cried
Eb Cm Fm Bb Eb
For a moment he left his guard down and so did I
[Verse 3]
Fm Bb Eb Cm
But it's so deep within me, the way a man should be
Fm Bb Eb Cm
Passed on through generations of men before me
Fm Bb Eb Bb Eb Cm
A line drawn in the sand to keep us apart
Fm Bb Eb Cm
A rusty, old padlock hanging on our hearts
Fm Bb Eb Cm
So tell me how
[Outro]
Fm Bb Eb
We part ways at the station
Cm Fm Bb Eb
He's got his bike and he rides into the gap
Cm
'Tween day and night
Fm Bb Eb
Before he's gone
Cm
he shouts, "Later, dude"
Fm Bb
I think, "Yeah
Eb
I love you too"
