C G Am G x2
Dm C G x2

C               G           Am        G
I knew who you were, it was perfectly obvious
C          G        Am         G
I was uncomfortable playing it cool
      Dm   C    G C    Dm C    G
But I feel like I have al-ways known you
C          G           Am                G
I kept you close and I thought you would question it
C            G              Am             G
Young in the night, when we stare like the rest of them
Dm  C  G
God forbid
Dm C  G
Oh my God

        C
I would hold you close
               Am
'Cause it is a lonely world
              Dm
But would you want me too
               G
'Cause it is a lonely world

C          G              Am        G
Well I put off 'cause I'm painfully diffident
C           G         Am        G
I played it out in my head from afar
         Dm    C  G  C  Dm   C  G
But then trust me to go miss my moment
C            G        Am      G
You disappeared to my dissatisfaction
    C               G           Am          G
Oh, what could have been with a little more time?
Dm  C  G
Woe is me
Dm  C  G
Oh my God

        C
I would hold you close
               Am
'Cause it is a lonely world
              Dm
But would you want me too
               G
'Cause it is a lonely world

        C
I would hold you close
               Am
'Cause it is a lonely world
         Dm
If I was confident
               G
'Cause it is a lonely world
