Easy distraction (2024) (video)

D - G - D - G

D

1. We used to jump the fence, now we both think twice,

D

we used to make up games, now we just make nice.

Bm A - D

Lately I just can’t tell you what I would give just to see you.

D

2. I know that I’ve been distant and hard to trust,

D

I know a place exists that was made for us,

Bm A - G

I’m standing in the hallway nervous just to see you.

D

Pull up at my place, knock on my door !

G

I’ll say, I’m sorry. You’ll say, What for ?

Bm

For letting this happen, for letting you go,

A G D

you’re all that I had, and now it’s starting to show.

D

3. I wanna say so much, get to you so bad,

D

I wanna claw my way, back to what we had.

Bm A - G

I’ll swallow all the pride I paraded, just to see you.

D

Pull up at my place, knock on my door !

G

I’ll say, I’m sorry. You’ll say, What for ?

Bm

For letting this happen, for letting you go,

A G

you’re all that I had, and now it’s starting to show.

D

But I’m still in the hallway, praying for time,

G

for an easy distraction to drown out my mind.

Bm

Oh, I let this happen, I let you go,

A G D

you’re all that I had, and now it’s starting to show.

+ D - G - D - G

Bm

+ I can't see what's coming ahead in the night,

A

but I'm willing to risk it, I'm willing to fight.

D

For every mistake I'll give you my hand,

G

just promise to hold it wherever we land.

Bm

I can't see what's coming ahead in the night,

A

but I'm willing to risk it. If you…

+ repeat last long CHORUS

G Bm

+ Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,

A G D

oh oh oh oh, and now it's starting to show.

G Bm

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,

A - G D

oh oh oh oh, and now it's starting to show.
