C              Am
 When it gets dark
G                              C              Am
I'll leave my window open a crack and pull you up
G        Em                  C       Am
Into a world of dust and sparks
G                                            C   Am Em G
Wait a minute while I check to see if anyone's up, oh


[Verse 2]
C             Am
For love like ours
G                 Em                   C    Am
I'd swim through rivers and oceans of tar
Em                                             C   Am
Wait a minute while I catch a rainbow in the jar
G                   Em       C Am    Em
Wait a minute while I never stop to tell myself


[Pre-Chorus]
                   C
It's not what you said
                   Am
It's not what you said
                  Em G
It's not what you said
                    C
It's not what you said
                   Am
It's not what you said
                   Em
It's not what you said


[Chorus]
                    G
It's not what you said
               Am                C
It's how you said it with those eyes
                 Em
Looking through mine
                G
Like a bitter child
                Am
Like a fading light
                 C
That crossed my mind
           Em
Before I said
           G
Before I said:


[Post-Chorus]
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"


[Verse 2]
C          Am
 To be so sure
G           Em                C        Am
One step forward and two steps more
Em                                                C     Am
Wait a minute while I tell myself I'm not just a whore
G                   Em      C Am     Em
Wait a minute while I never stop to tell myself


[Pre-Chorus]
                   C
It's not what you said
                   Am
It's not what you said
                  Em G
It's not what you said
                    C
It's not what you said
                   Am
It's not what you said
                   Em
It's not what you said


[Chorus]
                    G
It's not what you said
               Am                C
It's how you said it with those eyes
                 Em
Looking through mine
                G
Like a bitter child
                Am
Like a fading light
                 C
That crossed my mind
           Em
Before I said
           G
Before I said:


[Post-Chorus]
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"


[Pre-Chorus]
                   C
It's not what you said
                   Am
It's not what you said
                  Em G
It's not what you said
                    C
It's not what you said
                   Am
It's not what you said
                   Em
It's not what you said


[Chorus]
                    G
It's not what you said
               Am                C
It's how you said it with those eyes
                 Em
Looking through mine
                G
Like a bitter child
                Am
Like a fading light
                 C
That crossed my mind
           Em
Before I said
           G
Before I said:


[Post-Chorus]
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
         Am  C Em G
"I want you"
