One more time?
Dm Am
These weren’t signs, it was you I misread

“Bye”
“Goodnight”

C Dm
Walk out the door you’re not watching
Am F
Turn off the porch light, I bet you think
C Dm Am Fm
I’m better to keep as an option
[Chorus]
C Dm Am
‘Cause I would hate to tie you down
F
Yeah, I’m nothing but a second
C Dm Am
Thought to have around
F
Here to drop in when you call in

Put me away when my time is up

Kiss me again like I’m not enough
C Dm Am
To tie you down
F
But you’ll keep me around

Only yours when you’re all a - lone
F
Right?
C Dm Am
Why keep me close when it’s just for show
F C
It’s all a lie
[Pre-Chorus]

Is this what you wanted?
Am F
Deep down you saw me and always knew I was
C Dm Am Fm
Better to keep as an option
[Chorus]
C Dm Am
‘Cause I would hate to tie you down

Hi, hi

Why?
Why?
Ring me just to be in your bed, one more time
These weren't signs, it was you I misread
Bye
Goodnight
Walk out the door, you're not watching
Turn off the porch light. I bet you think
I'm better to keep as an option
'Cause I would hate to tie
I'm nothing but a second thought to have around
Here to drop in
When you call in
Put me away when my time is up
Kiss me again like I'm not enough to tie, ah, ah
But you'll keep me around
I'm only yours when you're all alone, right?
Why keep me close when it's just for show
It's all a lie
Is this what you wanted?
Deep down you saw me and always knew I was better to keep as an option
'Cause I would hate to tie, ah, ah, ha
Yeah, I'm nothing but a second thought to have, ah, ha, ha
Here to drop in
When you call in
Put me away when my time is up
Kiss me again like I'm not enough to tie, ah, ah, ha
But you'll keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that's what you said
Only time you'll ever call me yours is to keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that's what you said
Only time you'll ever call me yours is to keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that's what you said
Only time you'll ever call me yours is to keep me around
Keep me on the edge
Bet that's what you said
Only time you'll ever call me yours is to keep me around
'Cause I would hate to tie
I'm nothing but a second thought to have around
Here to drop in
When you call in
Put me away when my time is up
Kiss me again like I'm not enough to tie, ah, ah
But you'll keep me around
