(I alternate the A chords in the verse  with open strums.)
 
A                           D      E7  
WHEN I CATCH SIGHT OF YOUR FACE
A			     D      E7
AND THE LATE LIGHT FALLING ON IT
A   				E	       D             A
I FEEL SCARED AND I SCOPE THE AREA OUT FOR A GOOD PLACE TO HIDE
WHEN I FEEL THE WAY YOUR FINGERS
WIGGLE IN MY PALM
I FEEL WARM AND I FEEL GOOD INSIDE
      A 			   E
AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE WEARING A WIRE
      A      			         D
BUT AS THE SUN BECOMES A BLAZING ORANGE BALL OF FIRE
      A  			E		         A
I LOSE INTEREST IN THIS AND OTHER SUCH INCONSEQUENTIAL QUESTIONS

WHEN YOU KICK OFF YOUR SHOES
AND I SEE THE WET GRASS GIVE WAY UNDERNEATH YOUR FEET
AND THE SUNSET SOARS UP ONCE MORE TO ITS BURIAL GROUND
WELL, YOU LOOK SO SWEET

AND I KNOW YOU'LL BE TURNING ME IN
BUT I ALSO KNOW YOUR REAL NAME'S NOT AMY LYNN
AND AS THE ORANGE GLOBE REARS UP TO SWALLOW US, TOO,
I SEE YOU LOOK AT ME AND FIGURE OUT WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOU
WELL, I'M NOT TELLING
I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING
