The Author

• Verse 1

Verse 1
C
  Someone tell the author
C
What I really think of her
                   F
'Cause I'm afraid that all my unprecedented thoughts
F                   C
Won't lead anywhere


Verse 2
C
I've stood in acquiescence
C
For too long in our friendship
C            F
I question the expense
F
Of saying what I've penned
           Am                              G
What if my narrative would bring us to the end?


Chorus
     C
Well, I don't wanna stay here
        Dm                     Am
I wanna be in your arms by the sea
              F
Studying your freckles curiously
F
Focused on your eyes so delicately
C
I just wanna stay outside till 6AM
Am
Even though I hated it then
                    F
I've only gone and stumbled into a dream
F                                             C               Am F
But will I ever be the one that you see while falling asleep?
               C   Dm Am F
While falling asleep


Verse 3
C
  Are you caught in self reflection
C                                           F
Or fighting the intention to follow what is told?
F                        G           F
Are you afraid of living life in bold?
                Am                             G
How else do you plan on emphasising what they wrote?


Chorus
     C
Well, I don't wanna stay here
        Dm7                    Am
I wanna be in your arms by the sea
              F
Studying your freckles curiously
F                               G
Focused on your eyes so delicately
C
I just wanna stay outside till 6AM
Dm            Am
Even though I hated it then
                    F
I've only gone and stumbled into a dream
F                                             C
But will I ever be the one that you see while falling asleep?
D   C   Am   F               C   D Am F
oh no, oh no, while falling asleep


Bridge
     Dm          Am
When unfamiliar faces
C                   G
Tell you where your place is
  Dm               Am
I promise I'll be patient
C      G
  With you and all your
Dm          Am
Hyperbolic statements
C              G        F
I'll always be waiting
  G
Waiting


Chorus
C
 I don't wanna stay here
        Dm                     Am
I wanna be in your arms by the sea
              F
Studying your freckles curiously
F
Focused on your eyes so delicately
C
I just wanna stay outside till 6AM
Am                      F
Even though I hated it then
                    Am             G
I've only gone and stumbled into a dream
                 F                                      Am   G F
But will I ever be the one that you see while falling asleep?
        Am   G F
Falling asleep

No, oh
