[Intro]
F   Am   G 
Em  C   G/B
[Strophe]
       F 
When I get home 
Am                G 
You better not be there 
              Em 
We're placin' bets you won't
[Pre-Refrain]
C         G/B      F 
Shed your modesty 
             Am               G 
And the only thing to leave behind 
            Em          C     G/B 
Is your own skin on the floor
[Refrain]
          F 
Don't you shy away (Ah-ah-ah) 
Dm 
Manifest a ceiling 
         Am 
When you shy away (Ah-ah-ah) 
G/B                G 
Searchin' for that feelin' 
              F 
Just like an "I love you" (Ooh, ooh) 
     Dm 
That isn't words (Ooh, ooh) 
       Am                          G/B              G 
Like a song he wrote, that's never heard (Ah-ah-ah) 
  
Don't you (Ssh)
[Strophe]
         F 
When you get home 
    Am          G 
You barely recognize the pictures 
Em 
They put in a frame
[Pre-Refrain]
           C         G/B 
'Cause you shed your modesty 
F                Dm 
Don't circle the track 
              Am 
Take what you have 
                           G/B 
And leave your skin on the floor
[Refrain]
          F 
Don't you shy away (Ah-ah-ah) 
Dm 
Manifest a ceiling 
         Am 
When you shy away (Ah-ah-ah) 
G/B                G 
Searchin' for that feelin' 
              F 
Just like an "I love you" (Ooh, ooh) 
     Dm 
That isn't words (Ooh, ooh) 
       Am                          G/B              G 
Like a song he wrote, that's never heard (Ah-ah-ah)

When I get home

Boy, you better not be there 
Am 
You're long gone
[Pre-Refrain]
    G/B       G 
You shed your modesty 
F                Dm 
Don't circle the track 
                        Am 
Just break the cycle in half 
                           G/B    G 
And leave your skin on the floor
[Refrain]
          F 
Don't you shy away (Ah-ah-ah) 
Dm 
Manifest a ceiling 
         Am 
When you shy away (Ah-ah-ah) 
G/B                G 
Searchin' for that feelin' 
              F 
Just like an "I love you" (Ooh, ooh) 
     Dm 
That isn't words (Ooh, ooh) 
       Am                          G/B 
Like a song he wrote, that's never heard (Ah-ah-ah) 
             F            Dm        Am   G/B   G 
That's never heard (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Outro]
Am 
An "I love you" 
Am 
That isn't words 
       Am 
Like a song he wrote 
             G/B 
That's never heard 
          F         Dm    Am   G/B   G 
Don't you shy away
