Lyn Lapid - Keep Me Around

[Intro]
C Dm Am F

[Verse 1]
C Dm Am
Only call when it’s 3 am
F
“Hi”
C Dm Am
I say I’m tired but I’m back again
F
Why?
C Dm Am
Why ring me just to be in your bed
F C
One more time?
Dm Am
These weren’t signs, it was you I misread
F
“Bye”

“Goodnight”

[Pre-Chorus]
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
C Dm
Put me away when my time is up
Am F
Kiss me again like I’m not enough
C Dm Am
To tie you down
F
But you’ll keep me around

[Verse 2]
C Dm Am
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]
Dm
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
F
Yeah, I’m nothing but a second
C Dm Am
Thought to have around
F
Here to drop in when you call in
C Dm
Put me away when my time is up
Am F
Kiss me again like I’m not enough
C Dm Am
To tie you down
F
But you’ll keep me around

C Dm Am F

[Bridge]
C
Keep me on the edge
Dm
Bet that’s what you said
Am F
Only time you’ll ever call me yours is to keep me around (x4)

[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

Here to drop in when you call in

Put me away when my time is up
Am F
Kiss me again like I’m not enough

To tie you down
