Dodie Clark - When

Verse:
G
I think I've been telling lies,
C                             G
cause I've never been in love
Em                      G                            G              D         C
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise, distracted by who they're thinking of

Verse:
C                      G
I'd rather date an idea
C                        G
Something I'll never find
           Em
Sure, I'll live in the moment, but I'm never happy here
      G            D               C
I'm surrounded by greener looking times

Chorus:
   C                     D
Am I the only one wishing life away?
      Em                           G
Never caught up in the moment busy begging the past to stay
F                    D#
Memories painted with much brighter ink
                            G
They tell me I loved, teach me how to think

Verse:
C                     G
I'll take what I can get
C                            G
'Cause I'm too damp for a spark
        C
Kissing sickly sweet guys 'cause they say they like my eyes
        G             D           C
but I'd only ever see them in the dark

Verse:
Em                              G
I'm sick of faking diary entries
       C            G          D                C
Got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
    C                  Em               G
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love
            C              D                C
Oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when

Chorus:
C                        D
Am I the only one wishing life away?
      Em                           G
Never caught up in the moment busy begging the past to stay
F                    D#
Memories painted with much brighter ink
                            G
They tell me I loved, teach me how to think
