Verse:

G# 
Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open 
A# 
and it made me long for little last night 
C# 
Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet 
G# 
But a sweet worth every bite 
G# 
Now I'm not normally one to be greedy 
A# 
But I had to be greedy with you 
C# 
5 days, 6 days. the whole of the month 
G# 
wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth 


            G# 
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship 
        A# 
It can take a lifetime to get close 
       C# 
But we took all the shortcuts, 
used our hearts as a map 
G# 
and we still got closer than most

Well excuse my staring but it's just your looks 
A# 
are a standard well above myself

Your face might mean zip to you

But to me it's something else

All I can do is thank you 
A# 
and wish that every dream you have will come true

5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life
