Capo 1

[Intro]
 C      F      C      F 


[Verse 1]
 Am                             F 
You're just a stones throw for me,
                                C 
But throwing stones could never be,
                   G         
The perfect way to start.
 Am                                F 
Coz sticks and stones make broken bones,
                        C 
Empty words make broken homes,
                             G          
But it's love that broke our hearts.


[Chorus 1]
 Dm                          C    G      
And if I knew what you were thinking,
 Dm                          C   G 
I would stop this boat from sinking,
 Dm          F                C 
But darling you are like the sand,
           G                   Dm 
And you're slipping through my hands,
       F                      C 
I just don't know what you're thinking.

[Repeat intro chords]
 C       F      C      F 

[Verse 2]
 Am                       F 
You're just a photo in a drawer,
                             C 
But photographs are not much more,
                        G 
Than ghosts we can't forget.
 Am                         F 
You're just a red rag to a bull,
                        C 
Just a false hope for a fool,
                           G 
But it's as close as I can get. 


[Chorus 2]
 Dm                          C    G 
And if I knew what you were thinking,
 Dm                          C   G 
I would stop this boat from sinking,
 Dm          F                C 
But darling you are like the sun,
        G               Dm 
Setting when my evening comes,
       F                      C 
I just don't know what you're thinking. 


[Bridge]
 F                             Am 
And I would stop the sky from falling,
     C 
If I knew,
     G 
If I knew,
 Dm                         Am 
And I would love you every morning,
     C 
If I knew,
     G 
If I knew. 


[Chorus 3]
[Strum these chords once]
 Dm                          C   G 
And if I knew what you were thinking,
 Dm                          C   G 
I would stop this boat from sinking,
[Back to normal strumming pattern]
 Dm          F                C 
But darling you are like the stars,
       G                  Dm 
I know I can't reach that far,
       F                    C 
I just don't know what your thinking.
