Alaska

G                             C 
And if you aren't home when I get back 
            D 
And there's no more paintings in the living room 
     Am 
Just plain white walls and the echo of you 
     G                                 C 
Then I'll sit on the floor and take it in 
    D 
And I'll freak out like you've never seen 
       Am 
When I find the note that you left for me 


    G                C 
And that feels like Alaska 
D 
Sitting on my chest 
Freezing me to the bone 
Am 
Making me afraid to ever be alone 
    G             C 
But I know I'm allowed to 
D 
Want what I want 
And say what I mean 
        Am 
But you might not want it you might not want me 


G 
I could lose you 
C 
I could lose you 
D 
I could lose you 
Am              C        G 
I could I could I could I could 


    G                                             C 
I remember the first time I took a shower in your house 
We were only friends then 
      D 
I was nervous to be naked with you 
Am 
Somewhere on the other side of the door 
       G 
And my heart leapt with every creak of the floor 
      C 
And I wondered if you wanted more 
    D 
And wrapped in a towel I stood in your room 
       Am 
As you gave me a sweater to change into 

    G                 C 
And that feels like Alaska 
D 
Sitting on my chest 
Freezing me right through 
Am 
Making me want to cling to you but 

G 
I could lose you 
C 
I could lose you 
D 
I could lose you 
Am 
I could I could I could I could 

G 
I could lose you 
C 
I could lose you 
D 
I could lose you 
Am 
I could I could I could I could

G C D Am } 

     G 
Like crashing a car 
      C 
Like falling asleep 
    D 
And waking up 
       Am 
To the house burning 
        G 
So when I come home 
     C 
I'll kiss your cheek 
      D 
Cause I know I know 
       Am            G C 
I could lose you 
      D 
Cause I know I know 
       Am 
I could lose you
