Capo: 1st fret. 


[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]

[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.
