Here's a way to play in the same key as version 2 without straining for all those barre chords:
Capo 1 (Chords relative to capo)
Intro:
You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it.
Why isn't it for me, and I noticed
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?
Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down to a new start
You always knew the truth
And the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?
CHORUS
Respectfully, some honesty I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine we show it
VERSE 2
I'll talk and not a lot to think, we live in dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose,
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
I'm still walking.
I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can't lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind.
CHORUS
Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine we show it
BRIDGE
Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, the last and only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels when the feeling goes
I told you as I haven't, I never felt this way
You said I had the shot that stopped my clock
Baby it's okay
You said you never had regrets
Jesus is there someone else
Who got that wish, did you get yours babe?
CHORUS
Respectfully, some honesty I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk around?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine we show it
