[Verse 1]
F C
If I had to break it dow
Em F
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
Bb7 C
Movin' the furniture when
Am
my back is turned
G7
The flick of the lights and
N.C.
the world falls away
[Chorus]
F
And your office job and
C
your silver hair
Em F
But our shapes in the dark are the reason
Bb7
I've stayed for all these years
[Verse 2]
F C
I thought I was a genius,
Em
but now I'm twenty-two
F Bb7
And it's startin' to feel like all
C
I know how to do is
Am G
Put on a suit and take it away
[Chorus]
F
With my fist full of tunes
C
that it's painful to play
Em F
Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells
Bb7 C
They fill up my nights
Am G7
and then they float away
[Verse 3]
F
I've got hundreds of gowns,
C
I've got paintings in frames
Em
And a throat that fills with
F
panic every festival day
Bb C
Dutifully fallin' apart for
Am G7
the Princess of Norway
[Chorus]
F C
But you, with your tall slashes,
Em F
your infinite t-shirts
Bb C
I should've known when your favorite
Am
record was the same as my father's
G7
You'd take me down
[Verse 4]
F C
I guess I'll always be this way
Em
Swallowed up by the words,
F
and halfway to space
Bb7 C
But there, by the fire,
Am
you offered your hand
G7
And as I took it, I loved you,
the boy with the plan
[Chorus]
D G D G
You found me clean as a pine
D G
The man with the axe and
Bb7 C7 D
the lo- ok in his eyes
[Break]
D / G
D / G
[Outro]
D G
We've been through so many hard times
D G
I'm writin' a love song for you, baby
