[A]If I had to break it [E]down
I'd say it's the [G#m]way [A]you love to dance
[F#m7-5]Movin' the [E]furniture when my back is [C#m]turned
The [B7]flick of the lights and the world falls away
And your [A]office job and your [E]silver hair
But our [G#m]shapes in the dark are the [A]reason I've stayed for [F#m7-5]all these years
I [A]thought I was a [E]genius, but now I'm [G#m]twenty-two
And [A]it's startin' to [F#m7-5]feel like all I know how to [E]do is
[C#m]Put on a suit and [B]take it away
With my [A]fistful of tunes that it's [E]painful to play
[G#m]Fingernail worlds like [A]favorite seashells
[F#m7-5]They fill up my [E]nights and then they [C#m]float [B7]away
[A]I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got [E]paintings in frames
And a [G#m]throat that fills with panic every [A]festival day
[F#m7-5]Dutifully fallin' [E]apart for the Princess of [C#m] [B7]Norway
But [A]you, with your [E]doll's lashes, your [G#m]infinite [A]t-shirts
I [F#m7-5]should've known when your [E]favorite record was the [C#m]same as my father's
You'd [B7]take me down
I [A]guess I'll always be this [E]way
Swallowed up [G#m]by the words, and [A]halfway to space
[F#m7-5]But there, by the [E]fire, you offered your [C#m]hand
And as I [B7]took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan
[F#]You felled me [B]clean as a [F#] [B]pine
The [F#]man with the [B]axe and the [D7]lo- [E7]ok in his [F#]eyes
[F#] [B] [F#] [B]
[F#]We've been through so many [B]hard times
I'm writin' a [F#]love song for you, [B]baby
[F#] [B] [F#]
