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