[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#
