[Intro]
Am7/E D7sus4 D7 Am7/E
D7sus4
D7

[Verse 1]
Am7/E
It’s been a long, l ong time
D7sus4 D7
Since I’ve memorized your face
Am7/E
It’s been four hours now
D7sus4 D7
Since I’ve wandered through your place
Am7/E
And when I sleep on your couch
D7sus4 D7
I feel very safe
Am7/E
And when you bring the blankets
D7sus4 D7
I cover up my face
Am7/E
I do

[Chorus]
D7sus4 D7
Love you
Am7/E
I do
D7sus4 D7
Love you

[Interlude]
Am7/E D7sus4 D7 Am7/E
D7sus4 D7

[Verse 2]
Am7/E
And when you play guitar
D7sus4 D7
I listen to the strings buzz
Am7/E D7sus4 D7
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers
Am7/E
And when you crochet
D7sus4 D7
I feel mesmerized and proud
Am7/E
And I would say I love you
D7sus4 D7 C
But saying it out loud is hard

[Bridge]
G/B A5
So I won’t say it at all
C G/B A5
And I won’t stay very long
C G/B A5
But you are life I needed all along
C G/B
I think of you as my brother
A5
Although that sounds dumb

[Outro]
C G/B Emadd11/A
And words are futile devices
