Verse 1:
A                     E
If I had to break it dow
                 Abm   A
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
 Gbm7b5         E                      Dbm
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
      B7                        (nc)
The flick of the lights and the world falls away
 
Chorus:
           A                   E
And your office job and your silver hair
         Abm                         A                   Gbm7b5
But our shapes in the dark are the reason I've stayed for all these years
 
Verse 2:
    A               E                   Abm
I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two
     A              Gbm7b5                       E
And it's startin' to feel like all I know how to do is
 Dbm                B
Put on a suit and take it away
 
Chorus:
         A                             E
With my fist full of tunes that it's painful to play
  Abm                     A
Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells
   Gbm7b5         E                    Dbm    B7
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
       Abm                                  A
And a throat that fills with panic every festival day
 Gbm7b5              E                       Dbm  B7
Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway
 
Chorus:
     A              E                  Abm       A
But you, with your tall slashes, your infinite t-shirts
 Gbm7b5                        E                     Dbm
I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's
       B7
You'd take me down
 
Verse 4:
    A                        E
I guess I'll always be this way
    Abm                           A
Swallowed up by the words, and halfway to space
  Gbm7b5           E                      Dbm
But there, by the fire, you offered your hand
           B7
And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan
 
Chorus:
 Gb             B         Gb   B
You found me clean as a pine
     Gb            B          D7  E7         Gb
The man with the axe and the lo- ok in his eyes
 
Interlude (x2): Gb / B
 
Outro:
Gb                           B
We've been through so many hard times
               Gb                  B
I'm writin' a love song for you, baby

Outro: Gb B
