Intro: Amaj7

Amaj7                             Gbm   E    Dmaj7
You took Spanish in high school, but I took French
A
So when you're tired and delirious at almost 2am
         D
You type sentences into Google Translate

And then you send them to me
A                  D             E
"Je pense que Lea est tres jolie"
Gbm          E          D                       E
I don't think you know just how much it means to me
Gbm                 A
To watch you try to call me pretty
     D            E                  A
In a language I know that you can't speak



You told me you didn't remember sh t from Spanish class
Bm                                    E      Dmaj7      E
You didn't know how you passed but you did
A
So even if I wanted to call you pretty back in your high school
Bm       D                Bm                     Dmaj7   Em7
Foreign language neither one of us would know what I said
E                Gbm
So I'll stick to French
          E          D
Je pense que tu es tres jolie aussi
Gbm              E
I think you're pretty too
       Dmaj7                       Gbm
In a language that you still don't speak
           E
Then I said

Je t'aime
        D
Je t'aime

Je t'aime
               Gbm
Over and over again
                 E
a confession in French
           D                 E            A
Because I knew you wouldn't know what it meant


       G         Gbm       A
And I know that you don't fall as easily as I do
    G               Gbm                  A            Dbm   A
So I won't press my luck, and say it in words you'll understand
     G                    Gbm
I'm too scared that if I tell you
A
I love you -I love you-
Dbm
Te Amo -Te Amo-
     G                            Gbm         E      A
I'd never get to hear you call me tres jolie again


                                 Dmaj7
You took spanish in high school, but I took french
    A
I'm in college now and it's been four years since then
       Dmaj7         D
But I knew exactly what you said when you had sent
A                     D      A     Gbm    E              A
"Je pense que Lea est tres jolie", you copied and you pasted
D                          Gb
But it meant everything to me
              E        Gb     Dmaj7           Amaj7
To watch you try to call me pretty in a language you can't speak
