Verse:
E                         Dbm                        Gb    A
And every sentence that I spoke began and ended in ellipsis
E                              Dbm
Each of eight fingers gripping what he wrote,
         Gb               A
clung on tightly, like parenthesis
        E              Dbm
And for each correctly used apostrophe,
   Gb                           A
I, I could feel my heart sink inside my chest in front of me


    E                     Dbm
So, maybe the lining of a winter's coat
                Gb                          A
mightn't be the best place to hide a summer secret
     E
Said every photo that you took that festival
Dbm
got lost in your camera in an insurance scam
    Gb
And though underexposed, i could see from the quality,
    A
his K Records t-shirt and you holding his hand


      E
And I know he took you to the beach,
      Dbm
I can tell from how you bite on your cheek,
Gb                                  A
every time the sand falls from your insoles
             E                   Dbm
And when our eyes meet, all that I can read,
               Gb      A
is "you're the b-side".

Chorus:
                E
They said "it's not what you like,
                 Dbm
it's what you're like as a person",
      Gb                         A
Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain
E
Not what you like,
                Dbm
but what you're like as a person,
      Gb                         A
Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain.
