With In The Way He Spoke

And The Way He Draws,

The Way He Sings Along To His Guitar

D                       D
As I'm falling for him more and more,
Bm                       Bm
The more it'll hurt the day he leaves
G                                   G
And when I hear his voice it's like it's straight out of a dream
A                              A
I would do things for him that completely messes my routine
Bm                              Bm
so even just for a minute it'd feel like he's right next to me
 

D                                  D
I would take time out of busy days so I could hear his laugh
Bm                                 Bm
listen to his favorite songs while staring at his photograph
G                                   G
I needed him, I wanted him, right person but wrong time
A                              A
and on September 9, the telephone cord cut the line
 

D                                        D                      Bm
but you said it yourself, flowers from 1970 couldn't last that long and you were my flower
G                           G
and for one last time I said "goodbye old man" 
A                                  A
you said "you take care of those flowers, wrong number."
 
Chorus:
D
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Bm
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It Whenever He
G
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact That He’s Obsessed With Me
A
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers From 1970
 
Interlude: D Bm G A
 
Chorus:
D
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Bm
and he made me feel so special but it broke me when he
G
asked for closure, proof that in 1970, a man
A
who didn't even exist yet had loved me.
 

D                       D
you said you just can't have your heart in 2020 with me
Bm                       Bm
when your heart belongs there in 1970
G                                   G
maybe in another life we'd do the things we couldn't do
A                              A
so I'd hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you.

Now My Only Memories Of Him Are Handprints On The Wall.
G
And That Faded Green Paint 3 Familiar Words Were Written Under
         A
Once Upon A Time, Same Room, Same House, 50 Years Apart.
 
We Have Loved Each Other
