Intro: Gbm7 B7sus4 B7 Gbm

Verse 1:
Gbm7
It's been a long, long time
            B7sus4         B7   Gbm
Since I've memorized your face
Gbm7
It's been four hours now
            B7sus4                B7   Gbm
Since I've wandered through your place
Gbm7
And when I sleep on your couch
B7sus4       B7   Gbm
I feel very safe
Gbm7
And when you bring the blankets
  B7sus4       B7
I cover up my face

Chorus:
  Gbm       Gbm7
  I        do
B7sus4    B7   Gbm
 Love     you
 Gbm7
  I       do
B7sus4    B7   Gbm
 Love     you

Interlude -x2-: | Gbm7 | B7sus4 | B7 Gbm |

Verse 2:
Gbm7
And when you play guitar
  B7sus4          B7         Gbm
I listen to the strings buzz
Gbm7                    B7sus4        B7     Gbm
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers
Gbm7
And when you crochet
       B7sus4          B7    Gbm
I feel mesmerized and proud

Outro:
Gbm7
And I would say I love you
    B7sus4         B7 Gbm    A
But saying it out loud  is hard
     E                Gbm7
So I won't say it at all
 A    E                Gbm7
And I won't stay very long
     A      E         Gbm7
But you are life I needed all along
            A         E  
I think of you as my brother
 Gbm7
Although that sounds dumb


     A         E       Gbm7
And words are futile devices

Biography

Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.
