_ [F] Last [A] night when I walked into [D] your house I noticed that [F] new couch had moved and I [D] wanted
to ask you [Bb] about it.
But you weren't talking [A] so when you [Dm] finished I opened [Bb] up my mouth [F] and you called [A] me out
for being [Dm] bad at listening.
[Bb] _
[F] So I wrote [A] this song to tell you [Dm] just how well [Bb] that I've eaten [F] and that [A] I think that
you [Dm] are really cute. _
[F] And I thought that [A] maybe I should [D] wait to tell you [Bb] that I like you [F] but I [A] don't really
have too [D] much to lose.
[Bb] _
[F] And I could [A] learn your favorite [Dm] song and play [Bb] it on my [F] guitar and I'll probably [A] sing it
all wrong [Dm] but it might [Bb] catch your attention.
[F] And I [A] don't know your favorite [Dm] song but it's probably [Bb] by Marcelle [F] Doka.
Except you [A] really like [Dm] Emily in Soft. _
And I [Bb] listened. _ _ _ _ _
[F] Yeah, I listened!
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] So this morning [A] when I woke [D] up in my bed [Bb] I wrote a list of [F] all the things you [A] told me
last night [D] that I had inside my [F] head.
Like that yellow [A] is your favorite [Dm] because it's a [Bb] happy color.
[F] And that you [A] have been sad [Dm] for as long as [Bb] you remember.
And [F] that the way your [A] kitchen looked [D] made you upset because [Bb] it was a mess.
[F] And well that's the way [A] things look when you're [Dm] depressed.
[Bb] _ _
You sat across [A] the room on [Dm] that rocking chair [Bb] you said you hate [F] because it is so [A] loud and
I wish that you [D] had sat [Bb] next to me [F] on the couch.
[A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
And [F] I'm scared that [B] this list is [Bb] too long that I can't fit [F] all these things [A] into a song
[Dm] and still keep [Bb] your attention.
[F] So I'm trying [A] hard to mention [Dm] some important things [Bb] that I feel will really demonstrate
just [A] how well that [Dm] I listened.
[Bb] _
Like how you said with tears in your [Dm] eyes that you [D] wish that being [F] grateful was enough
to keep [Dm] you from feeling sad all the [F] time.
And that your [A] favorite flowers [Dm] are impatience.
[Bb] And that [A] when you love somebody you wait [Dm] patiently for them.
[F] And that your favorite [A] movie is the [D] Shawshank Redemption.
And that serenity means listening to the [D] water down at [F] Tukwong Glen.
And how you make [A] poor decisions [Bb] with the people that you choose to [Dm] date.
And you'll probably think [A] I'm crazy for this [D] and I tell you that [Bb] I don't give a shit but
that [F] would be a lie because [A] I care what you think [Bb] about me and I [E] just really [A] desperately
want to [D] be your next [Bb] poor decision.
Be your next poor decision.
Be your [C] next poor decision.
[F] It's I could [A] learn your favorite [D] song and play it [Am] on my [F] guitar.
And I'll probably [A] sing it all wrong [D] but it might catch [F] your affection.
And I don't [A] know your favorite [D] song but it might be [Am] by Mars Volta [F] cause that's a [A] really
light, [Dm] delicate song.
_ [Bb] And I listened.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] Yeah, I
