Chords for I Listened - Apes of the State LIVE @ Mr. Beery's 2/5/16

Thank you all. _ _ _ _ _ _
Once again we are It's For The State of Miami, it's for Pennsylvania and I am Rueben Correa, my ex-girlfriend.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] What's up Rueben?
You starting us off?
Yeah.
_ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Last [B] night when I walked into [D] your house I noticed that [Am] the couch had moved [B] and I wanted [Bb] to ask you about it
[F] but you were talking [A] so intently and [Bb] I opened up my mouth [Am] and you called me [B] out for being [Bb] bad at listening.
[A] So I wrote this song to tell you just how well that I can listen and just that I [Dm] think that you are really cute.
_ [D] And I thought that maybe I should wait to tell you that I like [A] you but I don't really have too much [Bb] to _ lose.
[F] I could learn your favorite [Dm] song and play it [Bb] on my guitar.
[F] Not probably sing [B] it all wrong but [Dm] it might catch your attention.
And I don't know your favorite song but it's probably by Marzolka but I bet [B] you really like that [Dm] song.
_ I can't [Bb] listen.
No, no Rueben.
[Dm] Yeah, I'm listening. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [B] I'm _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [B] here.
_ _ [Dm] _
You [F] _ sat [A] across from me [Dm] on that rocking chair and you said you hate it cause it is [B] so loud
and I wish that you [Dm] had sat next to me [F] on the couch.
[Am] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [F] And I'm scared that [A] this list is [Dm] too long that [Bb] I can't fill [F] all these things [A] into a song and still keep [Bb] your attention.
[F] So I'm trying [A] hard to mention [Dm] some important [Bb] things that I feel will [F] really demonstrate [A] just how well [Dm] that I listen.
[Bb] _ [Am] Like how you [A] said with tears [Bb] in your eyes that you wish that being [A] grateful was enough to keep [Bb] you from feeling sad all [D] the time.
And that your favorite flowers are impatience and [F] that when you love somebody [B] you wait [Dm] patiently for them.
And that your favorite movie is [Bb] the Shaw Chamber of Depth.
And [A] that serenity means listening [Dm] to the water.
_ [F] _ Make [B] poor decisions [Dm] with the people that you choose [Am] today.
And you'll probably think [A] I'm crazy for this [Dm] and I tell you that [Bb] I don't choose you but that [Dm] would be a lie because [A] I care [Dm]
what you think about me.
And [F] I just really [A] desperately [Dm] want to be your next poor decision.
[C] Be your next poor decision.
Be your next poor decision.
_ [F] And I could [C] learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar.
[Am] And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your affection.
And I don't know [Dm] your favorite song but it might be my modern trigger.
And I _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] listen.
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah I [F] listen!
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
