_ [C] Last night when [A] I walked into [Dm] your house I noticed that [Am] the couch had moved and I [D] wanted
to ask you about it but you weren't talking so when you finished [Dm] I opened [Bb] up my mouth
[Am] and called me out for being [Dm] bad at listening.
_ So [Am] I wrote this song to [D] tell you how well [Bb] that I can listen [C] and that I [A] think that you
are really cute.
[Bb] I _ [Dm] thought that maybe I [D] should wait to tell you that [Bb] I'm like you [F] but I [C] don't really have
[Dm] much to lose.
[Bb] _ I could [A] learn your favorite [Dm] song and play it [Bb] on my guitar [F] and I'll probably [A] sing it
all wrong [Dm] but it might catch [Bb] your attention [F] and I don't [A] know your favorite song [Dm] but it's
probably [Bb] by Marshmallow [F] because you said you [A] really liked them [Dm] when you talked _ [Bb] and I listened. _ _ _ _
_ [F] Yeah I listened!

_ [C] So this morning when I woke [Dm] up in bed I wrote a list of all the things you told me last
night [D] that I [Dm] had inside my head like that yellow is your favorite because it's my [Bb] happy
color [Am] and that you [A] have been sad [Dm] for as long as you remember that the way your [Am] kitchen
[Dm] looks made you upset because it was a mess and well that's the way things look when you are depressed.
[Bb] _ _ [F] Sat [A] across the room on [Dm] that rocking chair you said you hate [F] because it's so [A] loud and
I wish that you [Dm] had sat next [Bb] to me [F] on the couch _ [Dm] and _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] I'm scared [A] that this list [Dm] is too
long that I can't fit [F] all these things into [A] a song and [Dm] still keep your attention [F] so I'm
trying hard to [Dbm] mention [Dm] some important things that I feel [F] really demonstrate [Am] just how well
that I [D] listened _ [Bb] like [Am] how you said with tears [Dm] in your eyes that you wish [F] that being grateful
was [Dm] enough to keep you from feeling [Bb] sad all the time and that your [Am] favorite flowers are
[Dm] impatience and that when [Am] you love somebody you wait [Dm] _ patiently for [F] them and [Am] that's your
favorite movie is the [Dm] Shawshank Redemption and that serenity means listening to the water [Bb] down at
Tarquan [F] Glen and how you make [Am] poor decisions [D] with the people that you choose to [F] date and you'll probably [A] think I'm crazy for this [Dm] and I tell you that I [Bb] don't care about it but that [F] would be a lie because [A] I care what you think about me and I just [A] really desperately [Dm] want to be your [D] next poor decision.
Be your next [C] poor decision.
Be your next poor decision.
_ [F] And I could [Db] learn your favorite [D] song and play it on my guitar [F] and I'll probably [Db] sing it all wrong [Bb] but it might catch your affection and I don't know your favorite song but it might be by Mars [F] Volta.
I could bet you [A] really liked them when [Dm] we talked.
_ [Bb] And I listened. _ _ _ _
_ [F] Yeah, I listened. _ _ _ _
