Capo 9

[Intro]
Am7 D7sus4 D7 Am

[Verse 1]

Am7
It's been a long, long time
                 D7sus4                D7    Am
Since I've memorized your face
Am7
It's been four hours now
                 D7sus4                           D7    Am
Since I've wandered through your place
Am7
And when I sleep on your couch
D7sus4      D7    Am
I feel very safe
Am7
And when you bring the blankets
D7sus4            D7
I cover up my face

[Chorus]

Am   Am7
I       do
D7sus4    D7 Am
Love       you
Am7
I do
D7sus4   D7 Am
Love      you

[Interlude]

| Am7 | D7sus4 | D7 Am |
| Am7 | D7sus4 | D7 Am |

[Verse 2]
Am7
And when you play guitar
   D7sus4           D7             Am
I listen to the strings buzz
Am7                            D7sus4             D7     Am
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers
Am7
And when you crochet
          D7sus4                 D7    Am
I feel mesmerized and proud

[Outro]

Am7
And I would say I love you
       D7sus4          D7 Am   C
But saying it out loud is hard
        G/B                 Am7
So I won't say it at all
C        G/B                    Am7
And I won't stay very long
       C           G/B     Am7
But you are life I needed all along
                C                 G/B
I think of you as my brother
Am7
Although that sounds dumb

        C                G/B     Am7
And words are futile devices
