Intro G    C    G    C    G    C    G    D 

Verse 

G          C 
My crooked teeth 
              G     C 
Your polished shoes 
G        C 
My weary head 
           G     D 
Your lousy tunes 

Pre-Chorus 
Em           C            G 
I don't know why I do the things I do 
    D           C 
I'm all bad news 


    Em               G  
And we don't look as sharp as we should 
        C 
But the squeaking of my shoes 
Will lead me back to you 
    Em            G 
And everyday it's not the same 
        C 
But the sparkle in your eye 
Light up the life in me 


Intro 

verse 2 
 
G               C               G    C       
And when we age we'll watch the loons 
G               C                   G    D  
We'll look back just like old folks do 

Pre-Chorus 2
 
Em            C          G     D 
We're like an arrow in a bow 
Em          C                     G    D 
The far you stretch it the far it goes 


    Em               G 
And we won't look as sharp as we should 
    C 
But we'll see the world together 
Like we're meant to do 
    Em              G 
And in the end I'll hold your hand 
       C 
And as clear as day we'll both understand 
       Em                      G          C 
And as clear as day we'll both understand
