Verse
Bbm7
It's been a long, long time
Bbm7/Eb Eb
Since I've memorized your face
Bbm7
It's been four hours now
Bbm7/Eb Eb
Since I've wandered through your place
Bbm7
And when I sleep on your couch
Bbm7/Eb Eb
I feel very safe
Bbm7
And when you bring the blankets
Bbm7/Eb Eb
I cover up my face
Chorus
Bbm7
I do
Ab Eb
Love you
Bbm7
I do
Ab Eb
Love you
Verse
Bbm7
And when you play guitar
Bbm7/Eb Eb
I listen to the strings buzz
Bbm7 Bbm7/Eb Eb
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers
Bbm7
And when you crochet
Bbm7/Eb Eb
I feel mesmerized and proud
Bbm7
And I would say I love you
Bbm7/Eb Eb
But saying it out loud is hard
Outro
Bbm7 Bbm7/Eb Eb
So I won't say it at all
Bbm7 Fm7 Eb
And I won't stay very long
Bbm7 Ab/F Eb
But you are life I needed all along
Bbm7
I think of you as my brother
Ab/F Eb
Although that sounds dumb
Bbm7 Ab/F Eb
And words are futile devices
