  			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
