at the academic conference Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]There was som[Em]ething in the air[A]
Yes, I [D]could smell it
Smart [Em]people everywhere
[A]But do they know [D]what love is?
Oh no, out of the [G]corner of my [Gm]eye
I [G]saw an [D]ordinary
PowerPoint slide
And I [G]saw her standing [C]there
And I [A]fell in love
At the academ[Em]ic conference
[A]Though I couldn't buy a [F#m]car, but I[D] us[Bm]ed to tell her that I lo[Em]ve her,
and I [A]do, you know that I [D]do.[G][Em][A][D]
Joyce,
[Em]Whitman, and
Camus
[A]Well, no, I've nev[D]er read them
I'm [Em]here just for the blues
[A]Although I'm not [D]that dim
So you've [G]got your nice de[Gm]gree,
but [G]could you [D]ever love somebody like me?
I guess [G]I'll wonder for a [C]while,
cause I [A]fell in love
At the academ[Em]ic co[A]nference, though I couldn't find a c[F#m]onference to[Bm] tell her that I lov[Em]e her,
and I [A]do, you know that I [D]do.
[G]Well [D]my [Bm]dear I must confess, I found [F#m]your email address,
[D]whi[F#m]le searching on the in[Em]ternet.
And I'm [G]writing to ask,
did you for[Gm]get me?
Please don't forget me cause
[A]I'm,
Barely know
At the [Em]academic conference
[A]Though I couldn't find a job[F#m]
But [Bm]I'm
Since I knew that I [Em]love her
And I [A]do
You know that I [D]do
[Bm]Do
[G]Do[A][Gm][D]
you
