[Intro 1]
[G][C#][D][C#][G][C#][D][C#]

[Verse 1]
[G]Its not the[D] spiritual,
its not the intellec[C#]tual,
[G]Its not the merely pi [C#]tiful,
[D]that makes me feel this way.
[G]Its not the walk that I tak[D]e through
the park to [G]her place,
It's the breath she [D]takes in- between
the words her mouth makes.
[F#m]Oh curse my mind for not ce[D]asing my
mouth when the mo[Bm]ment was [F#m]perfect.
She said [G]'Shut [A]up, wake up,
[Bm]I can smell th[F#m]e coffee why can't[A] you when it[G]s so near',
She said 'Hold it, em[A]brace,
it these [Bm]feelings are [F#m]so real but you [A]just choose to ig[G]nore [A]them.'
[G]More like a sister to [A]me,[D]
when she [C#]was 2[G]3,
She drew a picture [D]of me,
the likeness was uncanny.
[G]We bless the notes in mar[D]gins,
in the books from the libraries,
[G]They tell us what to feel,
[D]how to love and when to heal.
[F#m]Oh curse my mind for not ce[D]asing my mouth
when the mo[Bm]ment was [F#m]perfect.
She [G]said 'Shut [A]up, wake up,
[Bm]I can smell th[F#m]e coffee why can't[A] you when its so[G] near',
She said 'Hold it, em[A]brace,
it these [Bm]feelings are [F#m]so real but you [A]just choose to ig[G]nore them.'
She said 'Screw it, just [A]leave it, the mo[Bm]ment was per[F#m]fect but it w[A]on't be f[G]or much[A][Bm][F#m][A][G]
[A][Bm][F#m][A][G]
longer.' "it' hard for me to leave [A]when you act [Bm]like [F#m]17, did you [A]ever fucking listen when [G]your head was caving in,
you're far too dumb and stu[A]pid to look [Bm]me in the e[F#m]ye , i d[A]on't know why'
