[Verse 1]
Am7It's been a long, long time
Since I've mD7sus4emorized your fD7ace Am
Am7It's been four hours now
Since I've wD7sus4andered through your pD7lace Am
Am7And when I sleep on your couch
D7sus4I feel very sD7afe Am
Am7And when you bring the blankets
I D7sus4cover up my fD7ace
[Chorus]
AmI Am7do
D7sus4 Love D7you Am
Am7 I do
D7sus4 Love D7you Am
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am7And when you play guitar
I D7sus4listen to the stD7rings buzz Am
Am7The metal vibrates undeD7sus4rneath your fiD7ngers Am
Am7And when you crochet
I feel D7sus4mesmerized and pD7roud Am
[Outro]
Am7And I would say I love you
But D7sus4saying it out lD7oudAm is hCard
So I G/Bwon't say it at Am7all
ACnd I G/Bwon't stay very Am7long
But yCou are G/Blife I neAm7eded all along
I think of yCou as my bG/Brother
AAm7lthough that sounds dumb
And wCords are fG/Butile dAm7evices
