[Intro/ verses / chorus] C E Am F

[Intro](palm muted) C E Am F

[Verse 1]
   C               E                 Am
Last night when I walked into your house I noticed that the couch had moved
       F
And I wanted to ask you about it
       C               E
But you were talking so when you finished I opened up my mouth
    Am               F
And you called me out for being bad at listening
   C                  E
So I wrote this song to tell ya just how well that I can listen
  Am                F
And that I think that you are really cute
    C                 E
And I thought that maybe I should wait to tell you that I like you but
Am                F
I don't really have that much to lose

[Chorus](strummed):
C                    E
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar
     Am                F
and I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your attention
  C                    E                Am
and I don't know your favorite song but it's probably by Mars Volta cause you said you really like them when
  F      F (take middle finger off so B string is open)
we talked and I listened
       C E Am F
yeah I listened

[Verse 2]
    C              E              Am       F
so this morning when I woke up in my bed I made a list of all the things you told me last night that I had
F
inside my head
     C                E
like that yellow is your favorite because it's a happy color
     Am            F
and that you have been sad for as long as you remember
       C                E                Am
and that the way your kitchen looked made you upset because it was a mess and that's the way things look when
    F
you're depressed
    C        E      Am        F          C   E
and you sat across the room on that rocking chair you said you hate cause it is so loud and I wished that you
  Am     F     C  C E Am F
had sat next to me on the couch

[BRIDGE] (notes picked instead of strummed)
    C        E      Am
And I'm scared that this list is too long
       F       C       E
That I can't fit all these things into a song
  Am       F
And still keep your attention
    C       E      Am           F        C
So I'm trying hard to mention some important things that I feel will really demonstrate
     E      Am    F
Just how well that I listened
   C         E       Am      F        C      E
Like how you said with tears in your eyes that you wish that being grateful was enough to keep you from
Am     F
feeling sad all the time
  C          E     Am
And that your favorite flowers are impatiens
  F       C         E
And that when you love somebody you wait
Am      F
Patiently for them
  C         E      Am     F
And that your favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption
     C       E         Am       F
And that serenity means listening to the water down at Tucquan Glenn
      C      E         Am       F
And how you make poor decisions with the people that you choose to date

(Strum chords once and hold)
      C         E           Am          F         C
And you'll probably think I'm crazy for this and I'd tell you that I don't give a shit but that would be a lie
     E
because I care
Am       F
What you think about me
      C    E          Am      F
And I just really, desperately want to be your next poor decision
F (take middle finger off so B string is open)
Be your next poor decision
F (take middle finger off so B string is open)
Be your next poor decision

[Chorus]
  C          E        Am      F
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar
     C        E        Am        F
And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your affection and
C         E          Am        F
I don't know your favorite song but it might be by Mars Volta
     C        E         Am   F
Cause you said you really liked them when we talked
F (take middle finger off so B string is open)
And I listened
       C
