[Intro](palm muted) C majorC E MajorE A minorAm FF

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

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

[Verse 2]
    C majorC              E MajorE              A minorAm       FF
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
FF
inside my head
     C majorC                E MajorE
like that yellow is your favorite because it's a happy color
     A minorAm            FF
and that you have been sad for as long as you remember
       C majorC                E MajorE                A minorAm
and that the way your kitchen looked made you upset because it was a mess and that's the way things look when
    FF
you're depressed
    C majorC        E MajorE      A minorAm        FF          C majorC   E MajorE
and you sat across the room on that rocking chair you said you hate cause it is so loud and I wished that you
  A minorAm     FF     C majorC  C majorC E MajorE A minorAm FF
had sat next to me on the couch

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

(Strum chords once and hold)
      C majorC         E MajorE           A minorAm          FF         C majorC
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 MajorE
because I care
A minorAm       FF
What you think about me
      C majorC    E MajorE          A minorAm      FF
And I just really, desperately want to be your next poor decision
FF (take middle finger off so BB string is open)
Be your next poor decision
FF (take middle finger off so BB string is open)
Be your next poor decision

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