[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
