Verse 1:

C
If it hadn't been for the sparks in your eyes
  Dm
I wouldn't have sung this song
 C
A cover shouldn't be what you expected to see
      Dm
Held up in the palms of my hands
          C                           Dm
Well surprise, I admire your cheap attempts to keep 'em up again
           C
Don't look too deep, I'm just killing time
            Dm
Before what matters comes around again
