♫ Intro:

E MajorE G+G A augmentedA


♫ Verse 1:
    A augmentedA
On the on-ramp you said
    G+G                D MajorD
"If you love me, you will listen to this song"
      F# minorF#m        E MajorE
And I could tell that you were serious
  A augmentedA             G+G
So I didn't tell you you were driving the wrong way
    F# minorF#m              D MajorD
On the interstate until the song was done
E MajorE        F# minorF#m  A augmentedA     G+G      E MajorE
You felt like an idiot adding an hour to the drive
               F# minorF#m
But it gave us more time to embarrass ourselves
A augmentedA         F# minorF#m      G+G
Tellin' stories we wouldn't tell anyone else

♫ Chorus:
      F# minorF#m       E MajorE         A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
You said, "I might like you less now that you know me so well"
F# minorF#m       E MajorE         A augmentedA    G+G D MajorD
I might like you less now that you know me so well


♫ Verse 2:
    A augmentedA     G+G        F# minorF#m      D MajorD
Leonard Cohen once said, "There's a crack in everything
        A augmentedA     G+G
That's how the light gets in"
  F# minorF#m     D MajorD         A augmentedA  G+G    E MajorE D MajorD
And I am not an old man having an existential crisis
         A augmentedA       G+G    D MajorD
At a Buddhist monastery writing horny poetry
    F# minorF#m
But I agree


♫ Chorus:
 D MajorD          E MajorE     A augmentedA
I never thought you'd happen to me
 D MajorD          E MajorE     A augmentedA
I never thought you'd happen to me


♫ Outro:
G+G E MajorE D MajorD F# minorF#m
