Verse 1:
E MajorE A augmentedA
Cue the music, let it build
E MajorE A augmentedA
the melancholy soundtrack of a summer indie film
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm the quirky, unconventional leading guy
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
I say stupid garbage no one’s ever said in their real life

BB A augmentedA
cause you told me not to hold it waiting for you to commit"

Slow Burn, Slow Burn ‘cause it’s the only light I know
A augmentedA BB A augmentedA E MajorE
while there’s hope for you and me, I burn real slow
Verse 2:
E MajorE A augmentedA
So let’s stay home tonight my love
E MajorE A augmentedA
I don't like crowded rooms or the silly folk that fill them up
E MajorE A augmentedA
my introversion's not a charming trait
E MajorE A augmentedA
my wits not good for much but thinking up useless stuff to say
BB A augmentedA
Like "My hopes are sleeping quietly in bed
BB A augmentedA
cause you told me not to get them up dreamin’ one day you'd commit!"

I've loved her so long and I can't quite remember
E MajorE A augmentedA
that all of my eggs in her basket won't hatch
BB A augmentedA
but I've counted each one and now I want 'em all back!
