I just remembered that time at the market

Bm7                      Am7          D11    G
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart

       A7add11    G/B    Em11
And      rode     down       aisle five

D                       Em7/Bb
you looked behind you to smile back at me

Bm7             Am7        D11   G
crashed into a rack full of magazines

       A7add11     G/B   Em11              D
they     asked      us       if we could leave

VERSE:
-----
I sleep with this new girl I?m still getting used to
My friends all approve, say ?she?s gonna be good for you?
They throw me high fives
She says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty

And she swears that she?s artsy
But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane

A technicality
You will always be ahead of me

Practice on you
Why i have to
Practice on your heart
