And I recognize the handwriting even now

But I go ahead and open it anyhow, yeah
 G+G                BB
and no one's been buying from my roadside stand

I went out into the kitchen

Clear and bright
    G+G             GdimGdim

     C majorC           C7C7
How much I like the way that you dot your i's
