Knapsack chords by Amy Rigby

Chords with lyrics

[Verse]

E MajorE       D MajorD
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E MajorE            D MajorD
It was a bookstore where I'd never been before
E MajorE          D MajorD
I wasn't looking for anything more than a book
E MajorE          D MajorD
But I looked, isn't that what eyes are for
E MajorE           D MajorD
Studied biographies, I checked out the magazines
E MajorE            D MajorD
My mind kept leading me back to his face
     E MajorE             D MajorD
I'd seen something about him that made me feel 17
E MajorE            D MajorD
Stop, so I'm not, isn't that what minds are for

[Chorus]

E MajorE           D MajorD
Now every day I can't wait to see him
E MajorE   D MajorD
Don't ask me his name
E MajorE           D MajorD
But every day I hand him my bag and
E MajorE            D MajorD
Everything remains the same


[Verse]

E MajorE             D MajorD
He took my knapsack and his fingers brushed my wrist
E MajorE            D MajorD
Gave me a number but it wasn't even his
E MajorE            D MajorD
I crossed another novel off of my reading list
E MajorE             D MajorD
Wished to be kissed isn't that what lips are for
E MajorE             D MajorD
Thinking about him when I'm on my way to work
E MajorE            D MajorD
All these men in suits they look too perfect
E MajorE             D MajorD
And I want to tell him I'm not just some soulless jerk
E MajorE             D MajorD
Hey, I got a band I understand what life is for

[Chorus]

E MajorE           D MajorD
Now every day I can't wait to see him
E MajorE         D MajorD
Don't ask me his name
E MajorE          D MajorD
But every day I hand him my bag and
E MajorE           D MajorD
Everything remains the same


[Verse]

E MajorE             D MajorD
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E MajorE             D MajorD
Wanted to tell him that I can't see him anymore
E MajorE          D MajorD
Got a new job in a different part of town
E MajorE            D MajorD
Fired and rehired isn't that what work is for
E MajorE              D MajorD
He smiled right at me but I couldn't meet his eye
E MajorE              D MajorD
All I could look at was the palm tree on his tie
E MajorE             D MajorD
I'll think about him when I go to bed at night
E MajorE            D MajorD
Deep in my sleep isn't that what dreams are for


[Outro]

E MajorE             D MajorD
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E MajorE             D MajorD
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E MajorE             D MajorD
He took my knapsack
