Knapsack chords by Amy Rigby

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

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


[Outro]

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