Verse 1:
D MajorD           G+G
Woke up laughing on a hardwood floor
B minorBm         A7A7
Five-story walk ups somewhere in New York
D MajorD         G+G
Still smiling from lying on the roof
   B minorBm                A7A7
Still smiling from opening my eyes and looking at you
     D MajorD              G+G
And if I walk around Brooklyn with my headphones in
B minorBm            A7A7
Hot cup of coffee that I spill when I’m air drumming
    D MajorD            G+G
Will I one day bump into you as if by accident
       B minorBm               A7A7
And see if you want to go somewhere and get a drink

Chrous 1:
        G+G
Cause I’ve been laughing or pretending to laugh
     A7A7      D MajorD
I’ve been crying or pretending to cry
      G+G
But I could stand on this corner
       A7A7
And watch you walk my way
D MajorD
For the rest of my life
     G+G
I’ve been laughing or pretending to laugh
     A7A7      D MajorD
I’ve been crying or pretending to cry
      G+G
But I could stand on this corner
       A7A7
And watch you walk my way
D MajorD         D MajorD G+G B minorBm A7A7
For the rest of my life

Verse 2:
D MajorD            G+G
 It was snowing when we drove back to the city
     B minorBm
Wanted to climb up on your fire escape
  A7A7
And kiss you on your pretty face
D MajorD         G+G
Lying around and I stared into space
   B minorBm             A7A7
Half smiling, half flying, half asleep, half awake
   D MajorD        G+G
And I just really needed you to know
   B minorBm               A7A7
That you don’t have to wait at this snow alone
     D MajorD       G+G
And maybe I’m just a reminder of home
      B minorBm            A7A7
But I still think we made each other feel something good

Chorus 1:
       G+G
And I’ve been laughing or pretending to laugh
     A7A7      D MajorD
I’ve been crying or pretending to cry
      G+G
But I could stand on this corner
       A7A7
And watch you walk my way
D MajorD
For the rest of my life
     G+G
I’ve been laughing or pretending to laugh
     A7A7      D MajorD
I’ve been crying or pretending to cry
      G+G
But I could stand on this corner
       A7A7
And watch you walk my way
D MajorD
For the rest of my life

Chorus 2:
  G+G
And I don’t want to marry you just yet
A7A7         D MajorD
But at least let me get you a cider and
G+G
I don’t even think I’d even have to pay for it
A7A7             D MajorD
Hopefully there’s a couple left on the rider
G+G
Just because I’ve got a lot to learn
     A7A7        D MajorD
Does not mean I am inherently a piece of shit
G+G
Just because I don’t think I know everything
A7A7       D MajorD
Doesn’t mean I don’t know anything
  G+G
And I don’t want to marry you just yet
A7A7             D MajorD
Although It’d probably help with my visa and
G+G
Can we continue having this conversation?
    A7A7          D MajorD
I will go and get us both a Bacardi Breezer
G+G
Just because I’ve got a lot to learn
     A7A7        D MajorD
Does not mean I am inherently a piece of shit
G+G
Just because I don’t think I know everything
A7A7       D MajorD
Doesn’t mean I don’t know anything

G+G
