Verse 1:
      D MajorD
The moon is high
                        D MajorD
Like your friends were the night that we first met
                  D MajorD  A augmentedA  B minorBm
Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet
                     A augmentedA
Now I've read all of the books beside your bed

      D MajorD
The wine is cold
                     D MajorD
Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street
               D MajorD  A augmentedA B minorBm
Cat and mouse for a month or two or three
                    A augmentedA
Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe


Pre-Chorus 1:
 D MajorD
(Ay!) Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night
 D MajorD                    D MajorD A augmentedA
(Oh!) Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
 B minorBm
(Uh!) Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life
 A augmentedA N.C.
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)


Chorus 1:
D MajorD
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
  G+G           A augmentedA
Uh-huh, that's right, darling, you're the one I want
  D MajorD
And I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
  G+G           A augmentedA
Uh-huh, that's right, darling, you're the one I want

Post-Chorus 1:
  D MajorD               D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
  A augmentedA
Ah-oh, you're the one I want


Verse 2:
D MajorD
 In the winter in the icy outdoor pool
                 A augmentedA B minorBm
When you jumped in first, I went in too
                A augmentedA
I'm with you even if it makes me blue

        D MajorD
Which takes me back

To the color that we painted your brother's wall
                  A augmentedA  B minorBm
Honey, without all the exes, fights and flaws
                A augmentedA
We wouldn't be standing here so proud, so


Pre-Chorus 2:
 D MajorD
(Ay!) Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night
 D MajorD                    D MajorD A augmentedA
(Oh!) Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
 B minorBm
(Uh!) Three times 'cause I've waited my whole life
 N.C.
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)
    Ahhh

  D MajorD
And I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
  G+G           A augmentedA
Uh-huh, that's right, darling, you're the one I want


Post-Chorus 2:
  D MajorD               D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
  A augmentedA
Ah-oh, you're the one I want


Bridge:
E MajorE
 I want to drive away with you
             A augmentedA
I want your complications too

I want your dreary Mondays
BB               E MajorE
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy

In paper rings, in picture frames, in all my dreams

 You're the one I want, the one I want
