Verse 1:
I saw your fr[A]eckles on the shoulders of a s[Bm]tranger today
And my h[E]eart leapt, my h[A]eart leapt
I saw the s[A]ickle of your dimple slice the [Bm]side of her face
And my h[E]eart leapt, my h[A]eart leapt
But then she f[A]aced me while we wrestled for our p[Bm]lace on the train
Kabuki m[D]akeup, a labret ring I kept o[E]ut of her way
You're not that a[A]ctress playing dress-up on the s[Bm]ubway today
So my h[E]eart keeps leapin' [A]on
Verse 2:
I tried to catch you in a couplet on my 4-track today
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied
I couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of the tape
So my tongue tied, my tongue tied
The words are small and insignificant,confused and cliche
I saw my promise and potential through my guilt and my shame
I couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best goddamn day
My tied tongue tumbles on
Chorus:
[Dm]Shake and s[A]hiver
And l[Bm]augh like c[A]ursing k[E]ids
And all our f[Dm]itful fa[A]ilures
Fit e[Bm]veryt[A]ime we k[E]iss
So cross your fi[A]ngers, place your bets
And hold that g[Bm]low in your face
Let my [E]big mouth ramble [A]on
Interlude
Repeat Chorus
