[Verse 1]
 
Am7
It's been a long, long time
            D7sus4         D7   Am
Since I've memorized your face
Am7
It's been four hours now
            D7sus4                D7   Am
Since I've wandered through your place
Am7
And when I sleep on your couch
D7sus4       D7   Am
I feel very safe
Am7
And when you bring the blankets
  D7sus4       D7
I cover up my face
 
[Chorus]
 
  Am       Am7
  I        do
D7sus4    D7   Am
 Love     you
 Am7
  I       do
D7sus4    D7   Am
 Love     you
 
[Interlude]
 
| Am7 | D7sus4 | D7 Am |
| Am7 | D7sus4 | D7 Am |
 
[Verse 2]
Am7
And when you play guitar
  D7sus4          D7         Am
I listen to the strings buzz
Am7                    D7sus4        D7     Am
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers
Am7
And when you crochet
       D7sus4          D7    Am
I feel mesmerized and proud
 
[Outro]
 
Am7
And I would say I love you
    D7sus4         D7 Am    C
But saying it out loud  is hard
     G/B             Am7
So I won't say it at all
 C    G/B             Am7
And I won't stay very long
     C      G/B      Am7
But you are life I needed all along
            C         G/B
I think of you as my brother
 Am7
Although that sounds dumb
 
     C         G/B    Am7
And words are futile devices
