[Intro]( palm muted) C E Am F 

verse 1 
     C                             E                                  Am 
Last night when I walked into your house I noticed that the couch had moved 
             F 
And I wanted to ask you about it 
             C                              E 
But you were talking so when you finished I opened up my mouth 
        Am                             F 
And you called me out for being bad at listening 
     C                                   E 
So I wrote this song to tell ya just how well that I can listen 
    Am                               F 
And that I think that you are really cute 
       C                                  E 
And I thought that maybe I should wait to tell you that I like you but 
Am                               F 
I don't really have that much to lose 


[Refrão]
 
C                                        E 
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar 
         Am                               F 
and I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your attention 
    C                                        E                                Am 
and I don't know your favorite song but it's probably by Mars Volta cause you said you really like them when 
   F            F (take middle finger off so B string is open) 
we talked and I listened 
              C E Am F 
yeah I listened 

verse 2 
        C                            E                            Am              F 
so this morning when I woke up in my bed I made a list of all the things you told me last night that I had 
F 
inside my head 
          C                               E 
like that yellow is your favorite because it's a happy color 
         Am                       F 
and that you have been sad for as long as you remember 
             C                                E                               Am 
and that the way your kitchen looked made you upset because it was a mess and that's the way things look when 
        F 
you're depressed 
        C               E            Am                F                    C     E 
and you sat across the room on that rocking chair you said you hate cause it is so loud and I wished that you 
    Am          F         C    C E Am F 
had sat next to me on the couch 

BRIDGE (notes picked instead of strummed) 
        C                E           Am 
And I'm scared that this list is too long 
             F             C             E 
That I can't fit all these things into a song 
    Am              F 
And still keep your attention 
       C              E            Am                      F                C 
So I'm trying hard to mention some important things that I feel will really demonstrate 
         E           Am        F 
Just how well that I listened 
     C                 E             Am            F               C            E 
Like how you said with tears in your eyes that you wish that being grateful was enough to keep you from 
Am          F 
feeling sad all the time 
    C                   E          Am 
And that your favorite flowers are impatiens 
    F             C                 E 
And that when you love somebody you wait 
Am            F 
Patiently for them 
    C                  E            Am         F 
And that your favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption 
          C             E                 Am             F 
And that serenity means listening to the water down at Tucquan Glenn 
           C           E                  Am             F 
And how you make poor decisions with the people that you choose to date 

(Strum chords once and hold) 
            C                 E                      Am                    F                  C 
And you'll probably think I'm crazy for this and I'd tell you that I don't give a shit but that would be a lie 
          E 
because I care 
Am             F 
What you think about me 
           C       E                   Am           F 
And I just really, desperately want to be your next poor decision 
F (take middle finger off so B string is open) 
Be your next poor decision 
F (take middle finger off so B string is open) 
Be your next poor decision 


[Refrão]
 
    C                   E                Am            F 
And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar 
          C               E                Am               F 
And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your affection and 
C                 E                    Am               F 
I don't know your favorite song but it might be by Mars Volta 
          C               E                  Am     F 
Cause you said you really liked them when we talked 
F (take middle finger off so B string is open) 
And I listened 
              C 
Yea, I listened
