C                           G 
Well I though that this might be a good way to start 
       Am                         F 
Though we've never spoken, you've broken my heart 
  C             G         Am           F   C   G 
I love you like gunpowder loves a good spark 

  C                           G 
I walked by your house almost every day 
  Am                           F 
I shoveled your sidewalk while you were away 
    C           G         Am           F   C   G 
I'd talk to you if I knew what I would say 

     F       G 
I'll take my time 
C         Em7         Am 
Patiently holding the line 
    F              G 
And on the perfect night 
C                        E7 
All those words suddenly flow like water out of me 
F                           G                 C   G 
Fill your ears and lovingly flood your heart 

  C                            G 
I watched as your lover looked over your charms 
  Am                        F 
I watched as he promised to never do harm 
       C             G            Am          F   C   G 
Then I watched as he drew himself out of your arms 

  C                  G 
I sent you a letter anonymously 
    Am                      F 
Whispered to your bartender that one's on me 
         C              G             Am         F   C   G 
When you slipped in the subway I held on to your sleeve 

               F                       G 
'Cause there's nothing that I'd rather do 
           C         Em7         Am 
'Cause for me it has always been you 
   F              G 
So when I get the cue 
C                        E7 
All those words suddenly flow like water out of me 
F                           G                 C   G 
Fill your ears and lovingly flood your heart 

C G Am F

     F       G 
I'll take my time 
C         Em7         Am 
Patiently holding the line 
    F               G 
But when I make you mine 
C                        E7 
All those words suddenly flow like water out of me 
F                           G 
Fill your ears and lovingly flood your heart 

C                        G 
All those words suddenly flow like water out of me 
F                           G 
Fill your ears and lovingly flood your heart
