[verse]
F F/E F/D F/C
If I let myself remember
F F/E F/D F/C
I could sink into nostalgia
F F/E F/D F/C
Spend the evening on the carpet
F F/E F/D F/C
By the shelf with the photo albums
Gm C7 F F/E F/D F/C
Think of all the things that I wish I had done with you
[verse]
F F/E F/D F/C
Here’s a box of old letters
F F/E F/D F/C
To prove that things weren’t always better
F F/E F/D F/C
Found a postcard of a lobster
F F/E F/D F/C
You had written your own caption
Gm C7 F F/E F/D F/C
Somehow it said exactly what I wanted you to say to me
Gm C7 F F/E F/D F/C
The world is way too big and perfect for just you and me
[chorus]
Dm A7 Bbmaj7
And I don’t know what else to do
Bbm F C
I will always root for you
[verse]
F F/E F/D F/C
In the heavy summer swelter
F F/E F/D F/C
We left the animal shelter
F F/E F/D F/C
You asked me if I would drive
F F/E F/D F/C
The car never felt so alive
Gm C7 F F/E F/D F/C
And I looked at you with the cat in your lap
Gm C7 F F/E F/D F/C
The greatest thing I’ve ever seen, the cat in your lap.
[chorus]
Dm A7 Bbmaj7
And I don’t know what else to do
Bbm F C
I will always root for you
[instrumental verse]
[verse]
F F/E F/D F/C
You said you like to take pauses
F F/E F/D F/C
You said you like to take pauses
Fmaj7
F F/E F/D F/C
You said you like to take pauses
Gm C7 F F/E F/D F/C
How is it you always know exactly what I want you to say to me?
Gm C7 F F/E F/D F/C
Somehow you always know exactly what I wish you would say to me
F F/E F/D F/C
Say to me.
[chorus]
Dm A7 Bbmaj7
And I don’t know what else to do
Bbm F C
I will always root for you
