Verse 1:
             A (x02220@1)                           BmI (x24432@1)saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today
        E (022100@1)             AAnd (x02220@1)my heart leapt, my heart leapt 
           A (x02220@1)                            BmI (x24432@1)saw the sickle of your dimple slice the side of her face 
        E (022100@1)             AAnd (x02220@1)my heart leapt, my heart leapt 
              A (x02220@1)                                BmBut (x24432@1)then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train
        D (xx0232@1)                          EKabuki (022100@1)makeup, a labret ring I kept out of her way
                 A (x02220@1)                             BmYou're (x24432@1)not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today
       E (022100@1)                ASo (x02220@1)my heart keeps leapin' 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 (xx0231@1)       AShake (x02220@1)and shiver 
     Bm (x24432@1)       A (x02220@1)     EAnd (022100@1)laugh like cursing kids 
             Dm (xx0231@1)    AAnd (x02220@1)all our fitful failures 
     Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1)     EFit (022100@1)everytime we kiss
                A (x02220@1)              
So cross your fingers, place your bets 
               BmAnd (x24432@1)hold that glow in your face
       E (022100@1)              A (x02220@1)  
Let my big mouth ramble on
