Db A E Db

          Db          A 
Kiss the nape, of my back
            E            (Db)
And lay me down in the silence.
           Db               A
I like the way you take me out
         E             F#m 
Halfway in, turns to violence.


   A
I love you
E
Young blind and dumb
         A
And you love me
E
Upside and down
F#m              A             Db        A
Still darling, still we can be 17

 
               Db            A 
Feels like the day, that we met
              E            (Db)
The bite of frost, on the sidewalk
             Db                 A
The morning glare, the nervous calm
              E                 F#m
The need to touch, the fear to talk
 

      A
Oh I love you
E
Young blind and dumb
         A
And you love me
E
Upside and down
 A        E
Love you, young blind and dumb
         A        E
And you love me, upside and down
F#m            A               Db       A         E
Still darling, still we can be 17
 

             Db          A
Grandfather talks, fire pops
            E           (Db)
The floor creaks, in a chorus
             Db                  A
How was your day? I missed your face
            E                  F#m
But I light up when that door opens
 

           Db                   A
I hate Wisconsin; the heater's broken
           E            (Db)  
I miss my home on the Pacific
               Db                     A
But I'll push through it, we all get homesick
             E                     F#m
But this is home now, 'cause you're in it.
 

       A            E
And I love you..
     A            E
You love me..
 

   A         E
I love you, young blind and dumb
         A        E
And you love, me upside and down
 A         E
Love you, young blind and dumb
         A         E
And you love me, upside and down
 F#m            A           Db          A
Still darling, still we can be...
 F#m           A           E
Still darling, we can be seventeen.
