Verse:
G                       Bm11
i can't explain it i'm afraid of noise

A74                   C
and all this time still afraid of boys

G         
it's in the winter

Bm11
it's in my head

A74
well don't look now

C
i think it's under my bed


Chorus:
       G                    Bm11
and we drop drop tears like tallymarks

      A74                   C
and it builds like snow and it keeps us apart

      G                    Bm11
and i drop drop tears like tallymarks

      A74               C
and i'm keeping score so i keep us apart

Bm7           Am                      G
but i think i might miss you enough to say so

  Bm7      Am   G
and i think i already did

      Bm7      Am                      G
well i think i might miss you enough to say so

Bm7        Am              G
there you go i just said it again

that same winter my old man made tracks
and i did too but i came back
so don't don't don't explain love to me
love love love is not why we leave
it is real life dreams, make-believe people
you can't build cathedrals out of finger steeples

and we drop drop tears like tallymarks
and it builds like snow and it keeps us apart
and i drop drop tears like tallymarks
and i'm keeping score so i keep us apart

but i think i might miss you enough to say so
and i think i already did
well i think i might miss you enough to say so
there you go i just said it again
there you go i just said it again

G         Bm11             A74    C
steady on steady on steady on my mind
steady on my mind
steady on steady on steady on my mind
steady on my mind
surely surely i
surely surely i want love just as bad as the next
but deeper down in my, deeper down in my bones
is where it sets
