G
She keeps it simple
C
And I am thankful for her kind of lovin'
G
'Cause it's simple
G
No longer do we wonder if we're together
C
We're way past that
G
And I've already asked her
D C G
So in January we're gettin' married
G
She's talkin' to me with her voice
C
Down so low I barely hear her
G
But I know what she's sayin'
C G
I understand because my heart and hers are the same
D C G
And in January we're gettin' married
G
And I was sick with heartache
C G
And she was sick like Audrey Hepburn when I met her
G
But we would both surrender
C G
True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down
Am C
Don't ever turn it down
G
I hope that I don't sound to insane when I say
C G
There is darkness all around us
G C
I don't feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me
G C G
And reconnect me to the beauty that I'm missin'
D C
And in January we're gettin' married
G C
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in
G
She knows which birds are singin'
C G
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin
D C
And in January we're gettin' married
D C G
Come January let's get married

So Ill scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
*Intro once more, just once*

Theres a darkness upon you thats flooded in light

And it flies by day and it flies by night

You took my hand and held it up

and shot my arm full of love

Tabbed By: Dvphilisophe & Jamuel24 (arranged to lyrics by Macheeoo)
(This tab has two guitars playing, one in standard Capo 2 and the other
standard Capo 7. () = Capo 7 Chord)
D(G) C(F)
Ten thousand words swarm around my head
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
D(G) C(F) G(C)
I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Still can't find out how to hold my hands
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And I know you need me in the next room over
D(G) C(F) G(C)
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
D(G) C(F)
For months I got myself in ruts
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don't know about
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don't know about
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And says I'm too caught up
D(G) C(F)
They say young is good and old is fine
G(C)
And truth is cool but all that matters
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Is that you have your good times
D(G) C(F)
But their good times come with prices
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
D(G) C(F) G(C)
At anyone's expese except their own
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don't know about
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don't know about
D(G) C(F)
And after we are through ten years
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
Of making it to be the most of glorious day dues
D(G) C(F)
I'll come back home without my things
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And they'll be quick to point out our short-commings
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And how the experts all have had their doubts
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don't know about

G - (Riff 1)
What did you expect
And what did you forget
That to live you let go of me with each step
It becomes a progression I won't let regret manifest
To aggression
Are you to assess what I've been? What I am? Or become?
Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb
It can be to
Attack those around 'cause you're
G - (Riff 2)
True to color, a town, a time, or a place?
It's not you, it's not mine
And besides it is gone
And you never will find it again
But I don't want to fight
I just ask let me be
I won't give the chance to be my enemy
So go home
Think it through
A jet plane and a big idea
C D G
I jump over the sea
What ifs hot on my trail
C D G
But that can't catch me, no

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed
