D Em7/Bb
I just remembered that time at the market
Bm7 Am7 D11 G
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
A7add11 G/B Em11
And rode down aisle five
D Em7/Bb
you looked behind you to smile back at me
Bm7 Am7 D11 G
crashed into a rack full of magazines
A7add11 G/B Em11 D
they asked us if we could leave
-leave

VERSE:

I sleep with this new girl I’m still getting used to
My friends all approve, say “she’s gonna be good for you”
They throw me high fives
She says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty
PRE-CHORUS:
----------
Life of the party
And she swears that she’s artsy
But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane

Is just dumb, dumb, stupid luck
A technicality
You will always be ahead of me

Practice on you
Why i have to
Practice on your heart
