xVerse 1:
A Bm
I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today
E A
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
A Bm
I saw the sickle of your dimple slice the side of her face
E A
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
A Bm
But then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train
D E
Kabuki makeup, a labret ring I kept out of her way
A Bm
You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today
E A
So 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 A
Shake and shiver
Bm A E
And laugh like cursing kids
Dm A
And all our fitful failures
Bm A E
Fit everytime we kiss
A
So cross your fingers, place your bets
Bm
And hold that glow in your face
E A
Let my big mouth ramble on
Interlude
Repeat Chorus
