A Laptop Like You
Jonathan Coulton
D G/B Cadd9 x 4
Verse 1
D G/B Cadd9
Here you are at last
D G/B Cadd9
To bring my cold lonely soul sweet release
D G/B Cadd9
From my weary past
D G/B Cadd9 G
Always searching, the one missing piece was you
D Dsus4 D
And I beg you, come away with me
G D D/C# Bm A E
And together we will find a place to call our own
G A7sus4 D
I can’t wait to see what I can do With a laptop like you
D G/B Cadd9 x 4
Verse 2
D G/B Cadd9
It’s not your CD slot
D G/B Cadd9
Or the Unix on which you are based
D G/B Cadd9
You make my lap hot
D G/B Cadd9 G
Cause underneath your aluminum case there’s love
D Dsus4 D
And I forgive your strange one-button mouse
G D D/C# Bm A E
I forgive the way your keyboard leaves marks on your screen
G A7sus4 D
I can overlook a fault or two For a laptop like you
Bridge Lead In
D G/B Cadd9 D Dsus4 D
Bridge
Am7 D Dsus4 D
We will always be together
Am7 D Dsus4 D
In love in spite of everything
B7 Em
Hang on tight through wind and weather
A7 Dadd4/A A7
Heaven knows what time may bring
D G/B Cadd9 x4
Verse 3
D G/B Cadd9
In a year or two
D G/B Cadd9
You will seem big and heavy and slow
D G/B Cadd9
I will carry you
D G/B Cadd9 G
To wherever it is laptops go to die
D Dsus4 D
And don't think it won't be hard on me
G D D/C# Bm A E
How'm I ever gonna find a way to justify
G A7sus4
The money I will spend on something new
D G/B Cadd9 D G/B Cadd9
For a laptop like you
D G/B Cadd9 D
For a laptop like you
