[Verse]
G
....How I don't know how to sing,
D
I can barely play this thing,
D
But you never seem to mind,
C
And you tell me to fuck off,
C
When I need somebody to,
G
How you make me laugh so hard,
G
How whole years refuse to stay,
D
Where we told them to bad dog,
D
Locked up blindly in a word,
C
Or a misplaced souvenir,
C
How the past chews on your shoes,
G
And these memories lick my ear.
[Chorus]
D
...I know,
Bm C G
You might roll your eyes at this,
D
But I'm so
Bm C
Glad that you exist.
[Verse]
G
How we waste our precious time,
D
Marching in the picket lines,
D
That surround those striking hearts,
C
And the time is never now,
C
And we know who we should love,
G
But we're never certain how.
[Chorus]
D
...I know,
Bm C G
You might roll your eyes at this,
D
But I'm so
Bm C G
Glad that you exist.

...I know,
Bm C G
You might roll your eyes at this,
D
But I'm so
Bm C
Glad that you exist.
