[Intro]
G C x2
[Verse]
G
I was heading to the bus stop Matty
C
You were reading in your room, holed up all day
G
You picked me up in a brand new Audi
C
And said "she bought it for herself on mother's day".
[Bridge]
G Am
Then we hum along to some familiar tune
G Am
"I like women and songs", you said "it's from volume two".
[Chorus]
C Em
Then you give me one, another you just finished.
Am G
You're my library, always open for business.
C Em
You never show it, you're just sitting with it.
Am G
But I know the score, and you're killing it.
C Em
Line after line, when you're taking it in.
Am G C Em
Time after time, when you try to fit in to some white shoes,
Am
Or a blue collar
[Verse]
G
We listened to your choice for the first 10 seconds
C
I turned the dial and it turned your expression,
G
I said "now haven't you learned your last lesson?"
C
I try to understand but I just don't get it.
[Bridge]
G Am
Then we hum along all from memory,
G Am
"I like women and songs", you said "it's from volume three".
[Chorus]
C Em
Then you give me one, another you just finished.
Am G
You're my library, always open for business.
C Em
You never show it, you're just sitting with it.
Am G
But I know the score, and you're killing it
C Em
Line after line, when you're taking it in.
Am G C Em
Time after time, when you try to fit in to some white shoes,
Am G
Or a blue collar,
C Em
Is it your white shoes,
Am
Or a blue collar.
[Verse]
Em Am
Take me to the bus stop Matty, drive me back to Hamilton.
G C
You talk about your step dad funny, you sound just like your father's son.
Em Am
In '98 he liberated every latin rhythm.
G C
He never used to play it cause she could never stand to listen.
[Chorus]
G C
Ouu ouu ouu ouuuuu.
G C
Ouu ouu ouu ouuuuu.
G
Then you give me one, another you just finished.
C
You're my library 0uu ouu ouu ouuuuu,

But you never show it, you're just sitting with it.
