C G
This is what I look like today
Am Em7
And I’m trying not to pull out my hair
F C G
I’m trying hard to grow it ‘cause I’m far too shy to show it back there
C G
That’s probably why I like wearing hats
Am Em7
There’s no denying I’m deferring the facts
F C
Avoiding confrontation lacks tact in a situation
G Em7
Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn
Dm G C Am
But if you ask me, the feeling that I’m feeling is overwhelming
Dm G C
And oh, it goes to show, I’ve so much to know
C G
I wrote this for my prettiest friend
Am Em7
But while trying not to prove that I care
F C G
Trying not to make all my moves in one motion and scare her away
C G
Well she can't see she's making me crazy now
Am Em7
I don't believe she knows she's amazing how
F C
She has me holding my breath, so I’d never guess
G Em7
That I’m a none such unsuitable, suited for her
Dm G C Am
But if you ask me, the feeling that I’m feeling is complimentary
Dm G C Am
And oh, it goes to show, the moral of the story is boy loves girl
Dm G C
And oh-whoa love, the way that it unfolds is yet to be told
Am Em7 F C
I know that I should be brave, ‘cause even pretty can be seen by the blind
Am Em7 F G
I know that I cannot wait, until the day we finally learn how to find each other,
G
Redefining open minds
Dm G C Am
And if you ask me, the feeling that I’m feeling is overjoyed
Dm G
And it's golden; it goes to show then,
C Am
The ending of this song should be left alone
Dm G C
And whoa-oh love, the way it unfolds is yet to be told
