DTuesday morninCg, 8:15
I was Driding to work on the
GJackson Park ExFpress
DSeemed like any Cother day
DThen my whole world changed
GIn a way I Fnever could have Aguessed
Cause she walked Gin, oh oh oh oh oh
ATook the seat right aCcross the Gaisle
AI knew we had a Gspecial connection
AThe second I Csaw her smile
GShe smiled as Aif to say
"DHello, haven't A/C#seen you on this Bmbus before"
GI gave her a Alook that said
"Huh, Dlife is A/C#funny, you Bmnever know Bm7what's in Emstore
By the Gway, your hair is Abeautiful
I bet it smells like CraisDins"
GShe looked at Cme in a way that Dasked
"Did you have a nose job or Bmsomething?
CI'm only Gasking, cause your Cnose looks GslightCly Bbbetter
Than the Arest of your face"
AmI arched my Geyebrow, ever so Fslightly
Which was my way of askingA G A
D"Do you D/Cwant my D/Bold Hewlett-D/APackard Gprinter?
It still works, GkiFnda
DAnd I D/Cgot a D/Bbunch of ink D/Acartridges Gleft"E
AThen, she let out a Dlong Asigh
GWhich, I took to Amean, "Uh"
"Mama, DWhat is that Gdeodorant you're Awearing?
AIt's intoxicating
DWhy don't we Gdrive out to the Ecountry somF#etime?
And colGlect deer ticks Ain a zip-lock GbagG/F#gie", G/EOh yeahD
F# F#7
BmI gave her a Gpenetrating Dstare
F#Which could only mean
D"You are my GansDwer, my answer to GeveryDthing
Which is Fwhy, I'll probably Cdo very poorly
On the Gwritten part of my Ddriver's test"
C G A D
DYes, it all happened
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
D C D
AI knew she was Gstarting to fall for me
ACause she crinkled her nose, which unmistakably Dmeant
D"Baby, lets Cwear each other's Bbclothes
And speak in a Afake German accent
And, Bbmaybe someday we can Fown and CoperaDmte
DmOur own Bbmobile pet-Cgrooming Fservice"A
DmI couldn't hold Bbback my feelings
I Fgave her a look that CsaidDm
Eb"I would make any Bbsacrifice for your Flove
FGoat, chicken, whatever
EbI could never Bbhold you close Fenough
FLet's have our bodies surgically grafted toEbgethBber
FOh, surgically grafted together"
GbShe picked up her Abnewspaper, and started Fmreading to Bbmherself
Which I'm Bsure, was a F#way of G#telling me
C#"When you're Bcold, I will warm you
C#When you're Bshivering, I will hold you
C#When you’rBe nauseous, I will give yoF#u Pepto-Bismol every hour
F#For as long as the symptoms perEsist"
COh, GI, I never, Dever want to see you Bcry
EmSo, Cplease let me Gcauterize your Dtear ducts with an Carc welder
GThen, I glanced Ddown, at her Ashirt, for a F#second
BmIn a Gway that clearly Dimplied
A"I like your boobs”G D
C G A D
DYes, it all happened
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
On the CJackson GPark DExpress
D C D
FI cleared my throat Gquietly, and Emthen, I looked Amaway
And I'm Bbsure it was obvious to her, just what FI was trying to Csay
I was trying to say, Eb"Hey
I'd like to Bbmake a wall-sized Fmural out of Call the dead skin Ebcells
That you Bbslough off while you Fsleep at night"
Whoa-o-Oh, "I'd like to Ebrip you wide BbopenF
FAnd Cfrench-kiss every Ebsingle one of Bbyour internal Forgans
Oh, I'd like to Ebremove all your Bbskin, and wear yFour skin, over my own skin
EbBut Bbnot in a creepy way"F
Then, I'm Abpretty sure, she Eblooked at me, out of the Bbcorner of her Fgood eye
And, Abthough, she never Ebspoke a word, this is Fexactly what I Bbheard
She was saying, "EbOh!
I wanna make About with you, in an abDbandoned Abtoll-booth,
In the Dbmiddle Abof a monEbsoon
I wanna ride Abdolphins with you, in the DbmoonlAbight
Until the Dbstaff at AbSea World kicks us Ebout
I want you iAbnside me, DbohAb, like a Ebtapeworm"
EI pointed to the Aside of my mouth, as a Bway of indiG#cating
A"Hey, I Ethink you got something on the Bside of your mouth"
G#She licked the C#mcorner of heC#m/Br lips, as Aif to say
"Here?", E/G#I nodded, B/Aimplying, "Yeah, you Egot it"
And, then the Abus Estopped, at B53rd Street, and she G#got up suddC#menly
"Where are you AgoinEg?” Bpleaded my eyes,
"Baby, G#don't you do this to C#mme
CThink of the beautiful Gchildren we could Dhave someCday
We could school them at Ghome, Raise them Dup the right Emway
And proFtect them from the evils of the Cworld
Like TrigoB7nometry and Prime EmNumbers, Coh oh Gno
Baby, Dplease don't Ggo"
AmShe brushed my Cleg, as she left the Ambus
AmI'm sure that was her way of saying
G"I'm sorry this G7just isn't working Cout
You're Dsuffocating me
GI need some G7space to find out what Clife's all Dabout
So, goodbye Emforever,F(ahah) my Glove"
And Gdeep Dinside, I knew Ashe was right
It was Gtime for us Dboth to move Aon
CAnd though, I Gnever got her Dnumber, oh no no
CShe never Gbothered to leave her adDdress, oh
But, as Clong as I Glive, I'll never forAget
Those precious moments we Dshared together

And I'm sure it was obvious to her, just what I was trying to say
Eb
I was trying to say, "Hey
Bb F C Eb
I'd like to make a wall-sized mural out of all the dead skin cells

That you slough off while you sleep at night"

I wanna make out with you, in an abandoned toll-booth,
Db Ab Eb
In the middle of a monsoon

Until the staff at Sea World kicks us out
Ab Db Ab Eb
I want you inside me, oh, like a tapeworm"

She licked the corner of her lips, as if to say
E/G# B/A E
"Here?", I nodded, implying, "Yeah, you got it"
A E B G# C#m
And, then the bus stopped, at 53rd Street, and she got up suddenly
A E B
"Where are you going?” pleaded my eyes,
G# C#m
"Baby, don't you do this to me
C G D C
Think of the beautiful children we could have someday
