G C Em D

Your features defy all metaphor

G C Em D

And I'm the king of those

Your hair is too pretty to be compared to a city

And everything that you say is a poem

G C Em D

And I'm hooked on every word

G D G

and not one single word is slurred

G C Em D

And I love that you talk about Dylan

G C Em D

And all the books you read

G D Em C

I know you so well, didn't notice any spell

G D G

But you seem to be taking the lead

And not to mention

despite pretension

You are infinitely interesting to me

It's so unexpected,

my heart feels unprotected
