Capo 4
 C   Am   FG,  E7   Am   C  F  
CFour walls, a roof, and plenty of
attention and food all my Amlife.
Don't you Fthink that'd be enough
To learn how to Glove you?
CI'm sorry I don't always know
just what to say, how to say it,
and how to let the small things Amgo.
FYou make it look so easy to Gdo.
C'Cause if you're the AmRiver than FI must be the Gspout.
CWhere you dAmeliver, I bFarely spit it Gout.
You know that E7no one wants a Amtaste unless it's Cflowing cool and Fclean.
CYou're what love is Ammade of.F  
My Gimitation's Ccheap.
CHonest, I don't remember when
I had a thought pass through my Amhead not about me in the Fend
and I Gdon't know how to curb it.
CCan't help but wonder why I don't
ever feel the icey touch of Ampointed fingers, told you Fso's.
GHeaven knows I've earned it
C'Cause if you're the AmRiver than FI must be the Gspout.
CWhere you dAmeliver, I bFarely spit it Gout.
You know that E7no one wants a Amtaste unless it's Cflowing cool and Fclean.
CYou're what love is Ammade of.F  
My Gimitation's Ccheap.
E7I don't want to lose you
Amand I know you're not a game I'm playin.
CWhen will I ever underFstand?
E7The more I know it
Amthe less I want to show it.
CLove means folding with a winning haFnd.
C'Cause if you're the AmRiver than FI must be the Gspout.
CWhere you dAmeliver, I bFarely spit it Gout.
You know that E7no one wants a Amtaste unless it's Cflowing cool and Fclean.
CYou're what love is Ammade of.F  
My Gimitation's Ccheap.
