[Verse]
G....How I don't know how to sing,
I can barely play this tDhing,
DBut you never seem to mind,
And you tell me to fuck oCff,
CWhen I need somebody to,
How you make me laugh so hGard,
GHow whole years refuse to stay,
Where we told them to bad dDog,
DLocked up blindly in a word,
Or a misplaced souvenCir,
CHow the past chews on your shoes,
And these memories lick my eGar.
[Chorus]
D...I know,
BmYou might rColl your eyes at tGhis,
DBut I'm so
BmGlad that yCou exist.
[Verse]
GHow we waste our precious time,
Marching in the picket lines,D  
DThat surround those striking hearts,
And the time is never now,C  
CAnd we know who we should love,
But we're never certain Ghow.
[Chorus]
D...I know,
BmYou might rColl your eyes at tGhis,
DBut I'm so
BmGlad that yCou exist.G  
D...I know,
BmYou might rColl your eyes at tGhis,
DBut I'm so
BmGlad that yCou exist.
[Interlude]
G
[Chorus]
GI know,
BmYou might rColl your eyes at tGhis,
DBut I'm so
BmGlad that yCou exist.G

[Verse]

....How I don't know how to sing,

I can barely play this thing,

But you never seem to mind,

And you tell me to fuck off,

When I need somebody to,

How you make me laugh so hard,

How whole years refuse to stay,

Where we told them to bad dog,

Locked up blindly in a word,

Or a misplaced souvenir,

How the past chews on your shoes,

And these memories lick my ear.

[Chorus]

...I know,

Bm C G

You might roll your eyes at this,

But I'm so

Bm C

Glad that you exist.

[Verse]

How we waste our precious time,

Marching in the picket lines,

That surround those striking hearts,

And the time is never now,

And we know who we should love,

But we're never certain how.

[Chorus]

...I know,

Bm C G

You might roll your eyes at this,

But I'm so

Bm C G

Glad that you exist.

...I know,

Bm C G

You might roll your eyes at this,

But I'm so

Bm C

Glad that you exist.

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

I know,

Bm C G

You might roll your eyes at this,

But I'm so

Bm C G

Glad that you exist.
