[Verse 1]
I saw your frAeckles on the shoulders of a sBmtranger today
And my hEeart leapt, my hAeart leapt
I saw the sAickle of your dimple slice the Bmside of her face
And my hEeart leapt, my hAeart leapt
But then she fAaced me while we wrestled for our pBmlace on the train
Kabuki mDakeup, a labret ring, I kept oEut of her way
You're not that aActress playing dress-up on the sBmubway today
So my hEeart keeps leapin' Aon
[Verse 2]
I tried to Acatch you in a couplet on my Bm4-track today
But my Etongue tied, my Atongue tied
I couldn't Afigure how to fit you on the Bmspin of the tape
So my tEongue tied, my tAongue tied
The words are Asmall and insignificant, confBmused and cliche
I saw my Dpromise and potential through my Eguilt and my shame
I couldn't Acatch that in a couplet on my Bmbest goddamn day
My Etied tongue tumbles Aon
[Chorus]
DmShake and sAhiver
And lBmaugh like cAursing kEids
And all our fDmitful faAilures
Fit eBmvery tAime we kEiss
So cross your fiAngers, place your bets
And hold that gBmlow in your face
Let my Ebig mouth ramble Aon
[Interlude]
 A   E   Bm   Ax2
[Chorus]
DmShake and sAhiver
And lBmaugh like cAursing kEids
And all our fDmitful faAilures
Fit eBmvery tAime we kEiss
So cross your fiAngers, place your bets
And hold that gBmlow in your face
Let my Ebig mouth ramble Aon
