Verse 2:
Cadd9
And I’ve, well I’ve seen a thousand things in one place
D/B A5
But I stopped my counting when I saw your face
Cadd9 D
Erasing memory, well I feel as though I’ve never seen a face before
Cadd9
Until I saw your eyes
D/B
And they’re smiling back at me through my tears
A5
I’ve been counting all these years, oh
Cadd9 D
Suddenly the thousand things I’ve seen were nothing more
than dreams of
G Cadd9
Of you and me
G Cadd9
You and me
G Cadd9
Quietly at a standstill now
G Cadd9
Fortunately you will, well you’ll kiss me, I will
I will kiss you back
BRIDGE:
Cadd9 G
Oh the fact of the matter is – ooo-lay
Cadd9 G
And I don’t know what the latter is, oh no way
Cadd9
See, I’ve always wanted to kiss you
G
But I, I always wanted to run from you
Cadd9
Because I’ve always wanted to miss you
G
And I, I always wanted to comfort you

OOoooo – Well I love my comfort foods, you said
D
While you always say, How do you do?
