I Listened

Intro( palm muted) verse 1 Last night when I walked into your house I noticed that the couch had moved And I wanted to ask you about it But you were talking so when you finished I opened up my mouth And you called me out for being bad at listening So I wrote this song to tell ya just how well that I can listen And that I think that you are really cute And I thought that maybe I should wait to tell you that I like you but I don't really have that much to lose And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar and I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your attention and I don't know your favorite song but it's probably by Mars Volta cause you said you really like them when string is open) we talked and I listened yeah I listened verse 2 so this morning when I woke up in my bed I made a list of all the things you told me last night that I had inside my head like that yellow is your favorite because it's a happy color and that you have been sad for as long as you remember and that the way your kitchen looked made you upset because it was a mess and that's the way things look when you're depressed and you sat across the room on that rocking chair you said you hate cause it is so loud and I wished that you had sat next to me on the couch BRIDGE (notes picked instead of strummed) And I'm scared that this list is too long That I can't fit all these things into a song And still keep your attention So I'm trying hard to mention some important things that I feel will really demonstrate Just how well that I listened Like how you said with tears in your eyes that you wish that being grateful was enough to keep you from feeling sad all the time And that your favorite flowers are impatiens And that when you love somebody you wait Patiently for them And that your favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption And that serenity means listening to the water down at Tucquan Glenn And how you make poor decisions with the people that you choose to date (Strum chords once and hold) And you'll probably think I'm crazy for this and I'd tell you that I don't give a shit but that would be a lie because I care What you think about me And I just really, desperately want to be your next poor decision string is open) Be your next poor decision string is open) Be your next poor decision And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your affection and I don't know your favorite song but it might be by Mars Volta Cause you said you really liked them when we talked string is open) And I listened Yea, I listened
