[Verse]
E A
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E B
It was a bookstore where I'd never been before
E A
I wasn't looking for anything more than a book
E B
But I looked, isn't that what eyes are for
E A
Studied biographies, I checked out the magazines
E B
My mind kept leading me back to his face
E A
I'd seen something about him that made me feel 17
E B
Stop, so I'm not, isn't that what minds are for
[Chorus]
B
Now every day I can't wait to see him
A E
I'm gonna ask his name
B
But every day I hand him my bag and
A B
Everything remains the same
[Verse]
E A
He took my knapsack and his fingers brushed my wrist
E B
Gave me a number but it wasn't even his
E A
I crossed another novel off of my reading list
E B
Wished to be kissed isn't that what lips are for
E A
Thinking about him when I'm on my way to work
E B
All these men in suits they look too perfect
E A
And I want to tell him I'm not just some soulless jerk
E B
Hey, I got a band I understand what life is for
[Chorus]
B
Now every day I can't wait to see him
A E
I'm gonna ask his name
B
But every day I hand him my bag and
A E
Everything remains the same
[Verse]
E A
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E B
Wanted to tell him that I can't see him anymore
E A
Got a new job in a different part of town
E B
Fired and rehired isn't that what work is for
E A
He smiled right at me but I couldn't meet his eye
E B
All I could look at was the palm tree on his tie
E A
I'll think about him when I go to bed at night
E B
Deep in my sleep isn't that what dreams are for
[Outro]
E A
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E A
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
E A E
He took my knapsack
