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