[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
