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