[Verse]
A D
He took my knapsack just inside the revolving door
A E
It was a bookstore where I'd never been before
A D
I wasn't looking for anything more than a book
A E
But I looked, isn't that what eyes are for
A D
Studied biographies, I checked out the magazines
A E
My mind kept leading me back to his face
A D
I'd seen something about him that made me feel 17
A E
Stop, so I'm not, isn't that what minds are for
[Chorus]
E
Now every day I can't wait to see him
D A
I'm gonna ask his name
E
But every day I hand him my bag and
D E
Everything remains the same
[Verse]
A D
He took my knapsack and his fingers brushed my wrist
A E
Gave me a number but it wasn't even his
A D
I crossed another novel off of my reading list
A E
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 E
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 E
Hey, I got a band I understand what life is for
[Chorus]
E
Now every day I can't wait to see him
D A
I'm gonna ask his name
E
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 E
Wanted to tell him that I can't see him anymore
A D
Got a new job in a different part of town
A E
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 E
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 E
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
