Intro: Bm D Gmaj9 D Dmaj9
Bm
I was floating across the dance floor,
D
I was trying to think of something to say,
Gmaj9 D Dmaj9
When i went up to your girlfriends and pulled you away.
Bm
You were so perfectly pretty,
D
I could love every mistake.
Gmaj9 D Dmaj9
At the end of the night, i asked you your name.
G Bm
You said "Laura" - i couldn't ignore it.
A Em
The name of my old love keeps fucking me up
G Bm A
But on paper, i could write it out for you.
G Bm A
On paper, i could draw you a picture.
G Bm A Em G
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please.
Bm
I saw you in a dream in the morning,
D
It's the only time i can remember.
Gmaj9 D Dmaj9
You were sitting at my kitchen table with no makeup on.
Bm
If i flew in through the front door,
D
You were so happy to see it,
Gmaj9 D Dmaj9
And you were telling me about everything you saw on tour.
G Bm
And i said "know this - i'll listen to your records,
A
i'll keep you in my head."
