Dm
I was floating across the dance floor,
F
I was trying to think of something to say,
A#maj9 F Fmaj9
When i went up to your girlfriends and pulled you away.
Dm
You were so perfectly pretty,
F
I could love every mistake.
A#maj9 F Fmaj9
At the end of the night, i asked you your name.
A# Dm
You said "Laura" - i couldn't ignore it.
C Gm
The name of my old love keeps fucking me up
A# Dm C
But on paper, i could write it out for you.
A# Dm C
On paper, i could draw you a picture.
A# Dm C Gm A#
On paper, i could finish any story with any ending you please.
Dm
I saw you in a dream in the morning,
F
It's the only time i can remember.
A#maj9 F Fmaj9
You were sitting at my kitchen table with no makeup on.
Dm
If i flew in through the front door,
F
You were so happy to see it,
A#maj9 F Fmaj9
And you were telling me about everything you saw on tour.
A# Dm
And i said "know this - i'll listen to your records,
C
i'll keep you in my head."
