Intro

Verse
(Played quietly and slowly with picking, gradually getting louder during the verse)
And every sentence that I spoke began and ended in ellipses,
Each of eight fingers gripping what he wrote, clung on tightly, like
parenthesis,
And for each correctly used apostrophe, I could feel my heart sink inside my
chest in front of me,
So, maybe the lining of a winter's coat mightn't be the best place to hide a
summer secret
You said every photo that you took that festival got lost in your camera in
an insurance scam,
And though underexposed, i could see from the quality, his K Records t-shirt
and you holding his hand
And I know he took you to the beach, I can tell from how you bite on your
cheek, every time the sand falls from your insoles
And when our eyes meet, all that I can read, is "you're the b-side".
Outro
E-G#m-F#m-A & Riff 1 x2 (Play fast, like intro)
They said "It's not what you like, it's what you're like as a person",
Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain.
"It's not what you like, it's what you're like as a person",
