Lyrics

Took a deep breath in the mir ror.

He did n’t like it when I wore high heels, but (C)I do.

Turn the lock and put my head phones on.

He al ways said he did n’t get this song, but (C)I do,

I do.

You Walked you in ex pect ing you’d be late, but you got y here ear ly and you stand ords and wave.

I (C)walk to you.

You pull my chair ries out and help me in.

And you don’t know how nice that is, but (C)I do.

And you throw your head back, laugh ing like a lit tle kid.

I think it’s strange that you think I’m fun ny, ’cause he nev er did.

And (C)I’ve been spend ing the last eight months (D)think ing all love ev er does is (G)break

and (D)burn and (Em)end.

(C)But on a Wednes day in a ca fé

I watched it be gin a gain.

You say you nev er met ing one girl who had as man y James Tay ly lor you rec ords as you, but (C)I to do.

We tell my sto ries and you don’t know why I’m com in’ off a lit tle shy, but (C)I do.

And you throw your head back, laugh ing like a lit tle kid.

I think it’s strange that you think I’m fun ny, ’cause he nev er did.

And (C)I’ve been spend ing the last eight months (D)think ing all love ev er does is (G)break

and (D)burn and (Em)end.

(C)But on a Wednes day in a ca fé

I watched it be gin a gain.

And we (C)walked down the block to my car and I al most brought him up, but (C)you start to talk a bout the mov ies that your fam ’ly watch es ev ’ry sin gle Christ mas and I want to talk a bout that.

And for the first time,

what’s past is past.

(C)But on a Wednes day in a ca fé

I watched it be gin a (CN.C.)gain.
