I nev er liked this ap ple much;
it al ways seemed too big to touch.
I can’t re mem ber how I found
my way be fore she came a round.
I tell ev ’ry one I smile just be cause I’ve got a cit (Fmaj13)y love.
I found it in Lyd (Bbmaj9)i a,
and I (Cmaj7)can’t re (Gmaj7)mem ber (Cmaj7)life be (Gmaj7)fore her (D5)name.
She keeps a tooth brush at my place,
as if I had the ex tra space.
She steals my clothes to wear to work.
I know; her hairs are on my shirts.
I tell ev ’ry one I smile just be cause I’ve got a cit (Fmaj13)y love.
I found it in Lyd (Bbmaj9)i a,
and I (Cmaj7)can’t re (Gmaj7)mem ber (Cmaj7)life be (Gmaj7)fore her (D5)name.
(Cmaj7)can’t re (Gmaj7)mem ber (Cmaj7)life be (Gmaj7)fore the (Ebmaj9)day
she called up and came to me cov ered in rain
and din ner time shad ow ing.
And as her clothes spun we spooned.
And I knew (Ebmaj9)I was through
when I said, “I (D)love you.”
(Gmaj7)Fri day eve ning, we’ve been drink ing.
Two A.
M., I swear I might pro pose.
But we close the tab, split a cab and call each oth er up when we get home,
fall ing a sleep to the (Gmaj7)sound
of si rens.
I’ve got a cit (Fmaj13)y love;
I found it in Lyd (Fmaj13)i a.
From the Bat (Fmaj13)ter y
to the gal (Bbmaj9)ler y,
it’s the kind (Fmaj13)of thing you on ly see in (Bbmaj9)scent ed, gloss y mag a zines.
And I (Cmaj7)can’t re (Gmaj7)mem ber (Cmaj7)life be (Gmaj7)fore her (D5)name.
