City Love

I never liked this apple much;

it always seemed too big to touch.

I can't remember how I found

my way before she came around.

I tell ev'ryone I smile just because I've got a (Fmaj13)city love.

I found it in (Bbmaj9)Lydia,

and I (Cmaj7)can't (Gmaj7)remember (Cmaj7)life (Gmaj7)before her (D5)name.

She keeps a toothbrush at my place,

as if I had the extra space.

She steals my clothes to wear to work.

I know;

her hairs are on my shirts.

I tell ev'ryone I smile just because I've got a (Fmaj13)city love.

I found it in (Bbmaj9)Lydia,

and I (Cmaj7)can't (Gmaj7)remember (Cmaj7)life (Gmaj7)before her (D5)name.

(Cmaj7)can't (Gmaj7)remember (Cmaj7)life (Gmaj7)before the (Ebmaj9)day she called up and came to me covered in rain

and dinnertime shadowing.

And as her clothes spun we (C)spooned.

And I knew (Ebmaj9)I was through when I said,

"I (D)love you."

(Gmaj7)Friday evening, we've been drinking.

Two A.

M., I swear I might propose.

(Dsus4sus2)But we close the tab, split a cab and call each other up when we get home,

falling asleep to the (Gmaj7)sound

of sirens.

(Bbmaj9)I've got a (Fmaj13)city love;

(Bbmaj9)I found it in (Fmaj13)Lydia.

(Bbmaj9)From the (Fmaj13)Battery to the (Bbmaj9)gallery,

it's the kind (Fmaj13)of thing you only see in (Bbmaj9)scented,

glossy magazines.

(Bbmaj9)And I (Cmaj7)can't (Gmaj7)remember (Cmaj7)life (Gmaj7)before her (D5)name.
