Verse
[D7]You remind me of you[F]
the way you shot right [C]through and how

you broke my window glass,
[D7]fast it happened so [Fmaj7]fast
I have to con[C]fess that I
that I was im[G]pressed that I
that I was imp[D7]ressed that I
despite all the [F]mess and the broken g[G]lass
I was impress[C]ed

(Chords repeat for next verse)

Here's where I disappeared
where I fell off the pier and to...
and to be rescued I did wait
I watched water bugs skate
as they draw figure eights as they draw
from the bottom of the lake as they draw
I watched water bugs skate as they draw
From the bottom of the [F]lake I watched the water bugs[G] skate

(Walk up the low E string like so)


E|----3---4---


[Am]Memories like mohair sweaters
Stretched and pilled faux distressed [C]letters[C][B]
[Am]moose's horns and figure eights

white plastic bags in search of mates
what [C]suffocates the land
in the [G]memory of garbage can
[D7]memory of garbage can

Chorus
[F]You can't be found when the bell rings[Cmaj7]
[F]you weren't there that day for the naming of thing[C]s
the naming of t[G]hings
The naming of[D7] things
where the homeroom bell [F]rings[G]
the homeroom bell ring[E]s

Violin Solo (I usually whistle this part)
[Cmaj7] [F] [Cmaj7]
[D7] [F] [Cmaj7]
[Am] [F] [Cmaj7]
[D7] [F] [Cmaj7]
(Spoken) 1-2-3-4

[D7]hey, just look at the mess you [F]made today
didn't really think it would g[C]et this bad
[D7]hey, feel like you're living in a [F]Russian play
where it seems like you made ev[C]erybody mad

[D7]You remind me of [F]you
When you [C]shot through
and broke my window [D7]glass
It happened so [F]fast
I have to [C]confess
I was im[G]pressed, I was im[D7]pressed
despite all the [Fmaj7]mess and the broken [G]glass
I was im[E]pressed

Repeat chorus
Chorus
[F]you can't be found when the bell [Cmaj7]rings
you weren't [F]there that day for the naming of [C]things
the naming of t[G]hings
The naming of [D7]things
where the homeroom bell r[F]ings[G]
the homeroom bell ring[C]s
Its the naming of t[F]hings[G]
the naming of-[E]-
