Am                      F
Well, I met you at the blood bank

Am                      F
We were looking at the bags

Am                      F
Wondering if any of the colors

Am                    F
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

Am                     F
You said "See, look, that's yours

Am         G             F
Stacked on top with your brother's

Am           G            F
See how they resemble one another's

Am            G              F
Even in their plastic little covers?"
[Instrumental] Am F x4 [Verse 2]
Am                    F
Then the snow started falling

Am                        F
We were stuck out in your car

Am                 G        F
You were rubbing both of my hands

Am           G     F
Chewing on a candy bar

Am                   G             F
You said "Ain't this just like the present

Am             G      F
To be showing up like this?"

Am        G        F
As a moon waned to crescent

Am    G       F
We started to kiss
[Instrumental] Am F x4 [Chorus]
    Em        Dm
And I know it well

     Am             G
That secret that we know

        G
That we don't know how to tell

       F
I'm in love with your honor

       Am
I'm in love with your cheeks

            G
What's that noise up the stairs, babe?

        F
Is that Christmas morning creaks?
Am F [Outro]
    F         Am
And I know it well

F     G   Am
I know it well

Am     F
Ooooooh

Am     F
Ooooooh
Am F x2
Am                 F
Yeah I met you at the blood bank

   Am           F
We were looking at the bags

 Am                 F
Wondering if any of the colours

Am
Matched any of the names

               F
We knew on the tags

Am            G     F
But you and I we've been through that

Am          G       F
And this is not our fate

Am             G       F
None of them along the line

Am                   F
Know what any of its worth
Am F x2
