   G          C        Em        D
Your features defy all metaphor

    G       C       Em   D
And I'm the king of those

    G        D          Em                  C
Your hair is too pretty to be compared to a city

   G                 D           G
so I'll leave it out of all my prose

        G         C          Em   D
And your eyes are unlike any ocean

     G      C    Em  D
that I have ever seen

  G         D
Unlike any jewels

     Em                C
They break the writing rules

    G              D              G
And I am trying to keep this song clean

  C        Em      D
And not to mention

        G
despite pretension

        C           Em             D
You are infinitely interesting to me

   C       Em
It's so unexpected,

   D             G
my heart feels unprotected

       C                 Em              D   D
I'm so thankful for that way you look at me, me
G C Em D G C Em D D ...
    G                   C        Em  D
And everything that you say is a poem

    G             C     Em  D
And I'm hooked on every word

     G               D
Your mouth speaks no lies,

   Em       C
it needs to alibis

    G       D              G
and not one single word is slurred

    G               C          Em  D
And I love that you talk about Dylan

   G        C         Em  D
And all the books you read

  G           D      Em               C
I know you so well, didn't notice any spell

    G              D          G
But you seem to be taking the lead

  C        Em      D
And not to mention

        G
despite pretension

        C           Em             D
You are infinitely interesting to me

   C       Em
It's so unexpected,

   D             G
my heart feels unprotected

       C                Em               D
I'm so thankful for that way you look at me

  C        Em      D
And not to mention

        G
despite pretension

        C           Em             D
You are infinitely interesting to me

   C       Em
It's so unexpected,

   D             G
my heart feels unprotected

       C                Em               D   D
I'm so thankful for that way you look at me, me
