Sufjan Stevens – Futile Devices (Ukulele)

Eb
It's been a long, long time

           Bb             Dm
Since I've memorized your face

Eb
It's been four hours now

           Bb                    Dm
Since I've wandered through your place

Eb
And when I sleep on your couch

Bb          Dm
I feel very safe

Eb
And when you bring the blankets

Bb            Dm
I cover up my face

Eb
I do

Bb   Dm
Love you

Eb
I do

F    Dm
Love you

Eb
And when you play guitar

  Bb                    Dm
I listen to the strings buzz

Eb                      Bb               Dm
The metal vibrates underneath your fingers

Eb
And when you crochet

       Bb              Dm
I feel mesmerized and proud

Eb
And I would say I love you

Bb                F       Dm
But saying it out loud is hard

Eb                   F
So I won't say it at all

Eb                    F
And I won't stay very long

Bb          F      Dm         F
But you are life I needed all along

           Eb        F
I think of you as my brother

Eb                   Bb
Although that sounds dumb

Eb            Bb     Dm
And words are futile devices
