[Verse]
E C#m F# A
And every sentence that I spoke began and ended in ellipsis
E C#m
Each of eight fingers gripping what he wrote,
F# A
clung on tightly, like parenthesis
E C#m
And for each correctly used apostrophe,
F# A
I, I could feel my heart sink inside my chest in front of me
E C#m
So, maybe the lining of a winter's coat
F# A
mightn't be the best place to hide a summer secret
E
Said every photo that you took that festival
C#m
got lost in your camera in an insurance scam
F#
And though underexposed, i could see from the quality,
A
his K Records t-shirt and you holding his hand
E
And I know he took you to the beach,
C#m
I can tell from how you bite on your cheek,
F# A
every time the sand falls from your insoles
E C#m
And when our eyes meet, all that I can read,
F# A
is "you're the b-side".
[Instrumental]
E C#m F# A x2
[Chorus]
E
They said "it's not what you like,
C#m
it's what you're like as a person",
F# A
Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain
E
Not what you like,
C#m
but what you're like as a person,
F# A
Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain.
