             G
Was it you who spoke the words
                   Gmaj7
that things would happen but not to me
    Em
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
    Am
Oh taking your advice and
I'm looking on the bright side
     C                  D/F#
And balancing the whole thing

Oh, but often times those words get
tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Oh, until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about
the magic that was you and me

Chorus:
                 G         Gmaj7
Cause you and I both loved
           D/F#  Em
What you and I spoke of
                 Am
And others just read of
             C           D
Others only read of the love
                    G   Gmaj7
Of the love that I love
 Em
yeah la-be-de-dum

See, I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Chorus:
'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Oh, love, love
You and I, you and I
Not so little, you and I, anymore, mmm

And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Chorus:
'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well, I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally de de de de de
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well, I'm free, oh, I'm free

           C                     D
and it's okay if you had to go away
           G               D
oh just remember the telephones well they workin 'em
Em
both ways
          C                    D
But if I never ever hear them ring
           G                   D/F#
if nothing else I'll think the bells inside
      Em                                         C
have finally found you someone else and that's okay
              D
cause I'll remember everything you sang

Chorus:
'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well, then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of, finally de de de de de de
Well, I'm almost finally, finally, out of words
