G
Took a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore high heels
    C
But I do
G
Turn the lock and put my headphones on
He always said he didn't get this song
    C        G
But I do I do

G
Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you stand and wave
   C
I walk to you
G/H
You pull my chair out and help me in
And you don't know how nice that is
    C
But I do

Chorus:
C
And you throw your head back laughing
      D
Like a little kid
Em
I think it's strange that you think
I'm funny cause
G
He never did
C
I've been spending the last 8 months
  D
Thinking all love ever does
     G        D       Em
Is break and burn and end
 C                         D
But on a Wednesday in a cafe
                        G
I watched it begin again

You said you never met one girl who
Had as many James Taylor records as you,
But I do
We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy,
But I do

Chorus:
But you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think
I'm funny 'cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café,
I watched it begin again

         C                           D
 And we walked down the block to my car
 And I almost brought him up
      C                           D
 But you start to talk about the movies
                         C
 That your family watches every single Christmas
                G/H
 And I want to talk about that
              C
 And for the first time
 What's past is past

Chorus
'Cause you throw your head back laughing
Like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think
I'm funny 'cause
He never did
I've been spending the last 8 months
Thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café,
I watched it begin again

But on a Wednesday in a cafe
I watched it begin again
