             D
The moon is high
Like your friends were the night that we first met
                                        A    Bm
Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet
                                            A
Now I've read all of the books beside your bed
             D
The wine is cold
Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street
                                 A    Bm
Cat and mouse for a month or two or three
                                        A
Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe

 D
(Ay!) Kiss me once 'cause you know
I had a long night
(Oh!) Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright
 Bm
(Uh!) Three times 'cause
I've waited my whole life
 A
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)

Chorus:
D
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
    G                     A
Uh-huh, that's right, darling, you're the one I want
    D
And I hate accidents except when we went
from friends to this
    G                     A
Uh-huh, that's right, darling, you're the one I want

    D                              A  Bm
In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
   A
Ah-oh, you're the one I want

In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool
When you jumped in first, I went in too
I'm with you even if it makes me blue
Which takes me back
To the color that we painted your brother's wall
Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws
We wouldn't be standing here so tall, so

Kiss you once 'cause I know
you had a long night (Oh)
Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright (Uh)
Three times 'cause you waited your whole life
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4)

Chorus

In paper rings, in picture frames,
in dirty dreams
Ah-oh, you're the one I want

E
I want to drive away with you
                           A
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
  B                             E
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
I want to drive away with you
                           A
I want your complications too
I want your dreary Mondays
  B                             E
Wrap your arms around me, baby boy
    A B
Uh-huh

Chorus:
I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want, and
I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this
Uh huh, that's right
Darling, you're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames, in dirty dreams
Oh, you're the one I want

In paper rings, in picture frames,
in all my dreams
You're the one I want
In paper rings, in picture frames,
in all my dreams
Ah-oh, you're the one I want

You're the one I want, the one I want
You're the one I want, the one I want
