Like Cursing Kids

             A                     
I saw your freckles on the 
        Bm
shoulders of a stranger today
        E               A
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
           A                   
I saw the sickle of your dimple 
           Bm
slice the side of her face
        E               A
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt
              A               
But then she faced me while we 
                   Bm
wrestled for our place on the train
        D                          
Kabuki makeup, a labret ring I kept
  E
 out of her way
                 A             
You're not that actress playing 
                  Bm
dress-up on the subway today
       E                  A
So my heart keeps leapin' on

Continues after the ad
Verse 2:
I tried to catch you in a couplet on
 my 4-track today
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied
I couldn't figure how to fit you on 
the spin of the tape
So my tongue tied, my tongue tied
The words are small and 
insignificant,confused and cliche
I saw my promise and potential 
through my guilt and my shame
I couldn't catch that in a couplet 
on my best goddamn day
My tied tongue tumbles on


Chorus:
Dm         A
Shake and shiver
     Bm         A       E
And laugh like cursing kids
             Dm      A
And all our fitful failures
     Bm   A       E
Fit everytime we kiss
                A
So cross your fingers, place your 
bets
               Bm
And hold that glow in your face
       E                A
Let my big mouth ramble on
