With In The Way He Spoke
F
And The Way He Draws,
F
The Way He Sings Along To His Guitar

[Verse 2]
C
As I'm falling for him more and 
more,
C
The more it'll hurt the day he 
leaves
Am                                
And when I hear his voice it's 
   Am
like it's straight out of a dream
F                            
I would do things for him that 
  F
completely messes my routine
G                             G
so even just for a minute it'd feel 
like he's right next to me

C                                  
I would take time out of busy days 
C
so I could hear his laugh
Am                                 
listen to his favorite songs while 
Am
staring at his photograph
F                                 
I needed him, I wanted him, right 
  F
person but wrong time
G                              G
and on September 9, the telephone 
cord cut the line

C                         C
but you said it yourself, flowers 
from 1970
Am                          Am
couldn't last that long and you were
 my flower
F                           F
and for one last time I said 
"goodbye old man"
G                              
you said "you take care of those 
    G
flowers, wrong number."

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The 
Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I 
Love It Whenever He
F
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The 
Fact That He’s Obsessed With Me
G
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me 
Flowers From 1970

[Interlude]
C Am F G

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The 
Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
and he made me feel so special but 
it broke me when he
F
asked for closure, proof that in 
1970, a man
G
who didn't even exist yet had loved 
me.

[Verse 3]
C                       C
you said you just can't have your 
heart in 2020 with me
Am                       Am
when your heart belongs there in 
1970
F                                 
maybe in another life we'd do the 
  F
things we couldn't do
G                              G
so I'd hold you in my arms and tell 
you how much I love you.

One Day A Man From 1970 Gave Me A 
Call.
Am                             
Now My Only Memories Of Him Are 
Em
Handprints On The Wall.
