Love Princess

Am7                Cmaj7                     Em
I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime.
D*                       Am7                   Cmaj7
There wasn't much I could say to express my confusion
            Em
At least in Japanese anyway.

Am7                  Cmaj7                          Em               D
I was struck by the smell of the staff-room and the dog-like procedure involved
        Am7                    Cmaj7               Em
when I went to the bathroom. It was a struggle back then.

    G      D                  C
But now... I've learned to use the toilet,
       G                      D                      C
And now after failing niikyu I can speak nihongo, or whatever they call it.
       G              D             C
Now I can ask a girl for her phone number
             G                         D                     C
And after 12 long months I'm pretty bloody good at ikebana.

Am7                   Cmaj7                      Em                              D
When I arrived in my town, they said there's a super(market) down the road,

                    Am7                         Cmaj7                Em
And it's not too far. It took two hours by train and another hour by car.
Am7                       Cmaj7
I made a nice group of friends in my town,
              Em
They were a very friendly bunch,
D                     Am7            Cmaj7                    Em
But they didn't get let out of the old peoples home, that much.

G           D                   C
But now... I've made friends my own age,
       G                  D                        C
And now I can read a menu, well at least the first page.
G                           D                          C
And now I understand that people don't mean to be dicks,
                G                           D                          C
When they say with a patronizing smile, that I'm good with chopsticks.

Am7                             Cmaj7
I have grown to love the love princess,
               Em                 D                    Am7
I just wish I had a little more success with the opposite sex,
         Cmaj7                       Em
or if I was gay then with the same sex. (Repeat Twice)
