Verse
[E]And every sentence that I [C#m]spoke began and ended in el[F#]ellipsis[A]lipsis
[E]Each of eight fingers gripping [C#m]what he wrote,
clung on [F#]tightly, like par[A]parenthesis
And for [E]each correctly [C#m]used apostrophe,
I, [F#]I could feel my heart sink in[A]inside my chest in front of me
So, [E]maybe the lining of a [C#m]winter's coat
mightn't be the [F#]best place to hide a summer [A]secret
Said [E]every photo that you took that festival
[C#m]got lost in your camera in an insurance scam
And [F#]though underexposed, i could see from the quality,
his [A]K Records t-shirt and you holding his hand
And I [E]know he took you to the beach,
I can [C#m]tell from how you bite on your cheek,
[F#]every time the sand falls from your [A]insoles
And when our [E]eyes meet, all that [C#m]I can read,
is "you're the [F#]b-side".[A]b-side".
Instrumental
[E] [C#m] [F#] [A]
Chorus
They said "it's [E]not what you like,
it's what you're [C#m]like as a person",
Well, [F#]I need new hobbies, that's [A]one thing for certain
[E]Not what you like,
but what you're [C#m]like as a person,
Well, [F#]I need new hobbies, that's [A]one thing for certain.
