[Verse 1]
B B/E
So I'm the first one in again
C#m9 B
With the quiet and the window growing snow
B B/E

C#m9 B
From its slumber, somehow suddenly I know
[Chorus 1]
E/G# F#/A# B D#m7 C#m7
As my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan
E F#/A# B
That I'm just your... little ampersand
[Verse 2]
B B/E
When your voice springs from the intercom
C#m9 B
With announcements and reminders and a prayer
B B/E
I remember how you made me feel
C#m9 B
I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare
[Chorus 2]
E/G# F#/A# B D#m7 C#m7

But I know from how you worry at your wedding band
E F#/A# B
That I'm just your... little ampersand

At the last conjunction after every other and
E F#/A# B
I was just your... little ampersand
