Tom: C

C
I went to an antique shop today
                           G
And saw old fashioned valentines

The woman’s guide to love and fortune
                      C
A wedding band from ‘99

I met a couple by the letters
                           G
Of long lost lovers off to sea

The woman shared her greatest treasure:
                              C
“Darling, this one belongs to me”


[Pre-Chorus 1]
(C)         F              G
So call me childish now to hope
                          Bb        C
That we’ll exchange those forbidden notes
             F           G
Your wedding frozen, I object
                Bb       C
The T for Troy around my neck
              F                G
Cause no good love story comеs easy
                        Bb       C
Just wait and see, then you’ll beliеve me
            F                G
I need some time to get this right


[Chorus]
       F
So I’m sorry I can’t date you now
    G
I’d probably screw it up somehow
  Am
I need to save the best for last, I’m serious
F                     G                      C
Why would I ruin such perfect marriage material?


[Verse 2]
C
We stroll like old folks in the suburbs
                               G
We’re leafing novels, drinking tea

I stumbled on a boy so precious
                            C
I’ll save him for the final scene


[Pre-Chorus 2]
(C)              F               G
You’d laugh your old soul out to know
                        Bb       C
That I have planned out how this goes
                  F                G
I’ve learned that every young love fails
                     Bb    C
I’ve loved but never truly cared
             F                   G
So if you’ll do me the quite the honor
             Bb       C
Be single in fourteen autumns
        F            G
And finally we’ll reunite


[Chorus]
       F
So I’m sorry I can’t date you now
    G
I’d probably screw it up somehow
  Am
I need to save the best for last, I’m serious
F                     G                      C
Why would I ruin such perfect marriage material?


[Bridge]
         F
My god I love your family
G                         C
And my brothers actually like you

I’m so damn nervous
F                      G                C
You’re the first crush I’ve ever had to lie to

But it’s with purpose
F            G             C
If I let you go and be the one that got away
F                  G                  C
We’ll live all the stories that we’ll tell our kids one day


[Chorus]
       F
So I’m sorry I can’t date you now
    G
I’d probably screw it up somehow
  Am
I need to save the best for last, I’m serious
F                     G                      C
Why would I ruin such perfect marriage material?
