Tom: Em
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)
