I'm Slowly Turning Into You

Tom: F

G                  F
I'm slowly turning into you
              G
But you don't know this
F
Tell the truth
            G                       F                  G
You say I'm lying and I never really tell you the truth
         F                    G
But your face is getting older
            F                  G F G
So put your head on my shoulder
               F                  G F G
Yeah, put your head on my shoulder
             F                        G
Yesterday it hit me that I do all the little things
     F                  G                         
That you do. Except the same little things that you 
F              G           F                     G
do are annoying. They're annoying as hell in fact
         F                           G
It kinda struck a little bell in fact
          F
I like to keep my little shell intact

And I'm slowly turning into you
        D      C       Bb   G  F G F 
And I'm slowly turning into you

G                   F
Then something else came to mind
             G   
That was the mirror
        F                 G
It made everything clearer
                 F                           G
That you're more beautiful compelling and stronger
          F               G
It didn't take much longer
               F                      G
Just for me to realize I love all the little things
        F                              G
And the beauty that they're gonna bring
           F                                G
I dig your little laugh and I'm lovin' your quick wit
       F                            G
I even love it when you're faking it
                     F                        G
And it might sound a little strange for me to say to you
        F
But I'm proud to be you
