( ) He doesn't always play the chord and but it's a nice addition.  
(x00020) might be (x00220) or (x02220)  
(x20030) might be (x20230).

(1) I just remembered that time at the market  
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart  
and rolled down aisle five  
you looked behind you to smile back at me  
and crashed into a rack full of magazines  
they asked us if we could leave  
 
(2) I can't remember what went wrong last September  
though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to  
 
our love was comfortable and so broken in  
 
(1) I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to  
my friends all approve,  
say "she's gonna be good for you"  
They throw me high fives  
She says the Bible is all that she reads  
and prefers that I not use profanity  
Your mouth was so dirty  
 
(2) Life of the party and she swears that she's artsy  
but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane  
 
Our love was comfortable and so broken in  
she's perfect  
so flawless  
(3) or so they say  
 
Interlude (4)  
 
She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking  
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken  
(5) I loved you  
grey sweatpants  
no makeup  
so perfect  
 
(6) Our love was comfortable and so broken in  
she's perfect  
so flawless  
(3)I'm not impressed  
I want you back
