Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Em G C G Am G C G
Em C
You, how did you get so wise?
Am
I take the advice
C
I find in your eyes
Em C
Me, I've been waiting outside
Am
Most of my life
C
Oh, like a rare B-side
CHORUS 1:
Em Bm Am
I'm just making you mixtapes, homemade covers
Bm
Analogue to show we're lovers
Em Bm
And here under the jacket folds inside
Am Bm
I've taped my heart for you to find
Em C
To find the perfect way
Am
Which album to say
C Em
I la-la-la love you
C
This plastic cassette
Am
It's not finished yet
C
But it's gonna tell you slowly
CHORUS 2:
Em Bm Am
I'm just making you mixtapes, homemade covers
Bm
Strings and drawings show we're lovers
Em Bm
When you're driving around in the summertime
Am Bm Em
To hear again, just press rewind, rewind
INSTRUMENTAL: C Am Em C Em
C
Rewind, it comes to an end
Am
Turns over again
C
Another one thousand times
G Em C
But me, I'll be the same
Am
No, I never change
C
I'm like a rare B-side
CHORUS 1:
Em Bm Am
I've been making you mixtapes with homemade covers
Bm
Analogue to show we're lovers
Em Bm
So much rock and roll love in a plastic case
Am Bm
Play it loudly, see my face
CHORUS 1:
Em Bm Am
I'm just making you mixtapes with homemade covers
Bm
Mazzy Star, Donovan's Colours
Em Bm
Just an audio love letter painted blue
Am Bm Em
I spent all day making for you, for you
