You make remember what it was like when I was five or seven and I

Carved my adolescent love into my parent’s blue van

Thought I loved you Ally but now now I understand that

Love is a cinderblock at the halfway point between my girl and I
C
She stands up on she's as tall as I am the perfect place to say goodnight
G
Then we say goodnight which means we kiss and we kiss and we kiss and we kiss again
F

There’s the tiniest chance it might have fogged my judgement made a fool of me
C Am G F
Jumped out the back of a truck cuz idiotic stunts are the quickest way to a woman’s heart
C Am G F Am
I’ll be the first to admit it I’ve had myself more than a few false starts
Am
But I’ve started something new
C
It’s something I’d very much like to do with you
G
I’ll be the one to hold you through it all
F
I’ll be the one to catch you if you fall
C
I’ll be your ally be your biggest fan
G
When waters rise I’ll always lend a hand
F Am
Or a foot or a nose or an ear or an eyeball
G
Cuz I love you
