Floating on waves of static high above your home
Somewhere in between water and ice
Looking down upon everyone you?ve ever known
In your whole entire so called life

I?ve always thought that you were really something else
Like a presence here from far away
Unwrapped as if to draw a tangent from yourself
Never ever having much to say

I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing

You always were the type to hide your head in style
Wary of the latest trend or scene
Despite your act of sense your name is in demand
Bleeding through a naughty magazine

I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing

I know you know just what you like
And I am really not your thing
But just in case you change your mind
I wrote this song for you to sing

Key of D#
Ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.

INTRO:
D# – Gm – Cm – A# (x2)

VERSE 1:
I feel it
I need you
To keep me going strong
You and I
History
Together for so long

And if you ever wonder
How we keep from going under
It’s because we find another
Reason not to give in

And even though we may not
Get to where we wanna go
I do believe that we both know
It don’t matter in the end

CHORUS:
’Cause in the summer weather
We’ll put sunscreen on together
I would not want your skin to burn, no-oh-oh

Uh-uh-uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh, 

Uh-uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh

D# – Gm – Cm – A# (x2)

VERSE 2:
I’ve been bad
And mean to
You but you right my wrongs
I do try
You know I
Love to sing all your songs

And if you move away
I’ll try hard not to hesitate
Thinking I cannot lift the weight
Without you here to share it

But if you have to go
I promise you that on my own
It will be known that I was trying
Hard to grin and bear it

CHORUS:
’Cause in the winter weather
I’ll lend you my warmest sweater
I would not want you to get cold, no-oh-oh

Uh-uh-uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh, 

Uh-uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh

D# – Gm – Cm – A# (x2)

CHORUS REPRISE:
No matter what the weather
I’ll do anything whatever
If I could be so very bold, oh-oh-oh
I never want us to grow old
