Capo on 4th fret Intro: G C (2x) G I was heading to the bus stop Matty C You were reading in your room, holed up all day G You picked me up in a brand new Audi C And said "she bought it for herself on mother's day". G Am Then we hum along to some familiar tune G Am "I like women and songs", you said "it's from volume two". C Em Then you give me one, another you just finished. Am G You're my library, always open for business. C Em You never show it, you're just sitting with it. Am G But I know the score, and you're killing it. C Em Line after line, when you're taking it in. Am G C Em Time after time, when you try to fit in to some white shoes, Am Or a blue collar G We listened to your choice for the first 10 seconds C I turned the dial and it turned your expression, G I said "now haven't you learned your last lesson?" C I try to understand but I just don't get it. G Am Then we hum along all from memory, G Am "I like women and songs", you said "it's from volume three". C Em Then you give me one, another you just finished. Am G You're my library, always open for business. C Em You never show it, you're just sitting with it. Am G But I know the score, and you're killing it C Em Line after line, when you're taking it in. Am G C Em Time after time, when you try to fit in to some white shoes, Am G Or a blue collar, C Em Is it your white shoes, Am Or a blue collar. Em Am Take me to the bus stop Matty, drive me back to Hamilton. G C You talk about your step dad funny, you sound just like your father's son. Em Am In '98 he liberated every latin rhythm. G C He never used to play it cause she could never stand to listen. G C Ouu ouu ouu ouuuuu. G C Ouu ouu ouu ouuuuu. G Then you give me one, another you just finished. C You're my library 0uu ouu ouu ouuuuu, G But you never show it, you're just sitting with it. C C But I know the score, and you're killing it. C Em Line after line, when you're taking it in. Am G C Em Time after time, when you try to fit in to some white shoes, Am G Or a blue collar, C Em Is it your white shoes, Am G Or a blue collar. C Em Line after line, Am G Time after time, Cadd9 Em Am
