Verse 1 
 
G                       C 
Waking sitting up right can't explain the sunlight 
G                         Am     D 
Wondering why you're not home 
G                 
Girl I go beside you 
C                        G        D7           G          
left before you tried to work out all the unknowns 
 
Verse 2 
 
Blame it all on me when I forget to defend 
Everything that we worked out 
something in her wording I cannot help searching 
For what memory found 
 
 
 
Dm 
Thought it stopped just as it start 
             C            G   C    G D7 G 
But that is not what you are 
Dm 
You're a layer on my clothes 
        C           G   (repeat intro/verse riff) 
Made of ivy and gold 
 
Verse 3 
 
Meet me in the hallway bite your lip when i say 
Never have you left my mind 
Stop and think it over smiling moving closer 
oh what delicate time 
 
Verse 4 
 
Blame it all on my when I forget to defend 
everything that we put down 
Something in her wording 
I guess she was just searching 
for some soletary sound 
 
 
 
Thought it stopped just as it starts 
But that is not what you are 
 
You're a layer on my clothes 
Made of ivy and gold    
 
You're a layer on my clothes 
Made of ivy and gold
