I’ve never met a lover like you

Presentation’s always been your strong suit

FM             GM   Am CM

It looks nicer on you anyway keep my sweater

I’ve never been by definition used

FM GM     Am

You define me still, say I’ve never been better 

        Dm EM

Unified at night, never really fight, true,

Be. Whatever, not now anyway. Keep my sweater

You’ve had many a lover like me

She became afraid, learned enough about you

  CM         BbM

And she never couldn’t be without you

And when she woke up she’d hear
