This one is dedicated to all the obliviously pining blorbos out there determined to repress their romantic inklings; who among us hasn't been there? With bonus guitar chords!
lyrics
Capo 3
[G] Could have been an [Em] accident
[C] and it probably [D] was
[G] the way that our eyes [Em] met
[C] the moment that our [D] hands touched
something [C] deep seemed to briefly [Em] unlock
for a [C] second I almost took [G] stock
but I already [D] know
I'll shove this [C] down, down, down,
where all the [Em] feelings go
I'll spin this [Am] round, round, round
til my [D] heartbeat has safely slowed
and it's [C] hard work dodging these [G] thoughts
while [Em] pretending that I'm [C] not
but I'l tamp em [D] low
watch the champ [C] go
[G] could be co[Em]incidence
[C] that's technically[D] true
[G] the Freudian slip and [Em] slide
[C] I've ridden since I [D] knew you
but we [C] all know Freud was [Em] a hack
so that's [C] enough looking at [G] that
'cause I already [D] know
I'll shove this [C] down, down, down,
where all the [Em] feelings go
I'll spin this [Am] round, round, round
til my [D] heartbeat has safely slowed
let our [C] friends all crack jokes 'bout the [G] Nile
I will [Em] simply sit here and [C] smile
not hearing a [D] word
not one inkling [C] stirred
and it [D] really can tucker you [Am]out
[Em] diverting your mind from some [C] uncertain routes
[D] to keep memories on the [Am] shelf
[Em] to twist like a pretzel to [G] not see yourself
when I already [D] know
I'll shove this [C] down, down, down,
where all the [Em] feelings go
I'll spin this [Am] round, round, round
til my [D] heartbeat has safely slowed
it would [C] be easier to come [G] out and—
sorry... [Em] what were we talking a[C] bout?
Add that to the [D] mound
then shove it all [C] down [G]
