[Verse 1]CB9
I like the way you talk
CB9
When you've just woken up
CB9
And I like the way we can
Am
joke about offensive stuff
F
I like the way you give
homeless men your mittens
F
When you're all out
of spare change
[Verse 2]CB9
And I like the way you think
CB9
I like your reasoning
CB9
Everyone thinks you're brilliant,
Am
you think you don't know anything
F
I like the way you care,
you're nice when no one's there
F
God, I hope you never change
