Then the full song lyrics, labeled by section.

Intro (12 measures):

D DsusG Bm D7susG/D7 
G A/Bm G/A Bm



[A] Verse:
 
D                      DsusG    
I just remembered that time at the market

Bm                     D7susG       D7       G
Snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart

G    A   Bm   G   
And rode down    

A     Bm
Aisle five

D                        DsusG
You looked behind you to smile back at me

Bm             D7susG       D7  G
Crashed into a rack full of magazines

G    A     Bm  G    
They asked us    

G  A  Bm    D
If we could leave



[A2]

D                          DsusG    
She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking

Bm                          D7susG       D7       G
And poses for pictures that aren't being taken

G    A   Bm   G   
I loved you

G    A     Bm    G
Grey sweat pants 

G  A  Bm
No makeup

A
So perfect




[B] Pre-Chorus:

4 measures instrumental: D  DsusG Bm D7

G        A               G             A
Can't remember what went wrong last september

           G          A                Bm
Though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to




[C] Chorus:

D            Bm             G          A 
Our love was comfortable and so broken in


[C2]

D             Bm
She's perfect, so flawless

G         D E G  D E G  A
Or so they say,   say

Lyrics:

[A]
I just remembered that time at the market
Snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down 
Aisle five
You looked behind you to smile back at me
Crashed into a rack full of magazines
They asked us 
If we could leave

[B]
Can't remember what went wrong last September
Though I'm sure that you'd remind me if you had to

[C]
Our love was comfortable and so broken in

[A]
I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
My friends all approve, say she's gonna be good for you
They throw me high fives
She says the Bible is all that she reads
And prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty

[B]
Life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane

[C]
Our love was comfortable and so broken in

[C2]
She's perfect, so flawless
Or so they say, say

[A2]
She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
And poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
Grey sweat pants 
No makeup
So perfect

[C]
Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in

[C2]
she's perfect, so flawless
I'm not impressed, I want you back.
