| E     | C#m   | F#    | A  Am |
| E     | C#m   | F#    | A  Am |
| E     | G#    | F#    | A     |
| E     | C#m   | F#    | A     | A

[Pre-Verse] (slower)
| A     | E     | C#m   | F#    | A     |
        | E     | C#m   | F#    | A     |

[Verse]
E                         C#m                        F#    A
And every sentence that I spoke began and ended in ellipsis
E                              C#m
Each of eight fingers gripping what he wrote,
         F#               A
clung on tightly, like parenthesis
        E              C#m
And for each correctly used apostrophe,
   F#                           A
I, I could feel my heart sink inside my chest in front of me

    E                     C#m
So, maybe the lining of a winter's coat
                F#                          A
mightn't be the best place to hide a summer secret
     E
Said every photo that you took that festival
G#
got lost in your camera in an insurance scam
    F#
And though underexposed, i could see from the quality,
    A                         Am
his K Records t-shirt and you holding his hand

      E
And I know he took you to the beach,
      C#m
I can tell from how you bite on your cheek,
F#                                  A
every time the sand falls from your insoles
             E                   C#m
And when our eyes meet, all that I can read,
               F#      A
is "you're the b-side".

[Instrumental] (fast)
| E     | C#m   | F#    | A  Am |
| E     | C#m   | F#    | A  Am |

[Chorus]
                E
They said "it's not what you like,
                 C#m
it's what you're like as a person",
      F#                         A
Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain
E
Not what you like,
                C#m
but what you're like as a person,
      F#                         A
Well, I need new hobbies, that's one thing for certain.
