For Philip
 
     F              C
The future doesn't shout
        Bb                 F
But it sneaks up soft and quiet
     Dm                  C
You borrow a pen from a cute boy and
 Bb              C
There goes your life
     F              C
You always make me laugh
          Bb              F
You even like my crooked ears
    Dm                C
So how about we keep choosing us
        Bb            F
For the next hundred years

   Bb               F                   C           Dm
If I could see the sky and sea, but no colors in between
Bb                  F             Gm            C      
Would I know there was a blue that I had never seen
    Bb            F          C          Dm
I thought I knew happy, and then I knew you
Gm              Bb               F
     You're my missing shade of blue

     F                C
You won't read Harry Potter
               Bb              F
But you're my favorite guy to snuggle
   Dm                 C
So I guess I'll keep loving you
      Bb                   C
Even though you're such a muggle
F                C
Being your best friend
          Bb                 F
Makes my whole life so much better
       Dm          C
And I still can't wait
    Bb          F
To love you forever

   Bb               F                   C           Dm
If I could see the sky and sea, but no colors in between
Bb                  F             Gm            C      
Would I know there was a blue that I had never seen
    Bb            F          C          Dm
I thought I knew happy, and then I knew you
Gm              Bb               F
     You're my missing shade of blue

   F                C
I know you never remember
     Bb           F
The words to any songs
    Dm                     C
So I'll just keep singing this to you
      Bb         C
Your whole life long
F            C
Every day I love you
Bb                  F
When you're gone I miss you
Dm             C
And no matter where or when
   Bb             C
I always want to kiss you

   Bb               F                   C           Dm
If I could see the sky and sea, but no colors in between
Bb                  F             Gm            C      
Would I know there was a blue that I had never seen
    Bb            F          C          Dm
I thought I knew happy, and then I knew you
Gm              Bb               F
     You're my missing shade of blue

Gm              Bb               F
     You're my missing shade of blue
