The Cinder Block Tab par Sobo

C            Am          G     F
You make me happy to be alive
C           Am                 G                  F
You make remember what it was like, when I was five or seven and I
C          Am         G             F
Carved my adolescent love into my parent’s blue van
C          Am                   G          F
Thought I loved you, Ally, but now, now I understand that

Am
Love is a cinderblock at the halfway point between my girl and I
C
She stands up on, she's as tall as I am, the perfect place to say goodnight
G
Then we say goodnight, which means we kiss, and we kiss and we kiss and we kiss again,
F 
    C          Am             G      F
Then we talk and we say sweet things, and we hug, and we hold, and I don’t let go cuz you are my best friend

C Am G F

C         Am           G                F
I used to get excited when I thought a girl was into me
C                          Am             G                    F
There’s the tiniest chance it might have fogged my judgement, made a fool of me
C               Am                    G                       F
Jumped out the back of a truck, cuz idiotic stunts are the quickest way to a woman’s heart
C                          Am       G          F                     Am
I’ll be the first to admit it I’ve had myself more than a few false starts

Am
But I’ve started something new
C
It’s something I’d very much like to do with you
G
I’ll be the one to hold you through it all
F
I’ll be the one to catch you if you fall
C
I’ll be your ally, be your biggest fan
G
When waters rise I’ll always lend a hand
F                                       Am
Or a foot, or a nose, or an ear, or an eyeball
       G
Cuz I love you

C Am G F (x2)

C               Am           G                 F 
There’s twenty years of memories, beneath the lyrics and the Doctor Who
C                    Am            G               F 
Of a life you’re not in yet, and looking back, I don’t know how I made it through
C              Am               G                     F 
I wish I could get a hold of my past self, tell him Danny, look ahead
(strum once and hold)
C                           Am     G             F         Am
Cuz this girl that’s a’coming, well… she’s gonna knock you dead.

Am
And you won’t even be mad
C
She’s the most precious thing we've had
G                                        F
Don’t be scared, no don’t you run from fate 
                                                          C
If it took her a hundred years, she’d still be worth the wait
