 STRUM PATTERN: DUD…the timing is 3/4…listen to the song to get it perfect :P
**note:  the  chord  progression  of Cm7/E, E, B11/E for 2 bars is the same for the
 whole song…so wherever you see B11/E you strum that chord for 2 bars
She  can't tell  me that all of  the love songs
  have been written,  'cause  she's never been in
 love with you before.
 Cm7/E | E | B11/E | B11/E | x2
Your  skin smells lovely  like sandalwood.
 Your hair  falls soft  like animals.
 I'm  tryin' to keep cool, but  everyone likes you.
 
I  want to kiss  the back  of your neck,
 the top  of your spine  where your hair  hits,
 and gnaw  on your fingertips  and fall  asleep,
 I'll talk  you to sleep.
But  I'll be the one, I will have chosen.
I'm  tryin' to keep  cool, but  everyone here likes
 you, I'm  not the only  one.
Your  skin smells lovely  like sandalwood.
 Your hair  falls soft  like animals.
 and nothing  else matters  to me.
 
She  can't tell  me that all of  the love songs
  have been written,  'cause  she's never been in
 love with you before… in  love with you  before.
Your  hand,
so  hot,
 burns a hole in my
hand.
 I wanted to show you.
