Patchwork Girlfriend by Punch Brothers
Patchwork Girlfriend
INTRO:
Dm Dm/A (x7) Dm
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Em7b5 A7
I run my fingers through her blackish blondish hair
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Am7 Em7b5
Look into her brown blue eyes and touch her skin so dark and fair
C G C E7 Em7b5 A7
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Em7b5 A7
Because I like how she encourages and scolds me
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Em7b5 A7
How even as her left hand pushes me away her right arm holds me
Em7b5 Gm7 Em7b5 A7
F D7 Gm Gdim7
It's nice to know she's always waiting for me at the dead ends
F A7 Dm Bb
Guess I need a little love from every little square of my sweet little
C F
patchwork girlfriend
D7 Bb C F
Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend
Dm Dm/A (x7) Dm
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Em7b5 A7
I can't tell if she would rather take or leave me
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Am7 Em7b5
And I'm not sure what I'm saying but I'm sure I want her to believe me
C G C E7 Em7b5 A7
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Gm7 Em7b5
So I run my fingers through her blackish blondish brownish reddish grayish
A7
(grayish?!) hair
Dm Dmmaj7 F Bm7b5 Em7b5 A7 Em7b5 A7
And tell her I won't mess around with other girls unless they're her
F D7 Gm Gdim7
It's nice to know she's always waiting for me at the dead ends
F A7 Dm Bb
Guess I need a little love from every little square of my sweet little
C F
patchwork girlfriend
D7 Bb C F
Of my sweet little patchwork girlfriend
Dm
Gm Eb F Bb F D7
Though I'm no more boy scout than boyfriend I could see tying the knot
Gm Bb A7
Instead it's my hands that are tied because that'd be against the law even in Utah
F D7 Gm Gdim7
It's nice to know she's always waiting for me at the dead ends
F A7 Dm Bb
Guess I need a little love from every little square of my sweet little
A7
patchwork girlfriend
F D7 Gm Gdim7
She's anywhere I could ever go ain't no false start or dead end
F A7 Dm Bb
That could take me away from, couldn't bring me back to my sweet little
C F
patchwork girlfriend
D7 Bb C F
Or my big bitter patchwork girlfriend
D7 Bb C Bbm F
Or my sweet little patchwork girlfriend
