The whole kitchen shakes when I run that washing machine

I don’t wanna have to fix you too

Cadd9 G
Maybe we could be something somewhere down the road
Cadd9
And I know that a younger me couldn’t sit here now
G Dsus4
And tell those green eyes “no”
Cadd9 Dsus4
But you’re a fixer upper if there ever was

I don’t wanna have to fix you too
