Still in My Pocket

Verse 1

Fingerpicked guitar and voice

Bought it on a Tuesday in the rainTold the man it's for my girlHe smiled like he'd heard that beforeIt's been six months since thenYou've asked me twice what's wrong

Pre-Chorus

It isn't doubt, I promise youIt's that I want it perfect

Chorus

It's still in my pocketWaiting on the nerve to askYou're the easy part of thisIt's still in my pocket

Verse 2

I nearly did it at your mother'sThen the dog knocked over the wineI nearly did it on the bridgeThen it rained again

Pre-Chorus

It isn't doubt, I promise youIt's that I want it perfect

Chorus

Soft piano and strings enter

It's still in my pocketWaiting on the nerve to askYou're the easy part of thisIt's still in my pocket

Bridge

Falsetto, then building to a gritty belt

Perfect isn't coming, is itSo tonight, then, love

Final Chorus

Full band, voice tearing open

It's still in my pocketWaiting on the nerve to askYou're the easy part of thisIt's still in my pocketIt's still in my pocketWaiting on the nerve to askYou're the easy part of thisIt's not still in my pocket
