Intro: ---

Verse 1 chords:
                                
Nico take it slow, show me that you care
                                     
And love's not just a flare on my sle-e-eve
                                                       
Sleep well, I pray that cardboard boxes, set the perfect stage.
                                                            
'Cause wood grain makes all man made things seem so out of date
                                                       
Life is not a play, it's what we,   make of the people we love.

Chorus 1 Chords:
                                    
Snails see the benefits, the beauty in every inch
                                             
Oh why, why, why, why, why,   are you quick to kiss?
                                                
She bites at blades and leaves, God damn you shrubbery
                                                 
  
Well I’m sick of vanity plays, should we move to the UK?
                                  
'Cause life here in the states has escaped
                                            
All the people above us,  what we make of those people we love

Chorus 2 Chords:
                                   
Snails see the benefits the beauty in every inch
                                           
Oh why, why, why, why, why, are you quick to kiss?
               
Baby, maybe I spoke too soon
                       
I’ll touch you once you make the first move
                                         
Snails see the benefits the beauty in every inch

Verse 2: repeat Chorus 2 chord structure
I watch her as she runs, my mother jumps the gun
She puts her in her arms, that is just like my mom
Never lets go, never lets me grow old, I wanna pay her back
But love is nothing you can tax
My family’s not rich by any means
But I feel we won the lottery, that day
The rock swallowed the girl, and I cried as cameras caught my eyes
My tears turned into butterflies, they fly away as caskets close
A new day comes you’ll wake unfolding, smile when you feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight, you feel the sunlight


Outro Chorus: Use Chorus 2 chord structure
Snails see the benefits, the beauty in every inch
So why, why, why, why, why, are you quick to kiss?
Baby, maybe I spoke too soon
I’ll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits, the beauty in every inch, oh
Snails see the benefits, the beauty in every inch
