       Em                       D
Well I met you at the blood bank
         C
We were looking at the bags
          Em                  D
Wondering if any of the colors
                    C
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
               G
You said "see look it thats yours!
           D/F#
Stacked on top with your brother's
                Em
See how they resemble one another
                C
Even in their plastic little covers"
                     Em D
And I said I know it well

Chorus:
      G
That secret that you knew
    D/F#
But don't know how to tell
    G
It fucks with your honor
         D/F#
And it teases your head
         Em
But you know that its good girl
         C
Cos its running you with red

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
You said "Ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this?"
As the moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss

Chorus:
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs, babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

And I know it well
I know it well
And I know it well
I know it well
And I know it well
I know it well
And I know it well
I know it well
