I have always though songs about everyday things are pretty nice so I wrote this about how much I enjoy going out and spending time with my wife…she fits me.

You Fit Me By Jeff Gilpin


December 26, 2010)




Verse 1


[C]I pull into the parking lot


[Dm]I turn off the car


[Dm6]Come ‘round open the [F]door for you


Like a [C]thousand times before


[C]Walking to the restaurant


[Dm]Huddled from the cold


[Dm6]Small talkin’ ‘bout [F]this and that


[C]Never does get old




Chorus

[G]Because you [F]fit me


[Dm]Like a broke in shoe


[Dm6]Like my pair of [F]faded jeans


[C]That I still fit into


[G]Because I [F]fit you


[Dm]Just like the clothes you wear


[Dm6]Like the smell of [F]your perfume


Or the[C] way you wear your hair


Because you [Dm]fit me [Dm6]


And [F]I [G]fit [C]you




Verse 2


[C]The warmth of the restaurant


[Dm]Table just for two


[Dm6]Seems a little [F]crowded


[C]But all I see is you


[C]Order food and drinks and stuff


[Dm]Laughing at what you said


Your [Dm6]smile in the [F]candlelight


[C]Cheeks are glowing red




Chorus

[G]Because you [F]fit me


[Dm]Like a broke in shoe



[Dm6]Like my pair of [F]faded jeans


[C]That I still fit into


[G]Because I [F]fit you


[Dm]Just like the clothes you wear


[Dm6]Like the smell of [F]your perfume


Or the[C] way you wear your hair


Because you [Dm]fit me [Dm6]


And [F]I [G]fit [C]you




Bridge

[F]How many times I try and [C]remember


[F]We’ve played this scene out again and again and [G]again… [F]


Verse 3


[C]We settle up our bill


Getting [Dm]ready for outside


[Dm6]Let the weather [F]hit us


Then we’re [C]heading for our ride


[C]Get your car door open


[Dm]I help you get in


[Dm6]Saying thanks for the [F]evening


[C]Can’t wait to do this again




Chorus

[G]Because you [F]fit me


[Dm]Like a broke in shoe


[Dm6]Like my pair of [F]faded jeans


[C]That I still fit into


[G]Because I [F]fit you


[Dm]Just like the clothes you wear


[Dm6]Like the smell of [F]your perfume


Or the[C] way you wear your hair


Because you [Dm]fit me [Dm6]


And [F]I [G]fit [C]you

Re: "You Fit Me"

Hey Jeff, I really like this song! The chorus is particularly strong, I like to pick the chords Dm, Dm6, and F, but that's just me. How was your Christmas?

Hey fivefactor - The good thing about this forum is that you really get a chance to try the songs out how you like. That is how I play it too (picking the chords), and I like the chorus as well. It's really what the song is about where the verse just give the background story.

Christmas was pretty good. It was the first time in a while we had little kids around for Christmas who were finally old enough to rip into their presents. How about yours?
