(Repeat chords: Am G F E, but only play bottom two strings of barre chords)

Sitting in this coffeeshop, I hear somebody say your
name and then I realize that I'm
tired of waiting and debating why
I'm attracted, but the fact is
it's no use to analyze this obsession
so I write this song instead even
though I only know four chords
(but don't they sound cool?)

Harry Potter
Your name is everywhere
I can't get away
When will J.K. Rowling hurry up and write the next book?
Some may think I'm a nutcase, but
I know that you understand and that you sympathise
                                    
why I can't help buying Harry Potter merchand-
Am
ise like shirts and wizard hair and
G
Gryffindor House underwear
F
keychain Snitch, a magic set but
E
don't leave now I'm not done yet, a
Am
Hufflepuff notebook, Quaffle shorts, a   (Har - ry)
G
pointed hat, all from Hogwarts           (Pot - ter)
F
Bertie's Botts All Flavour Beans, a      (Wiz - ard)
E
Draco Malfoy Guillotine                  (Boy)
Am
Slytherin salt and pepper shaker         (Cast your)
G
Aunt Petunia's coffeemaker               (spell on)
F
Sorting hat, a Snapish pawn, the         (me)
E
list goes on and on and on....           (list goes on and on and on...)

(Lower counterpoint part, sung solo first)
Am     G
I close my eyes 
    F               E
but I still see it all so clearly
Am           G
The world of Harry Potter
F         E
here inside of every
Am         G
One of my 
F         E
One of my memories is...

(Repeat counterpoint part, but add part of the first verse over top)

I close my eyes                          (Sitting in this coffeeshop)
but I still see it all so clearly        (I hear somebody say your name
                                          and then I real-)
The world of Harry Potter                (-ize that I'm)
here inside of every                     (tired of waiting and debating)
One of my                                (why I'm attracted)
One of my memories is...                 (but the fact is, it's no use
                                          to analyze)
this obsession.                          (this obsession)

Last chord with "this obsession" is an A major chord.
