Jonathan Coulton is a geek rock/folk rock musician. He is best known for such compositions as &quot;Still Alive&quot; and &quot;Code Monkey&quot;, as well as his cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot's &quot;Baby Got Back&quot;. He is the Contributing Troubadour for Popular Science magazine and the musical director for John Hodgman's Little Gray Book Lectures.  Every week for a year Coulton released a new song for free on his website as part of his Thing a Week podcast, on topics as diverse as vengeful nerds, self-loathing giant squid, partially-imagined historical figures, and devotees of a certain Swedish prefab furniture store.

Version Anglaise :   A former computer programmer and self-described geek, Coulton tends to write quirky, witty, fanciful lyrics about a variety of topics such as science fiction and technology: a man who thinks in simian terms, a mad scientist who falls in love with one of his captives, and the dangers of bacteria. He does not often write topical songs, but he did release a song titled &quot;W's Duty&quot;, which sampled President George W. Bush, in 2005 and another called &quot;Tom Cruise Crazy&quot; in 2006.

Jonathan Coulton ist ein Singer/Songwriter, der vor allem durch seine &quot;Thing A Week&quot;-Serie bekannt wurde, im Verzuge derer er 51 Wochen lang jede Woche ein neues Lied komponierte. Ebenfalls grosse Wellen im Netz schlug sein Beitrag zu Valve's &quot;Portal&quot; - der Credit-Soundtrack &quot;Still Alive&quot;, zwar nicht von ihm gesungen, jedoch komponiert.

Artificial Heart

Intro: E D# G F G# F G D

A-riff
Shed the days like skin, pray for evenings in
                                                         D-riff
Hold their hands in the street when you walk them off to school
A-riff
A box too full to shut, cardboard paper cut
                                                          D-riff
Bleeding edge of a picture of your parents when they were cool

E           F#m       D      A
 So much to say, I forget to start
E             F#m  D            A
 There goes a day, fading as it passes
E           F#m          D     A
 Forget the grey, let it fall apart
Bm         D
 It's okay
              A-riff
I like you in glasses


Shovels in the sand, a play-doh wedding band
A drowning princess in a tangle of towels on the floor
An old familiar ache, the little pills we take
The thoughtless kindness of a coffee cup waiting by the door

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
It's okay

(bridge: same as intro, hold the D when it goes to the verse)

It's on the board, someone's been double-booking

I've got time,  how is your next week looking?

House shifts into place, a little breathing space
The radiators and the floorboards will argue while we sleep
There's water in the walls, the stairs make waterfalls
Down in the basement the soft sound of a river digging deep

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart

So much to say, I forget to start
There goes a day, fading as it passes
Forget the grey, let it fall apart
It's okay
I like you in glasses

Glasses

It's an amazing smile
        C#m             B

Everything flash and guile

        B                G#m        A	
Except a small black heart that no one sees but me

Pretending you're a friend to me

Say that we'll be nemeses 


        E
Being a brilliant man
        C#m             B
Going to great expense
        E
Devising a master plan
        A
Doesn't make much sense
        B                      G#m           A	
Unless you find the one you're destined to destroy

Nemeses

Verse:
        F                
On the day she finally left me
         C7           F
She left one thing behind
          F
Just a small box on the table
          C7           F
That she wanted me to find
            Bb             F
There was something bad inside it
          Bb              A
It was something that I should have left alone


Chorus:
     D              Em7     Gmaj7/F# 
Now everything is standing still
        G        D       Bm         A     Asus4  A
It was only my head that made it revolve
 D              Em7     Gmaj7/F#  
Everything was fine until 
        G         Bbmaj7   C          F
it was awful instead now watch me dissolve
 

Verse:        
       F
I was mine now, something secret
            C7          F
Something precious and rare
              F
And then it changed me, and I liked it
       C7             F
Now I wish it wasn't there
           Bb          F
Would you cancel my appointments
        Bb               A
Pretty sure I won't be coming in today


Chorus x2


Verse:
          F           
It's too late to say I'm sorry
    C7           F
Anyway it's not true
            F
There's a small box on the table
       C7                F
And I left it there for you
        Bb             F
And I really hope you like it
        Bb             A
If you need me I'll be anywhere but here

Dissolve

Verse 1
D    G      A       D
Long ago in days of yore
       G            A         D
It all began with a god named Thor
           A           Bm
There were Vikings and boats
         G                       D
And some plans for a furniture store
     D       G          A     D
It's not a bodega, it's not a mall
              G           A         D
And they sell things for apartments smaller 
     A           Bm          G                      D
than mine, As if there were apartments smaller than mine

Chorus
  A  Bm G                            D                         D    A    Asus4
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
  A  Bm G                         D                          D    A    Asus4         
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) selling furniture For college kids and divorced men
G        D     A7 A7sus4 A7
Everyone has a home
    G            D      A                    D    Dsus4 D
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there

Verse 2
   D      G      A        D
So rent a car or take the bus
         G             A        D
Lay your cash down and put your trust
       A              Bm        G                       D
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size
          G        A    D
Billy the bookcase says hello
              G           A         D
And so does a table whose name is Ingo
        A          Bm          G                              D
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl

I-ke-a (Ikea-a) just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
  A  Bm G                         D                          D    A    Asus4         
I-ke-a (Ikea-a) selling furniture For college kids and divorced men
G        D     A7 A7sus4 A7
Everyone has a home
    G            D      A                    D    Dsus4 D
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there

Bm    F#
Ikea: plywood, brushed steel
D     A7         Dadd4/A
Ikea: meatballs, tasty
Bm    F#
Ikea: Allen wrenches
D
All of them for free
F#
All of them for me

Verse 3
    D       G    A    D
I'm sorry I said Ikea sucks
                G         A  D
I just bought a table for 60 bucks
      A           Bm         G                          D
And a chair and a lamp And a shelf and some candles for you
        G       A         D
I was a doubter just like you
               G        A          D
'til I saw the American dream come true
       A       Bm         G                    D
In New Jersey, they got a god damned Swedish parade

Re: Your Brains

E  D/F# Ab C#7 F#m B7 A C#m E7 Am C G Em

Verse 1
E             Ab              C#7
Tom Cruise is so in love with Katie
F#m                              B7
At least all his people tell him so
             E                   Ab           C#7
And while he thinks that she's a very special lady
F#m                                      B7  Ab
It's probably not the way he'd choose to go
      A           E                   F#m                C#m
And a lifetime of longing looks would cause too much distraction
A                      E        B7
Good thing that he's not gay anymore

Chorus
E   Ab        A          E
Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy
F#m               B7      E     B7
Just be glad it's him not you
E      Ab       A        E
If you had Tom Cruise's troubles
     F#m                B7    Ab
You might be Tom Cruise crazy too
      C#m                  E7
You'd flash your big white shiny smile
      A             Am
You'd buy expensive shoes
          E       Ab  C#7
But you'd be the only man on Earth
     F#m       B7      E
Who couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise
   C#7     F#m        B7      E (re-intro)
Oh no, you couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise

Verse 2
E             Ab             C#7
Tom Cruise is always getting older
F#m				   B7
He knows he'll never be that young again
    E                     Ab            C#7
And when Tom Cruise looks back over his shoulder
F#m                                B7  Ab
He sees a thousand younger leading men
   A                   E
He knows someday he'll have to play
   F#m          C#m
An old retarded grandpa
      A               E              B7
While someone younger plays his sexy son

Chorus
E   Ab        A          E
Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy
F#m               B7      E     B7
Just be glad it's him not you
E      Ab       A        E
If you had Tom Cruise's troubles
     F#m                B7    Ab
You might be Tom Cruise crazy too
      C#m                  E7
You'd flash your big white shiny smile
      A             Am
You'd buy expensive shoes
          E       Ab  C#7
But you'd be the only man on Earth
     F#m       B7      E
Who couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise
   C#7     F#m        B7      E (re-intro)
Oh no, you couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise

Bridge
C                G                   Am        Em
Tom Cruise knows somewhere there's a place for him
C           G             Am     B7
He's not of this world anymore...

Verse 3
E            Ab            C#7
Somewhere in some secluded castle
F#m                                 B7
Poor Tom Cruise sits staring at the wall
        E                Ab            C#7
And the outside world is always such a hassle
F#m                          B7  Ab
Sometimes he won't go out at all
          A            E
There are millions who know his name
F#m       C#m
Everybody loves him
A              E            B7
Why is it that he feels so alone?

Chorus
E   Ab        A          E
Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy
F#m               B7      E     B7
Just be glad it's him not you
E      Ab       A        E
If you had Tom Cruise's troubles
     F#m                B7    Ab
You might be Tom Cruise crazy too
      C#m                  E7
You'd flash your big white shiny smile
      A             Am
You'd buy expensive shoes
          E       Ab  C#7
But you'd be the only man on Earth
     F#m       B7      E
Who couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise
   C#7     F#m        B7      E 
Oh no, you couldn't enjoy Tom Cruise

Intro:  E  Esus4 E  Esus4

E                    Esus4                E       Esus4
Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
  E                             Esus4
I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far
          E7
I see you met my assistant Scarface
      A                     E
His appearance is quite disturbing
        A                       B7
but I assure you he's harmless enough
       A                    E
He's a sweetheart, calls me Master
             A      B7      A      B7    
And he has a way of finding pretty things
    A                B7
and bringing them to me

Chorus
E
I'm so into you
        Bm
But I'm way too smart for you
        A
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
           Am
I'm not surprised that you agree
             E
If you could find some way to be
             Bm
A little bit less afraid of me
              A
You'd see the voices that control me
       Am
from inside my head
    D7                 E       Esus4 
Say I shouldn't kill you....yet

  E                        Esus4             E         Esus4
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
E                          Esus4
But I get the feeling that you don't like it
E7
What's with all the screaming?
         A                 E
You like monkeys, you like ponies
          A                      B7
Maybe you don't like monsters so much
        A             E
Maybe I used too many monkeys
         A         B7          A        B7
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony
A                 B7
making a gift for you?

Chorus
E
I'm so into you
        Bm
But I'm way too smart for you
        A
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
           Am
I'm not surprised that you agree
             E
If you could find some way to be
             Bm
A little bit less afraid of me
              A
You'd see the voices that control me

from inside my head
    D7                 E       Esus4 E E7

Bridge

            A                         Abm
Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
         A                  B7           
While up above the waves my doomsday squad
  E             E7
ignites the atmosphere
            A                   
And all the fools who lead their foolish lives
    Abm             C#7
may find it quite explosive
        F#m                              A                B7
Well it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here

Verse 3

    E                         Esus4                E       Esus4
You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
   E                             Esus4
So maybe you could cut me just a little slack
         E7
Would it kill you to be civil?
          A                  E
I've been patient, I've been gracious
         A                        B7
And this mountain is covered with wolves
          A                  E
Hear them howling, my hungry children
                 A        B7     A     B7
Maybe you should stay and have another drink
    A                  B7
and think about me and you

Final Chorus
E
I'm so into you
        Bm
But I'm way too smart for you
        A
Even my henchmen think I'm crazy
           Am
I'm not surprised that you agree
             E
If you could find some way to be
             Bm
A little bit less afraid of me
              A
You'd see the voices that control me
       Am
from inside my head
    D7                 E 
Say I shouldn't kill you yet
D7                 E
I shouldn't kill you yet
D7                 E    Esus4 E
I shouldn't kill you yet

Chances are your pants are not as fancy as the pair
   Bm                      E7
Of very fancy pants that Mr. Fancy Pants will wear
     A                            F#
When everybody's marching in the fancy pants parade
     Bm            E7
He's gonna pass the test
     Bm          E7
He's gonna be the best
    Bm       E7       A    
The best in terms of pants

You look in every catalog you shop at every store
Cause even though you have a hundred pants you want some more
When suddenly you see the greatest pants you've ever seen
And even though you know
It's gonna cost a lot of dough
You have to have the world's best pants

D                              D7
Say a little prayer for Mr. Fancy Pants
   Bm            Ab
The whole world knows
   Bm            Ab
It's only     clothes
    F    
And deep inside
     E7
He's sad

They make the big announcement and the trophy goes to you
You thought you had some fancy pants and now you know it's true
You look at Mr. Fancy Pants and hold the trophy high
Everybody cheers
While he's blinking back the tears
He doesn't even have the best pants

Say a little prayer for Mr. Fancy Pants
It's all he   had
But don't feel bad
He'd do the same
To you

D                          F#
Last week I left a note on Laura's desk
Bm                        D7
It said I love you signed anonymous friend
G                              Dmaj7
Turns out she's smarter than I thought she was
G                             D           F#
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
    Bm               F#aug      
And I'm alone during couple skate
Bm7                          E
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
      G              A                  G           A
But I know that I'll forget the look of pity in her face
         G            A               G           A
When I'm living in my solar dome on a platform in space

Chorus
                        D           A
Cause it's gonna be the future soon
            Bm             G
And I won't always be this way
          D                  A        
When the things that make me weak and strange get 
Em D/F#     G     A
engineered away
                  D          A
It's gonna be the future soon
           Bm               G
I've never seen it quite so clear
    Gm               D              Em
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
A            D
it's already here

Verse 2
D                             F#
I'll probably be some kind of scientist
Bm                        D7
Building inventions in my space lab in space

I'll end world hunger I'll make dolphins speak
G                                  D          F#
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
   Bm                 F#aug
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Bm7                     E
Building them one laser gun at a time
       G             A
I will do my best to teach them
      G                  A
About life and what it's worth
       G               G                 G           A
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth

Chorus

Cause it's gonna be the future soon

And I won't always be this way

Bridge
Bb                    F
Here on Earth they'll wonder
     Bb             D
As I piece by piece replace myself
        Bb                      F
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
Em                     A7sus4 A7
But I'll still feel so alone
Em                   Aaug
Until Laura calls me home

Verse 3
D                             F#
 I'll see her standing by the monorail
Bm                               D7
 She'll look the same except for bionic eyes
G                              Dmaj7
 She lost the real ones in the robot wars
G                               D        F# 
 I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say it's not your fault
   Bm
Or is it?
                   F#aug
And she eyes me suspiciously
Bm7                     E
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
         G                 A
She will scream and try to run
            G               A
But there's nowhere she can hide
       G            A                 G         A
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride

Only good things will find us

You Ruined Everything

E  B7          C#m  A
My monkey gets busy sometimes
E  B7             C#m               A           E
My monkey's got a lot of stuff he's gotta think about
   B7          C#m   A
My monkey gets tired sometimes
E  B7            C#m              A              Amaj7
My monkey wishes he was something you could live without

                         B7
Cause every monkey needs alone time
Amaj7                 B7
To eat bananas in the sunshine
Amaj7                        B7
It's feast or famine, it's a fine line
Amaj7                             B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you

E  B7          C#m      A
My monkey gets frazzled sometimes
E  B7            C#m         A                 E
My monkey has an ulcer and a stressful time at work
   B7          C#m    A
My monkey gets bitter sometimes
E  B7               C#m            A             Amaj7
My monkey's not the only one who's acting like a jerk

                             B7
And while he doesn't like to name names
Amaj7                  B7
And he's not trying to assign blame
Amaj7                     B7
It's hard to focus on his own game
Amaj7                             B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you

E  B7          C#m      A
My monkey gets angry sometimes
E  B7          C#m      A                        E
My monkey says a lot of things he doesn't really mean
   B7          C#m      A
My monkey gets lucky sometimes
E  B7          C#m      A                            
   Amaj7
My monkey thinks that you're the bestest girl he's ever seen

Amaj7                           B7
He says he'll stay with you for always
Amaj7                      B7
It doesn't matter what the job pays
Amaj7                     B7
Cause everybody has their bad days
Amaj7                             B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you

My Monkey

G
I woke up this morning
        C                       G
I had a scone and a large house blend
    C             Cmaj7  Am             C                     D
And then a little conver-sation with my squirrel and chipmunk friends
           G
I said I'm sick and tired of winter
      C                G
And I wish that it was spring
C                 Cmaj7        Am              
And then a little fellow named Robin Redbreast
C           D     EbDim
 Began to sing

And he sang
Em                                        Am
 Ooh ooh child, what'd you think the cold winter's gonna last forever
Em                                         C             D
 Ooh ooh child, now's the time for all the people to get together
   C
Outside

[chorus]
                        G
Cause it's the first of May, first of May
        C              G
Outdoor fucking starts today
    D
So bring your favorite lady
      C          C/B  C/A G       G7
Or at least your favorite lay
    C                     G
The water's not cold baby dip in your big toe
    D                    G
Maybe I'll see you in flagrante delicto
C                C
Grass below you, sky above
Am        C6    C                    Cadd2
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called..

  G
I thanked him for the information
          C                    G
I cried a little when he flew away
  C             Cmaj7       Am                   
I watched an episode of The People's Court
      C                D
And I tried to plan my day
  G
I called up my old lady
           C                   G
She wasn't home so I called my girl
  C                  Cmaj7     Am          
I asked her if she'd like to join me as I
C              D      EbDim
 Entertain the world

And I said
Em                                        Am
Ooh ooh child, I'll bring a blanket and I promise I will brush the

                                                  ants off
Em                                             C
Ooh ooh child, you're gonna like it when we're taking each other's

                                                  D

Outside

[repeat chorus]

      G
So we went to the park together
        C                     G
We were walking in the midday sun
    C      Cmaj7    Am             C      
We met all kinds of people and we
               D
We fucked everyone
   G
We fucked a lady who sells ice cream
            C                   G
We fucked a man with a tan Shar Pei
C            Cmaj7  Am                C
Everyone who needed fucking well they
                  D     EbDim 
They got fucked today

So come on
Em                                      Am
 Ooh ooh child, open your mind and your heart, feel-the-spirit moving

                                       through you
Em                                            C                    D
 Ooh ooh child, you'll feel the warmth of the love when I stick it to

First Of May

Csus2                                Dm
Only a moment ago we had nothing but time
G                                          Am
Everything lasted forever and you were all mine
       Dm      G
Only a dream I know
               Em   Am
Thinking you’d never go
            Dm          D7
Tearing off pieces of myself
             Gsus4 G Gadd9 G
Just for the time it buys me

Chorus

Am7/E F        Csus2
Fold my heart up small
   Am7/E  F    E7
Or break it into pieces
Dm                 Am
Find somewhere and keep it there
A#       F    G   Csus2
Take it when you go

Verse 2

Csus2                                               Dm
There in the frame of your face in the cast of your eyes
G                                          Am
I saw this coming but still I am caught by surprise
            Dm     G
All of this time I knew
            Em    Am
That I’d be losing you
             Dm             D7
That doesn’t mean that it’s OK
             Gsus4 G  Gadd9 G
That doesn’t mean I’m ready

Chorus 2 into bridge

Am7/E F        Csus2
Fold my heart up small

Or break it into pieces

Find somewhere and keep it there
A#       F    G   Am  D7
Take it when you go

When you go

When you go

Verse 3

Csus2                                             Dm
Some things we always remember, some things we forget
G                                       Am
No way to make it up now no room for regret
                   Dm G
That’s no good for anyone
         Em     Am
And so I come undone
         Dm               D7
Now I am less than what I was
           Gsus4 G Gadd9 G
Whatever’s left is yours now

Chorus

Am7/E F        Csus2
Fold my heart up small

Or break it into pieces

Find somewhere and keep it there

Take it when you go

JoCo Looks Back

Intro: |A |G D|A |A | 

Verse 1
A                                                 G
I guess I was skeptical when I first met Dr. Martin
A
He said we could build a baby out of DNA
    D                                                         
And although it was expensive it was legal in the states
                A     G  D  A
where it wasn't banned
       E                          D                C
It was Betty who suggested we cut out the parts of me
               A    G  D  A
that she can't stand

Pre-chorus 1
   F#m         Aaug6/F        A6/E       D#m7b5   
So we made an appointment and Betty went alone
F#m                 Aaug6/F          A6/E             D#m7b5
They worked out the details and then called me on the phone
       Bm              E  E6 E7
To say congratulations Dad

Chorus
A                      E          D         A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A                 E           D         A       F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
    B7                  D            E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

Verse 2
A                                            G
Betty was pretty firm about our baby being human
A
I said we should give him wings and nice prehensile tail
         D                                                        A     G   D   A
He could travel with the circus making money, making friends with clowns
E                                D                    C            A    G   D   A
Betty said that's stupid and for God's sake would you turn that TV down?

Pre-chorus 2
    F#m             Aaug6/F          A6/E            D#m7b5
Now I've seen Betty happy, but she's never been like this
    F#m                  Aug6/F            A6/E        D#m7b5 
She glows like someone's girlfriend in the middle of a kiss
    Bm          E  E6 E7
And I'm excited too

Chorus
A                      E          D         A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A                 E           D         A       F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter
    B7                  D            E
And Betty says that our baby will be better than me

Bridge
C                                      A
And the love inside me thunders like a storm
C                                       A
And I hope the tube they keep him in is comfortable and warm
C                                          D
I hope the nutritive solution that they're feeding him
                 E
doesn't make him fat

Verse 3
A                                                       G
Betty's been spending lots of time out late with Dr. Martin
A                
She says that they're working on the baby every night
        D                                                             A   G  D  A
And Dr. Martin brings her presents like new underwear and a bottle of wine
E                                  D                C           A  G  D  A
I'll just keep on writing checks until the day that baby is mine

Pre-chorus 3
F#m              Aaug6/F         A6/E           D#m7b5
He might have my moustache or my freckles or my eyes
F#m             Aaug6/F      A6/E         D#m7b5
Betty says it's better if we keep it a surprise
  Bm              E   E6 E7
I hope I find out soon 

Final Chorus
A                      E          D         A
Now things are getting better for Betty and me
A                 E           D         A       F#m
We're making us a baby that's just like me only better
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be taller
    B7                  F#m
And Betty says he'll be smarter

And Betty says that our baby will be better than
D            E
Baby will be better than
D            E           A  G  D  A
Baby will be better than me.

Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow

Intro |E   Amaj7|E   Amaj7|

Verse 1
E                Em           
All alone by the table of food
      D        G           D
in my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie
E                Em              
Only thinking of something to say
       D      G         D
in the moment after the girl goes by
G         G/F            Em7            Edim           
 Everyone else is having fun or else pretending to
G       G/F         Em7  Edim           
 I eat another crudite

Chorus
Cadd9    G/B
 I quit, I'm done
 Asus4                          D
'cause I don't think it's gonna turn out OK
     Cadd9            G/B
It's no fair and it's no fun
   Asus4                 D
If every time it's gonna end the same way:
Dbdim      Cm             G
 Me: zero, Big bad world: one

Verse 2

E                   Em             
At the office we're all having cake
            D         G          D
'cause it's someone's birthday I don't know who
E                    Em               
Get my plate and I'm scanning the room
        D    G             D
and the only seat is right next to you

A#                                              C
Then we can sit here on the couch just holding hands

And I'll say that you're beautiful
           A#                  A#m
And you'll say I'm moving too fast
      A#
But I won't mind

Because I know in time

            A#              C
You will be soft rocked by me

You will be soft rocked by me

I use the passive voice to show how gentle I'll be
       Dm
When I soft rock you

You will know it's true

I'll smile an understanding smile when your boyfriend calls

And you'll go, but you'll think of me

Well that's me: I'm sensitive

Anyway I never see your face cause your window's up too high

And I saw you shopping at the grocery store

It's four in the morning, the end of December

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
Am                      F
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
        Dm7                     Em
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
Am                 Bm                   Am   
I hear that you're building your little house

She said that you gave it to her

Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Am                           F
You'd been to the station to meet every train
Dm7                       Em
And you came home without Lili Marlene


        Am         Bm         Am            Bm
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life

She sends her regards.

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
Dm7                 Em
What can I possibly say?
Am                         F
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Dm7                      Em
I'm glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Am            G             Am           G
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes

I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

She said that you gave it to her

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town

I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

C           D
be...       be... 

Suggestion: during the verses, it can sound pretty cool if you
get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
:)
