Gin Blossoms are an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona, United States. The band originally consisted of Robin Wilson (vocals, guitar), Jesse Valenzuela (guitar, vocals), Doug Hopkins (guitar),  Bill Leen (bass) and Phillip Rhodes (drums). Shortly after finishing their debut record &quot;New Miserable Experience&quot;, the band fired Hopkins (who was also the band's principal songwriter and penned their hits &quot;Found Out About You&quot; and &quot;Hey Jealousy&quot;) and replaced him with Scott Johnston.

The Gin Blossoms are an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona. They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption &quot;W.C. Fields with gin blossoms,&quot; referring to the actor's gin-ravaged nose. The band released three albums and had several hits in the mid 1990s, before breaking up in 1997. Five years later in 2002, the band reunited, released a DVD, resumed touring, and promised a fourth album.

C        D         Em       D       C      D     Em    D
All last summer in case you don't recall
C     D         Em       D          C      D     Em    D 
I was yours and you were mine -- forget    it    all
C          D         Em      D
Is there a line that I could write?
C    D        Em       D
Sad enough to make you cry
C        D              Em      D       C      D     Em    D
All the lines that you wrote to me were lies
     
The months roll past the love that you've struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
The things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought I'd won you give for free
     

C                        G          D
Whispers at the bus stop, well I've heard about
C                           G     D         C     D     Em 
Nights out the schoolyard I found out about you
D         C     D     Em     D
I found out about you
     

Rumours follow everywhere you go
Like when you left and I was last to know 
You're famous now and there's no doubt 
In all the places you hang out ...
They know your name and they know what you're all about
     

Whispers at the bus stop, well I've heard about
Nights out the schoolyard I found out about you
I found out about you
     

Street lights blink on through the car window
And the time too often on AM radio 
Well, you know it's all I think about 
I write your name drive past your house
Your boyfriend's over, I watch your light go out.
     

Whispers at the bus stop, well I've heard about
Nights out the schoolyard I found out about you
I found out about you

Whispers at the bus stop, well I've heard about
Nights out the schoolyard I found out about you
I found out about you

Tell me do you think it'd be alright 
If I could Just crash here tonight 
you can see I'm in no shape for drivin' 
And any way I've got no place to go 

And you know it might not be that bad 
You were the best I ever had 
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago 
I might not be alone 

Tomorrow we can drive around this town 
And let the cops chase us around 
The past is gone but something might be found to take it's place 

Hey jealousy

There's only one thing I couldn't start

Did you see the sky i think it means that we've been lost
D                  Em        C
I can't really help it if my tongue's all ties in knots

1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

...
