The Same Old Songs, but Live

Molly Lewis, also known as sweetafton23, is a ukulele player who is currently a student at the University of Saltine Cracker.   A short video was posted in March of 2007 which featured the start of Molly performing Tom Cruise Crazy by Jonathan Coulton. Eventually, this video found its way to Jonathan Coulton himself, and he expressed a desire to see a full version. Shortly after, Molly posted a full cover of the song on her Youtube account. From that point, Molly continued doing various covers for some time before writing two original songs; MyHope in February 2008 and Road Trip in March 2008.

Intro: 
C#, A#m, F#, G#
C#, A#m, F#, G#



C#        A#m            F#                  G#
I used to get upset over giant papercuts and math equations
C#             A#m            F#                                 G#
Nothing stuck in my craw more than dog fights and shopping malls and tax evasion
C#        A#m                  F#             G#
and sexist tabloid culture and branjalina and papperazi
C#        A#m            F#                  G#
and proposition 8 and discrimination and neo-nazis




F#            F#m                  C#         G# 
But anymore these things don't seem to bother meeeee
F#            F#m                  C#        G# 
Ever since I started hanging out with Mr T
F#                               F#m                C#           G# 
He told me to stay out of drugs, and drink my milk, and treat my mother right
F#                          G# 
and I pity the fool who disagrees.



C#  A#m   F#   G#



C#          A#m                 F#                       G#
I disliked gwen stifani for her weird ass voice and that stupid hair of hers 
C#               A#m             F#                  G#
And it felt like J. K. Rowling conspired to kill off all my favourite characters 
C#         A#m               F#            G#
I disliked all the people I had to ride on the commuter bus
C#        A#m                F#                           G#
If nancy grace and I were to meet I would have kicked her in the uterus



F#            F#m          C#         G# 
But my attitude has had a total overhaul
F#              F#m       C#              G# 
Since mr t told me how to forgive them all
F#                              F#m                         C#         G# 
He said let the nay sayers nay, I don't care what they say, it's all jibber jabber anyway
F#                             G# 
And I pity the fool who cannot rhyme


- Solo -


C#         A#m              F#                   G#
he said I must go on, gotta help more kids gotta spread my knowledge
C#        A#m                     F#           G#
I said T please don't go he said, hold it kid, you're old and you're in college
C#          A#m                  F#                          G#
he said you know all that I know I can't teach you nothing I swear it's true
C#         A#m                    F#                              G#
go out and live your life because there's so much goodness in the world for you



F#                 F#m                 C#        G# 
You go watch as bob ross paints himself some happy trees
F#                     F#m          C#              G# 
And those happy cows on TV make you happy cheese
F#                           F#m                      C#         G# 
and he dug in his spurs, and rode into the sky, On that thing from the never ending story
F#                             G# 
And I pity the fool who mess with T.

Pity The Fool

# I figured out all of these chords just by watching Molly Lewis' YouTube video 
#for this song, so some of the chords may be off. When I couldn't find the right 
#chord, I used something else that sounded similar.

# Molly Lewis uses some chords formations that are different from the standard ones, 
#so I'll put those below:

(Going G string, C string, E string, A string)
Cm = 5333 (barre chord)
G# = 5343 (barre chord)
Baug = 4332
Fm = 5543 (barre chord)
F = 5553 (barre chord)

Intro: D# A# Cm G# D# Baug G# Fm G# (If you listen to the song, Molly switches back to G# momentarily.)

       D#                                 A#
When I met you, I thought you were really smart

         Cm                            G#
And even more so when we started going out

            D#                           Baug
It was your intellect that really won my heart

               G#                             Fm    G#
There was just so much stuff you knew so much about

      D#                       A#
I was hungry for knowledge, and I was single

         Cm                             G#
I didn't want to date and really hadn't planned to

             D#                                   Baug (Pause)
But you were cool and you were smart and you were multilingual

      G#                            Fm        G#
And I felt like I could really understand you

    Cm              G#
But then, it went downhill

          D#                           G# 
and we'll never get back to our better days

    Cm                G#
I'm done, I've had my thrill

      D#                A#              G#
and I think we ought to go our separate ways



       Fm             D#     A#     Cm
But it isn't you, it's me

  G#                   D#        A#    Cm   G#
I guess we just weren't meant to be

  D#                             Baug
I thought we were inseparable, I thought you were my friend

            Cm               F                  G#    Fm
But looking back now, it all makes sense at the end


                 D#                           A#
You're sometimes vague, and you're often inconsistent

           Cm                        G#
You've no opinions, you never take a stance

             D#                             Baug
You're so dispassionate, you always sound so distant

      G#                               Fm      G#
And I tell you, you know zilch about romance

    D#                   A#
And not once did you ever say you love me

            Cm                            G#
You sent no flowers, you NEVER called me "honey"

    D#                         Baug
And you always talked as if you were above me

       G#                                Fm     G#
And it felt like you were always needing money

    Cm              G#
Sometimes you generalize,

       D#                              G#
And on better days your tone is condescending

         Cm              G#
And when we talk books or films

    D#                          G#
You ALWAYS find a way spoil the ending



       Fm             D#     A#    Cm
But it isn't you, it's me

  G#               D#      A#    Cm    G#
I need someone more scholarly

  D#                                    Baug
I thought you had the answers, but your smarts are all pretend

       Cm              F                  G#       Fm
And my attraction only makes sense at the end


         D#           A#                Cm
You just believe everything you're ever told

          D#            G                     B#m  Cm
You never question, I'm pretty sure you don't fact check

     D#                      F (Play this like a normal F)
When someone puts ideas into your head

          G#                     Fm
You never blink, you immediately buy it

  D#                 Cm        G        F       Fm
I won't say that you have no integrity... but I might imply it


D# A# Cm G# D# Baug G# Fm G#


         D#                                 A#
It turns out you're not the guy I thought I knew

      Cm                               G#
and I think we need to stop and take a breather

        D#                                  Baug
I never know if what you're saying's really true

             G#                                Fm     G#
and frankly, sometimes, I don't think you know either

         D#                           A#
You have no real facts, your knowledge is all hearsay

        Cm                               G#
And I'm tired of playing all your stupid games

               D#                           Baug
You don't keep pictures of me, and you don't know my birthday
   
  G#                                Fm   G#
I don't think that you even know my name


         Cm            G#
You keep tabs on other girls

      D#                            G#
But I notice there's no article for me

       Cm              G#
You're known by all the world

     D#               A#             G#
So I guess I'm just a droplet in the sea


       Fm             D#   A#  Cm
But it isn't you, it's me

  G#          D#  A#  Cm  G#
I owe you no apology

       D#                      Baug
I know not to judge my company just based upon its looks

        Cm                               G#                      F
I'm too grown-up for your articles, it's time that I read books

Our American Cousin

Intro
G B7 Em C-D-G

      G              B7              Em        G7
The years are going by so fast it really is bewilderin'
      C                    Cm                  G             D 
And we'll be so-called "grown ups" and have mortgages and children
   G                 B7               Em           G7 
I hope we all gain worldliness, and wisdom, and maturity
    C               Cm               G            D
But I hope most of all that MySpace falls into obscurity

   G                B7             Em           G7
I hope our profiles all go dead, entombed in distant servers
    C              Cm               G            D
A monument of your youth, although lacking its observers
      G               B7               Em          G7
Your page will be an empty shell, when no one is behind it
   C                 Cm                    G                   D        D7
I hope your MySpace stays forever - and I hope that your kids find it


CHORUS
        G                                A 
How I hope that you forget about your MySpace
    C                                 Cm 
I hope it slips completely from your mind
       G        B7      Em                  A                  Cm
And I hope it stays up long enough for the next generation to find
       G                              A
And I hope that it embarrasses your children
              C                              Cm
I hope their bratty friends all forward it around
       G             B7           Em
And I hope that you forget your password
        A       C      G
So you cannot take it down


    G                     B7               Em               G7
If your kids think you vaguely square, it will be so much clearer
       C                  Cm              G                 D
When they laugh at the pictures you took in your bathroom mirror
     G                  B7             Em            G7
And all the bands you listen to, your kids will be exposin'
     C              Cm                   G            D      
"Who is this Soulja Boy you reference, who's 'Uh Oh Explosion'?"
           G           B7                   Em              G7
They'll marvel at how old you are, they'll "rofl" at your outfits
      C                   Cm              G             D        D7
Your style may pass as "vintage" in the future - but I doubt it

CHORUS

G-B7-Em-G7 C Cm D Cdim

              Em                                    G 
I hope your cynical kids say, "Holy crap, this is great
         A                               Am         D 
These comments date all the way back to 2008."
             Em 
I hope they dig through your pictures 
                        G 
And find some we might call compromising
              A 
I hope that seeing young Mom in a swimsuit
               Am               D 
Or smoking a hookah isn't too traumatizing
             C                   G 
But it will be past their comprehension
                     B7                         C         Cm  
They'll ask "Did Grandpa not give you enough attention?"

G A C Cm G-B7-Em A Cm

G A C Cm G-B7-Em A C-G

CHORUS

My Hope

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
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


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
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
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
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


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

lets run away


American Dream 

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
