Grand Ledge

Paul Baribeau

Paul Baribeau's warm, witty sounds and gnarly beard bring something truly unique and interesting to the folk-punk table. The South Central Michigan native collaborates often with friends such as Matty Pop Chart and Kimya Dawson, but has two self-released (&quot;25&quot; and &quot;Unbearable&quot;) and two Plan-It-X released (&quot;Paul Baribeau&quot; and &quot;Grand Ledge&quot;) solo albums, plus a very interesting Bruce Springsteen covers album.  http://www.myspace.com/paulbaribeau

A F#m Bm 2x

   A                F#m    Bm   
To say that you are cute,
               A                       F#m   Bm
 Would be like saying a strawberry is sweet,
 A                       F#m    Bm              A                    F#m     
'Cause a strawberry has secret flavors that are sharp, and tart, and red, and 
Bm
deep,

(it's the same for the rest of the song)

 And I would love to find you growing wild out by the woods,
 I would make a basket with the front of my t-shirt,
 And take home as many of you as I could,
 And to say that you are pretty,
 Would be like saying that the ocean is blue,
 Cause the ocean is full of all kinds of colors,
 And I see all kinds of things when I look at you,
 And I want to explore you
 With my tenni shoes off
 Standing ankle deep in a tide pool,
 With my khaki pants rolled up,
 And to say that you are funny would be like saying that the night sky is black,
 Cause the night sky is filled with stars and comets and planets that no one has seen yet,
 And I want to look at you,
 Lying down on my front lawn,
 I'll try to take you all in at once, but you just go on and on and on

I'll never get to know my friend Steven
He thought he found an answer
He was my firend since kindergarden
And then I watched him disappear.

I'll never get to know my friend Mellisa
She had a baby when she was sixteen
And now she works in a mall in Florida
Sometimes I wonder who she could have been.

I'll never get to know my mom's friend Bonnie
She's the one who made me want to be an artist
She could paint the prettiest pictures
until both her lungs collapsed.

I'll never get to know my mom's friend Harry
He had a low scrattchy growl of a voice
He'd sing "make me an angel that flies from montgomery"
And then he drank himself to death

I'll never get to know my sister
Because my sister's a crack head
But thank God I remember
When she was just a little kid

I'll never get to know my dad
Cause my dad lives in a dream
And even though I think he's the best
He seems so far from everything

And I'll never get to know my mom
Because my mom is an alcoholic
And I bet when she was young
She never saw it coming

You might wonder why I'm an a**h0le
I wonder I'm so uptight
I wonder why I just don't chill out
And learn how to have a good time
But sometimes I'm scared right out of my mind
And sometimes I just get angry
Because I've been let down by the people that I love
But I will not let down the people who love me.

Never Get To Know

A          F#m            A   F#m
I saw your eyes, they were brown.
    A       F#m       A  F#m
And all the stars went out.

Em               F#m
And the moon got lost,
       Em            F#m
and it fell in Lake Michigan.

       A         F#m             A   F#m
And a tidal wave tore through this town


  A         F#m       A   F#m
I saw your hair, it was brown
        A          F#m        A   F#m
And the roof flew right off my house

         Em       F#m   Em         F#m
And then my doors broke off their hindges

     A     F#m         A      F#m
And all my walls came falling down.


     A          F#m       A   F#m
You sipped your pop, it was brown
     A                F#m    A  F#m
you gave me a little cocacola kisses

    Em        F#m          Em              F#m
And my heart broke on the night that you left

                A              F#m             A   F#m
And there are a few pieces that I still haven't found.

Verse: (palm mute heavily throughout)

      G                      
The first letter I wrote you was way too long
                                   C
Way too crazy, way too scary, way too sad
The second one I wrote you was way too short
                                           G
Just said, "I love you, baby, please come back."
The third one that I wrote you was right down the middle
                                   C
Somehow it didn't quite sum it all up.
The fourth one that I wrote you, I did the best that I could do
                                  G
We both know that was never good enough.


Chorus:

           Am
Oh, I had nothing nice to say,
   C
I said it anyway.
                              G
I made myself feel a little better
        Am
Oh, but in the end, I guess,
                         C
It was probably for the best
                                    G
That I never bothered sending you those letters.

G
The fifth one that I wrote you was one big, long joke
                                                            C                            
You probably wouldn't think was very funny

The sixth one that I wrote was a strictly business note
                                                                                    G
Requesting you pay me back that last two months rent money

The seventh one was magic, it was totally romantic
                                                                    C
it would have made your little boxer shorts melt

But the eighth time that I tried, I swear I couldn't even write.
                                                   G
I just curled up and cried all by myself

     Am
Oh, I had nothing nice to say,
   C
I said it anyway.
                              G
I made myself feel a little better
        Am
Oh, but in the end, I guess,
                         C
It was probably for the best
                                    G
That I never bothered sending you those letters.

Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds

When we thought about things we were gonna do

We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   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

I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,

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,

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.

                   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.
