Bmin Gmajor Dmajor
In the place, I remember you best
By the creek, by the tree
Flowing hair and all the rest
And you said,
Bmin Gmajor Dmajor
(Why did you have to go?)
Baby I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Bmin Gmajor Dmajor
(Why did you have to go?)
Baby I’m coming home,
I’m coming home
In the place, I liked you best
By the malls, and the pools
Shining teeth and suffering no fools
And you said,
(Why did you have to go?)
Baby I’m coming home/ I’m coming home
In the place I loved you best
You said
Don’t make promises you can’t keep
Don’t make promises you can’t keep
D
What did they do to you out there?
You’re so mean now, and they cut off all your hair
What did they do to you out there?
You’re so mean now, and they cut of all your hair
Did you hunt them?
Did you shoot them?
Did you bomb them?
And kill them?
Emin Gmajor Bmin
When you came you brought your gun home
Polished it real nice
Said you couldn’t keep your promises
And you couldn’t sleep at night
Why did you have to go?
Baby I’m coming home, I’m coming home - Track Name: Stupid Jobs
-
When the fever hits/ and the money comes pourin’ in
We’ll be down on it/ we’ll be comfortable in our skin
And I remember you said:
Don’t let it go to your head
Stupid jobs are good to relax with
Stupid jobs are good to relax with
When the fever hits/ they’ll be posters on their walls
They’ll be strategy sessions, and conference calls
And I remember you said:
Don’t let it go to your head
Stupid jobs are good to relax with
Stupid jobs are good to relax with
Stupid jobs are good to relax with - Track Name: Days and Nights
-
I tried and I tried/ to keep you satisfied
Days and nights/nights and days/means and ends
Days and nights, nights and days
I’ve dreamt of you
I tried and I tried/ to keep you satisfied
Playing the night-time game/ singing the same refrain
Days and nights, nights and days
I’ve dreamt of you
And still you left me/ I don’t know why
You said you loved me/ and you made me cry
Days and nights, nights and days
I’ve dreamt of you
And still you left me/ I don’t know why
You said you loved me/ and you made me cry
Days and nights, nights and days
I’ve dreamt of you
Days and nights, nights and days
You weren’t true; you touched her body/ like lovers do
Like lovers do!
But I could never love you/As much as I love my guitar/and I tell you something young lady/
I am gonna be an indie rock star/ Cause I dream that I’m Hank Williams/ Or I was born in Tennessee
I dream that I’m Bob Dylan/ I dream that I’m Jeff Tweedy/ and I sing in a minor key
And I love that chord called G
Days and nights, nights and days
I’ve dreamt of you - Track Name: Fisherman
-
I try, you know I try
to see the sun everyday
Fisherman came and he showed me the way
go out fishin' everyday - Track Name: Moonbeam
-
Verse
C major shape, picking pattern
She is the prettiest girl I know/ prettiest girl I know
And she's moving along with the moonbeam/moving along her centrestream
Trying to find her way/ trying to make a change
Chorus
G Amin Amin, remove index finger
In her life 4x
Verse
Give me more caffeine / pump me up with dramamine
As I'm trying to find my way/ trying to make a change in my life
I'll be moving along with the moonbeam/ avoiding the mainstream
Chorus
In my life 4X
Something about the daylight/ Something about the moonlight/ something about the twilight
Chorus
In my life 4x
Instrumental break
Ending
As the sea to the ocean/ as the sea, to the ocean
Something about a naked emotion
As the sea to the ocean
As the sea to the ocean - Track Name: Bullets Flyin'

Jumpin’ Joe, from Ontario/ Says I wonder how far this will go?
Jumpin’ Joe, says I wonder how far this will go?
And I’m scared, let me go home/ And I wonder, will I be alone?
4x And I’ve loved you since we met
And I’ll ask that girl/ Will you marry me?
And I’ll beg that girl/ Please marry me
Then one day, in the month of May/ Sergeant says boys, we’re gonna take that hill
Take that hill boys/ if the Americans can’t do it/ I guess we will
And he’s scared/ wants to go home
And he wonders/ will he be alone
4x And I’ve loved you since we met
And I’ll ask that girl, would you marry me/
And I’ll beg that girl / Please marry me
Ending:
And Joe, it doesn’t bother me much
When you get home, we’ll just buy a crutch
You’ll take care of me, and I’ll take care of you
And we’ll make love, under a sky so blue - Track Name: Indie Rock Boys

All the stupid indie rock boys/ we’re playing with their indie rock toys
Wondering what to say
All the young women doing their Master’s/ wondering how to change the world
And taking their Yoga classes
Trying to start another new band/ tired of begging the old drummer
Fuck it, I’ll find another
And apathy’s heaven sent/ While all those people were dying
I was worried about making the rent
You can do what you want
Do what you can
I play in an indie rock band This part 2 x
Was feeling sorry for myself/ bruised and battered on the shelf
And would I play again?
And apathy’s heaven sent/ While all those people were dying
I was worried about making the rent
You can do what you want
Do what you can
I play in an indie rock band
Bridge:
Modern world, you confuse me
You see right through me
You can do what you want
Do what you can
I play in an indie Rock band
