When the middle of the night comes and the good kids are all in bed Imaginary Jeri turns the lights all on instead I always have an eye out just in case she’s around then I tap on her window pane and hope she hears the sound Even when she hears me there’s no guarantee Imaginary Jeri might not be up for me When I see her light on I should take my own advice I should keep on keeping on Cuz she’s not all that nice 135 bpm, capo 2 Dm Am, Em C, C Em, G C C

A Steady Job 01:50
I’m not around enough to know about all this stuff but I’m sure your daddy is all you really need Holding down a steady job is hard enough when you believe in God just imagine those who don’t it’s so hard to succeed I see in your eyes A different glow of light You’re not looking at me And that’s not alright… I’m not around enough to be in charge of all this stuff to hold a steady job is not the same as to succeed 140 bpm, capo 2 Am, C Dm, G G7 C, E7 Am , C C#7 E7

I’ve seen some awful things I’ve seen some things that I’d like to forget I’m glad we met Sometimes we need to dig through shit I guess to find the specks of gold So, now I know. Hold me, hold on to me Don’t leave me, don’t send me back to those awful things More and more and more and more and more and more I’m starting to get bored Are you getting bored? I’ve seen and seen the same old things I wonder if you’d do some awful things Just for me Hold me, hold on to me Don’t leave me, don’t send me back to those awful things 155 bpm, capo 3 Bb Bb Bb G D A, G G A A, Bb Bb Bb G A Bb

You were begging me to stay awake another hour is all that this will take then you’d be on your way til tomorrow But baby I wake up with the sun I got lots of stuff I’ve got to get done I need what little sleep I can get You convinced me to stay awake another hour is all that we could take then we were on our way til tomorrow (break) When I beg you to stay awake another hour is all that this will take you see the tides have turned and now I want you 140 bpm G, C, F, Em, G C G C, Am G C

I snuck up behind you I wanted to see how you’d react to me I don’t think you noticed You barely even looked up to see One way or another your attention will belong to me Because I’m about to do what it takes to make you scream Try not to scream Try not to scream Try not to do anything Try not to scream I snuck up behind you I wanted to see how you’d react to me. One way or another I’ll do what it takes to make you scream Try not to scream Try not to scream Try not to do anything Try not to scream 155 bpm Em C Am Bb, G Em C D

A Stupid Man 02:24
I guess that I chose to believe The compliments that were clearly meant to deceive I really desperately Needed to believe that she meant those things And I’m not a stupid man Well maybe yeah I am Never been a stupid man Well maybe now for her I guess I am She says she’ll wear a hand me down wedding gown I’m not sure what that implies But she says it with that sparkle in her eyes And I’m not a stupid man But maybe maybe I am I was never a stupid man But maybe now for her I guess I am Maybe now for her I guess I am I guess I am I guess I am, I guess I am I guess I am, I guess I am Maybe now for her I guess I am 125 bpm, capo 2 Em Am, G C G C G, C Em Am, Em Am, C G

I’m not really sure what we’re heading for Will we meet again beyond today What can I show you to make you stay What can I say to make you go away This can go either way gone for good or center stage What can I show you to make you want to stay What can I say to make you go away This can go either way gone for good or center stage or center stage or center stage or center stage 130 bpm, capo 2 G A B C, D A, E G , E A

Will I ever really know the real you? Are you ever gonna let me in? I’m not talkin’ ‘bout your deep dark secrets the kind I know you revel in And I don’t mean your fears, your dreams though I hope to know those someday too Just tell me more of the ordinary things that make you you There’s something to be said about a mystery There’s something to be said about a mystery There’s something to be said about a mystery But, baby, share just a little Share a little history Tell me just a little about you so I’m not left to guess then I can say kind words about your thoughts instead of simply how you’re dressed There’s something to be said about a mystery There’s something to be said about a mystery There’s something to be said about a mystery But, baby, share just a little Share a little history (solo) Share something I can’t easily see or hear or touch something deep inside you that isn’t seen so much There’s something to be said about a mystery There’s something to be said about a mystery There’s something to be said about a mystery But, baby, share just a little Share a little history 115 bpm, capo 2 Am G Em, Am Em G, F C G, F G, G C, Am Em, Am G

I saw what I liked, I liked what I saw don’t mind if you spend the night I heard what you said, I liked what I heard from me you won’t get a fight I turn to the truth, when I run out of things to say to you at night confused I confess, I love how you’re dressed everything’s just right you and me can do almost anything you and me can do what we like I said what I meant, I meant what I said when I asked you to say goodnight I fumble for words, then stumble to bed forgetting to be polite you and me can do almost anything you and me can do what we like I saw what I liked, I liked what I saw don’t mind if you spend the night 130 bpm, capo 2 C G F C Am Em G, C G F C Am Em F G, Am Em Dm Em F, Am Em F G C

All I can see is the whites of your eyes the lines on your face are beneath the disguise Smile and wave so I see that you’re real tell me to speak so you hear how I feel Barely alive, barely awake Crawl from your coma for God’s sake Up on the roof at a quarter to five barely awake barely alive All I can see is the rest of our lives I can’t blame you for hiding your eyes Barely alive, barely awake Crawl from your coma for God’s sake Barely alive, barely awake Crawl from your coma for God’s sake 150 bpm, 3/4 Am Am Am Am Dm Am, Em Am, Am Am Em Am, C F C G, C F G C, C F G C

Glow? 01:52
Seeing you there, right where I left you makes me feel alright I know you’re alone, alone by the glow and it makes me feel alright most of the time most of the time it makes me feel all right most of the time most of the time it makes me feel all right but some of the time, I feel really bad that it makes me feel alright seeing you there, alone by the glow doesn’t feel so right most of the time most of the time it makes me feel all right most of the time I feel all right but not tonight 130 bpm, capo 3 Dm F, G G C G, Am Em G, Dm F Am

You look like the daughter of Jesus Christ Wizen up young lady take your own advice Smile like you mean it and sit up straight the violins and the mandolins are late You fancy me a poet, imagine that You’re living off the land, not off the fat If anybody asks you, it’s not your ring just roll your eyes and do not say a thing sit in the corner down on the ground so pleased to meet you don’t make a sound tie up your ankles get on your knees so pleased to meet you I bet you’re pleased to meet me (solo) You look like a poet, at least to me but frankly I know nothing about these things I just try to make a living, that’s all I do I’m so pleased to meet you 123 bpm A A, D A E, E E, A E A, A A, D A B, B B, E D A D E, D A E
