(chorus)
Veronica’s a song that’s in my head
Veronica’s a name i’ve often said
But her friends say she’s too good for me
It’s kinda like a west side story
She’s the only one for me
She’s the only girl i see
Can’t seem to find a damn thing wrong with ya –
Veronica

Everyday, i see her friends talkin’ ‘bout me
But i know there’s somethin’ there tha no one can see

I was at a party with my mind in the gutter
She walked in behind me with her friend and her brother
Stepped onto the dance floor shakin her hips
Thought I might bust when she licked her lips
Sometimes I wish I was someone like Brad Pitt
She’d walk right over to me and then she’d say hey we should split
Sometimes I wish that I had a girl that looked that fine
Not thinkin about forever just six minutes of her time

(Chorus)
One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my heart begins to quake
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new
That’s just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she’s got me on my knees
Five minutes and she’s got me beggin please
Another minute and she shows me somethin new
I need six minutes with you…
Six minutes

(Verse 2)
I was at work with my mind in the gutter
She was in a magazine her face on the cover
Lying in a room that was lit by a candle
That’s the type of girl that I wish that I could handle
Sometimes I wish that I looked like Tom Cruise
Cause in a crowded room but I’d be the one that she would choose
Sometimes I wish a girl like that could just be mine
Not thinkin about forever just six minutes of her time

(Chorus)
One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my heart begins to quake
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new
That’s just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she’s got me on my knees
Five minutes and she’s got me beggin please
Another minute and she shows me somethin new
I need six minutes with you…
Six minutes

Sometimes I feel like the Catcher in the Rye
Sometimes I wish that I could catch your eye
Sometimes I wish that I could be that guy,,,

Yeah!
Woah, time is passin by
Woah, I’m losin my mind
I’m losin my mind
Six minutes of your sweet time

Then you keep repeating the C Em C G D progression as it fades out

G, Am
life is good

life is great

life is unbelievable

G Am, B
life is hard, life is cruel

life is so beautiful

G, Am, B,
ooh yeah ooh yeah

la life is unbelievable

G, Am C (hold note)
oh yeah oh yeah

la life is unbelievable

somewhere in life and yet on my way to anywhere
C (carry this on through the verse)
a woman named Betris serves me coffee

and she smiled as if she cares

it reminds me of this painting

that I think I’ve often seen

the kings behind the counter

serving coffee to James dean

life is good
life is great
life is unbelievable
life is hard, life is cruel
life is so beautiful
ooh yeah ooh yeah

la life is unbelievable
oh yeah oh yeah
la life is unbelievable

On my way to garden city
On my way to anywhere
A guy named Patrick gives me directions
and he smiles as if he cares
it reminds me of this movie
that I think I’ve often seen
pretty much this situation
except I’d still be Steve McQween

So what would you do if you wake tomorrow

no more sorrows, your dreams came true

Am C (carry this on through this part)
so knock on wood and cross your fingers

and count your blessings

it might be you

So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
All your gray sky’s turned blue
how many days do you think your given
so get on livin it’s up to you

“Girl on TV” – LFO

—————————————————————————-

Tabbed by: Alex
Email: american_classic5@yahoo.com

Tuning: Standard

Chorus:
I wish for you on a falling star,
Wondering where you are.
Do I ever cross your mind in the warm sunshine?
She?s from the city of angels,
Like Betty Davis, James Dean, and Gable.
Never know what she means to me.
I fell for the girl that’s on TV.

Verse 1:
I met her at a county fair.
She wore a green dress, and everybody there
I felt out of place ?till she looked into my eyes.
Shook her hand around 9 P.M.
And I?m never gonna be the same again.
Never had to be on a movie screen,
To be the leading lady in all my dreams.

Pre-chorus:
Shooby-doo-wop, and scooby snacks,
I met a fly girl, and I can’t relax.
The only problem is she’s a movie star, ooh.
My friends, they won’t believe me.
If they could only see me.
At the risk of sounding cheesy,
I think I fell for the girl on TV.

Repeat Chorus

Verse 2:
Everybody knows her name.
Wanna take her picture, and they?re glad she came.
But I just want to be there when she’s down, down.
I don’t want her autograph.
I just want to call her up and make her laugh.
Never had to be on a movie screen,
To be the leading lady in all my dreams.

Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus

Enjoy! )
