Capo 1

Intro: D

For me 12 months is a long long time
For someone to suddenly change their mind
He was in and out, now it’s just too late
But I won’t lose one night of sleep
Worryin’ about what was meant to be
Yeah, his leaving is just a reason to celebrate

Chorus:
D D —4 quick downstrums on
I’m on a mission (pause) I got a cause (pause) each of these D’s
I’m gonna hit every rockin’ little honky tonk bar
And the way I’m thinkin’ it oughtta be against the law
Gonna see what kinda trouble I can find
I’m on a head on collision with a real good time
I’m on a mission, and it’s all about forgettin’ tonight

40 hour week and I’m out the door
Seems like all I’m working for
Is that time when I can finally just cut loose
I got a few good friends and they’re waitin’ to go
Just gimme some time to change my clothes
Til Monday morning there ain’t nothing I gotta do

CHORUS

Ain’t worried about a five day, no sleep business week
No escape workin’ girl blues
Yeah I’m just doin’ what any other modern day American woman might do

CHORUS

I’m on a mission, and it’s all about forgettin’ tonight
Yeah that’s right baby

Outro: D

D —4 quick downstrums
I’m on a mission

The Devil and Me–Trick Pony
written by Dean/Staley
I first heard this song live, before the album came out. Ira Dean, alone on the stage
with an acoustic guitar, his hat and sunglasses off, sitting on a stool, the lights
dimmed low…saying he’d promises his mother he wouldn’t sing this song until he was
sober. One of my all-time favorite concert moments; there wasn’t a dry eye there.
Needless to say, he got a couple standing ovations for it.

CAPO I

INTRO: D G D G

I’m not the kind that gets around, just another face in this little town
An everyday man trying to live life right
You wouldn’t know it to look at me, I live in silent misery
Or I lead a double life
I’ve battled with the bottle all alone for years
I’ve lied a thousand lies, and cried a million tears

CHORUS 1:
I’m too tired to fight it, and too ashamed to pray
I know the Lord must be bored with the promises I’ve made
So I sit here with my secret thinking no one else can see
And I’ll just keep it between the devil and me

Monday morning here I am hiding bottles in a garbage can
I take out the trash and pray no one sees
I keep my family in the dark ‘cause Lord knows it’d break their hearts
To see the rock be so weak
I’ve had a good old Baptist raising, so I’ve got no good excuse
I wish that I was stronger but here’s the honest truth

CHORUS 1

BRIDGE:
I’m hoping for a miracle, I know that I can change
No I’m not givin’ up, I know there’ll come a day, when

CHORUS 2:

I’m not too tired to fight it, or too ashamed to pray
And I know the Lord won’t be bored with the promises I’ve made
I won’t live here with my secret where no one else can see
No I won’t keep it between the devil and me
No I won’t keep it between the devil and me

Corrections welcome.

INTRO: C

No, nobody, nobody ever died of a broken heart

It must’ve hit ya like a hurricane
Now you’re swimmin with a ball and chain
Sweet love’s gone down the drain, down down

Girl you’re lookin like a walkin dead
You need to drag a brush across that head
The crack of noon and you’re still in bed
Bb (mute it–chinka-chink)
Wake up straighten up put on your makeup

No, nobody, nobody ever died of a broken heart
No, nobody, nobody ever died of a broken heart

You cut his head out of every picture

All his memories you can kiss ‘em bye, bye

When enough is for sure enough
It’s time to shake it out and shake it up
Get in the middle of a great big love
Bb (mute it–chinka-chink)
Wham-bam thank you ma’am, baby here we go again

SOLO

No, nobody, nobody ever died of a broken heart
