And it’s so good to hear him whispering his wishes inside you.
Play along, there is no wrong, you’ve got to let him guide you.
You’re the first sweet little girl to have this love of mine.
Forever with me till the end of time.
Time!
Wake up baby to the fact that you’re poor soul’s unclever.
Change your mind give me your life, and you can live forever.
Play along, there is no wrong, you’ve got to let him guide you.
It’s so good to feel him whispering his wishes inside you.
Inside you!
I got to protect it, I got to keep it in my soul.
I got to protect it, I must believe it, it’s my code.
I got to protect it, I got to keep it in my soul.
I got to protect it, I must believe it, it’s my code.

(spoken):
And then I went to the end of it, and the old man, well, he’s ready to die.
And he said, “Well, Tom, sincerity’s the best gimmick. Remember that.”
And I say, “All right, be sincere, that’ll win it?” He said, “That’s it.
Sincerity and honesty,” he said, “will do it. It’ll trick ‘em every time.”
I said, “Well, sincerity and honesty; I never tried that.”

This is the spot of where I jump off
This is the place I wear the save face
This is the bar of where I lose heart

Over the pain and I’m past the bleeding
Its not the tracks its where they’re leading

This my best king carnivore
This is my scream its just a dull roar
These are my hands I’ve shown you before

Over the pain and I’m past the bleeding
Its not the tracks its where they’re leading

Hasn’t been so bad yet I’ll do it again
Error of my ways, maybe one of these days
Hasn’t been so bad yet I’ll do it again
Error of my ways, maybe one of these days

Its irrelevant I’m an elephant she’s a mouse
Its irrelevant I’m an elephant she’s a mouse

# As transcribed by Raj Lal
#Intro:
#
VERSE 1:

-----------------------------

Gotta own up on my own somehow
Toss the beginning and try to live it down
’n work my way out
I been so down about it
VERSE 2:

--------------------------

It gets the same every time I shy
Away from the blame and I stand my time
You can understand why
I been so down about it
Chorus:

--------------------------------------

She’s gonna give me all the time I need
to finish it
and if I can’t I’ll sleep
over
Verse 3:

--------------------------------

And out like a light when it’s not plugged in
fading around if it starts again
you just don’t get it when
I get so down about it
Verse 4:

-------------------------------------

I drop you a hint so I hope you don’t catch
You fumble your keys and I throw the latch
You’ll still worried that
I been so down about it
Bridge:
Out of it so I’d hope she’d be there
Talk to her as I climb the stairs
I told her
Chorus:

-----------------------------

Outro: (a couple of times) “gotta own up on my own somehow” , “gotta own…”

Chords Used:
C: X32010
Em: 022000
Am: 002210
F: 133211
G: 355433

I thought we had an understanding there
that wouldn’t leave too soon
Figure it over and you’ll find out where
your green shirt’s gone
Had to hear about your Danish boyfriend
I forced a swoon
So I went over to your dresser drawer
and now I got it on
Chorus. Weird chords (Don’t know the names of these chords. Perhaps you do?)
chord 1: 006460 (e-E)
chord 2: 0064×6
chord 3: 0042×4
chord 4: E
chord 5: 004422
chord 6: 008866
chord 7: 006644
start over (this part is played twice)
I got it on
your favourite Tee
It never looked as good on you
as it looks on me
I got it on
I’ll wait and see
I used to wear it every day
and now it’s twice a week
(verse chords start here)
twice a weak…
oh…
oooh…
(etc – listen to the record and you’ll get it, I hope)
Fill in the shadows of a certain corner
you used to sit there
got me a brand new lamp, plugged it in
and now the dark don’t fit there
Ain’t got the time or the inclination
to see this through
I’m lookin up, climbing out of the station
and the sky’s too blue
Chorus:
The sky’s too blue
The sky’s too blue
It mightn’t suit me quite as well
as it used to
I got it on
Your favourite tee
I used to wear it every day…
(last part of the chorus: after strange chord 5, pick the strings of an E9
(?) chord – 001420, that is)

LUKA (Suzanne Vega)

& chris bray

Intro: E5 B5 A5 B5

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you’ve seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don’t ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don’t ask me what it was

Maybe it’s because I’m clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it’s because I’m crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don’t ask why
You just don’t argue anymore
You just don’t argue anymore
You just don’t argue anymore

Yes, I think I’m okay
Walked into the door again
If you ask that’s what I’ll say
And it’s not your business anyway
I guess I’d like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don’t ask me how I am
Just don’t ask me how I am
Just don’t ask me how I am

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you’ve seen me before
If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don’t ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don’t ask me what it was

And they only hit until you cry
And after that you don’t ask why
You just don’t argue anymore
You just don’t argue anymore
You just don’t argue anymore

#Bit Part – Lemonheads
#
#Saw that Bit Part wasn’t on the archive, so I decided to figure it out and
#post it. I’m pretty new to the guitar, so this is probably off some from the
#real chords used, particularly the Bm D in the verse/chorus. I started out
#playing the intro chord progression with bar chords, but I found that playing
#the C-D slide as follows sounds cooler:
#
#

E-|-0-----0-|

#

B-|-1--/--3-|

#

G-|-0-----0-|

#

D-|-2--/--4-|

#

A-|-3--/--5-|

#

E-|-x-----x-|

#
#If anybody finds any mistakes I’d appreciate knowing about them. My e-mail
#address is labonte@seas.upenn.edu.
#
# Enjoy,
# Guy LaBonte

#(Intro)
[C-D] [C-D] I want a bit part in your life
A walk on would be fine
I just want a bit part in your life
(A bit part in your life)
I want a bit part in your life
Rehearsing all the time
I just want a bit part in you life
(A bit part in your life)
Little more than a camio
Nothing traumatic when I go
(Bridge? – same as Intro)
[C-D] [C-D] I want a bit part in your life
A walk on would be fine
I just want a bit part in your life
(A bit part in your life)
I want a bit part in your life
Rehearsing all the time
I just want a bit part in you life
(A bit part in your life)
A little more understanding
I won’t need reprimanding

Bite my tongue
and I won’t say a word against anyone
but I don’t wanna get my fingers wet
unless it’s an accident
fell out on the street
now I’m watching my shoes and I grit my teeth
but I don’t have to look that way
if I had half a say
[D/F#]It’s about time
[D/F#]It’s about time
[D/F#]lick my lips
[D/F#]and I won’t hear the end of this
On your knees a reassurance
buy some time and come back for it
before long
before it’s gone
patience is like bread I say
I ran out of that yesterday
it’s about time
it’s about time
enough about us
let’s talk about me
if not about you
It’s not about sunshine
It’s about time
It’s about time
touch my leg
It’s smooth but there stubble there
I’ll fall back and let’em go
only when I know you know
I don’t know
make me sure
Have your people contact mine
and keep your lawyer on the line
it’s about time (x4)

#”Kitchen”
#
#Typed by: Chris Bray (cbray@comp.uark.edu)
#
#(For a more accurate version of this, buy the “It’s a Shame About Ray”
#songbook).
#Intro: | G | Cadd9 | (x 4)
Thrilled to be in the same post code as you.
I tell you things I know you’d like to know,
Treat you to cake every night.
Suddenly talk and it’ll make you fright.
Smile at me, I’ll hold you really tight,
Follow you into bed, run around till mornin’,
We’ll stay awake all night.
We’ll repeat the same stories, but of course never in front of friends.
How it all started in the kitchen.
Hey!

Remember the time you said we should wait awhile?
You’d let me know when you changed your mind.
Yeah, I was sad for some time.
But 12 hours watching me at the wheel
Made me realize what you really feel.
Won’t have to hurt anymore.
Ooohhh..….
Walking you home along Mt. Vernon Street,
You told me secrets I was shocked to know.
Pretend it was me every night.
I’m thrilled to be in the same postcode as you.
I’ll come and visit, maybe never go,
Follow you into bed.
Run around till mornin’ and we’ll stay awake every night.
We repeat the same stories, but of course never in front of friends.
How it all started in the kitchen.

Lover don’t turn your head. Just let me walk away.
I thought I might have to say, you’re asking the wrong guy.
She wonders how. Thinks she knows now.
She’ll be right. They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.
Break: E A Amaj7 D2 E A
Is nothing okay with you. Is nothing okay with me.
Is anything happening to have to go to sea.
He wonders why. The indigo guy,
He’ll be right. They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.
Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, nobody has got no one to go to.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Whoah (Lover don’t turn your head.)
Lover don’t turn your head.
No. (Lover don’t turn your head.)
Is nothing okay with you?
