Brandi Carlile - Case of You chords
Start Jamming...
Right in the very first song, second verse, the lyric,
I want to renew you, I want to shampoo you.
I was like, no.
It cannot be forgiven, that lyric.
I didn't like it then.
I don't like it now.
But I don't hate it.
I just felt like it was such a vulnerable, submissive.
I guess I hadn't had anybody shampoo me at that point
in my life either.
So I didn't really, I mean, I wasn't taking it in,
as [D] an adult.
[B]
But when I met my wife, we decided
to take a road trip together out in northern Michigan.
And she brought glue, the aloe glue.
And I was like, laughed [E] it off.
And I was like, I don't want to listen to Jenny Mitchell.
I can't stand Jenny [Gb] Mitchell.
And she was [N] like, this is our first fight.
I swear to God, we'd never lie to you.
This was our first fight.
[A] She goes, [Db] you can't appreciate Jenny Mitchell.
She's British [B] and very condescending.
[N]
I was like, well, no.
It's just the lyric, I want to renew you.
Did she listen past that song by any chance?
And I was like, no, I just decided,
I just don't think that Jenny Mitchell is very tough.
Because I thought she didn't sound tough.
And my wife goes, do you know what Little Green is about?
And obviously, I didn't.
But Little Green is about Jenny Mitchell,
when [Ab] she's very young and poor and living [Gb] in Canada
and freezing cold by [Bb] herself, having
to give up [Gb] her daughter after having her for nine months
and making that incredibly powerful decision.
[A] And she put it on, and I cried my eyes [B] out.
And the reason why that's so important
is because it didn't just teach me to love Jenny Mitchell.
It taught me to [Am] understand that femininity a little bit better,
to understand that tough didn't necessarily
[N] mean what I thought it meant.
My wife has a way of opening my eyes to music,
and I just can't not sing this song.
So I'm going to do the [Db] scary thing,
and I'm going to sing this really hard song for you right now.
It's really going to be pretty awesome.
[Db]
[Ab] [Bbm]
Sequence, don't fail me now.

[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm]
[Db] Just [Ab] before our love got lost, you said,
[Bbm] I am as constant a thunderstorm, [Ebm]
constantly in a [Db] darkness.
Well, [Ab] I'm not.
You and me, I'll be in the boat, [Db] on the back of a cartoon
[Ab] coaster,
[Bbm] in the blue TV screen.
I, [Ebm] I am at [Db] the panel, oh, [Bbm] Canada.
[Ebm] Your [Db] face sketched on a [Ab] twilight.
[Gb] I love you.
[Fm]
[Ebm] You're so bitter, [Db] so sweet.
Oh, I could drink a kiss [Bbm] from you, darling.
And I would [Ebm] [Db] still be on my feet.
[Ab] I'd still be on my [Db] feet.

[Ab] [Eb]
[Dbm] Oh, I am a lonely [Ab] painter.
[Bbm] I live in a box of paints.
[Ebm] I'm frightened by [Dbm] the devil, but [C] I'm drawn to [Bbm] those words
that [Ab] ain't afraid.
Do you [Db] remember when you [C] told me love was a touching [Ab] song?
[Bbm] Well, shut up.
[Ebm]
[Eb] Part of you [Dbm] pours out of me.
[Ab]
[Bbm] [Ab] Time.
And [Gb] you are my life.
[Fm] [Ebm]
You're [Db] so [Ab] sweet.
Oh, I could drink a kiss [Bbm] from you.
[Ebm] You'd [Db] still be on my feet.
[Ab] I'd still be on my feet.
[Ab]
[Bbm]
[Ebm] [Db]
[Eb]
[Db] She had [Cm] a mouth like yours.
She knew your [Bbm] life.
She knew your doubt.
[Eb] And she said, [Ebm] go to [Db] him.
Stay with him if you can.
[Cm] But be [Eb] prepared to [Ab] bleed.
[Gb] And you're so
[Fm] [Ebm]
sweet.
Oh, I could drink a kiss from [Bbm] you.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Gb] [Ab] I'd still be on my feet.
