[F#] [Em] [E]
Everybody asks me if I get tired of playing this song, and it's funny to me when artists
like sort of get irritated by the one song that kept them from being a pizza delivery
person, you know.
It would almost be like having a winning lottery ticket in a frame in your big beautiful house,
you know, and walking by it every day going, stupid luck.
Is it true I've heard this song, the key line, you actually saw some guy in a bar?
Is that a true story?
It is.
It was like I was in Chapel Hill, and I overheard this drunk guy hitting on this girl, and it
just was not going very well.
She was just killing him.
He was trying anything, and I was kind of listening to it, pulling for him a little bit.
I was like, come on, dude.
You can do better than this.
And then she opens the door for him a little bit.
She's like, I don't like my job.
I'm like, all right, man, here's your chance.
Make it count.
And he goes, oh, baby, I'll be your crying shoulder.
And I was like, hey, napkin, pen, down here.
Need a pen.
Very quickly.
He didn't mean to say it.
I was just, hey, that's awesome when my phone [N] rings and I'm doing shows.
I don't know who that is.
I'm not answering that.
Sorry, voicemail sucker.
I've answered this phone on stage a couple times and gotten the crowd to be like, ahhh!
And they're like, hello, what?
I'm like, don't worry, mom.
It's cool.
[E]
All right, let's play that song.
How's it go?
[B]
[E]
[B]
[E]
[F#] [B] [E]
[B] [E] The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
[B] stop me.
Steal [F#] my breath.
[E]
[B] Emeralds from mountains
[E] thrust towards the sky, never [B] [Em] revealing [F#] their depth.
[E]
[B] And tell [F#] that
[E] we [F#] belong together.
[B] Dress it [F#] up [G#m] with the trappings of [F#] love.
[D] [B] I'll be [A#] captivated.
[E] Hang [F#] from your lips, [B] stare out on the gallows [F#] of heartache that hang [E] from above.
[F#]
[E] [B] And I'll [G#m]
[E] be your crying shoulder.
[B] I'll be [F#] love's suicide.
[E]
[B] And I'll be [E] better when I'm older.
[B] I'll be
[F#] the greatest [E] fan of [B] your
[E] life.
[B]
[Em] [F#] [E]
[Em] [B] And rain [E]
falls angry on the tin roof [B] as we lie awake in [F#] my bed.
[E]
[D] [B] You're my survival.
[E]
You're my living proof.
[B] My love is alive, [F#] not [E] dead.
[G] [B] And tell [F#] me [E] that we belong [F#]
together.
[B] Dress [F#] it up [E] with the trappings of [F#] love.
[B] I'll be [F#] captivated.
[E] Hang [A#] from your lips, [B] stare out on the gallows [F#] of heartache that hang from [E] above.
[F#] And [E]
[B] I'll [G#m] be [E]
your crying shoulder.
[B] I'll be [Em]
[F#] love's suicide.
[E] [D]
[B] And I'll be
[E] better when I'm older.
[B] I'll be [F#] the greatest [E] fan of [B] your life.
And [G] then [G#m] I dropped out, [G#] burned up, [B] fought my way back from [E] the dead.
[Em] [G#m]
Zoomed in, turned [F#] on, remember the thing that [E] you, you said.
[C#m] [A]
[Em] [B]
And I'll [G#m] [E] be your crying shoulder.
[B]
I'll be [A#] love's [F#] suicide.
[E] And [B]
