_ [D] [G] You're probably wondering why we [C] asked you here [G] today.
We're going on tour, mostly the East Coast and [A] Midwest, [D] and it's happening in less than a month.
We [G] head to Southwest on the 11th.
South by Southwest.
Not the airline.
We're still rooting for that sponsorship, but it hasn't happened yet.
We're going to South by Southwest, which is March [C] _ [G] _ 11th through [A] 7th, 20th?
[D] We are professionals.
We're leaving in mid [G]-March, and we're going to go do [C] what [N] we do.
Yes, ma'am, please.
They don't understand travel if you don't do that.
Oh, pretty good [C] airplane.
Thank you.
We're probably going to [G] be somewhere near you.
All of the information about this tour can be found [D] at nataliedawnmusic [C].com.
Lauren O'Connell [G] is also going [C] to be opening, and we're going [D] to be playing some [G] songs together,
a few My Terrible Friend songs.
That's our collaboration.
Maybe we'll release some new things.
Maybe.
Don't want to make too many promises.
[A] We're really [D] busy ladies.
This should be enough for you right [G] now.
Yeah.
Stop asking for more.
What do you [C] expect?
[G] Spoiled, spoiled children.
Hopefully we'll have some [D] stuff for you.
Hope you [G] don't know when.
We'll have a band, too.
If that's something people are interested in.
Yes, we will have a [Bm] full band.
It'll look [B] something like this.
I'm [E] begging [F#] you, please.
[B] Please don't leave. _ _ _ _
[N] Which was a great tour, by the way, the tour with Ben Fold 5.
I went to one show.
I liked it.
Thank you.
I thought it was pretty good.
Thanks, really?
I'm going to give you some notes about what you could do better.
Okay.
Maybe write up some notes for Ben Fold, too, if you want to pass them along.
Yeah, I'd love that.
I'm sure he'd be happy to hear them.
Generally, though, it was at least a seven.
Oh, [G] thanks.
Out _ _ of_
Just kidding.
It was great, obviously.
People like to ask which one is the terrible [Em] friend.
[D] Then [G] now you know. _
I [A] don't.
[D] Cool.
I hope I was in focus.
[G] It'll be [D#] really funny when we [Em] find out there's a little bit more than focus.
And [B] get to do it again.
[F#] I'm begging you, please.
[Em] Baby, [B] please don't scream.
