Start Jamming...
I don't really [F] enjoy writing songs by myself.
[A#] I don't, if they come to me, that's fine.
But [G#] what I really enjoy is writing with somebody else
and throwing ideas around and going,
now that's rubbish, that [C#] doesn't fit in there.
And [F] trying to figure out [E] what does work and [C#] what doesn't.
Every song is important.
Who it's for, whether [F] it's in the Stones or the [F#] Wynos,
or [Cm] when I write with Tom [E] Waits.
You only write them because [F] you want to,
and because they're there, really.
That's the thing with, [G#] if you're an antenna,
and ten million songs come in at once,
you'd better be ready for them.
Get an overload thing going.
[F]
Probably only [B] written maybe two songs, really, in [E] my life,
[G] and [F#] everything else is variation.

I'll make it.
[B]
It doesn't matter, honey.
I'll take it.
Well, I can't shake it off of my back, [Bm] damn broke it.
[E] [B] [Bm] Well, it's either [E] too tight or [B] it's too slack.
[A]
[B] Night, [Bm] night.
[B]
Night, night.
[A] Baby, it's just a little [B] bit.
Night, night.
[G#m] Yes, it doesn't [F#] matter how much we [B] hit it.
Night, night.
Well, my face explodes and my tongue blew up.
I need something in my Dixie cup.
Come on, baby, let me get it right.
The best pair of lips I've kissed [F#]
all night.
[B] Night, night.
[Bm] Later, later.
[B] Night, night.
[A] I'm a pocket calculator.
[Bm] [B] Night, night.
[E]
There goes [B] the time.
Night, night.
[Bm] Well, if you [B] haven't been embraced,
you [B] won't get it till it's in your face.
[Bm] Yeah, that won't [B] get me out of too hurry.
[A] Don't panic.
[F#m] [B] And yes, night, night.
[D]
[B] Well, I'm here nighty night.
[A] Remember, I [B] didn't mean it.
Nighty, nighty night.
[F#]
Oh, [B] yes, nighty night.
[A] [B] Can't shake it off of my back.
Never felt like
I was too tired for this dream to fly.
[Bm]
[B] Yes, [Bm] one [B] thing never changed.
The bicycle just remains free.
Oh, baby, here we go.
Have [Bm] all the piss, [F#] have all the rest.
[B] Night, [Bm] night.
[B] I'll be your leader.
[E]
[F#m] [B]
Nighty, night.
[A]
Night, night.
Hey, I mean it.
Night, night.
[Bm]
Well, they [E] all parade.
[Bm] You look at the state of me, babe.
[B]
I cost twenty [E] grand on it.
[B]
Beautiful.
So [A] [B] [B] straight,
[E]
[B] nighty night.
Nighty night.
[A]
[Bm] [B]
It's just a little bit cold, baby.
Super comfortable.
