You guys are gonna do maybe a [G] throwback song right now, is that right?
[G#] Yes, this child is over [E] 20 years old.
That's right.
Yes, [F#] we recorded this in New Orleans actually and I'll tell you a quick story.
When you say we, you mean Jeff Trott who you have with you today.
I was the passenger.
That's awesome.
Actually he was just starting with the wallflowers and I called him and they were just getting ready to leave and I was like, Jeff
That [Em] is the true story.
Wow.
Will you [F] come and write with me and work with me on my record and bada bing, bada boom.
Yeah, [C] it was a trip.
I was rehearsing with the wallflowers and all this stuff.
I mean Cheryl and I had been doing some writing before that.
[B] Then I didn't hear from her for, I don't know, a month or two.
And so I thought, oh, okay, I guess I [G] kind of blew that gig.
And then I [D] got asked to play with the [G] wallflowers and I rehearsed for about three weeks.
Even got the [F#] press photos and everything. You did?
Got all dolled up.
There's probably a picture of me with the wallflowers.
And then I get this phone call from Cheryl.
It's [N] like, well, hey, can you come out to New Orleans?
And it was something like, I can't remember exactly.
There would have been more chicks on the wallflowers gig, I'm sure.
My gig was like super somber compared to like, oh well.
Well, I mean, she put it this way to me.
She said, well, would you rather play somebody else's songs or our stuff?
And I thought, [C] you got me.
Because I'm a businesswoman.
You got me.
[N] That's right.
You had me at publishing.
[G] Yeah.

[E] If it makes you [Am] happy, [C] it can't be that [G] bad.

You get down, real low down.
[A] [G]
You listen to Coltrane, steering your own train.
Who hasn't been [C] there before?
[G] I come around, around the hard way.
Bring your comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread,
and serve you fresh toast [C] again.
Well, okay, I still [D] get stoned.
[C] I'm not the kind of girl you [D] take on.
If it makes [Am] you happy, [C] it can't [G] be that bad.
