Chords for The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen Jenny McCarthy

Incredibly amusing story of how our band came together begins at a chicken shack.
I asked a drummer friend of mine who was playing with Brian and Brad
if he had any work for me because he [Am] painted on the side.
[E] And next thing I know I was painting a Lee's Chicken [C] Shack in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Brian was there and the band began [B] over a star-glued three-piece [E] with mashed potatoes and a biscuit.
The Freshman [A#] was a [C] fairly depressing period [G] for me when I wrote that.
And I decided [A] to get it all out, try to get all the [G] depressing matter out in one song.
[A#] So I stuck every [A] depressing idea that you could think of into one song and [A#] it fit so nicely in four [G] minutes. _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ When [E] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ I was young I [A] knew everything
_ [C#m] Is she a punk who really [A] ever took advice?
Now [Em] I'm guilt-stricken sobbing with [A] my head on the floor
[C#m] Stomping baby's breath [A] and a chute full of rice, no
[C#] _ Can't _ [A] be held responsible
[C#m] _ _ _
[A] She was touching her [C#m] face
_ [B] _
[A] I won't be held responsible
[C#m] _ _ [B] _
[A] Fell in love in the first [E] place
For the [A] life of me I cannot [C#m] remember
What made us think that [A] we were wise and we'd never [E] come back
For the [A] life of me I cannot [C#m] believe we'd ever die
For these [A] sins we were merely [E] freshmen
_ [B] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] Fast winds took two weeks, vacations to forget [C#m] her
This girl took a [A] week's worth of album and slapped [E] him
Now he's guilt-stricken sobbing [A] with his head on the floor
[C#m] Thinks about her now and [A] how he never really wept
[C#m] _ _ [B] _
_ [A] Can't be held responsible
[C#m] _ _ [B] _
[A] She was touching her [C#m] face
_ [B] _
[A] I won't be held responsible
[E] _ _ [B]
She [A] fell in love in the first [E] place
For the [A] life of me I cannot [C#m] remember
What made us think that we [A] were wise and we'd never come [E] back
For the life [A] of me I cannot believe [C#m] we'd ever die
For these sins [A] we were merely freshmen
[E] _ _ _
_ _ _ He-ya he-ya he-ya he-ya he-ya
He _ -ya he _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ -ya he-ya he [A]-ya he-ya he-ya he [B]-ya he-ya _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ Tried to wash our [A] hands of all of this
We [C#m] never talked of our life [A] in relationships
And [Em] now her guilt-stricken sobbing [A] with her head on the floor
[C#m] We bowed through the ice when [A] we tried not to sin we'd [C#m] say
_ [E] _ _ [A] Can't be held responsible
[E] _ _ [B] _ [C#m] She was touching her [E] face
[Em] And I [Am] won't be held responsible
_ She fell in [E] love in the first place
For the life of me [A] I cannot [C#m] remember
What made us think that we [A] were wise and we'd never come [E] back
For the life of me [A] I cannot [C#m] believe we'd ever die
[E] For these sins we were merely freshmen
For the life of me I cannot [C#m] remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never [E] come back
For the life of [A] me I cannot believe we'd ever [E] die
For these sins [E] we were merely freshmen _
_ [B] _ We were merely freshmen
[C#m] _
_ _ [B] _ [A] In the world
_ [Em] _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ This is a pretty big honor.
[C] Yeah.
It's the third week in a row.
I can't even hold my grins.
[G] Right here.
Sit.
Sit.
You just lay down.
If you can't do this yourself, I have no idea what I do for this guy so I [N] can introduce
the number
