Start Jamming...
Well, it seems like between one headlight, sixth avenue heartache, some flowers bloom
dead, and halo, which is an angel or, I mean, you know, you get in a car accident and then
you break your neck and you have to have that halo thing around your head.
And that's what it seems like.
I mean, forgetting the titles of the songs, I mean, just saying what they mean, it's like
you're not fully loaded, you know, you're not all there, your school went bad, you're
a failure because you're born dead, [D#] and you have a halo around your head because there
was one headlight and you got in [G#] an accident.
[B] Are you depressed?
[F] Well, I [N] mean, maybe on their own, those four songs out of context, it might seem like that.
Well, if you were to take St.
Prozac, would you be, you know, two [D]
headlights, sixth avenue
heartache, I [F] love New York, some flowers bloom dead would be, you know, gardenias are
[D#] wonderful, and halo would be, thank God I'm not dead, I'm not an angel.
[F] I'm just saying, would Prozac just completely [N] change your point of view to up?
Because this is all the songs of a man who's severely depressed.
Possibly schizophrenic.
Well, you are making me curious.
Your song, For the Life of Me, was apparently number one in 79 countries around the world.
No, I [D#] think it might
Oh, that was Who Let the Dogs Out.
Is your song better?
[F#] It's up there, I mean, if there was [N] a push behind it, it could have done as well, but
[G#m] Who Let the Dogs [E] Out is a pretty catchy song.
[G]
Before you start playing, I just wanted to say [B] it's really [Gm] nice to not have the other [Em] guys rap.
Isn't it great?
I [A] don't mean to be rude or anything.
No, not rude.
In a lot of ways, a couple of good guys, but really, this is going to [D] be a treat.

[D] [A] [E]
When [D] you look to [A] be pretty [E] nervous, with sweaty hands [A] and [E] bloodshot eyes.
[D] So hard [A] to [E] identify you, was [D] just a loser [C#m] in a loser's [E] disguise.
[C#m] If she don't [D] back down, she won't [E] come around here.
When [F#m] there's all [G#m] this talk [A] about dying, [D] well I don't get it [A] for the life [Bm] of me.

[C#m] If she don't [D] back down, she won't [E] come around [A] here.

[C#m] If she don't [D] back down, she won't come [E] around [A] here.
