VERSE
G Gsus G Gsus4
I belong, along way from here
G Gsus4
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitoes,
G C
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
We went searching through thrift store jungles
G Gsus4
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
G C
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
C D
Well, o.k. I made this up
C D
I promised you I'd never give up
CHORUS
N.C. Am7
If it makes you happy
C G D
It can't be that bad
Am7
If it makes you happy
C
Then why the hell are you
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
so sad
VERSE
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed,
Scrape the mold off your bread,
And serve your french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
Chorus X 2
(2nd ending with:)
C Em
then why the hell are you so sad
Solo:
VERSE
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?
