My favorite Jay Jay song.
Capo 4, chords relative to capo
Chords used: C, Cmaj9/B, Am, F, G
Cmaj9/B [x20010]
for the sake of keeping the tab accurate as far as timing,
i'll show Cmaj9/B as C*
C C* Am F G
For every academic, there's a dozen coffee shops
C C* Am F G
& it's hard to sip on latte and conceal the bomb I've got
F G C C* Am
I think I fell in love with you, it wasn't hard to do
F G C C C* C
But if you don't love me back I'll fall straight through
Well I went for a kiss and I received a shoulder cold
Jack told me I'm copper, so I shouldn't mine for gold
But I am underground & for whatever reason be,
I'm not coming out 'til you're in love with me
CHORUS:
F C
If you follow your heart
F C
You're bound to get hurt
F G C C* Am
because love is blind, it is rarely kind
F G C C C* C
& when it is, it is usually short lived
Well I tried to restrain myself, I took a silly step
I had planned to take it slowly but in retrospect I leapt
Still, if you wanna walk with me, come on & hold my hand
& hold my hand until your pupils both expand
Now I've laid it on the table, hit the ball into your court
and I'd hate something so trivial to destroy our whole tour forte
So if you're feeling lonely, or would like some company
I will drop my plans and claim that I was free
Chorus
end on C
