You Silly Git - Dan Mangan
Capo 2 - Standard Tuning
Intro (and pretty much the whole song):
| F | Am | F | C | F - G | Am - C | F | G |
F Am
She says the joys of life are lost among the living
F C
So I guess all those souvenirs are for her health
F G
She gives me quarters for the phone
Am C F
And every time I feel alone I go broke
G
Yeah I go broke
F Am
She says if you're not here at least make sure you miss me
F C
So when I miss her I make sure to let her know
F G
It's the least that I could do
Am C
And sure I guess I like it too
F G
I'm Mr. Charming without the charming
F Am
I can hear the eyebrows raise when I start singing
F C
'Cause the songs I sing are all about myself
F G
You can read me like a book
Am C
I'm not as clever as I look
F
I've got a sneaky kind of selfish
G
That I keep upon the shelf
F
With jars of double-sided comments
G
For people who've done nothing wrong
F
Preparing for the lights
G
And always practicing my sha-na-nas
F
I will stand right next to giants
G
And roar aside the lions
F
Wondering how is it so easy
G
For leaves amid the breeze to blow
F
From hometowns all around us
G
To hometowns where nobody lives
F
Just cities full of people
G
People making people
F
Making people for the masses
G
People we won't ever know
{Intro X1}
F Am
She says the point of this is not to date the future
F C
So just focus on the task at hand
F G
Try to break up with your pride
Am C
And start to flirt with satisfied
