Biography:
Jens Martin Lekman (born February 6, 1981 in Angered, Sweden) is a Swedish musician. He has released four albums and several EPs since 2003. His music can be described as guitar-based pop with heavy use of samples and strings, with lyrics that are often witty, romantic, and lachrymose. His work is often compared to that of Stephin Merritt of the The Magnetic Fields, Jonathan Richman and Morrissey.
Lekman recorded and released much of his material privately from 2000 to 2003 on CD-R.

[Verse 1]
Fm Bb Eb
It's the morning after
Fm Bb Eb
And we're on a train zigzagging 'cross the countryside
Fm Bb Eb
On our way home from a party
Fm Bb
That turned insane
Fm Bb Eb
He dozes off on my shoulder
Fm Bb Eb
Wakes up suddenly, apologizes
Eb
Looks the other way
[Chorus]
Fm Bb
So tell me how
Eb
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
Fm Bb
So tell me how
[Verse 2]
Fm Bb Eb
The neighbor came a-knocking
Eb
Said she'd call the cops
Fm Bb
He said, "I'll turn down the stereo"
Eb
Pretended to adjust the volume knob
Fm Bb
He's my best friend
Eb
And we can talk about anything
Fm Bb
As long it's about nothing
Eb
As long as it don't cut deeper than the skin
[Chorus]
Fm Bb
Tell me how
Eb
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
Fm Bb
So tell me how
Eb
Tell me how I can tell him I love him, so
Fm Bb
Tell me how
[Bridge]
Fm
I mean I guess he knows
Bb Eb Fm Bb Eb
Just like I know when he says something funny and I laugh from my belly
Fm Bb
Or when Sandra left him and I held him when he cried
Eb Fm Bb Eb
For a moment he left his guard down and so did I
[Verse 3]
Fm Bb Eb
But it's so deep within me, the way a man should be
Fm Bb Eb
Passed on through generations of men before me
Fm Bb Eb
A line drawn in the sand to keep us apart
Fm Bb Eb
A rusty, old padlock hanging on our hearts
Fm Bb
So tell me how
[Outro]
Fm Bb Eb
We part ways at the station
Fm Bb Eb
He's got his bike and he rides into the gap
'Tween day and night
Fm Bb Eb
Before he's gone
he shouts, "Later, dude"
Fm Bb
I think, "Yeah
Eb
I love you too"
