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.

This is my first tab, it's pretty close but i'm posting it mostly so i can figure
out the parts that are iffy.
CAPO ON 3 - Chords relative to capo.
Intro - G A D G
G A
You where in my dream last night
D G
Like every night since two years ago
G A
I think my dream is trying to tell my something
D G
And I say “tell me something I don't already know”
G G/B D G
Just buy me a drink, so I can refuse
G A D
To raise my glass to these sad and worn out midnight shoes
G A D
In my next dream I want a pair of cowboy boots
G A D
The kind that walks the straightest and most narrow route
G/B
Anywhere but back to you
[[[[Same song structure throughout.... The rest of the lyrics below.]]]]]
Here we are down the same old street
Here we are with nothing to say
My little hand trying to make it into yours
But you put it in your pocket and looks away
I keep my eyes on the sidewalk
For something flippable like a dime
I wanna know how you forgive someone
Someone you've forgiven so many times
Just buy me a drink, so I can refuse
To raise my glass to these sad and worn out midnight shoes
In my next dream I want a pair of cowboy boots
The kind that walks the straights and most narrow route
Anywhere but back to you
Anywhere but back to you
out the parts that are iffy.
