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]
Bm A Gmaj7
What am I so scared of?
Bm A
What's the worst that could happen?
Bm A Gmaj7
Been awake all night
Em A A6
Heard the rain tapping
[Verse 2]
Bm A Gmaj7
If something taps on the window
Bm A
In the middle of the night
Bm A Gmaj7
Just let it in, alright
Em A A6
Just let it in, alright
[Verse 3]
Bm A Gmaj7
I couldn't even write about it in my diary
Bm A
Or shape the sound of the words
Bm A Gmaj7
So I tried sneaking up behind it
Em A A6
Like the lion sneaks up on the herd
[Verse 4]
Bm A Gmaj7
If I just put this pen to this paper
Bm A
If I just change the labels on the salt and pepper shaker
Bm A Gmaj7
If I just trick myself
Em A A6
Into pouring it all out
[Verse 5]
Bm A Gmaj7
Just let it all out, alright
Bm A
Just let it all out
Bm A Gmaj7
Em A A6
[Verse 6]
Bm A Gmaj7
If you just say its name
Bm A
Three times in front of the mirror
Bm A Gmaj7
Its pale face will appear
Em A A6
Grinning in the corner
[Verse 7]
Bm A Gmaj7
And you turn around
Bm A
And you study its particulars
Bm A Gmaj7
You say: "Is that what I was scared of?"
Em A A6
Fucking ridiculous
[Verse 8]
Bm A Gmaj7
It's fucking ridiculous
