Biography:
Texas native Bryce Avary, the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer mastermind behind The Rocket Summer, has accomplished enough for someone a lot older, as he prepares to record his fifth full-length studio album. “We’re not talking simple acoustic solo stuff here. The music Bryce Avary makes as The Rocket Summer is lush, explosively catchy and artful power pop that hints at a new Brian Wilson or Prince in the making. Keep an eye out on this one.” - AustinCityLimits.com

The Rocket Summer - Japanese Exchange Student
Tuning: Standard
C G
I might as well be a Japanese exchange student
Am F
Cause' people want to know me, right when I show up
C G
But then the thrill wears off, and then I'm alone
Am
until Beyonce rolls through town,
F
and they think that I can call and score a ticket
When I can't.
C G F Am
Cause' I don't know her, like you don't know me
G Am F
It's a lonely world when it's all that you see
C G F Am
It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me
This gets lonely.
C G
I might as well be a Japanese exchange student
Am F
Cause' people want know me, right when I show up
C G
But then the thrill wears off, and then I'm alone
Am
Until Paul McCartney rolls through town,
F
and they think that I can get in on the guest list,
When I can't.
C G F Am
Cause' I don't know him like you don't know me.
G Am F
It's a lonely thing when it's all that you see.
C G F Am
It doesn't matter if I got a good heart in me.
This gets lonely.
C G
Last year I got the cover,
Am F
my phone wouldn't stop ringing and ringing.
C G Am F
They called more than mother and that is saying something
C G F
Well lately it’s been quiet and my phone just picks up dust calls
D/F#
“It’s all about who you know”
F G
but you don’t really have to know anyone
C G
So be nice to the Japanese exchange students,
Am F
Cause' people want to know them, right when they show up,
C G
you may have found yourself in a similar place
Am F G
Where you found you looked around and just saw loads of empty space.
C G F
And you were thinking how you don't know them,
Am
like they don't know you.
G Am F
It's a lonely feeling after all that you do.
C G Am F
Got a good heart, got a good soul, what must I do to prove it anymore?
C G
I got friends in high and low places,
Am F
and it's all the same to me.
C G Am F
I love the Japanese, I love the Japanese,
C G Am-F
those from Japan and overseas.
C G Am F
I love the Japanese, do you love the Japanese?
C G Am F
Those from Japan and overseas,
C G Am G C
Those from Japan and overseas, like me.
Enjoy and Please Rate!
