Brendan Benson - Jetlag
Album: Lapalco
F#My so called A#mfriends
F#where are theA#my now?
G/               A#m                          F#      C#  F  
I guess a love that bends isn't worth much anyhow.    
F#They come and A#mgo. TF#hey talk theiA#mr shit.
G/                    A#m                    Eb        C#  F  
But when I really need to know - all I get is spit in my eye
         F#                A#m             F#  G/  A#m  
The less I know the better, the faster I go - Jet setter!
F#7I chase around the wEbm7orld but I never get the girlC#  F7  
A#mBut I don't let it F#bother me. A#mI cut out any F#part of me
That's been C#bruised and Ebmrefused and F#misused or G#confused
F#Some people wanna A#mknow F#all about my A#mhistory
G/               A#m                           F#       C#  F  
But no-one seems to care that none of it's note-worthy
F#But I  talked so A#mmuch, as it F#were, that I made the local A#mnews
Ebm"The boy has got the magic tF#ouch, and he can't ever lA#mose!"G#  
         F#        A#m                    F#  G/A#m  
My present situation is no longer inspiration
F#My precious EbgeneratiG#on is killing their C#time
Ebmbehind their F#backs - I'm slipping through the G#cracks!
A#mAnd it doesn't really F#matter if A#myou won't have any F#part of this,
C#my scheme I've deF#7vised, where my tC#eam is digF#7uised,
and we Ebmseem like ordinary G#guys - but surpF#rise!
I'm hardly A#mphased anyF#more, by your classless A#mways
It takes Ebm7more than that to amaG#ze me these daF#ys
I'm so A#mmessed up. F#Never know what time it A#mis.
G/                  A#m             F#       A#m  G#  
Jetlag's the price you pay to play showbiz, kid
              F#    A#m            F#  G/A#m  
And I stayed up late the night before
F#I slept the whole way on the Ebmplane and now my C#neck is sore
F#7     C#     F#7     C#
Outro - F#, A#m, C#,  G#repeated

I chase around the world but I never get the girl

A#m F# A#m F#

But I don't let it bother me. I cut out any part of me

C# Ebm F# G#

That's been bruised and refused and misused or confused

F# A#m F# A#m

Some people wanna know all about my history

G A#m F# C# F

But no-one seems to care that none of it's note-worthy

F# A#m F# A#m

But I talked so much, as it were, that I made the local news
