You Silly Git  -  Dan Mangan
Capo 2 - Standard Tuning
Intro (and pretty much the whole song):
|  F|  Am|  F|  C|  F-  G|  Am-  C|  F|  G|
She says the Fjoys of life are lost among the Amliving
So I guess Fall those souvenirs are for her Chealth
She gives me Fquarters for the Gphone
And every Amtime I feel Calone I go Fbroke
Yeah I go Gbroke
She says if yFou're not here at least make sure you mAmiss me
So when I mFiss her I make sure to let her Cknow
It's the Fleast that I could Gdo
And sure I Amguess I like it tCoo
I'm Mr. CharFming without the cGharming
I can hFear the eyebrows raise when I start Amsinging
'Cause the sFongs I sing are all about mCyself
You can Fread me like a Gbook
I'm not as Amclever as I lCook
I've got a sFneaky kind of selfish
That I kGeep upon the shelf
With jars of Fdouble-sided comments
For peopGle who've done nothing wrong
PrepaFring for the lights
And always prGacticing my sha-na-nas
I will sFtand right next to giants
And roGar aside the lions
Wondering hFow is it so easy
For Gleaves amid the breeze to blow
From hoFmetowns all around us
To homeGtowns where nobody lives
Just cFities full of people
GPeople making people 
Making Fpeople for the masses
PGeople we won't ever know
{Intro X1}
She says the Fpoint of this is not to date the fAmuture
So just Ffocus on the task at Chand
Try to Fbreak up with your Gpride
And start to Amflirt with satisfCied 
|  F|  G|  F|
