Just Like Anyone

Soul Asylum "Just Like Anyone"
From "Let Your Dim Light Shine"
Transcribed by Bryan Pero (perob@willow.uml.edu)

Okay, this is a pretty easy song.  There are two guitars playing at most
times.  Gtr. 1 (Dave Pirener) plays first position chords, while Gtr. 2
(Dan Murphy) plays barre chords. On the verses hit a D chord once then
palm mute it and strum.  Then when you play G, upstroke it once.

[Verse I]
D                                                             G
She walks into the outhouse, the cold night breathes into her face
D                                                                G
The flies are standing still now, the moon it spills through the place

[Chorus I]
               C                   G          D
And she starts wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone, and
    C         G      D                     C             G
And like everyone be just like anyone, who just wants to be so
D                 D
Just like anyone, just like anyone

[Verse II]
D                                                                 G
She reaches through the darkness, her fingers touch the porcelain seat
D                                                                 G
She spins and pulls her pants down, the cold air holds her like a thief

[Chorus II]
               C                   G             D
And she starts wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean
    C                  G              D
And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen
C          G        D                 D
Try not to seem so, Just like anyone, Just like anyone

D (w/Bridge Riff)                                          G
The door comes screeching open, she walks into the evening air
D
She disappears in the darkness all that's left is the faint smell

       G
of her hair, she's done

[Chorus III] (w/Outro Riff)
C                   G          D                     C         G
Wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone and like everyone
   D                    C             G     D
be just like anyone and just wants to be so just like anyone
    C                   G             D
And wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean,
    C                  G              D
And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen
C          G       D                 C         G   D
Try not to seem so just like anyone (just like anyone)
                  C         G  D     D
Just like anyone (just like anyone)  Just like anyone
D                 D
Just like anyone, Just like anyone
