Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1
I need someone, a person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
Could it be you
Could it be you
Verse 2
[Play like verse 1]
Situation gets rough, then I start to panic
It's not enough, it's just a habit
Hey kid you're sick
Darling this is it
Chorus
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)
Yeah they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)
They do it all the time (do it all the time)
They do it all the time (do it all the time)
They do it all the time, do it all the tiiiiiiiime
Verse 3
I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record
Oh yeah, well don't get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed
GUITAR/BASS SOLO:
No way in hell am I going to transcribe this. I don't transcribe
solos as a general rule, and besides, the solos from Violent Femmes
are usually impossible to transcribe because they're just something
completely random. So play whatever you want.
Bridge
Em [the whole bridge is just Em, no other chords]
I take one, one, one 'cause you left me
And two, two, two for my family
And three, three, three for my heartache
And four, four, four for my headaches
And five, five, five for my lonely
And six, six, six for my sorrow
And seven, seven for n'n'no tomorrow
And eight, eight, I forget what 8 was for
but nine, nine, nine for a lost god
Ten, ten, ten, ten, for everything everything everything everything
Chorus
[play like first chorus, end on Em]
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)
Yeah they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)
Yeah they do it all the time (do it all the time)
Do it all the time (do it all the time)
Do it all the time time time time time time time
t't't't't't't't'time time time time
Do it all the tiiiiime
