Box Set - Barenaked Ladies

I've taken one or two liberties with this song to make it playable without having 
to use too many barre chords. If you play along with it using the capo, you 
probably won't even notice the changes. If you can do an alternating bass picking 
pattern between strums, you can mimic the bass line somewhat too. Enjoy

Capo 3

Intro: Am7 - Dm7 - E7 - Am7 - E7 - Am7

Am7 (x02010@1)                          Dm7         E7 (020130@1)         Am7I (x02010@1)never thought that you would love me the way that you do.
Am7 (x02010@1)                          Dm7             E7 (020130@1)      Am7I (x02010@1)never thought that you would love me half as much as I do.
Am7 (x02010@1)                             Dm7                      E7 (020130@1)      
You say you wanna know everything about me - well here you go,
Am7 (x02010@1)                               Dm7                 E7 (020130@1)      
You say you couldn't live your life without me, I don't know.
Am7 (x02010@1)                           Dm7                 
But if you want it girl, you've got it;
               E7 (020130@1)            Am7- (x02010@1)E7- (020130@1)Am7It's (x02010@1)all right here, in my box set.

Am7 (x02010@1)                           Dm7           E7 (020130@1)          Am7I (x02010@1)never thought that words like product could ever leave my lips,
Am7 (x02010@1)                        Dm7            E7 (020130@1)            Am7But (x02010@1)something happened to me somewhere that made me lose my grip.
Am7 (x02010@1)                      Dm7                 E7 (020130@1)      
Maybe it's a lack of inspiration that makes me stoop,
Am7 (x02010@1)                         Dm7               E7 (020130@1)      
Or maybe it's a lack of remuneration; I can't recoup.
Am7 (x02010@1)                         Dm7                 
But if you want it folks, you got it;
               E7 (020130@1)            Am7- (x02010@1)E7- (020130@1)Am7It's (x02010@1)all right here, in my box set.

Am7 (x02010@1)                                   Bm7b5           E7Disc (020130@1)One - It's where we've begun, it's all of greatest hits,
    Dm7                       E7 (020130@1)                     Am7and (x02010@1)if you are a fan then you know that you've already got 'em.
Am7 (x02010@1)                               Bm7b5            E7Disc (020130@1)Two - It was all brand new, an album's worth of songs,
    Dm7                            E7 (020130@1)                          Am7but (x02010@1)we had to leave the whole disc blank 'cause some other label bought 'em.
F (133211@1)                         E7Disc (020130@1)Three - This is really me in a grade school play;
  Dm7                          E7 (020130@1)                     Am7I (x02010@1)had about a hundred thousand lines but of course I forgot 'em.

Interlude:      (Am7 - Dm7 - E7) x 2

Am7*    Abdim7*            Gm7*      Am7*
I never thought there'd be days like this, 
          Dm7                  E7There (020130@1)was always someone at my door.
Am7 (x02010@1)   Abdim7          Gm7  Am7I (x02010@1)never thought I would ever miss,
        Dm7                           E7And (020130@1)the crowd would always holler for more.
Dm7                       E7 (020130@1)           Am7 (x02010@1)          Bm7b5
But now it seems all that people want is what I used to be,
Dm7                     E7 (020130@1)                       Am7 (x02010@1)      Bm7b5 - E7and (020130@1)every time I try to do something new, all they want is 1973.
