Brendan Benson - Jetlag

Album: Lapalco


F#           Bbm
My so called friends
F#           Bbm
where are they now?
G/Bbm               F#                        C#    F
I guess a love that bends isn't worth much anyhow.    
      

F#            Bbm  F#           Bbm
They come and go. They talk their shit.
G/Bbm                    Eb                  C#      F
But when I really need to know - all I get is spit in my eye


F#         Bbm              F#           G/Bbm  
The less I know the better, the faster I go - Jet setter!
F#7                 Ebm7                          C#     F7
I chase around the world but I never get the girl


Bbm                F#         Bbm           F#
But I don't let it bother me. I cut out any part of me
            C#          Ebm         F#         Ab
That's been bruised and refused and misused or confused


F#                Bbm  F#           Bbm
Some people wanna know all about my history
G/Bbm               F#                         C#     F
But no-one seems to care that none of it's note-worthy


F#               Bbm         F#                          Bbm
But I  talked so much, as it were, that I made the local news
Ebm                         F#                       Bbm    Ab
"The boy has got the magic touch, and he can't ever lose!"


F#         Bbm      F#                  G/Bbm
My present situation is no longer inspiration
F#         Eb       Ab                  C#
My precious generation is killing their time
Ebm          F#                               Ab
behind their backs - I'm slipping through the cracks!


Bbm                   F#        Bbm                F#
And it doesn't really matter if you won't have any part of this,
C#               F#7              C#        F#7
my scheme I've devised, where my team is diguised,
       Ebm                Ab             F#
and we seem like ordinary guys - but surprise!


           Bbm       F#                      Bbm
I'm hardly phased anymore, by your classless ways
         Ebm7                 Ab            F#
It takes more than that to amaze me these days


       Bbm        F#                      Bbm                     
I'm so messed up. Never know what time it is.
G/Bbm                  F#           Bbm     Ab
Jetlag's the price you pay to play showbiz, kid


F#              Bbm  F#          G/Bbm
And I stayed up late the night before
F#                           Ebm              C#           
I slept the whole way on the plane and now my neck is sore


F#7     C#     F#7     C#


Outro - F#, Bbm, C#, Ab repeated
