E5             F#5                A5
  One of the last nights that we spent together 
E5           F#5      A5
  I went to see Pascal's band play
E5           F#5               A5
  The other guys had just flown in from Paris
           E5            F#5                A5
  They were all wearin' dresses, it was a fashion show thing
E5              F#5            A5       E5        F#5        A5
  Jackson was sitting on the catwalk, it was in between bands
E5               F#5              A5
  He called me over and said he had a question 
          E5       F#5      A5
  And that it meant no offense
E5           F#5      A5         E5             F#5      A5
  He leaned into my ear, I was still wearin' my earplugs
         E5            F#5         A5
  And he, he said it quiet so my enemies couldn't hear
              E5           F#5                A5
  "Does this move have anything to do with love?"
           E5                  F#5              A5                   B5
  Well, of course it does, of course it does, everything I do I do for love
       E5             F#5              A5              B5
  Yes, I'm a fool and that's a fact, let that be my epitaph 

                  E5  F#5  A5  E5  B5  A5 (stop)

E5      F#5             A5          E5            F#5               A5
  P.J. sent me a letter with some music and a bookmark that he made
           E5            F#5         A5               E5          F#5        A5
  It was a cartoon of me but I was way too cute but it was still really sweet
E5     F#5                A5                 E5                F#5            A5
  And then I flipped it over; there was a quote, you know, some philosophy
            E5          F#5            A5    
  It says a, a foolish man seeks happiness in the distance
        E5        F#5            A5
  And a wise man grows it underneath his feet
      E5                 F#5                   A5               B5
  Well thanks for the advice, my friend, but I'm not seeking happiness
E5             F#5               A5              B5
  The soil in Bloomington just swallows up my seeds
      E5                 F#5             A5               B5
  And nothing grows, no nothing grows, maybe it's just me
     E5               F#5              A5              B5
  No I'm not seeking happiness, I'll wait for it to come to me
     A5             B5               E5
  And I looked for you in the library on my birthday
A5               B5                E5
  Just like the day you hid from me, it was perfect
      A5                B5               E5               A5
  And that's the day I knew that I was so in love with you
                A5               B5                 E5
  That it would make my life or it would spell my doom
