Intro

E...F#m...E...Abm...A9...B...E5

Verse

E5
I'm not too good with numbers
         F#5                                       E5         Ab5 
I just count on knowing when I am high enough

A5
A mule with only two legs counting steps
B5                                     E5       Ab5
towards dangling carrots; don't add up


Chorus

A5
I think about you when I can
B5                                  C#5  C#5
And even sometimes when I can't, I do

A5
Once the driver knows you got good 
B5                                   E5
sense, he takes away the carrots, too


Interlude

E...F#m...E...Abm...A9...B...E5


 
Verse

E5
Getting all excited
           F#5                          E5          Ab5
Finding nothing that was never there before

A5
Is like bringing flowers to your mama
B5                                     E5         Ab5
And tracking dog shit all over the floor

Chorus 

A5
Jesus made the flowers, but it took the
B5                        C#5  C#5
dog to make the story good

A5
I think about you when I can
B5                                          E5
And sometimes when I don't, I probably should


Interlude

F#m...Abm...C#m...C#5 (2x)


Verse

E5
Tending bar in L.A. 
             F#5                           E5    Ab5
After dark, must be like mining cartoon gold

A5
Rocks that won?t cooperate and 
B5                                       E5    Ab5
tools will drive you crazy, must get old

Chorus

A5
I think about you when I can
B5                                        C#5  C#5
And sometimes when I do, I still get caught 

A5
Sitting in a bar in LA 
B5                             A5 
After dark with my sunglasses on
