• Song:

    Michael Praytor Five Years Later

  • Artist:

    Ben Folds Five

This is a relatively simple song- some of the chords may not be lined up perfectly 
with the lyrics so i apologize

intro:

G                                B
ooooooooh aaaaaaooooh aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaa

CM7                           CM7/Eb
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaohhhhwooooooooooooOOOoooo

Verse 1:

CM7                      Dsus4     D (add 4)
It was the opposite of fire and rain, you know the song

CM7                         Dsus4   D(add 4)
I never thought i'd see this guy again, but i was wrong

CM7                          Dsus4       D(add 4)
Oh! every five years since nineteen seventy-two

            CM7                         Dsus4        D(add 4)
When at recess he recruited me to try to kick the church down to the ground

Chorus:

G       B      
Michael Praytor- so random

CM7                   
who knows why some satellites

        Eb                          G
come by and by while others disappear 

         B
into the sky


Interlude:

the interlude is played over C while playing these notes: b-e-a-d-g-c-f#-a-e-g-d-c-b-a-g-f#-e
with a quick return to CM7 for verse 2. this is easy to comprehend if you listen to the song.

Verse 2: same as the first


Good morning mirror break the change to me

i try to stay too close to see

that there's a pattern in the tiles and a fool who marks the miles

it was long hair- and this time it was no hair

seeming thin, divorced, inspired

engaged in chemo- born again and fired


Chorus two: same as the first one, but leads into the bridge-

Bridge: F-C-Eb-Bb-G

Verse 3: same as the other verses

At hanes mall parking lot at 5 am I saw him sleeping in his car

I'd been up all night from new york bummin' out on '95

and we're thirty and we all live with our parents

"and my wife," he said, "she kicked me out"

I said same here, guess i'll see you around

Final chorus: same as the last ones

Michael Praytor
Michael praytoooor
MiCHael- Praytorrr
michael praytorr
so random
who knows why some satellites come by and then they, disappear?
