A D
Try to be nice, try to be kind,
try pretending everything's alright
Give me a smile, try to be sweet
I'll help you get back on your feet
C Am
Take a walk, try to stop the day from
getting any worse
cause you're the only one for me
who makes the world seem more happy
F
Remember all those times you said
G C
that all you need in life is friends
F
and how we used to always dream
G C
that everything was just the way it seemed

Too Much

Dmaj 7 D (x3) G A
You taught me how to climb the wall
I didn't care for you at all
Dmaj 7 D (x3) G A
but I thought I might pretend
that maybe I could be your friend.
Dmaj 7 D (x3) G A
That pearly pendant round your neck
will keep your outbursts all in check
Em G D Em G Em G D
for someone else to love and behold
your silhouette so young, so bold
swinging to and from handholds
D Em F#m G D
It's no wonder, the spell that you're under
you're only, relatively, just a child.
D Em F#m G D
Tearing asunder, my heart, with your blunders
of speech and a manner too wild
Dmaj7 D G A Dmaj7 D G Dmaj7
Why I oughta
teach you a thing or two
about rhyme, though I'm ashamed to feel this way
all the pity welling up inside--
too much for the both of us.
Dmaj7 D G A Dmaj7 D G Dmaj7
If I could teach you a thing or two
to repay you for opportunity costs and when you
awoke the curiosity inside, though it was
too much for the both of us
too much for the both of us

Smile

kelly, turn off the telly
they don't like your spaghetti hair
but I swear I do
kelly, pretty machiavelli
but still, when you were there
I couldn't bear your charm
kelly, if you find me compelling
then I will try to find
some way we can relate
I don't wanna take up
more of your time than I have to
but I have to
if I'm gonna make you mine
you know a smile
can go a long way
try to smile
brighter than a flower on a sunny day
when you don't know what else to say
tickle me pink
I never think of you in that way ever
color me surprised
when you looked at me I felt a tremor
don't ask me why
I would do anything just to impress you
can't tell a lie
people like us need something to commit to
you know a smile
can go a long way
try to smile
brighter than a flower on a sunny day
your smile will save the world someday

(verse)
G Am D G
i'm so dear diary about things i should say

there's a lady that watches me

in the corner of my room i know she waits

and grab at my hair
Am7 Em Fmaj7 G
i won't let her help me
she's standing right there

i'm scared to be happy
but i'll let you know
Am7 Em Fmaj7 G

her soft pink kinda glow
(chorus??)
G Am D G x2
cause shes hidden in plain sight
and shes wrapped in flamingo lights
she has about fifty eyes
and loves the you kept in disguise

i'll learn all the things you care about;
and all the things before what you care about now

cause youre the things i care about;
and you're the things that i care about now

Wild Pink
02:35
|

|
why do we always drown ourselves
in those wild and restless waves?
words fall from our mouths
without the slightest trace of empathy
who is there to turn to when we've given up on all our friends?
what is there to do when we've given up on everything but ourselves?
what is there to do when we've given up on everyone else?
I love you to death--will you spend forever with me?

Good Girl

They took a perfectly good girl
and ruined her, you know exactly what I mean
She had a bow in her hair
and a look in her eye, saying
I'd like to see you try
He was hoping to find a job and a wife
that would stop him from making sense
He was hoping to find her at the time in his life
when almost everything was going right
Well, I guess she was kind of obsessed
with being better than all the rest
And he might take big steps to nowhere
and think it's the best
They took a perfectly good girl
and ruined her, you know exactly what I mean
She had a grasshopper voice, and she always said
that life is always better with friends
Well, I guess she was kind of obsessed
with being better than all the rest
And he might take big steps to nowhere
and think it's the best
but that all comes with the territory
she's not out begging for money from me
at least not yet

Noble Steed

Girl, if you never put on any airs
well let me know, and I will try to stop and stare
She knows just what I want, she knows just what I need
She's a pretty, little girl in a cold, hard world
and she's getting caught in the weeds
I'm gonna free her today
I'm gonna find myself on the way
I'm a pretty, little boy and I'm feeling kinda coy
cause she's standing right here next to me
Baby, please give me what I need
I'll be your noble steed
I'll do what I can to be a better man
if only you will do the same for me

Your New Haircut

Fmaj7 Cmaj7
There's a waxy film
something laced with eucalyptus
I threw my mind into the kiln
so I could burn all of my memories
Driving in my car
it feels like I'm the only one
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Amaj7
who's truly glad to be alive
with heaven on my side
D G C F Bb Bb7 Amaj7
Try not to stare
just smile and ask, "who cuts your hair?"
so I can get you out of your headphones and into my life
Who's keeping score?
because when it rains, it pours.
And of course you'll wait with your best friend and your new haircut.
Amaj7 E

Haven't you seen me lately?
I'm made of a summer afternoon
Blurry photographs and aging perfume

Haven't you seen me lately?
I'm always slightly out of tune
Overanalyzing letters while trying not to assume
(hold out the A, go to B)
the worst
E G# A E G# A
bang! bang!
in your quilted bomber jacket
bang! bang!
you're walking down the street
C# G#
and everyone you meet is gonna
A B
see you in their dreams
E G# A E G# A
bang! bang!
in your quilted bomber jacket
bang! bang!
there's a pocket on your sleeve
C# G#
where you always keep those cigarettes
A B
you say you never need
(intro) E G# A E G# A
E G# A E G# A ( hold out the E longer)
There's nothing I'd regret
If I could just start again
(hold out the A, go to B)
Trading pleasantries for something more profound
