INTRO:
DmDmCC
VERSE:
Dm
I woke up this morning, August 3rd
C
It's been a pretty slow and uneventful summer
Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe
Dm
Went to New Orleans and went to see my family
Woke up this morning and it occurred
C
I needed one more track to finish up my record
I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired
Am
Laid on my bed, too hung, a little down, a little tired
Met my girl and we walked down Union Street
C
I was scared and my head was in a bunch of places
Em
Bought a $350 pair of lampshades
GDmFF
And we ate at Perry's and I ordered crab cakes
FEm7Em
Blue crab cakes
DmF
Blue crab cakes
EmG

VERSE:
Am
She said I seemed distracted and asked what was going on with me
C
I said I can't explain it and it's a middle age thing
Em
She said okay and ate her eggs Benedict
GDFF
And I looked at the walls cluttered with sports bar shit
FEm7
Sports bar shit

VERSE:
Dm
Got on the phone and I called my mother
C
And called my father, talked a little bit with my sister
She's got a new boyfriend, he's a deer hunter
And she's getting used to venison
Am
And my dad's still fighting with his girlfriend
G
About his flirting with the girls in Panera Bread
C
My mom is good but sounded out of breath
EmDmF
I worry so much about her, I worry to death
Dm7Em7
I worry to death
Dm7
I worry about her to death
Dm7Em7Em
I worry to death
VERSE:
Dm
The other night I went and saw The Postal Service
C
Ben's my friend but getting there was the worst
Trying to park and getting up the hill
Dm
And find a spot amongst the drunk kids staring at their cells
Standing at the back with the crowd of eight thousand
C
I thought of Ben when I met him in 2000
At a festival in Spain
Am
He was on the small stage then and I didn't know his name
G
Now he's singing at the Greek and he's busting moves
CF
And my legs were hurting and my feet were too
CEm
I called him after, said I'll skip the backstage hi/bye
Dm7Dm
But thanks for the nice music and all the exercise
Dm7FmEm7
And we laughed and it was alright
Dm7
And we laughed and it was alright
Em7Em7
And it was alright
VERSE:
Dm
There's a fine line between a middle-aged guy with a backstage pass
C
And a guy with a gut hanging around like a jackass
Everybody there was twenty years younger than me
Dm
I'll leave with this, not my fondest memory
I carried my legs back down and then I gave
C
My backstage passes to two cute asian girls
I drove to my place near Tahoe
Dm
Got in my hot tub and I thought well that's how it goes
And it was quiet and I was listening to the crickets
And Ben's still out there, selling lots of tickets
C
And though I’m contented, there’s a tinge of competitiveness
But Ben's my friend and I know he gets it
Am
Then in a couple of days my meltdown passed
GC
Back to the studio doing twelve hours shifts
Singing a song about one thing or another
EmDm7FDm
Another day behind the microphone this summer
