You Are What You Love (Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins)

[Bm] [Em] [A] [D] x2

[Bm]This is no great ilEm]lusion
When [A]I'm with you I'm looking for a [D]ghost
Or [Bm]invisible [Em]reasons
To fall [A]out of love and run screaming from our [D]home

[D]Because we live in a house of mirrors
We [G]see our fears and everything
Our [Em]songs, faces, and [A]second hand clothes

But [D]more and more we're suffering
Not [G]nobody, not a thousand beers
Will [Em]keep us from feeling [A]so all alone

But you [Em]are what you [A]love
And [D]not what loves you [G]back
That's why I'm [Em]here on your doorstep
[A]Pleading for you to take me [D]back [G] [D]

The [Bm]phone is a fine in[Em]vention
It al[A]lows me to talk endlessly to [D]you
About [Bm]nothing disguising my [Em]intentions
Which I'm [A]afraid, my friend, are wildly un[D]true

It's a [D]sleight of hand, a white soul band
The [G]heart attacks I'm convinced I have
Every [Em]morning upon [A]waking
To you I'm a [D]symbol or a monument
Your [G]rite of passage to fulfillment
But [Em]I'm not yours for the [A]taking

But you [Em]are what you [A]love
And [D]not what loves you [G]back
So I [Em]guess that's why you [A]keep calling me [D]back [G] [D]

[Em] [A] [D] [G] [D]

[D]I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
A [G]coward who paints a bullshit canvas
[Em]Things that will never [A]happen to me
But [D]at arms length, it's Tim who said
I'm [G]good at it, I've mastered it
A[Em]voiding, avoiding [A]everything

But you [Em]are what you [A]love Tim
And [D]not what loves you [G]back

And I'm in [Em]love with illusions
So [A]saw me in half
I'm in [Em]love with tricks
So [A]pull another rabbit out of your [D]hat [G] [D]

A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash)

Written by Shel Silverstein

Chords Used: A-D-E



Capo 2

[A]My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't [D]leave much to ma and me
Just [E]this old guitar and an empty bottle of [A]booze.
[A]Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the [D]meanest thing that he ever did
Was [E]before he left, he went and named me [A]"Sue."

[A]Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My [D]fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd [E]roam from town to town to hide my [A]shame.
[A]But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd [D]search the honky-tonks and bars
And [E]kill that man who gave me that awful [A]name.

[A]Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I [D]just hit town and my throat was dry,
I [E]thought I'd stop and have myself a [A]brew.
[A]At an old saloon on a street of mud,
[D]There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the [E[dirty, mangy dog that named me [A]"Sue."

[A]Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a [D]worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I[E] knew that scar on his cheek and his evil [A]eye.
[A]He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I [D]looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I [E]said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now you gonna [A]die!!"

[A]Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he [D]went down, but to my surprise,
He [E]come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my [A]ear.
[A]But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we [D]crashed through the wall and into the street
[E]Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the [A]beer.

[A]I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I [D]really can't remember when,
He [E]kicked like a mule and he bit like a [A]crocodile.
[A]I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He [D]went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He [E]stood there lookin' at me and I saw him [A]smile.

[A]And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be [D]tough
And I knew I wouldn't be [E]there to help ya [A]along.
[A]So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I [D]knew you'd have to get tough or die
And [E]it's the name that helped to make you [A]strong."

[A]He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I [D]know you hate me, and you got the right
To [E]kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you [A]do.
[A]But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the [D]gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause [E]I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you [A]"Sue.'"

[A]I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I [D]called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I [E]came away with a different point of [A]view.
[A]And I think about him, now and then,
Every [D]time I try and every time I win,

And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him…
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! [A]I still hate that name!

Live solo version by Glen Hansard:



Did you [Bm]fall on your [D]way
It's a [G]long way [F#m]down
Welcome [Bm]back to your [D]place

Where are you [G]running [F#m]now.
Is it [Bm]lack of re[D]straint
Has you [G]turning [F#m]round.

And I [Em]know, were both the [A]same
You played your [Em]part, so your part to [A]blame

When you [Bm]want something so much,
It's drawing [G]trouble on your [F#m]life
And when you [Bm]lost something so good
It's hard to [G]focus on what's [F#m]right

Instrumental:
[Bm] [D] [G] [F#m]

And in the [Em]end what hurt the [A]worst
Has been re[Em]solved and then re[A]versed
And I [D]know its not what you [A]said
It's like the [Em]letter I just sat and [A]read

Final[G]ly… Finally… Final[F#m]ly… [line 4x]

When you [Bm]found something so good,
It's drawing [G]trouble on your [F#m]life
And when you [Bm]lost something so good
It's hard to [G]focus on what's [F#m]right

I [G]love it so far… I love it so far… I [F#m]love it so far…
I [G]love it so far… I love it so far… I [F#m]love it so far… [G]
