First Part : G D Em E Am D D Em Am C GGm7 G# I woke up this morning, August 3rd D# It's been a pretty slow and uneventful summer Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe Cm D# Went to New Orleans and went to see my family G# Woke up this morning and it occurred Cm I needed one more track to finish up my record D# I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired Cm Laid on my bed, too hung, a little down, a little tired D# Met my girl and we walked down Union Street I was scared and my head was in a bunch of places Gm7 Bought a $350 pair of lampshades G# And we ate at Perry's and I ordered crab cakes Gm7 Blue crab cakes G# Blue crab cakes Gm7 Blue crab cakes VERSE: Cm D# She said I seemed distracted and asked what was going on with me I said I can't explain it and it's a middle age thing A# She said okay and ate her eggs Benedict G# And I looked at the walls cluttered with sports bar shit Gm7 Sports bar shit G# Sports bar shit Gm7 A#m7 Sports bar shit Gm7 Ba ba ba G# Ba ba ba Gm7 Fm D# Fm D# Ba ba ba VERSE: Fm Got on the phone and I called my mother D# 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 Cm And my dad's still fighting with his girlfriend Gm About his flirting with the girls in Panera Bread D# My mom is good but sounded out of breath Gm Fm7 G# I worry so much about her, I worry to death Fm7 Gm7 I worry to death G# I worry about her to death Fm7 Gm7 I worry to death VERSE: Fm The other night I went and saw The Postal Service D# Ben's my friend but getting there was the worst Trying to park and getting up the hill Fm And find a spot amongst the drunk kids staring at their cells Standing at the back with the crowd of eight thousand D# I thought of Ben when I met him in 2000 At a festival in Spain Cm He was on the small stage then and I didn't know his name Now he's singing at the Greek and he's busting moves A# D# And my legs were hurting and my feet were too Bridge : C B Em G C G C Am D Chorus : G D Em C D G D Em Am D G
