Writing poems in a corner booth

Lying on her bed

Always turns me on
Sometimes she comes with coffee
Leaning over pouring
I'd like to gently pull her to me
Kiss her with no warning
Seeing her some sunny Sunday morning
[chorus]

She doesn't come around anymore
A G/D
And that bothers me

And that bothers me

Yeah, it bothers me

Though I don't stand a ghost of a chance with her
A G/D
She's pretty (and that bothers me)
A G/D
She's pretty (and that bothers me)

So pretty (and that bothers me)
A
And it bothers me
[chorus]
A D C D/G
No one can save us
A D C D/G
No one can save us
A D C D/G A
Nobody can save us

| who cares what it means? the important thing is that this song was NOT written by material issue! It was written by the GREEN PAJAMAS, Seattle's best and least known pop band. If you really want to hear a good cover of this song, pick up "Surrender You Freak" by SISTER PSYCHIC. They do a much better version, and they got the lyrics right too! It's not "From Kim The Waitress" it's "But Kim The Waitress". God, that always bugged me. | |
