This is incredible for two reasons... It's incredibly good, and it's aslo
incredibly simple. (Chord-structure wise)

Anyways, play this nice and loud, and don't lose the funky feel it has.


Rachael says "OK." just before/as the intro starts...

Intro: (Those guitar notes, you know the ones I mean)
When I saw it played live at the Mercury Lounge, I noticed that it's actually
played in a higher position on the fretboard than this... Same notes, though,
and this is easier for begginers.

Bridge thingy #1:

A            E            A            D
La La La La  La La La La  La La La La  La La La La

A            E            A            
La La La La  La La La La  Laaaaaa...

Verse 1.

A   E         A     D         A      E          A           C#7         D   A
I   am what I am. I do what I can. I feel and I fall, and I laugh at it all
A   E            A              D        A        
I   dance with myself, and with everyone else. 
   D         A            C#7          D
My life is a stage, and I won’t act my age.


Bridge:

D   E            A              D           A
You can push me around, but I’m never gonna come down
E         D  C#7    D  C#m7
I’m gonna sta-ay so hi-igh


Chorus:

        A    
Cause I don’t know what to say 
      E
And I don’t know what to do
  D            E              D
I don’t really care where I’m going to 

         A         
I’ve got everything to learn
    E
And nothing to prove
    D         E             D
But somehow I know I’ll get through
       D        E         A
I just wanna be closer to you

Bridge thingy #1:

A            E            A            D

A            E            A            
La La La La  La La La La  Laaaaaa...


Verse 2:

Alone in a crowd, I’m laughing out loud.
I’m falling through space with a smile on my face.
I’m flying again, I’m crying again.
My heart is my head, and the start is the end.

Bridge:

  D     E             A                D             A       E
I don’t know what I believe, but all I have to do is breathe in
E     D  C#7      D  C#m7
And I get      so hi-igh...


Chorus:

        A    
Cause I don’t know what to say 
      E
And I don’t know what to do
  D            E              D
I don’t really care where I’m going to 

         A         
I’ve got everything to learn
    E
And nothing to prove
    D         E             D
But somehow I know I’ll get through
       D        E         A
I just wanna be closer to you

Another Bridgy-thing:.. (A middle 8 I think they're called)

A
I’m bent and I’m straight, and I come home too late.
A
Yeah, I’m doing well, occasional hell
A
Fall over me, fall over you, fall over...

Chorus:

        A    
Cause I don’t know what to say 
      E
And I don’t know what to do
  D            E              D

Wanna be closer to you
       D        E         A
I just wanna be closer to you.
