Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

  I need someone, a person to talk to

Someone who'd care to love

  Could it be you

  Could it be you

Verse 2

[Play like verse 1]

Situation gets rough, then I start to panic

It's not enough, it's just a habit

Hey kid you're sick

Darling this is it

Chorus

  You can all just kiss off into the air

  Behind my back I can see them stare

  They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind

  They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)

  Yeah they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)

  They do it all the time (do it all the time)

  They do it all the time (do it all the time)

  They do it all the time, do it all the tiiiiiiiime

Verse 3

  I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record

  Oh yeah, well don't get so distressed

  Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed

GUITAR/BASS SOLO:

No way in hell am I going to transcribe this. I don't transcribe

solos as a general rule, and besides, the solos from Violent Femmes

are usually impossible to transcribe because they're just something

completely random. So play whatever you want.

Bridge

Em [the whole bridge is just Em, no other chords]

I take one, one, one 'cause you left me

And two, two, two for my family

And three, three, three for my heartache

And four, four, four for my headaches

And five, five, five for my lonely

And six, six, six for my sorrow

And seven, seven for n'n'no tomorrow

And eight, eight, I forget what 8 was for

but nine, nine, nine for a lost god

Ten, ten, ten, ten, for everything everything everything everything

Chorus

[play like first chorus, end on Em]

You can all just kiss off into the air

Behind my back I can see them stare

They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind

They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)

Yeah they do it all the time (Yeah yeah)

Yeah they do it all the time (do it all the time)

Do it all the time (do it all the time)

Do it all the time time time time time time time

t't't't't't't't'time time time time

Do it all the tiiiiime
