1. Flowers in Your Hair
GWhen we were younger
We thought everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little
And romanticized theC time I saw
Flowers in your hair G
Takes a Dboy to live
Takes Ca man to pretend he was thereG
GSo then we grew a little
Knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the tChings we said
We were self assured G
It's a lDong road to wisdom
It's a Cshort one to being ignored G
Be in my Emeye D
Be in my hearGt
Be in my Emeye, eyeyeye D
Be in my hearGt
GSo now I think that I could love you back
And I hope its not too late
'Cause you're so attractive
And theC way you move
I won't close my eyesG
Takes a mDan to live
Takes a Cwoman to make him compromise G
Be in my Emeye D
Be in my hearGt
Be in my Emeye, eyeyeye D
Be in my hearGt

2. Classy Girls
Capo 5
WelGl, she was standing in the bar
I saiCd, "Hello, how do you do'"
She Dhanded me a Cbeer with a kangaroGo
SGhe spoke of places I had never
That Cshe had travelled to
And Dwe slowed danced Calong to faster tGunes
I Gmade her laugh, I made a pass, I showed her my half dollar rCing
She said, "That's pretty cool,
But cDlassy girls don't Ckiss in bars, you fGool"
SGo later on the crowd calmed down
And CI believe it was as if
SoDmething drew me clCoser to her lGips
GSo picture my surprise when
I had trCied to lean in for a kiss
And Dshe just smiled and tCurned her head doGwn
IG asked her, "Why'" and she replied,
"It was nothing I was doiCng wrong, its just what it is"
No, clDassy girls don't kCiss in bars like tGhis
No, Cclassy girls don't Dkiss in bars
CBoys will break their Dbacks and hearts
But Cits alright, the Ghardest part is Dthrough
DOh through
DOh DOh
Hardest Part G

4. Dead Sea
CI stood alone, upon the platform in vainE
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsFa in the rain
With open doors and manual locksC
In fastF food GparkiFng lotCs
CI headed West, I was a man on the movEe
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need Fsomebody, needed someone I could trusCt
I don't gFamble, but if I dGid I would bFet on uCs
CLike the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the DeFad Sea
You'll never sink when you are wAmith me
Oh LorGd, like the FDead SeCa
CWhoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever saiFd to me
Honey can't you seAme,
I was born toG be, be your DFead SCea
CYou told me you were good at running away E
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitFcase
You left with just the clothes on your baCck
You toFok the Grest when you Ftook the Cmap
CYes, there are times we live for somebody elseE
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourFself you felt, you just felt it was tCime
And I'm Fglad, cause you with Gcats, thatF's just not rCight
CLike the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the DeFad Sea
You'll never sink when you are wAmith me
Oh LorGd, like the FDead SeCa
CWhoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever saiFd to me
Honey can't you seAme,
I was born toG be, be your DFead SCea
I been down, I been defeated
Am G FYou're the message I was heeding
F E DWould you stay,
Would you stay the Gnight'
CLike the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the DeFad Sea
You'll never sink when you are wAmith me
Oh LorGd, I'm your FDead SeCa
CWhoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever saiFd to me

11. Morning Song
CThe carbonation in my drink
GThe bubbles rise while my heart sinks
FAnd I'll I tend to do is think of you C G
CWas it easier to pack your bags
GAnd book that flight to Paris as
FThe plane began to move that afternoon C G
CWhen all the trains have pulled away
GFrom local stations in decay
FIt's I who waits, it's you who's late agaiCn G
CAnd did you think of me when you made love
GTo him, was it the same as us
FOr was it different, it must have been C G
CAnd all theG pretty Cdames
They'llF hug and Amkiss youG all the same
And when they gFo, they'reC gone
They're Amnot GrunnCing lFate
COh all, Gall theC pretty dames
CAnd the kids yGou hold in youCr arms
With FpromisAmes to Gprotect them from harm
But they groFw, and theyC go
And Amyou're GallC alFone
All theC kids, all the Gkids that you Chold
And it's aC shame that itG ends thisC way
With Fnothing Amleft to Gsay
So justF sit on yourC hands, whileAm I GwalkC aFw-ay
CIt's a shame, Git's a shame, Cit's a shame
When my Chands Gbegin to Cshake
WhenF bitternAmess is all I Gtaste
And mayF car won'tC stop
CauseAm I Gcut Cthe Fbrakes
I Chold on to a Ghope in my Cfate
COh oh Gah ah Chey hey
May Fyou Amreturn to Glove one day
Well FI hope and I Cpray
You Amget Gwhat Cyou Fgave
