    Intro: (D)(Dsus4)(G) . . . (D)(Dsus4)(G) . . .

    Well there's a (D)hole wearin' through this (Dsus4)couch of (G)mine
    And (D)all of the cushions are falling (Dsus4)out
    One (G)little (G/F#)piece at a (A)time
    (G)You might see your(A)self in me
    But I (D)don't see nobody (Dsus4)I (G)know
    This isn't the way I figured (A)it would be when I (D)figured it
    A long (Dsus4)time (G)ago . . . a long time (A)ago

    (D)(Dsus4)(G)

    Well there's a (D)rule me and my (Dsus4)little boy (G)have
    You've got to (D)say I love you before you (Dsus4)close your (A)eyes
    And (G)he can dream him(A)self to sleep and (D)I can play (Dsus4)or (G)cry
    One thing I have (A)taught him well is to (D)never won(Dsus4)der (G)why
    Why, wonder (A)why

    And I see (D)Mars reflecting in my (Dsus4)little boy's (G)brown eyes
    And he says (D)Mama I'm gonna get there someday
    Mama I'm gonna (Dsus4)get there some(G)day
    And I (G/F#)say (Em)fly (A)

    Well you can (D)hold the whole entire (Dsus4)world in your (G)hands
    Or you can (D)borrow all of your lessons (Dsus4)from (A)me
    Well (G)life is not a (A)question, son
    I tell him (D)life is just (Dsus4)a (G)dream
    It's not as bad as it (A)looks right now
    Because (D)nothing's as bad (Dsus4)as it (G)seems
    Not as it (A)seems

    I see (D)Mars reflecting in my (Dsus4)little boy's (G)brown eyes
    And he says (D)Mama I'm gonna get there someday
    Mama I'm gonna (Dsus4)get there some(G)day
    I see (D)Mars reflecting in my (Dsus4)little boy's (G)brown eyes
    And he says (D)Mama I'm gonna get there someday
    Mama I'm gonna (Dsus4)get there some(G)day
    And I (G/F#)say (Em)fly (A)

    Well there's a (D)hole wearin' through this (Dsus4)heart of (G)mine
    And (D)all of the filling is falling (Dsus4)out
    One (G)little (G/F#)piece at a (A)time
    But I see (D)Mars reflecting in my (Dsus4)little boy's (G)brown eyes
    And he says (D)Mama I'm gonna get there someday
    Mama I'm gonna (Dsus4)get there some(G)day

    Capo II

    This one's amazingly easy. Here are the chords for the verses, and note that you'll leave the third fret on the top two strings held down throughout:

    G: 320033
    C: x30033
    D/F#: 200033

    But play the chords like this for the first four lines of the choruses:

    C: x32033
    D/F#: 200232

    (G)(C)(D/F#). . . (3x). . . (C). . . (D/F#)

    (G)Nearly died just (C)after my (D/F#)birth
    (G)For five years, I (C)fought the (D/F#)illness
    My (G)mother prayed and (C)prayed, for (D/F#)what it's worth
    (G)That time we (C)travelled a(D/F#)long
    (G)Back home to (C)Ire(D/F#)land

    (G)Mother called it an (C)over(D/F#)dose
    (G)They called it an (C)over(D/F#)sight
    (G)Either way, I should (C)not have sur(D/F#)vived
    But (G)since then, I've never been (C)sick a (D/F#)day in my (G)life (C)(D/F#)

    (C)Call it divine purpose
    (D/F#)Call it faith
    (C)Watch Mass on Channel 56
    And that (D/F#)way you'll never be late
    And God will (G)thank you (C)(D/F#)(G)
    (C)God (D/F#)will (G)thank you (C)(D/F#)(G). . . (C)(D/F#)

    (G)Well I've seen the (C)heavens open (D/F#)up
    (G)I've seen the (C)angels (D/F#)fly

    (G)I know all about (C)Noah's (D/F#)ark
    (G)Rain's been falling (C)all the (D/F#)while

    But I (G)still believe she (C)never got a (D/F#)fair (G)trial (C)(D/F#)

    (C)Call it divine purpose

    (C)God (D/F#)will (G)thank you (C)(D/F#)(G). . . (C)(D/F#)

    (G)When I'm staying at the (C)Holiday (D/F#)Inn
    (G)I see church on (C)Easter and (D/F#)Christmas
    (G)But every other Sunday, I (C)just can't (D/F#)fit it in

    INSTEAD

    This song is basically a repeated bass-line walkdown . . . simple stuff. As usual, Lori keeps her pinky down on the high G note (1st string/3rd fret) throughout the song.

    G: 320033
    G/F: 1x0033
    C: x32013

    Capo IV

    Intro: (G)(G/F)(C) . . . (G)(G/F)(C)(G)

    Well I can (G)hear you whisper as you're (G/F)holding your breath
    I can (C)crawl deep inside of you and (G)bring out what is left
    Now I need to be grounded, how you (G/F)need to see the sky
    You (C)have the wings to master and (G)have the soul to fly

    What does love mean to you
    While I'm (G/F)miles away
    My (C)lips seem to be moving
    But you can't (G)hear a word I say

    How can our lives be so different
    When we (G/F)sleep in the same bed
    Well I (C)know your life's a burden
    Won't you (G)dream with me instead (G/F)(C)(G)

    Well things are never perfect
    But (G/F)oh how hard you try
    You (C)need to have a purpose
    You (G)need to ask why

    Your senses see so differently than (G/F)mine
    Or so it seems
    (C)Your heart asks the questions
    (G)My heart just dreams

    What does love mean to you
    While I'm (G/F)miles away
    My (C)lips seem to be moving
    But I (G)don't know what to say

    How can our lives be so different
    When we (G/F)sleep in the same bed
    Well I (C)know your life's a burden
    Won't you (G)dream with me instead

    (G/F)Well go ahead and lay your (C)head on my (G)pillow dear
    (G/F)Say goodbye to all your fears
    And (C)rest assured there'll be no tears
    Right (G)here
    (G/F)Here
    (C)Here (G)

    While I'm (G/F)miles away
    My (C)lips seem to be moving
    But you can't (G)hear a word I say

    How can our lives be so different
    When we (G/F)sleep in the same bed
    Well I (C)know your life's a burden

    Won't you (G/F)dream(C) with me in(G)stead (G/F)(C)(G)


    PINK SWEATER

    There's no acoustic guitar part on the recorded version of this song, so what I've done here is sort of pieced together a version that's a mix of an old demo version I'd heard with something that will at least allow you to play along with the CD.

    Asus2: 002200
    Em7: 022030

    Capo III

    Intro: (Asus2) -- (G) -- (Asus2) -- (G) -- (D) -- (Asus2)

    (Asus2)Colors confuse you
    Light in your eyes will abuse you
    You are (G)weak and (Asus2)hollow
    (G)Blinded by beliefs that (D)I cannot swallow (Asus2)

    The (Asus2)world will condemn you
    Your beliefs will release but never defend you
    You are (G)cold but you (Asus2)boil
    You are (G)lower than dirt but (D)not worth the soil (Asus2)

    So (G)believe in your(Asus2)self
    Because (G)far behind the bars you'll have (Asus2)nobody else
    And the (G)hall to a dead man's (D)cell is long
    But (Asus2)I'll be the one in the (Em7)pink sweater
    (D)Dancing around when you're (Asus2)gone

    So tell me (Asus2)what were you thinking?
    Can't blame it on drugs, can't blame it on drinking
    Can't (G)say we'll for(Asus2)give it
    Cross (G)burning and blazes for the (D)worst kind of bigot (Asus2)

    So (G)believe in your(Asus2)self
    Because (G)far behind the bars you'll have (Asus2)nobody else
    And the (G)hall to a dead man's (D)cell is long
    And (Asus2)I'll be the one in the (Em7)pink sweater
    (D)Dancing around when you're (Asus2)gone
    Yeah I'll be the one in the (Em7)pink sweater
    (D)Dancing around when you're (Asus2)gone

    And the (G)martyrs run like (Asus2)thieves
    While (G)hang men dangle from (Asus2)trees
    But (G)you won't feel a (Asus2)thing
    I can't be(D)lieve that your last name is (Asus2)King

    (G)(Asus2) . . . (G)(D) . . . (Asus2)

    But I heard (Asus2)God
    I heard God's black
    So what you gonna do when you're up against that?
    Think He's got a (G)noose ready for (Asus2)you?
    Think He's got a (G)chain and a truck and He's (D)bullshit at you? (Asus2)

    So (G)believe in your(Asus2)self
    Because (G)far behind the bars you'll have (Asus2)nobody else
    And the (G)hall to a dead man's (D)cell is long
    But (Asus2)I'll be the one in the (Em7)pink sweater
    (D)Dancing around when you're (Asus2)gone
    Yeah I'll be the one in the (Em7)pink sweater
    (D)Dancing around
    I'll be dancing around when you're (Asus2)gone


    DESERVING SONG

    Capo V

    Like "Paying the Price" on the first CD, the only accompaniment here is Lori's brother Bob Giroux's piano. But I heard an old demo tape on which Lori played it on acoustic guitar, so this is more or less taken from that version, although arranged to match the CD. It's basically a back-and-forth movement on the fifth string between the C note (third fret) and the B note (second fret). Pretty simple, actually.

    C: x32033
    G: x20033

    Intro: (C)(G) – (C)(G) – (C)(G) – (D)

    (C)I don't deserve any(G)thing I get
    (C)Things just come easy to (G)me
    Like the (C)sun in the morning on a (G)blanket of clouds
    And (D)other things that you don't see

    And (C)I don't deserve my (G)family
    (C)I am the youngest and they (G)all love me
    And I (C)don't feel pain
    But I (G)don't feel free some(D)times

    And (C)I will shatter because (G)I don't bounce
    Feel (C)weight on my shoulder
    From something that (G)weighs just an ounce
    Like (C)life since the (G)moment that we (D)met
    But I (C)don't deserve (G)anything I (D)get

    (C)I don't deserve any(G)thing I get
    (C)I am self-centered and (G)weak
    And I (C)don't feel your pain or your (G)emptiness
    Or feel (D)sorry for you when you bleed

    And (C)I don't deserve my (G)body
    It (C)may not be perfect but it (G)works for me
    And (C)I can walk and (G)I can see the (D)sky

    But (C)I will shatter because (G)I don't bend
    And (C)all that I know is that (G)you are my friend
    And I (C)love you more than any (G)record ever (D)set
    But I (C)don't deserve (G)anything I (D)get

    (C)(G) – (C)(G) – (C)(G) – (D)

    Well (C)I don't deserve any(G)thing I get
    (C)People just take care of (G)me
    And I'll (C)never be sorry for the (G)way I see you
    Or just (D)sorry for the way you see me

    Because (C)I will shatter and (G)I will break
    And I'm (C)usually the first one to (G)make a mistake
    Oh but (C)God only gives us as (G)much as we can take I (D)bet
    But I (C)don't deserve (G)anything I (D)get
    And I (C)don't deserve (G)anything I (D)get

    (C)(G) – (C)(G) – (C)(G) – (D)

    The (G6)(Gmaj7)(G) sequence is a rare first string walk-up in which you'll play the high E string open for the (G6), add the second fret for the (Gmaj7), then resolve at the third fret for the standard (G) chord.
