The seven grain organic wheat bread is covered with mold
(G)           (Gmaj7)        (Cm)         (D7)
Screw the gas bill, I’ve got blankets for when it gets cold
(G)      (Gmaj7) (Cm)       (D7)
If we sit by the window, the internet’s free
(G)                 (Gmaj7)    (Cm)             (D7)
Let’s lock our bikes to the no parking sign, cuz I like the irony

Maybe I should go back to college, grab another degree

And in the evenings it’s beer
And if all goes right, by the end of our lives
We’re still twisting like we will this year

So come on baby
Let’s do the twist

Now that you’re already standing could you please grab me a beer?

THE COBBLER’S BLUES:

(double drop D)

Intro:
(D) (G)

Verse 1 (same as intro):
What were you doing when they changed the sign from Larry’s into Senor Buckeyes? 
I was with the girl I thought would be my wife.

What did you do when the money went away?  What did you buy and how did you pay? 
Your grandson wants to know.

If I never meet the man who makes my shoes, how will I know the cobbler’s blues? 
And now which shoes should I buy?

If you think that you would be a happier guy if you changed your place or you changed your time,
remember it’s all in your mind.

Chorus:
(A) (G)
I can’t change yesterday [3X]
(A) (D)
but I can change today.

Verse 2:
You can believe the news isn’t true and everything will go back to
“normal” real soon, but thinkin’ about what’s gone will get you down.

Well I don’t mind if you don’t mind and if you don’t mind then I don’t mind and if that’s fine, please pass the wine.

HOLIDAYS:

Intro:
(A) (A/C#) (A/D) (A/E) (A/B)

Verse 1:
(A) (A/C#) (A/D) (A/E) (A/B)
Of course she brought the macaroni salad
And there’s the uncle who’s always at the grill
There’s a heated game of bocce in the distance
As the aunts discuss the colors of their hair
And the younger cousins are running round in circles
Chasing who or what nobody can quite tell
As the older ones are gathered where they keep the beer
Saying words about the weather or the game

Chorus:
    (D)                 (E)
Cuz when you only see each other twice a year
         (A)                 (F#m)
You don’t grow close, you only grow old
   (D)                   (E)               (A)
But even if we’re faking it, it’s better than a holiday alone

Verse 2:
Now it’s time for grandpa to remind me about Jesus
‘Cuz that’s who saved him from his drunken haze
As he proudly leads the prayer before we cut the meat
While we pretend we do this every day
And the aunt who probably will not be here next year
Is telling me don’t ever get divorced
And maybe next year I’ll meet her replacement
To whom I’ll say the same things as before

Chorus

Bridge:
(A) (D) (E) (A)

RUN AWAY WITH ME:

(played w/guitar tuned 1 step down in C, can also play in G w/capo III)

Intro:
(Bb)

Verse 1:
(Bb)
It’s been almost a year since you asked me out and I don’t mind saying
                      (Eb)   (Bb)
that since then we’ve been quite happy together
(Bb)
But now you’re going after that second degree in a brand new apartment
          (Eb)          (Bb)
in a brand new city nine hours away
     (F)                            (F7)
And I can’t decide if I should quit my job and leave my friends
           (Bb)
and follow you anywhere

Verse 2:
It’s enough to make a man pop the question at hand,
half out of love and half out of fear of being alone
Because by the time my parents were the age that I’m now
they had stood in a church and said “Till death do us part,”
but they’re still alive
And even though I don’t think we should take the plunge, I do know
that I don’t want to lose you

Chorus:
(Eb)                      (Bb)
Take some time and run away with me
(Eb)                      (Bb)
Take some time and run away with me
(Eb)                   (F)
Before we get old and wear elastic pants,
     (Bb)                  (Gm)
let’s give ourselves a summer of pure romance
  (Eb)      (F7)
So please run away with me

Instrumental (same as verse):

Verse 3:
But I chose to stay and you chose to go and I’m still in that apartment
you used to call home, but now you don’t
And yeah, “the new roommate’s cool” and “how is school”
and “of course I think about you sometimes when I’m alone,”
like I am now
And though the friends are fine and we have some fun,
I’m tired of going to their weddings alone

Chorus

End on Bb
