The Judybats were an "alternative rock" band from Knoxville, Tennessee. They recorded four albums and two singles from 1990 to 1994 and had minor success with a cover of Roky Erickson's "She Lives (In A Time of Her Own)" and their 1993 song "Being Simple". Other fan favorites were "Don't Drop the Baby", "Ugly on the Outside", "She's Sad She Said", "All I Want To Do Is F*ck Your Hair", and a cover of the Gary Numan track "Cars", the latter two being b-sides.

Play each chord for one measure (4 beats). A dash (-) indicates to keep playing the same chord. Build up with E for two measures, then.
Intro Chords: EC#mED (2x)
Verse 1: E - This is our story.
C#mG#m It's a short one, but it's a
F#m - Hard harsh read.
B Between the lines, a little aching need.
E - We're a strange arrangement;
C#mG#m No strings.
F#m - But the music we make is
B Serpentine and bittersweet.
E - In my youth, you know,
C#mG#m I loved you like gangbusters.
F#m Now I watch you fall.
B Twisting, turning, growing small.
E - C#m You're a roomful of sorrow,
G#m A spoonful of joy
F#m Another infidelity
B Another pain, another golden glitter boy.
Chorus: AG#m IiiiiiiiiiiiiIiiiiiiiiii
C#m - I want you. I know it's crazy,
B But I really want to leave you, too.
AG#m IiiiiiiiiiiiiIiiiiiiiiii
C#mB I want you. Boy, oh boy, you bring me joy And then you make me blue.
With intro chords: I love to love you; I'm a fool. You're callous and you're cold, And oh, so cruel.
Verse 2: I'm starting to forget things. Faces, names. Games played, plans laid. Surely, there were promises made.
Good love is easy to find, But it's hard to keep. And though I hate it when you wake, I still love to watch you sleep.
Chorus.
Repeat intro chords 4x during break.
Using chorus chords 1x through: Oooooooh,Ooooooooooh,Oooooooooooooh
Verse 3: Remember the early days When nickels were dimes, And a dollar took us everywhere. I don't think I ever combed my hair.
Is this our story? Is this where the loving starts? In the stillness, the staring, The hardening of hearts?
We're a strange arrangement; No strings. This is not my place, these are not my things. It's not my way, the pain love brings.
