Better Than Ezra is an alternative rock trio based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The band was formed in Baton Rouge in 1987 by Kevin Griffin while he and the other original members were attending college at Louisiana State University. By 1988 Better Than Ezra had released a demo cassette tape, Chime Street Studio Demo Tape. In 1989 the band released a cassette-only album, Surprise. They released their first nationally-distributed album Deluxe in 1993 (Swell Records / 1995 Elektra).

Rarely Spoken - Better Than Ezra (Written by Kevin Griffin) (Words Transcribed by Ferlen David III) (Music Transcribed by Douglas Kojetin - [email protected])
NOTE: the intro and refrain are used in other places of the song : the song starts with the intro and refrain To make it sound better, it is good to pick the bass note of the chord, then strum the strings. To get the strumming correct, listen to the recording. (I used the 99x Live X '95)
INTRO: CEmCD REFRAIN: CGDEmC (x2)
CEm Turn the phone booth down CEmD Feel the candle burn the light that is still burning C Let it out Em Let it in D Try to find the way again C Turn it up this time EmD Is that just how it ends this time
(REFRAIN) CGDEmC (x2)
CEm Turn the T.V. down CEmD Feel along the light the word is still burning C So breathe it out Em Breathe it in D Try to find the way again C Turn it up this time EmD Is that just how it ends this time?
CGDEmC You f - e - a - r are you now CGDEmC The lines are barely dry CGDEmC And w h e r e are you now CG And the line DEm And the words C And the thoughts are spoken now
(INTRO) CEmCD(x2)
CEm Kick your cell-phone down CEmD Feel alone the light the word is still burning C So let it out Em Let it in D Try to find the way again C Turn it on sometime EmD Is that just how it ends this time
CGDEmC You f - e - a - r are you now CGDEmC The lines are barely dry CGDEmC And w h e r e are you now CG And the line DEm And the words C And the thoughts are spoken now
DCEmEmC (x4)
(like intro but twice as long and a little different) CEm
C Long Em Will you run...yeah C Sad road Em To get you down D To get you down
(refrain) CGDEmC (x1) CGDEmC The lines are barely dry CGDEmC And w h e r e are you now CG And the line DEm And the words C And the thoughts are spoken now
