Biography:
Jens Martin Lekman (born February 6, 1981 in Angered, Sweden) is a Swedish musician. He has released four albums and several EPs since 2003. His music can be described as guitar-based pop with heavy use of samples and strings, with lyrics that are often witty, romantic, and lachrymose. His work is often compared to that of Stephin Merritt of the The Magnetic Fields, Jonathan Richman and Morrissey.
Lekman recorded and released much of his material privately from 2000 to 2003 on CD-R.

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
It's autumn in Gothenburg
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
I'm walking home to my suburb
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Gm
Rain falls hard on the city
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
On every homeless kitty
[Verse 2]
Bbmaj7
Oh please God bring relief
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Even if it's only brief
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Gm
That she says that we were just make-believe
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
But I thought she said maple leaves
[Solo 1]
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
So we talked for hours
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
And you cried into my sheets
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
And you said you hated your body
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
That it was just a piece of meat
Fmaj7
I disagreed
[Verse 4]
Bbmaj7
I think you're beautiful
Fmaj7
But it's impossible
Bbmaj7
To make you understand
Fmaj7
That if you don't take my hand
Bbmaj7
I'll lose my mind completely
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Gm
Madness will finally defeat me
Bbmaj7
She said it was all make-belief
Fmaj7
But I thought she said maple leaves
Bbmaj7
And when she talked about the fall
Fmaj7
I thought she talked about the season
Bbmaj7
I never understood at all
Gm
I thought she said maple leaves
Bbmaj7
And when she talked about the fall
Gm
I thought she talked about Mark E Smith
Bbmaj7 Gm
I never understood at all
Bbmaj7 Gm
I never understood at all
Fmaj Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
I never understood at all
