Biography:
Producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion grew up in a musical family: his father was director of the Yale concert and marching bands, his mother sang in jazz bands, and his siblings, Randy (a conductor/arranger in L.A.) and Laurie (a violinist), were both avid music students. Young Jon didn't deal with instruction or practice well, but his natural affinity for improvisation and melody more than made up for his impatience. Unwilling to conform to the conventional school system

"Ruin My Day" from the album 'Meaningless'
music and lyrics by Jon Brion
[Intro]
G A7 Bm A7 [x2]
[Verse]
G A7
I know it's today
Bm A7 C
so I guess you could say one recovers.
G A7
It's odd you should call me,
Bm A7 C A7
but then, after all, we were lovers.
[Chorus]
C Em A7
I don't wait by the phone like I used to.
C Em A7
I don't hope for kind words you might say.
C Em A7
You don't prey on my mind like you used to
C Am D G
but you can still ruin my day.
C Am D G
You can still ruin my day.
[Verse progression]
You're telling me now
you regret how we never connected.
Oh, as if you forget
that it's me you regret you rejected.
[Chorus progression]
I don't easily forgive like I used to
and I seldom get carried away.
No, you don't have the pull that you used to
but you can still ruin my day.
You can still ruin my day.
Bm Dm/F
Love! It was lovely!
C Em Am
And it hardly hurt a bit!
G A7 Bm A7
Sounds good to me, but unfortunately
C A7
I remember it.
[Chorus progression]
Now I don't use my place like I used to.
I'm not moved by your artful display.
No, you can't draw me in like you used to
but you can still ruin my day.
You can still ruin my day.
You can still ruin my day.
G A7 Bm A7 C
[Chorus progression]
You can still ruin my day, I say,
you can still ruin my day.
