Jaya the Cat - Thank you
from their album The New Sound of Hedonism
Intro:
Dm Bb F C 4x
Verse 1:
F
It was August and I had a ton of problems
C
A well dressed bum with empty pockets
F
And to be honest I don't know how I got there
C
One thing just led to the next
F C
They say everything that you do in this life there's a heaven or hell
F C
That you make for yourself and man I've learned that again and again
F
Thought my ship had sailed I drank myself senseless
C
Said I was fine, but I never meant it
Chorus:
F
Then you came to save me
C
Girl I don't know just how I can thank you
Dm Bb F C Dm
We'll lay on the couch all day long
Dm Bb F C Dm
With the steel band music on the record player
Dm Bb F C Dm
And god only knows what I could have done
Dm Bb F C Dm
To deserve you when I'm such a screw up
Verse 2:
F
Commitment - I've never been much for
C
I'm so irresponsible I could win awards
F
And sometimes I won't call for days
C
I get so spun out I forget my own name
F C
But as the sun filters in through the cheap bamboo curtains we hung up with tacks
F C
I leave you to sleep while I go in and heat frozen pizza for breakfast
F
Well I got so lost I barely could think
C
I'd close down the bars I'd wander the street
Chorus
F
Then you came to save me
C
Girl I don't know just how I can thank you
Dm Bb F C Dm
We'll lay on the couch all day long
Dm Bb F C Dm
With the steel band music on the record player
Dm Bb F C Dm
And god only knows what I could have done
Dm Bb F C Dm
To deserve you when I'm such a screw up
