Biografía:
Jens Lekman es un músico sueco nacido en la ciudad portuaria de Goteborg y bautizado como the swedish crooner por su voz y estilo musical, que si bien dentro del medio de los crooners se consideraría bastante alternativo, no por eso deja de apegarse a sus bases.
Su música puede describirse como pop barroco; mucho uso de cuerdas y samples. Sus letras tratan temas primordialmente románticos pero con un toque especial y a veces con letras un tanto bizarras

[Intro]
D A Bm
A Mormon missionary walks through Vasa Allén
G F#m Em
Through a clear-as-crystal Gothenburg morning
A D G G/F#
Removing his suit jacket, loosening his tie
Em F#m G D A
Wiping the sweat from his neck and the sleep from his eyes
D A Bm A
It's 1997, the last morning of August
G F#m Em
At the corner of 7-Eleven he hears the broadcast
A D G G/F#
Another saint is lost, Lady Di's returned to stardust
Em F#m G A D
He listens to the tragic news, followed by the Top 10 tunes
[Interlude]
D Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm
[Verse 1]
D A Bm
Will Smith, Puff Daddy, Gala, Chumbawamba
G F#m Em
On the other side of the street he passes Café Java
F#m G
Where no one listens to that crap
F#m G
Both coffee and hair dyed raven black
Em F#m G D A
All so sure of everything except one question
[Chorus]
D Bm
What's our mission?
G A
What are we here for?
F#m Bm
Who are we serving?
G A
What can we do?
D Bm
What's our mission?
G A
What are we here for?
F#m Bm
Who are we serving?
G A
What can we do?
[Verse 2]
C G D
He bumps into a teenage boy leaning 'gainst the fence
C G A
Who takes his headphones off and introduces himself as Jens
F#m G F#m G
Riffling through the Book of Mormon, says it's way too early in the morning
Em F#m G D A
Instead of talking about religion can we just talk about how it feels
[Chorus]
D Bm
To know your mission
G A
To know what you're here for
F#m Bm
To know who you're serving
G A
To know what to do?
D Bm
To know your mission
G A
To know what you're here for
F#m Bm
To know who you're serving
G A
To know what to do?
[Bridge]
Em
To have a dream
Em
A GPS in your heart
Bm
A path to follow
G
Through the dark
D
Well, Jens says, I write songs sometimes
A
But they're kinda bad
Em
So if that doesn't work out
A
I want to be a social worker just like my dad
D
I just want to listen to people's stories
A
Hear what they have to say
Em
My friends say, "Just be a shrink then"
A
But I don't know. I don't think I'll have the grades.
D
But in a world of mouths
A
I want to be an ear
Em
If there's a purpose to all this
A D Bm
Then that's why God put me here
[Post - bridge]
G A
I know what I'm here for
F#m Bm
I know who I'm serving
G A
I'm serving you
