Chords for 13 Mike Viola - That Thing You Do

[N] Speaking [E] of getting big playing music, I do movies, I do songs for movies [C#] every once in a while _
[E] when they come along.
And [G] this song was done in the 90s, and we had a long discussion about [B] this earlier.
_ _ [G] Dre, this is for you, wherever you're at. _ _ _ _
_ And [G#] it came about in such a funny way, and it was [G] _ _ _ so much fun [E] to do.
_ And it's been a fun song to be carrying around all these [A] years.
And for years [G] I just didn't play it because [C#] it just wasn't _ something that I think people really wanted to hear.
But as time went on, people really wanted to hear [G] the song.
_ _ _ [E] _
And the riff at the top, which is [D] a riff I wrote, but I stole [E] it from the Pixies, if you're a Pixies fan.
_ _ Listen [G#] to _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ this song called Caribou, _ and it's exactly this riff.
[E] _ _
[G] _ _ And I [D] once played a gig with Black Francis, otherwise known as Frank Black.
_ _ [C#] _ And I played [D] a gig with him, and I said, man, I just ripped you off [Bm] cold.
He's like, I thought you did.
[E] But it wasn't me, it was my guitar player who came up with that riff.
But it _ goes_
_ _ [Am] _ _ That's the Pixies.
And he [E] goes_ _ _ _ _
_ Anyway, this is that thing you do. _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ And [C#] you guys should all sing along if you want.
Because [F#] that's the fun of a song [Em] like this.
And I might sneeze. _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Never _ even [C#m] knew about [F#] the _ heartache
_ [D] _ _
You're going [E] _ [B] through
[C#m] But I have tried to [F#] forget you, girl
[E] But it's got so hard to [A] _ _
do
[E] Every _ time you [Am] do that thing you [E] do
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ I _ _
[A] follow you to the [E] end
And I'm gonna find the [C#m] place [F#] where you know that _ _ _
_ I'm [Am] gonna find the [B] place where you [Em] know that
[A] You'll be happy, [B] can't you [Em] see
If [A] you only let me [C#m] be
I want to [F#] hold you
_ [D] Can you do it [B] with me?
_ _ [C#m] I'm trying, trying [F#] to forget you, girl
But [E] it's got so hard [A] to do
_ _ _ [E] Every time you [Am] do that thing you [E]
do _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] I'm gonna ask for love, girl
Cause [C#m] I won't let you show _
Cause [F#] I have a cat, girl
_ [B] And it just can't stand you [C] _ _ anymore _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Yeah _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ It [E] doesn't mean you'll be happy, [B] can't you see
_ [A] If you only let me [C#m]
be
But I'm gonna hold you
[D] Can you do it [B] with me?
Cause [C#m] if I take something [F#] to you, girl
_ [E] I'll get some on [A]
you
_ [E] If I know you, [A] you're doing that thing
_ [E] Every day, [A] just doing that thing
[E] I can't take [B] you, doing that [A] thing you _ do
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ Every time you hear [E] the wonder sing, that's my voice
