_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [B] We _ started a [Eb] fire _ [E] that was never supposed to burn [Gbm] out.
_ _ [B] _ You started a [Eb]
band that was [E] cool for a while but it [Gb] turned pretty bland.
[B] _ I started a [Ebm] fight _ with [Dbm] the [E] neighbor next door and [Gb] his pesky [B] wife.
You started [Ebm] a job that [E] you hate when you're sober [Gb] and hate even more when [E] you're not.
And I [Gb]
know _ [B] you hate [Gb] me [Ab]
too.
[Gb] _ _ [E] _ _ You always [Gbm]
say you [B] do.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [B] When you moved to [Eb]
Japan, thought [E] a clean bill of health and [Gb] a camera could show you [B] the plan.
I bought [Eb] a bird that [E] repeats what I say but [Gb] I'm lonely is all [B] that he's heard.
You found [Ebm] a guy _ [E] that is clearly the opposite [Gb]
me with a black [B] motorbike I [Eb] dicked around.
But [E] it's just like a movie, [Gb] this picture is off with [E] the sound.
And I [Gb]
know _ [B] you [Bbm] hate me [Ab]
too.
[Gb] _ _ [E] _ _ You [Gb] always say you [B] do.
_ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [B] _ You started [Eb] to write.
It [E] was subtle at first but [Gb] the danger was clearly [B] in sight.
I don't [Eb]
reply due [E] to lack of an ego [Gbm] and laziness [B] cuts like a knife.
You say [Ebm] that you're good, _ [E] had a baby with Biker [Ab] and named him Forrest Whitaker.
[B] _ I'm laying [Eb] low _ [E] on the bubble, chance [Abm] you convinced me to give [E] him a home.
_ [Gb] I know you [B] hate [Bbm] me [Ab]
too.
[Gb] _ _ [E] _ You [Gb] always say you [E] do.
_ _ [Gb] I know that [B] you hate [Gb] me [Ab]
too.
[Gb] _ _ [E] _ You always [Gb]
say you [B] do.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I can feel the energy from the internet about that one.
_ [Ebm] Coursing through its veins.
_ _ [N] _ _ How does writing songs with Kevin slash Bad Books differ from Manchester?
Do you work out songs differently?
_ Normally a Manchester song, actually all the time [Ab] a Manchester song takes [Ebm] longer than a Bad Books [Eb] song.
I've never worked in a band like this before where _ [Ab] we start a [Gbm] song, I'll take you through what a day would be [Gb] making a Bad Books.
_ [Ebm] _ We would come in and either Kevin and I has a bare idea [Ab] for a song, the [N] structure for it.
We would start with doing a scratch guitar _ and a scratch vocal.
Then we'd figure out the _ _ _ structure and right away we'll track drums to that.
Once drums are done, I think we were generally doing a rhythm guitar next.
Then we would do the bass and in about 6-8 hours we start to see a song starting to form.
By 12-14 hours we're done with a tune.
Usually getting about a song and a quarter song and a half done a day is generally how we would work.
The amount of time we have to make these records is also a lot more _ condensed than on our own.
_ _ _ I think _ _ some really cool stuff comes out of that process.
I also think it's amazing that Ben Homola who plays drums, we ride him but he does pretty excellent.
He's hearing the song for the first time and then _ coming up with what he's doing.
It's wild not knowing a song before you start to record it and then being done with it that day.
_ Then all of a sudden you've got a record on your hands.
Manchester works a lot differently than that.
_ _ How did we come up with the band name?
It's all you baby.
It's all me baby.
What was the old band name?
Ape Priest. _ _
I wanted to call it Good Stories and we called it Bad Books.
