[D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A#] _ _ [E] _ got no [D] reflection, _ I _ _
[F] _ can't make [G] out _ [C] now.
[F] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
[E] Immaculate [D] _ projection, [F#] _ _ feels [G#] [F] go _ round [G] and [C]
round.
[D] _ [F] _ _ [G] _ In some [A#] ways, I [F#m] think my [E] first record I was reacting against like [F] the urban _ _ scene [Am]
I was
living in when I [E] first moved [Bm] back to New York City.
_ _ [A] And now I [G] feel a little bit [Am] more like taken in by [E] it.
_ _ [Bm]
I don't [E] _ always, _ _
[A#] I [F#m] could give [E] a _ chance, [F] just _ lying in [D] [C] your bed.
[B] _ _ _ _
[F] It's a little [G] Mexican _ _ theater, I think it's been here since the 40s or something. _
I'm not sure if it showed mostly [F] adult [G] movies or something in the last few years until it closed.
It's a pretty weird place to record, it definitely has a vibe.
We've been _ [A] playing with stuff [Em] showing on the [C] screen half the time, stuff just for the fun of it.
[G] It's just an atmospheric thing, it's quite different than a _ normal _
[Em] recording studio just
by how you [C] _ respond to the place you are.
We've been up here five weeks, which is [G] _
_ _ different than my last [E] record which was five months.
[G] We've done, [C] _ there's going to be 14 [G] tunes on this.
_ They're all pretty short, [D] like three minutes long.
_ _ [C] I really produced it myself with the drummer, _ [G] Dougie Bowne, who I've worked with for a while,
he's an amazing musician.
[D] And Mark Howard who [C] engineered my first record.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
This [F] Terry Incognito [C] is kind of beyond my last two records, it's a little bit personable
[D] like the [E]
last one.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[Em] I've played more electric [Cm] guitar on [D#] this new one than my first [C] one, but it's [Em] not really
in between the two records, it's more [C] like the next phase [G] for me.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _

I have to admit to the [E] guitar, I love playing it, I think the music I [Am] grew up _ on, you know
when I was a kid, or that my parents listened to in the 60s and stuff, it was [E] pretty guitar,
it was sort of the icon [C] [E] of rock and roll and stuff.
But _ _ _ _ _ [Am] really, I've learned to [E] play writing songs, and I still think in a way like guitar is
my personal problem.
_ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ Tell me _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's a conflict of, _ _ you [D] have this real heavy thing, you're [Am] like weighed [D] by, _ like this [A] really
like, _ _ anything can make you sorrowful, [D] but at the same time it's so beautiful, it's like,
it makes me see someone as what they [A] were like as a kid.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ Ground gears, _ as [A] you go, _ with all them secrets [D] that you know
_ _ As if to give _ _ nothing [A] away, _ but the signals you [F#m] obey
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] They're weightless as [A] a _ child, _
_ [E] falling from a [B] _
boat
_ _ [D] _ Helping to your [A] sighs, _ _ _ [E] it's [Bm] only earth [D] and God _ _
_ [B] Lately with this record I felt [E] sometimes writing [F#] like [B] the most direct things [D] I could that _
[A] almost
were so direct it was like scary [E] _
or, _ _ _ [F#] _ I mean [A] it's a little bit of a song that has two messages,
that has a mixed message, it seems [Em] like it's about X, _ _
[F#m] and [B] it's really has [C#] a slightly [D] other, _
[A] it's a little bit [E] darker slant, so in a way the tune is really like [Bm] without _ _ [F#] fears, you [E] know,
like [A] love without fears, and it's sort of explained in the last _ [C#] _ bridge of the tune,
[F#m] _
_ _ and it's all gun [D] metaphors, [E] like very urgent, [Bm] but like [A] really direct.
Oh, [F#] please, _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] you [F#m] can make _ [E] all the decisions, _ [G] _
[F#] you can make [E] all the decisions
I hope to be, [A] you know, I hope to be like [E] evolving, I hope to be learning,
and definitely [G] making a record is always a learning process, there's [A] always mistakes,
there's [C] always some, [C#m] you know, things that work, [A] that teach you something,
but then even the things that work, it's like, what do you do next, you know,
I [E] always want to be exciting myself, I think probably that's because I,
that's [A] why I started playing music in the first place, [D] is to, [E] you know, express what you feel,
and to feel like you're [A] always growing.
All I [F#]
find, _ _ [D] _ _ _ you [G] know, _ [F#] don't ask [E] me for _ directions,
[G] _ _ _ [B] offer [E] you no [A] infections, _ all [D] you'll [E] make love is all [F#m] I want,
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ you know, [A] it's [F#m] time and by [E] time won't you gun me [F#m] down.
