_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ That was really, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ uh_ _ _ _
I wasn't kissing. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So, can I tell you a story?
Yeah.
All right, I'm going to tell you a story.
It's not a long story. _
_ _ _ It's about a band, _ _ something that I'm very familiar with, Jacob is very familiar with.
And [Eb] it's actually kind of a fable, it's about any band.
It's sort of a _ _ [E] universalist band.
Okay, here's the story.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] The singer of the band, Jacob, is a singer named Paul.
And the singer of the band _ is pregnant.
_ Or the singer's _ _ _ woman [Eb] is _ pregnant.
_ _ _ _ After all the back-slapping and excitement _ die down, _ _ an unexpected emotion descends upon
the band [E] member.
_ _ Kind of a threat. _ _
_ [Bb] It's kind of a clammy, [D] handed [Bm] fear.
And it's because the band, they don't even [Am] know why they're so nervous, but [Eb] _ it's because of [B] this.
They instinctively know that the band is pregnant.
And they instinctively know that [D] as soon as Junior arrives on the scene, _ [N]
the next thing
that's going to come is a song about Junior.
[A] _ _
_ _ _ [D] Written by the [A] singer, _ _ _ [E] guaranteed to be that singer's favorite song he or she ever [D] wrote,
_ _ and in great danger of being _ [Em] _ somewhat cheesy or perhaps on the other side of the [D] planet cheese. _ _ _ _
And [E] I've actually written an example, I think. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [B] For a rock band.
[C] You guys have rock music?
[N] Yeah.
You can take this idea if you want to.
[D] _ I planted a seed.
_ _ And I watched it [Gb] grow.
_ _ _ And now you're [B] here, _ Junior.
[D] And _ [A] I'm _ [G] so in love with you. _ _
[A] Oh, you.
_ _ [G] Because you look like me.
_ _ [A] Just like me.
_ _ [Bb] _ You see what danger the band is in.
_ [D] _ What do you say?
I'm the one who's in danger.
I'm the singer, [Em] you're the band.
What do you [B] say?
You know, we could get someone to cover [Bb] that.
_ _ _ [D] Maybe that's for the next album.
[Ebm] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [B] _ _
I need to tune this.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [D] That goes on for five.
[Ebm] It gets personal because [Eb] when my wife Diane and I were expecting [E] our [B] one.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
And so I did what any good sneak would do, and I did it by _ [Eb] Junior's song. _ _
_ And I did it in plain view, which a good [E] sneak knows is the best place to hide something.
_ _ _ [Eb] And I did it so well in plain view that millions and millions of people were like, oh, I'm _ _ _
going _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
