This is so, so great.
We've been touring around for the last week and a bit with opening up for John Mellencamp.
So you sort of come out a little bit aggressive and I'm going to get you to pay attention to me.
And it's been fun, but it's, as I say, kind of aggressive.
So tonight, being able to put on my party dress and flat shoes and just sit here quietly [C] is really nice.
[Dm] Need me on the banks [C] of the Yanks here, Susie.
Need [Gm] the glare of a new [Dm] West Yard.
[Bb] It's great.
We didn't really know what to expect.
We're looking [F] just up because it's on the Internet, so we're just hoping for a nice day in the country [C] and that's what we got.
[A] [Bb]
A room like this, it's obviously, we [F] can't get too crashy in it because the [G] acoustics aren't set up for that.
So we try and control things a little bit.
We'll still [C] sort of push the boundary every [G] now and then, but generally we'll sort of pull it [Dm] back a little bit for a show like this.
It's just because of the nature of where we are and [C] there's not a PA to handle it and we want to make sure that [Gm] our sound man can deal with what's going on with the instrument.
So yeah, [Dm] every venue you sort of adjust a little bit.
You're still trying to put across the [Bb] songs that you're working on or that you want to put across in that touring period,
but [Gb] to a certain degree you sort of fashion it to the venue.
[C] [Gb] [Cm]
[Gb] [C]
[A] [Cm]
[C]
[Cm] I [G] have a warning, [C] a tattoo book for everything I ever [C] wanted and lost.
[Bb] I had a [F] long list of names that [G] I kept in my [F] back pocket, [G] but I cut it down [Cm] to one, and your [Gm] name's at the [Cm] top.
[F] [Bb] Won't you share [D] a common [C] disaster?
Share [D] with me [Bb] a common disaster.
[D] Yeah, yeah, yeah, a [C] common disaster.
[Cm] Well, I found myself a friend, but he's crooked as [D] a stick in [Cm] water.
[Gm] So now [C] I'm writing fairy tales to catch [Cm] the spirit of revenge.
Yeah, [Bb] he's got a plan to steal my little sister, [Fm]
[Gm] but [C] I'll not take concern because I'll get [Cm] him in the end.
[F] Won't you share [C] a common disaster?
