Chords for Interview with The Sleepy Jackson

_ _ How [E] can I be cold all [F#m] night? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ We're Sleepy Jackson and you're on [C] Musichead.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
A song is like a person, [E] you know, so you've got to give them the full [G#] _ [G#m] _ _ respect.
_ _ [E] _
_ Dig for gold, you know, not for dirt in the song and [F#] work out what parts you can bring out that's going to be more colourful.
Like if a song's got a cool hairstyle which is made with a drum beat, [G] then you emphasize that
and you keep [F#] working out how it can be emphasized more.
If you [E] _ _
_ dress up _ the song [F#] inside of you, then _ [C#] it can become [E] _
_ a suit or a [F#m] character who can _ retain longevity.
[G#m] It's been designed with complete _ precision and thought and everything you've got, your heart, basically.
A song is for everyone, you know.
Universal record, meant to be [E] for every person.
A girl today said, [G#m] oh is there any love songs for anyone in particular?
It's like, they're all love songs [E] and they're all for everyone.
_ _ _ _ [F#]
Yeah, a lot [C#m] of things, everything [F#] changed, everything, completely.
_ [E]
So it was getting to the point where it was a bit like, not only a bit [F#] embarrassing for me, but just a bit kind of like, well,
It [G#] _
[E] was embarrassing, it was more like I got crafted as this bad boy from the [F#] verbs or something.
That just like, [E] sort of sends out like, _ _ calls and firing calls and all this stuff.
And it was kind of, [F#m] _ _ _ [F#] more like we just want to play music.
We just want to play music, you know.
It's like, everything's there, everything you want's there.
All you've [E] got to do is pick up your axe and play a few chops and have a good time, you know.
And write about what's going on in the world, you know. _ _
_ _ And _ [E] yeah, so I got to the point where it's like, _ I'm going to change some [F] things.
[C] I'm going to get it more like a business then, you know.
More [N] disciplined, _ _ more _ surfing trips with my [F] lawyer and stuff.
It's like, right, hello, [E] we just stay, everything's, everything changed.
_ _ _ Management, everything.
That time's gone, it's just [C] been about that time and what _ _ _ _ attributes [N] from, you know,
darker sides were thrown into a couple of guys trying to write some songs. _
It's really like, _ _ _ _ money isn't [A] like good.
Money sucks. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
We got a bit of time off _ _ _ [C#] before we did the record.
And I _ _ _ managed to get a [F#] sponsorship from FedEx and I got [C#] my voice box _ [E]
taken out.
And FedExed to Sweden [F#m]
and I got a complete _ Swedish girl makeover.
_ Massages, _ manicure, new hairstyle, _ _ [F#] eating sushi every day, drinking green tea [F#m] and doing Pilates.
_ [E] Once I got back, it had been through all these different tails and [C#] _ ready to fly. _
_ _ _ And I was getting into tunes as well and, [D#] you know, everyone's riding the band [E] and it's going to be a crazy time.
_ _ _ I'm set now, got pumping out some music.
[C] _ _ Luke's [F] song writing [A#] is a lot more intelligent than mine.
I just write little pop songs.
[A] I didn't [B] know about that.
[A] Oh, I think it is.
_ I'm getting there [E] though.
Mal wrote a hit song the other day and I [Am] was like, what? _ _
[G#m] But I [Am] had a bit of a concussion before the album because I [F#] fell over and hit my head.
[A] _ Kings Cross.
[Em] Kings Cross is_
Somebody beat me up and Luke [B] came running in to save [Am] me.
_ We were rocking ready.
[Em] We're not _ fighters, we're lovers, man.
[C#m] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] You know, you think, oh, you start beating yourself [C#m] up.
Like, I wasted [C#] too much time here or I wasted too much on this.
[F#] But you can't.
Shakespeare says, you know, it's done is done, can't be [E] undone.
So you _ still get beat up over it.
_ Still kind of go, _ _ [C#m] shouldn't have done this, you know.
And [C#] it gets hard because it's like heaps of money involved and other people's lives, you know, the company and everything.
And you [E] feel, oh, _ _ _ putting everyone [C] out and then you start trying to impress everyone and then it's [F#] like disaster.
[F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ I'm [D] quite happy.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ Make love to [Em] it.
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ [A#] _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [G#m] _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ Love [G#m] and listen.
_ [F#] Love and [G#m] listen.
_ _ [C#m] Oh, baby, [E] _ _ we _ are.
_ _ _ _ We're all around in the_
Yeah, we just stop playing songs, you know.
We play that on the tour for like a year or something and then you just get bored of it until you work out, _
_ [D#m] _ you [C] know.
Well, Luke writes, and this is no joke, [F#] probably about 20 songs a [E] week.
So they kind of get forgotten about.
_ [D#m] Unless you come across it like what [D#m] you just did by mentioning it.
Oh, yeah, I remember that song.
_ [G#] You know, and it lost.
_ [G#] But it doesn't mean it's not_
Yeah, it [F] saves a tune.
[D#] It doesn't mean it's lost forever, though.
There's still a chance to record it again. _
[A#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [N] Yeah, it's good to be playing live again.
_ _ Yeah, feels good, eh?
With a good bunch of guys.
_ Yeah.
Play the songs, you know.
Yeah, great.
Great.
It [G] _ is good now, you know.
The band is good.
It's finally got to a point where it feels good.
[E] You don't want to talk about it, you know.
You just want to [B] play, hey.
And if they gotta go, [D#] then _ [G] whatever.
Get another [A] band.
_ [E] We're not just gonna stop [G] and have a cry, you know.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
