Start Jamming...
So this is a song I wrote in 1978 in this little room I had in Hollywood.
And I knew these people I used to hang around with at a club I used to go to.
And they weren't very good friends of mine, but they were very interesting people.
And I had a conversation with one of them.
He said he had fallen in love with his cousin.
But he was always moving a lot of girls in and out of his little room a couple of days.
And I wrote this song, and I remember playing it for him outside [A] on the street a day or [Bm] two later
because I thought it was a great song.
[A] I played it for him and [Bm] some girl.
[A] She said, did [Bm] you write that about him and [A] me?
[Bm] [C#]
[G#] [A] [Bm] How [A] come it [Bm] don't come in the P [A].L.P. [Bm] with me?
[C#m]
[Bm] Down at the meter no [A] [Bm] more.
[A] How come he [Bm] turn off the [C#m] TV?
[Bm] And he [A] hangs this [Bm] sign on the [A] door?
[D] We call and [A] we call.
[D] How come we say?
What could make [A] a [B] boy behave [A]
[Bm] this way?
[A] [Bm] He's [A]
[Bm] along all of the [A] lines [Bm] now.
Every [A]
[Bm] time he'll [F#m] stutter when he [D] talks.
It's true, [A] it's [D] true.
His sound has [C#m] acquired a [Bm] cool and [C#]
[Bm] uninspired sort of jazz when [A] he [D] walks.
He's [A] jagged [D] in his old blue jeans.
This ain't healthy.
This is some [Bm] kind of cream.
[A]
[D] Chuck is in [Bm] love.
[A]
[Bm] Chuck is in love.
[A]
[Bm] Chuck is in love.
[C#m] [D]
Chuck is in love.
I don't believe what [E] you're saying to [C#m] me.
This is something I have to [A] see.
[Em]
Look [F#] in the pool [F] hall.
[A] Is he here?
[C]
[G#] Look in the drug [Fm] store.
[A] Is he here?
[A#] No, he don't [A] come here [E] no more.
[C#m] [Bm] [A] I tell you [Bm] what, I [A] saw him.
He [Bm] was sitting behind [A] us when [Bm] we was at the [A] Pancakes.
[Bm] You know what [A] it is?
[Bm] [A] He's got [D] up his sleeve.
[A] I [Bm] hope it wasn't [A] contagious.
Is [D] [A]
[D] that her there?
[A] [D] Christ, I think he's [A] even [D] cold.
Is [A] [D] that her?
[A]
[D] Her [A] name?
[D] Oh, we're [A] never going to [D] be the [A] same.
[D] [A] [D]
[Bm]
So don't [A] you [Bm] know Chuck is in love.
[G] [A] [Bm] Chuck [D] is in love.
[A] [Bm] Chuck is in love.
[A] [Bm]
[D] Chuck is [G] in love.
