[Ab] Okay, you ready for the big medley?
We're ready for the big medley.
Okay.
Okay, it's gonna be
without Animal House because that was on the charts too, but this is the
and I did have
this once.
I just do a little bit of this because [A] this was a hit.
This was a top 40,
but I don't know if anybody ever heard it, but people, you know, in concert know about it.

[Ab] [Gm]
[G] [C] [Fm]
[Gm] needs love.
[C] [D] That sounds like that first song you ever wrote.
It's got a little bit of that in it.
Really?
Well, yeah, a little bit of that, right?
Okay, so let's see now.
Let's start it off with
[Gbm] [G]
Well, [D] she's kind of pretty, [Bm] drives a big car too, and when I hold her in my arms,
[D] I never know what to do.
If she's got everything she needs, [Bm] what does she need me for?
Just a crazy [Dm] fool, coming back for more, [G] and I know she's no good.
[D] Can't live up on a [G] note I should.
[B] Everybody says, watch out, boy.
[E] She'll break [Gbm] your [G] heart like [Ab] it was [G] a toy.
[D] Man, I'm cynical, [G] way to be.
[D] Oh, cynical way.
[G]
[Bb] Down
[Gm] in [Bb] Jamaica, they got lots of pretty women.
[Gm] Steal your money, [Eb] then break your [Gm] heart.
Lonesome soot, she's in love with old Sam.
[C] Take [F] the [Gm] fine to fry and pan.
On [Cm] and on,
she just keeps on trying.
[Bb]
It just runs, [G] she feels like crying.
[Cm] On and on, on and on, [C] on [Bb] and on.
[Gm] [F]
[C] [F] That's what it's like.
[Bb] [C] [Bb] I've
[Am] [G] [F] [Am]
been passing [F] time, [Bb] watching trains go by.
All of [C] my life, [A] lying on [F] the sand, [Bb] watching seabirds fly.
[Dm] [C] Wishing there would be [A] someone
[Dm] waiting home [F] for [G] me.
[Gm] Sometimes telling me it might [C] be you.
[D] [Gm] It's telling me it might be [C] you.
All of [F] my [C] life, maybe [F] it's you.
Maybe [Bb] it's you.
[C] I've been [Bb] waiting for [C] all of [D] my life.
You [G] called [D] me from the [G] room in your [D] hotel.
[Bm] All full of [G] romance, someone that [D] you met.
[G] Telling me [D] how sorry you were, leaving so soon.
[Gbm]
[D] [G] That you miss me sometimes,
when [Em] you're alone and you [A]
[Em] do I feel lonely too.
[G]
[D] [A] You [D] have no right [A] to ask me how [D] I feel.
You have no right [C] [Gbm] to speak to [G] me so unkind.
[D]
Someday [Bm] I might [G] find myself looking in [Gbm] your eyes.
[D] But for [Em] now, we'll [G] go on living [D] separate lives.
[Em] Yes, for [D] now, we'll [G] go on living separate [D] lives.
We're ready for the big medley.
