[F] [Eb] Sounds [Dm] like people are saying, [D] arrr.
[Ab]
[G] It's kind of [C] cute.
[F] Yeah, I never thought of that.
[C] Do you have a sewing [D] needle and thread?
[G] Yeah.
[Eb]
[C] Captain Hook has [Gm] one in the back.
[Eb] [Fm] I hope that didn't come off [Eb] like we're mocking you.
We're really not.
We mock [Cm] everyone.
Yeah, well, [Ab] even each other, sadly.
But okay.
[Fm] Well, [C] we'll move forward here.
[Eb] [Cm] The song [Eb] is called Call It Off.
[Cm]
[Eb] [Ab] [Cm] There's a PO [Eb] box in the city where we [Fm] live where you can send mail,
and I go once a [E] month and I pick it up.
[Cm] People have been sending a lot of books [C] lately, which is awesome.
Most of them are addressed to [Fm] Sarah, but Sarah lives in Montreal,
and the mail comes to me.
[Eb] I know how to read.
Yeah, [Cm] and I'm learning how to read all the [Eb] books that people send for Sarah
because I keep them all.
But anyway, [F] I get so many letters [Eb] about our sad songs.
People write about life going in and I was married and this song, Call It Off.
People write [Fm] the most [E] amazing letters, but [G] really [Eb] depressing.
Like, really depressing.
Sometimes I'm like, [Bb] could you guys write some nice letters?
[Eb] Things are going well, but it's like, I had the worst year of [Fm] my life.
[Cm] But after it [Ab] got better, it got even worse.
So now, it's not the worst year of my life.
It was the second worst [Fm] year of my life.
This year was [Ab] the worst, but I [G] still listen to Call It Off every [Eb] day
and it [Em] makes it better.
I'm like, really?
I think you need to change some stuff up.
Maybe stop listening to this [Eb] song because it's not [C] helping, obviously.
[Eb] Anyway.
[Cm] [Ebm] So, when you think [E] of this song now moving forward,
it's not a sad song [Abm] anymore.
[Eb] I won in the [Cm] end, so it [Eb] can't be the soundtrack to your sadness.
[Cm] [C] Think of leprechauns and [Eb] pirates.
[Cm] And [Eb] Sarah.

I [Ebm] won't be sad but [Cm] here's how I'm going
[Ab] Every [Bb] day
I [Eb] make myself [Cm] feel bad
There's a chance I'll [Ab] start
To [Bb] do what I love
This is what I'm [Eb] going to do
I won't be out [Cm] long
But that's [Eb] nothing
It better [Cm] be
[Eb] You take your time from me moving here
I think that's what's [Cm] best
[Bb] I'll come [Eb] breaking
[Cm] [Bb]
I'll come [Eb] breaking My [Cm] heart
[Ab] Maybe I [Eb] would've been something you'd be glad

That they download [F] our record for free
But then they come see us play and they buy t-shirts
[Gb] And we really do [E] appreciate that
We appreciate [Gm] if you buy the record
But if you don't buy the record, at least do [G] us a favor
And [Bb] tell as many people as you can about our [E] band
Because as much as we try to make great music
[G] And keep building our audience
It really, you know, [Eb] takes you guys to do that
So, we're [G] going to play one last song
And whether we see you tonight
Or we see you next time we come to [Eb] town
