Sons of Bill - Lost Love and Indie Rockers

Capo II

G
yeah I've always had a complex
of inferiority
but I never thought I'd lose you girl
to pure androgyny

........C
up on stage singing

..........................G
with a fake British accent

G
yeah he plays the synthesizer
and he drives a one speed Schwinn
with an apartment in the ghetto
that his momma bought for him

..................C
he thinks he's different

.......................................G
I guess different is what is in

............Am.......................................C
and I'm holding back an urge to throw a bottle

............G....................................D
but you can't take your eyes off of him

......................C
he's so fucking cool

..................G
so much for me

.........................D
my sad country songs

............................G
couldn't make you stay

..........................C
and baby I can't change

..................G
nothing I can do

............................D
he's gonna steal you away

......................G
he's so fucking cool

yeah well I still chew tobacco
and you think it's gross as hell
but he smokes Lucky Strikes
and you were hanging on every exhale
as he lights up another song

yeah well he thinks my flannel shirt
is just a throw-back to Nirvana
and he says he don't like Country
but he likes Americana
Twang-Rock, Post-Punk
Atmospheric, Indie Rock and Roll
I tried to tell you girl that all those words don't mean a thing
if your songs ain't got no soul

but he's fucking cool
so much for me
my sad country songs
couldn't make you stay
and baby I can't change
nothing I can do
he's gonna steal you away
he's so fucking cool

..............C
yeah well honey would you love me more

.....G
if I wore women's jeans

...................D
or would you still be a victim

...G
of Post-Modernity

...................C
because you used to love Hank Williams

........G
now Sonic Youth's your band

.........Am
oh but honey I still love you

......C.....................D
so I guess you win again

he's so fucking

he's so fucking cool
so much for me
my sad country songs
couldn't make you stay
and baby I can't change
nothing I can do
he's gonna steal you away
he's so fucking cool
so much for me
my sad country songs
couldn't make you stay
and baby I can't change
nothing I can do
he's gonna steal you away
he's so fucking cool
