J Tillman - If You've Gotta Go, Go Now

G..C..G..C..G..C..G..C


.............G...........C...G
listen to me baby

.........................................C....C/b...G
there's something you must see

............C
i wanna be with you gal

...........D7
if you wanna be with me


it's not that i'm questioning you
to take part in any quiz
it's just that i don't have a watch
and you keep asking me what time it is


.....................G....C....G
if you've gotta go

......C...C/b...G
it's alright

.....................C........Em
if you've gotta go, go now

.....D.............................G
or else you gotta stay all night


i'm just a poor boy
looking to connect
i certainly don't want you thinking
that i don't have any respect

you know i'd have nightmares
a guilty conscience too
if i kept you from anything
that you really wanted to do

well if you've gotta go
that's alright
if you've gotta go, go now
or else you gotta stay all night

it's not that i'm wanting
anything you never gave before
it's just that i'll be sleeping soon
it'll be too dark for you to find the door

if you've gotta go
it's alright
if you've gotta go, go now
or else you gotta stay all night
if you've gotta go, go now
or else you gotta stay all night

J Tillman - James Blues

Capo IV

Am..G..C

C..E..Am..G..C

Am.........G...............C

James incurred the wrath

C....E.........Am

of a jealous woman

Am.......G.......C

Not long after that

C............E.........Am

spending all his weekends

..G...........C

Trying to relearn

.........G..................Am.........E..........F

How a young man yearns after a nurse

G.............C

Poor poor James

Most nights he has dreams
all his teeth are missing
Wakes up in a sweat
(Simperton?) heart racing
He throws back the sheets
Begins to eat without much feeling
Poor poor James

Desire is what makes
A (pragmamous?) human
Put me out to grace
Give this beast a burden
Because the universe
Makes much more sense without a purpose
Poor poor James

*Thanks to Raving Lunatic for the lyrics*

round the haunts where you might be

I think we both know, I think we both know

D...................Bm............................G.........C
when you look ahead what do you see

.............Em
is it just me

........................C
when we stop trying

you look alright under the burned out night
lets sit awhile and decide, decide
tonight
tonight
tonight
oh darling
it's too good for a lifetime
now the words in my throat are coming too slow
I think we both know, I think we both know
oh
oh darling
I think we both know
I think we both know
