The D-Em-G parts are really syncopated so its hard to pace the change in the chords
to the words. It may be off a little bit.
Intro:
Verse 1:
Jenny's got a job, a cat named Jake
Thirty-one candles on her birthday cake next year
Thought by now she'd have a man
Two car-seats in a minivan
But it still ain't here, hey
Verse 2:
She's been looking for Mr. Right so long
But all she's found is Mr. Wrong
And that's the pits
She's drawn a line that she won't cross
Her and time are facing off
She says, something's gotta give
chorus: -----------------------------
Something's gotta give me butterflies
Something's gotta make me feel ali-i-i-ive
And something's gotta give me dreams at night
Something's gotta make me feel alright
I don't know where it is
Yeah, but something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
-------------------------------------
Verse 3:
Friday night she had a date
Cell phone junky, a half hour late
That's the biz, baby
She's running out the twists of fate
She's had all that she can take
She says, something's gotta give
chorus: -----------------------------
Something's gotta give me butterflies
Something's gotta make me feel ali-i-i-ive
And something's gotta give me dreams at night
Something's gotta make me feel alright
I don't know where it is
Yeah, but something's gotta give
-------------------------------------
Bridge: (I have NO idea what the chords are here)
I swear, there's got to be a 'meant to be'
For me out there
Somewhere, someday
I'm gonna find someone, somehow, someway
Verse 4:
Jenny's got a job, a cat named Jake
Thirty-one candles on her birthday cake next year
Thought by now she'd have a man
Two car-seats in a minivan
She says something's got
Something's got Something's gotta
chorus: -----------------------------
Something's gotta give me butterflies
Something's gotta make me feel ali-i-i-ive
And something's gotta give me dreams at night
Something's gotta make me feel alright
I don't know where it is
Yeah, but something's gotta
I don't know where it is
Yeah, but something's gotta
I don't know where it is
Yeah, but something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
(solo)
