Verse 1:
     
So I met a guy
He?s from New Jersey
Took me out to
get some food
What you do I asked
I play the guitar
Well baby I play
the guitar too

Do you have plans
         
for Saturday
Do you think that
                   
you could watch me play
I don't know it depends
          
on what's going on backstage


Verse 2:
      
So we talked some
more of scales and chords
And when I first attempted
to And he told me that's
not the way to go I said
baby I don't get you


Chorus 1:

Don't you ever play
                
what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got
    
the time to figure out
                
what makes you smile
or makes you tend to lie

Verse 3:
       
So he started playing a melody
And wanted me to start soloing
I don't know quite what to do
He said pick it up and
I'll help you through


Chorus 2:

Don't you ever play
                
what you feel inside
No baby I ain't got
    
the time to figure out
                
what makes you smile
or makes you tend to lie

  It's too late now

  I'll show you how
                 
  Put that guitar down
Put that guitar down

Bridge:

Time oh time it slips so fine
                 
It kills me about every time

I decide that time has come
              
Figure I'll go get me some

That's not what
your supposed to do
      
Don't dare go back
    
the failures too

Maybe I'm a failure
       
too so lets get on with it


(Repeat Chorus 2)


(Repeat Bridge)


outro:
     
So I met a guy
He's from New Jersey
Learned a little more
than I thought I would

Love Me Love Me
