No Myth (Michael Penn) So, she says it's time she goes But wanted to be sure I know She hopes we can be friends I think, yeah I guess we can say I But didn't think to ask her why She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains Am Am/G? Cmaj7 ----> Am/G is 3X2210 with knots I've got yet to untie Chorus: What if I were Romeo in black jeans? What if I was Heathcliff it's no myth Maybe she's just looking for Someone to dance with See, it was just to soon to tell And looking for some parallel Can be an endless game We, we said goodbye before hello My secrets she will never know And if I dig a hole to China I'll catch the first junk to Soho (Chorus) Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees I'm between the poles and the equator Don't send no private investigator to find me please 'less he speaks Chinese ? And can dance like Astaire overseas Okay? (Bridge - chords are the same as the Chorus.) (Chorus) (Chorus) -------- This is how I hack it out, anyway. (I think this is right... did it mostly from memory without having my guitar here.) It's probably a little simplified. One note: Penn plays all of his F's as barre chords in the first position (113211) to get a richer sound, but it sounds OK if you don't. Someone recently requested this, so here's my version: --------------------------- Notes: ** I think one of the chords in the chorus is Dm played at the fifth fret (557765). *** I think MP says "on hashish" instead of "overseas" So, she says it's time she goes but wanted to be sure I know she hopes we can be friends I think, yeah, I guess we can say I but didn't think to ask her why she blocked her eyes and drew the curtains with knots I've got yet to untie...
