Poor You chords by Daniel Johnston
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(G major) Hi, how are you?
(A major) Every (G major) morning he got up
Dreading each moment
he had to be awake
He'd look at the (A major) floor, scribble
on (G major) gum wrappers
(A major) He never found a better way
to (G major) joke around
The clock would tick and
time would slow
There wasn't anywhere he wouldn't go
To avoid having to see
anyone
He'd sit in a chair and lean against a wall
But that didn't (A major) seem to matter
(G major) much at all
But late at night he had a savior
In his sleep, in his dreams (F major)
(G major) She came to (A major) him and (G major) she said
"Poor you, poor you
(A major) No one understands (D major) you
Poor (G major) you, poor you"
And every (A major) word that
everyone would say
Got mumbled (B flat major) up in his (G major) head
(A major) Like mumble- (F major) jumble and everywhere he (G major) went
It seemed like everyone was
saying to him,
(A major) "Blah (D major) blah blah"
(G major) But late at night, he (C major) had a mistress (G major)
(C major) In his (G major) dreams, in his sleep
(A major) And she would (G major) say "poor you,
poor you"
(A major) No one understands (C major) you
Poor (G major) you"
(A major) This story, (G major) though, not well told
Is not that old
It's not that funny, it's not that great
But I (A major) know it to (G major) be true
Because late at night, (C major) I have an angel
(F major) (B minor) In (C major) my dreams, (G major) in my sleep
(B major) And as (C major) she runs her
(G major) fingers through my hair
(B flat major) As I lay (G major) on her lap
And she says, "poor you, poor you
(A major) No one understands (D major) you, poor (G major) you
Poor (D major) you"
