Verse 1
Am 
I'm not even sure.
Oh, you're ready.
He's ready now.
He's all the way to 11.
And if Michael Hedges had any balls,
he would have complained.
No, that's not fair.
We haven't rehearsed.
No, it's true. We weren't.
This is a track from David's solo album
that Michael Hedges played the acoustic
guitar on with David.
One of the acoustic guitars.
One.
I said with David.
I said with David.
I said it, didn't I?
Didn't I say it?
Played it most beautifully too.
Isn't he amazing?
Isn't Michael amazing?
Boy is all over a guitar
like a monkey on a banana.
Just climbs that sucker.
You're thinking about a different way
Em 
Am 
than I am here.
So, this is an experiment
in songwriting schizophrenia.

in his own head with four people.

Am 
G 
The four of us were having dinner,
Am 
G 
and I threw down the paper with a curse,
Am 
and my wife said,
Bm 
Complaining doesn't get it,
you got to do something
C 
D 
or you can bet it will get worse.
Am 
And   my friend said,
G 
Am 
you've been watching TV too much
G 
Am 
C 
And all that you think of  hopefulness
G 
D 
C 
is just a crush
D 
Am 
But if thinking that way
G 
Am 
helps you to make it
G 
Em 
through the night
Am 
Bm 
Who am I to say what's
D 
C 
D 
wrong and right?
C 
D 
But I  think we're passing through
Em 
F#m 
in a kind of fast
C 
Bm 
D 
Did you think these tracks in the dust
Em 
D 
Em 
would last?
C 
D 
I think we're passing
Em 
through the carnival
F#m 
D 
C 
Did you think these
D 
Bm 
D 
tracks in the dust
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
Am 
would last?
G 
So you think we should all just sit here,
Am 
G 
maybe have another glass of wine,
Am 
while the world goes to hell,
Bm 
which you know damn
C 
well it's going to do,
Am 
D 
Am 
just down the line.
His lady said, I don't know,
G 
how can you be so sure,
Am 
I mean, some things seem
D 
G 
to get better.
C 
G 
You know the hero still saves
Am 
C 
the damsel in distress.
D 
C 
D 
The villain doesn't get her.
Am 
G 
And I said, where have you been living?
Am 
F 
Am 
I mean, they're selling death in the streets,
Bm 
cheap.
C 
Bm 
C 
And the lying politicians are rolling
D 
in the profits they reap.
Am 
And my friend said, he's right, honey,
G 
Em 
Am 
but I think it's always
G 
D 
been that way.
Em 
Am 
And he smiled kind of patiently,
Bm 
C 
G 
and I knew he was going to say,
D 
C 
D 
I think we're passing
Em 
through here
F#m 
kind of fast
C 
Bm 
Am 
Did you think these tracks in the dust
Em 
would last?
D 
C 
D 
I think we're passing
Em 
through here
F#m 
kind of fast
C 
D 
Did you think these
Bm

tracks in the dust

F#m 
the kind of time
Thank you for watching!
