G C Modesto isn’t boring like you thought it would be Am Modesto it’s not bologna like you thought it would be Bb Modesto isn’t lonely G like you thought it would be C At first I worked a vacuum cleaner salesman job Am For men I later recognized in Glengarry Glen Ross Bb I only sold one Bb She couldn’t afford it G She wrote out the check G And burst out sobbing C After work I hung out with my new church friends and traded stories Am We decided I should quit and then we laughed and carried on til morning Bb Next day I got a part-time job G at the local guitar store C Modesto isn’t boring like you thought it would be Am Modesto it’s not bologna like you thought it would be Bb Modesto isn’t lonely like G you thought it would be C I heard the perfect song at work today Am Having asked if there were bands to see and spots to play Bb Jim said hell yeah then G he handed me a tape C What I heard in my walkman headphones Am Pacing by the speakers and PAs Am Was a beautiful hilarious tragic mess Bb That sent tears streaming down my face Grabbed me by the lapels, stood me up, and put a 4-track G in my hand and told me son E Make all the messes you can manage to make A And move back to Seattle A Be the drummer in a band A There’s a girl from there that fridays on my lunch break F#m I write letters to F#m And I think she likes me too F#m And I'm gonna find out G I'm gonna go to bible college on my cousin’s dime E In my volvo wagon E Speeding up I-5 A F#m G E A
