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
