[Verse 1]
[Em]
[D]I woke
[Em]up this morning,
August, 3rd
It's been a pretty slow and un
[D]eventful summer
Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe
Went to New Orleans and went
to see my fam[Em]ily
Woke up this morning and it occurred
I needed one more track to
finish up the [D]re cord
I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired
Laid in my bed too long,
a little down, a little [Bm]tired
I met my girl and we walked
down Union Street
I was scared and my [D]head was
in a bunch of places
Bought a 350 dollar pair
of lamp[F#m]shades
And we ate at Perry's and
[A]we ordered [Em]crab [G]cakes
Blue [F#m]crab cakes
Blue [Em]crab [G]cakes
Blue [F#m]crab cakes
She said I seemed dis[Bm]tracted and
asked what's going on with me
I said I can't explain it, it's
a [D]middle age thing
She said okay and ate
her eggs Bene[F#m]dict
And I looked at the [A]walls cluttered
[Em]with sports bar [G]shit
Sports bar [F#m]shit
Sports bar [Em]shit[G]
Sports bar [F#m]shit[Am]

[D]
[Em]Got on the phone and I called
my mother
And called my father,
talked a little bit with my sis[D]ter
She's got a new boyfriend,
he's a deer hunter
And she's getting used to venison
[Bm]And my dad's still fighting
with his girlfriend
[A]About his fli[F#m]rting with the
girls in Panera Bread
My momma's [D]good but she sounded
out of breath
I worry [F#m]so much about her,
I [Em]worry [G]to death[Em]
I worry to [F#m]death
I worry about her to [Em]death[G][Em]
I worry to [F#m]death
[Em]The other night I went and saw
The Postal Service
Ben's my friend but getting
there was the wor[D]st
Tryna park and getting up the hill
And find a spot amongst the drunk
kids staring at their [Em]cells
Staring at the back at the crowd
of eight thousand
Thought of Ben when I met [D]him, in 2000
At a festival in Spain,
he was on a small stage then
And I didn't know [Bm]his name
Now he's singing at the Greek
and he's busting moves
[A]And my legs were hurt and[D]
then my feet were, too
I called him after,
said, "I'll skip the backstage [F#m]"Hi Bye"
But thanks for the nice music and
[Em]all the [G]exercise"[Em]
And we laughed and it was al[F#m]right
And we laughed and it was al[Em]right[G][Em]
It was [F#m]alright
There's a thin line [Em]between a
middle—aged guy with a backstage pass
And a guy with a gut hangin'
around like a [D]jackass
Everybody was 20 years
younger than me
At least I leave with this as my fondest [Em]memory
I carried my legs back down the hill
Gave my backstage pass to two
cute Asi[D]an girls
I drove to my place near Tahoe
Got in my hot tub and I thought,
"Well, that's how it [Em]goes"
It was quiet and I was listening
to the crickets
And Ben's still out there,
selling lots of tickets
And though [D]I'm tentative there's
attention better than this
But Ben's my friend and
I know he gets [Bm]it
Then in a couple of days
my meltdown [A]passed
Back to the studio [D]doing
twelve—hour shifts
Singing a song about one
thing or an[F#m]other
Another day behind the [D]mi
crophone [Em]this [G]summer[Em]
This tender[F#m]loin summer
This tenderloin [Em]sum [G]mer[Em]
This [F#m]tenderloin summer
