[Intro 1]
[G][A][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]People keep asking
me [F]why I do things that [C]I do
In [G]all of this measuring in
[Dm]fluence I forgot [C]you
[Em]You and me hiding be[F]hind
the Monhegan [C]Motel
[G]You told me things that nobody
[A]around me wou[C]ld tell
[G]That was the summer that [F]everyone
[Dm]touched me a[F]t once[C]
One [G]day they ignored me, the nex[F]t,
they were all down [C]my pants
But [Em]you were in bed with me,
[F]safe, before anyone [C]else
You [G]opened beside me and held
[A]me when I needed [C]help
[Em]You [G]and me lying tog[C]ether at n[Am]ight,
my her[Em]o[D][C]
[Em]You've been inside [G]me [Am]forever,
[C]Judy Blu[G]me
[A][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]I couldn't carry [F]a tune
but I thought I could [C]sing
And [G]no-one had had told me that
[F]thoughts were [Dm]a good or bad th[C]ing
But [Em]I started noticing [F]grown-ups would
would smile [C]and cringe
But [G]you taught me that you [A]could say
anything [C]you could think

[Verse 3]
[Em]I don't remember my [G]fr[C]iend
s from gymnastics class
[Em]But I [G]remember w[C]hen
Deenie was at the school
[Em]Dance buddy feel[G]ing [C]her up
in the lock[Am]er room
[Em]Margaret, bored,
[G]counting hat[C]s in the synagogue
[Em]Davey [Bm]was stirring [C]the tea
that you wouldn't drink
[Em]Tony was watching [Bm]his so-called
[C]friend friend shoplifting
[Em]All of them lived [G]in my [C]head,
quietly whispering:
"You [Em]are n[G]ot so [Am]strange"[C]
[Em]I don't remember[D] the de
[C]tails of seventh grade
[Em]All I rememb[D]er is [C]lying and being afraid
But [Em]I don't forget Kat[G]herine and
[C]Mike were going all [Am]the way
[Em]Steph on the scale [D]in [C]the bath
room alone [Am]that day
[Em]Karen pretend[D]ing [C]to puke
so her dad [Am]would stay
[Em]Margaret ar[D]guing [C]with God while
[Am]she [Em]mas turbated
All of those stacked [D]in my
[C]head like [Am]a love letter
[Em]All of those say[G]ing [C]"Aman
da you know [Am]better
[Em]You [G]are not [Am]to blame
[C]The wor[Em]ld's a fri[G]ghtening pla[Am]ce
[C]So go [Em]on and think how y[G]ou w[Am]ant
[C]You [Em]will not be [G]alone in your [Am]thoughts
[C]Well you wil[Em]l but you won't in [G]a way
[Am]'Cos a girl thou[C]ght it too i[Em]n a boo[G]k
[Am]that the [C]library bou[G]ght"
[A][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]People will keep asking me [F]why
I do [Dm]things like [C]I do
And from [G]now on I'll tell them Nick
[F]Cave and I'll talk about [C]you
[Em]Judy, I can't believe some
[F]times that I'm an [C]adult
And the [G]girls like I was think [A]that I
have this shit figured [C]out
[Em]You and me lyi[G]ng tog[C]ether at
night [G]in my [Em]room[D][C]
[Em]You'll be [G]inside them [Am]forever,
[C]Judy Blu[G]me
