This is a song that seems to exist only as a demo (Bonus track in the album My Aim is True.
Elvis Costello plays alone on an electric guitar and I thought it was pretty cool so I tried to transcribe it.
He often plays an alternate bass pattern while strumming (1 - 5).
For example you can alternate G and D (open string) as a bass note on G, and alternate between C and
(low)G on C.
On "things are going fine", he plays a bass line on the E string like that : -0-0-1-2-3-
[Verse]
G C G Everybody seemed to have somebody better to talk to G C Everybody seemed to have something better to do D G And I was trying to look so mean and dangerous and ended up stepping on her toe C D And one minute she was a perfect stranger and the next thing she said was
I thought you ought to know
[Chorus]
C
I don't wanna go homeDon't get any ideas
G Things are going fine, then they all disappeared D You don't have to make me any promises Am D I can leave anytime I know C Even though I don't wanna go home
Don't get any ideas
G Things are going fine, then they all disappeared D You don't have to make me any promises Am D G I can leave anytime I know
[Verse]
G C G As I was drinking she was making her selection over in the corner G C Still thinking about the dancing perfection out on the floor D G D G I'd like to shake the hand of the man who started "slow dancing" time C D Am D And curse the crazy fool who dreamed up "closing time"
[Chorus]
C
Even though, I don't wanna go homeDon't get any ideas
G Things are going fine, then they all disappeared D You don't have to make me any promises Am D I can leave anytime I know C Even though, I don't wanna go home
Don't get any ideas
G Things are going fine, then they all disappeared D You don't have to make me any promises Am D I can leave anytime I know C G Even though, I don't wanna go home
