Jack Johnson – Tape Deck (Guitar)

        A                                  D
From my tape deck there's a recklessness

        D                          E
Inflections of the world we want

        A                       D
All my friends  my rusty truck

       D                                 E
We're just specks of love  directionless

       A                                 D
Call this band just what we want

        D                                 E
We can change the name from month to month

       A                      D
Four guitars and zero drums

       D                                   E       D
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk

E                          D E
In a world post punk

        A                      D
My friend had an old guitar

       D                                    E
He took some lessons didn't get very far

      A                         D
An Ibanez with one knob stuck

     D                                 E
Said  "You can have that thing for fifty bucks"

     A                                 D
Laura got a bass but it got no amp

      D                                  E
Borrowed skills but never gave it back

   A                                  D
Luke is just learning how to strum

    D                                                   E       D
But since he was the worst  we made him play the drums

E                D E
Play the drums

     A
You may find

     D
In the palm

     E
Of your hand

     D
There's a flame

     A
As it burns

     D
As it climbs

      E
As it turns

      D
To a blaze

      A
Well this flame

      D
It won't last

       E
Here it comes

       D
Hold it close

       A
Cause this blaze

       D
Can be fast

       E                      D
Set it free now there it goes

   A                                D
Luke's mom said that after school

   D                                    E
We could rehearse in the living room

   A                                 D
But that sure didn't last too long

  D                                           E
Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs

   A                                        D
We played these songs in the talent show

   D                                            E
And all of the girls would be in the front row

   A                                   D
But in the end we just chickened out

D                                          E        D
Because we can't sing  we can only shout

E           D E
Only shhh

    A
You may find

     D
In the palm

     E
Of your hand

     D
There's a flame

     A
As it burns

     D
As it climbs

      E
As it turns

      D
To a blaze

      A
Well this flame

      D
It won't last

       E
Here it comes

       D
Hold it close

       A
Cause this blaze

       D
Can be fast

       E                      D
Set it free now there it goes
