Jackson Browne – Ready Or Not (Guitar)

C
Someone's gonna have to explain it to me

    F                 C
I'm not sure what it means

   F                            C      Am
My baby's feelin' funny in the morning

             C                G        F
She's havin' trouble gettin' into her jeans

    C
Her waistline seems to be expanding

             F                         C
Although she never feels like eatin' a thing

  F                            C       Am
I guess we'll reach some understanding

        C            G           F
When we see what the future will bring

  C
I met her in a crowded bar-room

             F                 C
One of those typical Hollywood scenes

      F                  C      
I was doing my very best Bogart

    Am           C               G        F
But I was having trouble getting into her jeans.

   C
I punched an unemployed actor

  F                C
Defending her dignity

     F                                       C        Am
Then he stood up and knocked me through that bar-room door

         C         G         F
And that girl came home with me.

    F                           C
Now baby's feelin' funny in the mornin'

    Am                          C
She says she's got a lot on her mind

F                      C
Nature didn't give any warnin'

                D                             G
Now she's gonna have to leave her wild ways behind

    F                            C
She says she doesn't care if she never spends

        F                          C
Another night running loose on the town (she's gonna be a mother)

F                 C                Am
Take a look in my eyes and tell me brother

      C            G   F
If I look like I'm ready

  C
I told her I had always lived alone

      F               C
And I probably always would

     F                   C        Am
That all I wanted was my freedom

        C                G     F
And she told me that she understood

       C
But I let her do some of my laundry

        F                         C
And she slipped a few meals in-between

    F                              C         Am
The next thing I remember, she was all moved in

          C            G         F
And I was buyin' her a washing machine.

    F                           C
Now baby's feeling funny in the mornin'

    Am                          C
She says she's got a lot on her mind

F                          C
Nature didn't give her any warning

                  D                       G
But she's feelin' better about it all the time

    F                         C
She says she's ready for some meaning

      F                   C
After all of her running around

F                          C           Am
Bless my soul, she's got a rock-n-roll band

         C              G        F
Man, I'm thinkin' 'bout settlin' down

F                          C           Am
Bless my soul, she's got a rock-n-roll band

         C              G        F      C
Man, I'm thinkin' 'bout settlin' down
