The Hold Steady – Hurricane J (Guitar)

A                            F#m
Jessie, I'm not jokin' around

  C#m                      D
I see the crowd you're hangin with

    Bm                       C#m
And those kids don't seem positive

A                                    E
Don't all those cigs make you tired?

         F#m           A              E             D
You know I'd never ask you to change, I'll only ask you to try

A                     F#m                          C#m  D
  I know you're gonna do what I know you're gonna do

    Bm         C#m           A                           E                               F#m   A
But 22 and bangin' around in restaurants isn't that much prettier than bangin' around in bars

    E                     D
And why do you keep going to his car?

A/C#m          D
  I don't want this to stop

Bm       D
  I want you to know

A/C#m          D             E
  I don't want you to settle

A/C#m    D            Bm           D
  Forget all the boys that you met at the harbor

A/C#m        D            Bm               A
  You're too hard already, you'll only get harder

F#m                         C#m D  Bm C#m
Jessie, let's go for a ride

  A
I know a place that we could stop

  E                                    F#m              A
I know a place that we could drink and kiss for a while

         E                 D          A
I know a place that always makes you smile

                    F#m
I know you're gonna say what I know you're gonna say

C#m                D              Bm                C#m    A
I know you'll look at the ground, I know you'll probably cry

                   E                  F#m         A
You're a beautiful girl, and you're a pretty good waitress

A/C#m          D
  I don't want this to stop

Bm       D
  I want you to know

A/C#m          D              E
  I don't want you to settle

A/C#m    D            Bm           D
  Forget everything that I showed you this summer

A/C#m        D            Bm               E     A  A/C#m
  You're too hard already, you'll only get harder

    D                          F#m    D  A  G#m
But they didn't name her for a saint!

                     E     A  A/C#m  D
They named her for a storm

                          F#m         D  A
So how is she supposed to think about

    G#m                    E         A
How it's gonna feel in the morning?

    A/C#m            D            F#m  D
She said if heaven's hypothetical

    A           G#m           E  A
And if the cigs keep you warm

A/C#m                      D            F#m  D
Then how's she supposed to think about

A              G#m            A/C#m   D
How it's gonna move in the morning

Bm             D                    A/C#m   D  E
'Bout how it's gonna move in the morning?

A/C#m  D      Bm             D             A/C#m    D   Bm
        'Bout how it's gonna move in the morning?

A/C#m          D            Bm             D           A/C#m
Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer

D               E
She don't wanna wait till she gets older

A/C#m          D            Bm             D           A/C#m
Hurricane Jess, she's gonna crash into the harbor this summer

D               Bm                          A
She don't wanna wait, she said it only gets harder
