Saturday Looks Good to Me

I love Saturday Looks Good To Me. Someone more talented than me should try to
figure out some more of their songs. Anyway, I hope this is accurate enough for
you to play along. Have fun!


G D G D
When you got to New York you were sleeping on floors
G D A
But you were sure it was better
G D

And you would get hungry
G D G D A
You didn't have money but you drank every night
G D
Between the subways and sunshine
G D G D A
There just wasn't the time to write any letters
G D
But it was out of your hands
G D
You hoped your friends would understand
G D A
You never felt so high in your life
Bm D Bm D
But now you're out of breath from your cheap cigarettes
Bm D A
And the wrong side of Seven A.M.
Bm D Bm D
You can't sit still but you eventually will
Bm D A
Cause every night comes to an end


G D G D
So draw up a list of new things to resist
G D A
And the people you kissed last year
G D G D G D A
Then on the back draw a map to the ones that are still there
Bm D Bm D
Not one part of your skyscraper heart
Bm D A
Can figure out which is for real
Bm D Bm D
You can't come clean when you're stuck in between
Bm D A
These ways that you constantly feel


A G D
So what do you tell yourself?
G D A
What do you tell the strangers that sleep in your room?
A G D
Oh, what do you tell your friends?
G D A
What do you tell the lovers that left you too soon?
G
Where did they run off to?


G D G D
Give me a reason that I can believe in
G D A
And I will believe in you
G D G D
Tell me a reason why I should believe
G D A
Cause I want to, I want to
G D G D
Tell me a story or tell me a secret
G D A
It don't have to be nothing new
G D G D
Just hold on to me while we walk through the leaves
G D A
If you want to, if you want to


A
Cause I want to know
G D
What do you tell yourself?
G D A
What do you tell the darkness that stays in your room?
A G D
Oh, what do you see at night
G D A
When all of last year's lights are no longer of interest to you?
G D
What do you hold on to?
