[Verse]
G C
I was watching, with one eye on the other side,
D G
I had fifteen people telling me to move, I got movin’ on my mind.
G C
I found shelter, in some thoughts turning wheels around,
D G
I've said 39 times that I love you to the beauty I have found.
[Chorus]

Well it's, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,
C D
at the Hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,

G C D G
[Verse]
G C
I've been thinking, of a little place down by the lake
D
They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house
G
I wonder how long it will take
G
till we're alone,
C
sitting on a front porch of that home
D
Stompin our feet, on the wooden boards,
G
Never gotta worry about locking the door
G
Well its, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,

But I'm so tired of acting tough, and I'm gonna do what I please.

Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest
D
because if I'm the man that you love the most,

You could say I do at least.

Well its, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,
C
at the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,

And grab hold of me cause I’m your favourite fella,

A Martyr For My Love For You
[Intro]
Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am Em
She was sixteen and six feet tall
Dm C Am
In a crowd of teenagers coming out of the zoo
Em
She stumbled started to slip and fall
Dm C Am
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
Em
I happened to catch her and said
Dm C Am Em Am
"Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"
Em Am Em
Maybe for you, now
[Riff Break]
Am
[Verse 2]
Em
But not as shaky as I must have seemed
Dm C Am
Talking junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
Em
And on the phone I could not compete
Dm C Am
My dumb-luck fake competence was getting weak
Em
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
Dm C
But sure enough in a gruff, faint voice
Am Am Em
I heard myself speak
[Chorus]
D A
I could stay a while
C G
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
D A
And I can tell a joke
C G
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
D A
And we could share a kiss
C G
But I feel like I can't go through with this
D A
And I bet we could build a home
C G
But I know the right thing for me to do
Am Em Am Em
Is to leave you alone
Am Em
Leave you alone, now
[Break]

[Verse 3]
Am Em
I'm beginning to like you
D C
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
Am Em
I'm walking away from you
D C
It probably don't make much sense to you
Am Em
But I'm trying to save you
D C Am Em Am
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do
Em Am Em Am
I'll probably do
[Chorus]
D A
I could stay a while
C G
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
D A
And I can tell a joke
C G
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
D A
And we could share a kiss
C G
But I feel like I can't go through with this
D A
And I bet we could build a home
C G
But I know the right thing for me to do

Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

Am Em x3
[Verse 4]
Am Em
You'll probably call me a fool
D C
And say I'm doing exactly what a coward would do
Am
And I'm beginning to like you
D C
It's a shame what a lame way to live
G Am
But what can I do?
Em D
I hope you appreciate what I do
[Outro]
Am Em Am
I'm a martyr for my love for you
Em Am Em Am
A martyr for my love for you, now

A martyr for my love for you

One More Cup Of Coffee
[Verse 1]
Am
Your breath is sweet and weak
G
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
F
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
E7
On the pillow where you lie
Am
But I don't sense affection
G
No gratitude, no love
F
Your loyalty is not to me
E7
But to the stars above
[Chorus]
F E7
One more cup of coffee for the road
F E7
One more cup of coffee before I go
Am
To the valley below
Am G F E7

[Verse 2]
Am
Your daddy, he's an outlaw
G
And a wanderer by trade
F
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
E7
And how to throw the blade
Am
He oversees his kingdom
G
So no stranger does intrude
F
His voice it trembles as he calls out
E7
For another plate of food
[Chorus]
F E7
One more cup of coffee for the road
F E7
One more cup of coffee before I go
Am
To the valley below
[Verse 3]
Am
Your sister sees the future
G
Like your Mother and yourself
F
You don't know how to read or write
E7
There's no books upon your shelf
Am
But your pleasure knows no limits
G
And your voice is like a meadowlark
F
Your heart is like the ocean
E7
Mysterious and dark
[Chorus]
F E7
One more cup of coffee for the road
F E7
One more cup of coffee before I go

I lean to touch her and I whisper

When I held her I was really holding air

We started living in an old house
A5 C5
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
A5
It was a baby boy
C5
So we bought him a toy
B5
It was a ray gun
D5
And it was 1981
A5
We named him "Baby"
C5
He had a toothache
A5
He started crying
C5
It sounded like an earthquake
A5
It didn't last long
C5
Because I stopped it
B5
I grabbed a rag doll
Bb5
Stuck some little pins in it
A5
Now we're a family
C5
And we're alright now
A5
We got money and a little place
C5
To fight now

Apple Blossom
[Intro]
Am Em
[Verse 1]
Am
Hey Little Apple Blossom
Dm
What seems to be the problem
Am
All the ones you tell your troubles to
Em G Am
They don't really care for you
Am
Come and tell me what you're thinking
Dm
Cause just when the boat is sinking
Am
A little light is blinking
Em G Am
And I will come and rescue you
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Lots of girls walk around in tears
Em Am
But that's not for you
Dm Am
You've been looking all around for years
B E G
For someone to tell your troubles to
[Verse 2]
Am
Come and sit with me and talk a while
Dm
Let me see your pretty little smile
Am
Put your troubles in a little pile
Em G Am
And I will sort them out for you
[Solo]

B A
Fell in love with a girl
A D E B
I fell in love once and almost completely
B A
She's in love with the world
A D
But sometimes these feelings
E
Can be so misleading
*(After the E has finished the B is replaced by F#, same rhythm etc. just that change.
For the G|--0- bit at end of the F# play G|----)

F# A
She turns and says are you alright?
A D E
I said I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
F# A
Come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah
F# *(Single strike of the chord then let it fade to end of line....)
Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now
[Verse 2]
B A
Red hair with a curl
A D E
Mellow roll for the flavor and the eyes for peeping
B A
Can't keep away from the girl
D E
These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
*(I've got a friend says he's heard Jack sing it: I see stars in my brain, need a
hallowed meeting, but the record sings it: These two sides....)
[Chorus]
F# A
Can't think of anything to do, yeah
A D E
My left brain knows that all love is fleeting
F# A
She's just looking for something new, yeah
F# *(again single strike and fade..........)
I said it once before but it bears repeating now
*(Where he sings 'all love is' it might be 'our love', make up your own minds)
[Instrumental]
Back to B A D E
*(It's repeated twice with Ah ahhhaa ahhhhhh aaah etc. sung over,
you'll have to listen to the record to get that right, I can't tab ahhhs.)
[Chorus]

My left brain knows that all love is fleeting
F# A
She's just looking for something new, yeah
