Less Than Jake
Ok, here's a great song from LTJ's fifth album Hello Rockview (an incredibly awesome
by the way.) Some of the syncopated rhythms the guitarist uses, like in the second verse,
instance, are a little tricky especially to sing and play at the same time- but it
fine played straight, too.
(solo gtr.)
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Eb5
So you think of what it could've been
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 (band enters) Eb5
When time is all you've lost it keeps burning through your head
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Eb5
(And now) you fall asleep standing but lie awake in bed
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Eb5
(Watch the) clock drag on and think about what you should've said
[Pre-Chorus]
Db5 Gb5 Ab5 Db5
Oh- It's for the better
Gb5 Ab5
Your better half is gone.
Eb5 (////) Gb5 (////)
It's OK - You didn't need her anyway.

[Chorus]
Ab5 Db5 Eb5 Db5
And I don't want to hear you say, “Nobody can take her place,”
Ab5 Db5 Bb5 Db5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5 Db5 Eb5 Db5
And what more can I say? You don't need her anyway.
Ab5 Db5 Bb5 Db5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Eb5
So you think of how it should've been
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Eb5
And "It's just over" Keeps going through your head.
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Eb5
(You're) hearing all those words time & time again
Ab5 Db5 Ab5 Eb5
(Watch the) phone all night and think about what you should've said
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Breakdown] (solo gtr.)
Ab5 Db5 Eb5 Db5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5 Db5 Bb5 Db5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5 Db5 Eb5 Db5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
Ab5 Db5 Bb5 Db5
Woah oh oh oh oh... oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
[Ending] Eb5 Db5 Ab5
Well there it is. This is a pretty good song to cover if you want an awesome LTJ song
don't have any horns in your band, because there aren't any horns in the recording (as far
I can tell anyway.)
Have Fun,
Jon
