Song: 4 O'Clock Stop
Group: The Lowest of the Low
Album: Shakespear My Butt
Transcribed by Dave McLean
INTRO Em D A C -- 3 times
Em A C D Em A
I don't know why you won't leave me alone. Keep your mind off of me,
C D Em D
and keep your fingers away from the phone. Because, I won't return your
Em D G Em C D Em
kiss, and sometimes ignorance is bliss. Well, I can't handle this.
Em A C D Em
It's alright for you, it doesn't make you an asshole. It's alright for
A C D Em D Em D
me, my life circles around it though. And I shouldn't close your eyes, and
G Em C D Em D
kiss each one a thousand times if my heart lies.
G D Em
CHORUS I was standing minding my own business when you came up and
C G D
decided you'd mind it for me. With a short list of long demands and a five-
Em C
gallon pail of sinking sand that you assured me I could take or leave. But,
G D
it never seems to work that way, it seems there's always so much more to
Em C
say, and it's always somewhere in between.

I would like to see you smile.
Em A C D Em
My heart is dressed in black, and her heart is dressed in green.
A C D Em D
'Cause you're beautiful in blue and every other color in between. But,
Em D G Em C D
rainbows are for skies, and hesitation is for sad regretful eyes, and long
Em D Em D
goodbyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, rainbows are for skies, and hesitation is for
G Em C D Em C D Em
sad regretful eyes, and long goodbyes. Regretful eyes, and long goodbyes.
C D Em
Regretful eyes, and long goodbyes.
