Me Around

by Michael Penn
from 'Resigned'

As perceived by Paul Furedi

  Bm   D         C#m7b5   F#
A fire that this town can see

     Bm   D        C#m7b5   F#
It's me a-light in effigy

D         C#m7b5     F#        Bm
I suppose baby don't want me a-round


She threw my stuff into a pit
and laughed aloud as I dove after it
I suppose baby don't want me around


            Em                Bm
Is this the place you want to be?

F#7        Bm
Out of the woods

F#7        Bm
Out of con-trol?

          Em          Bm
And is it really only me

    Bdim7      A7
Who never gets here with you


She changed the number, changed the lock
A rubber door in case I knock
I suppose baby don't want me around

(*solo over verse*)

(Chorus)

Is this the place you want to be
Out of the woods
Out of control
And is it really only me
Who never gets here with you

Looking up your balcony
By the light of the moon I will be
I suppose baby don't want me around

The stars above me are not real
They are the sparks of smitten steel
I propose forging is making that sound

C#m7b5     F#        Bm
Baby don't want me a-round

D            C#m7b5     F#7       Bm 
I suppose my baby don't want me a-round
