This & That

By Michael Penn, ©1989
Transcribed here by me, Tom (1997)

Notes:

  • This is a comparatively simple song when looking at his other stuff... of course, however, this doesn't make it an ordinary song by any means though. There is beauty in simplicity... so I don't have many notes to put here. I suppose I could write out the keyboard solo... hmm.

Time Signature: 4-4
Tempo: Just barely Allegro

(Introduction)
| F | G | F | G Em |   


| F |	Well you cut me to the quick
| G |	with some kind of abandon
| F |	and I'm pouring over every 
| G Em| word in my mind
| F |	And it isn't making sense
| G |	'cause it's coming back at random 
| F |	and I already forgot what I 
| G Em| expected to find 
| F |	So maybe it's the wrong game 
| G |	I shut down the replay
| F |	maybe it's a case of 
| G Em| hardness of heart 
| F |	but I'm down for the count
| G |	and there's got to be someway
| F |	to clear out whatever 
| G Em| keeps us apart

| F |	I'll do this
| G |	and I'll do that
| F Am| I'll be burning 
| Em |	canyons for you 
| F |	I'll do this 
| G |	and I'll do that
|F Am|Dm| and I will wait forever if you'll 
| G |	be there

| F |	Now I haven't got a chance
| G |	if there's no silver lining
| F |	I'm far past the point of 
| G Em| doing what's right
| F |	I can still strike the match
| G |	that'll start the mountains shining
| F |	there might be something 
| G Em| new in that light 

| F |	I'll do this
| G |	and I'll do that
| F Am| I'll be burning 
| Em |	canyons for you
| F |	I'll do this
| G |	and I'll do that
| F Am| but I can't wait 'till 
| Dm |  heaven I won't 
| G |	be there...

(Interlude... Keyboard solo...)
| F | F | G | G | F | F | G | G Em |

| F |	I'll do this
| G |	and I'll do that
| F Am| I'll be burning 
| Em |	canyons for you
| F |	I'll do this
| G |	and I'll do that
|F Am|Dm Em| And I will wait forever if you'll 
| F |	be there...
| G |

| F |	I'll do this
| G |	and I'll do that
| F Am| I'll be burning 
| Em |	canyons for you
| F |	I'll do this
| G |	and I'll do that
| F Am| but I can't wait 'till 
| Dm |	heaven I won't 
| G |	be there...

| F | G | F Am | Em |   x5 and then fade out
