Here’s the thing…
When you try and orchestrate a sync, you’re more than likely going to miss it or muck it up.
I figured reuniting the participants from our May 5, 2012 would result in a similar off-the-charts synchronicity.
Instead, this happened.
NEEDLES
G D G
THERE AIN’T NO WORKIN’ PAY PHONE HERE IN NEEDLES
D C
HE SAID AS IF IT WAS NEEDLESS TO SAY
G D C G
WITH THE LOOK OF AN ESKIMO WHO’S BEEN ASKED FOR TUXEDOS
D C
OR THE WAY YOU GLARED AT ME THE OTHER DAY
G D G
LEAVING CALIFORNIA AIN’T SO EASY
D C
WHEN YOU LEAVE YOUR FUTURE WITH YOUR PAST
G D C G
BUT THE FLAG I FLY THIS TIME IS NOT “SURRENDER”
D C G
IT’S THE FREEDOM FLAG THAT I FLY AT HALF MAST
C G
WHY —– DID I HAVE A DAUGHTER
D G
IF I —– DIDN’T WANT TO CRY
C G D
IT’S LIKE —- DOUSING WITH WATER
C G
THE VERY THING THAT I WANT DRY
G D G
DREAMING OF YOUR LIFE WITHOUT YOUR HEART’S PULSE
D C
SURE CAN THROW YOU OFF IN DESERT HEAT
G D C G
SEVERING YOUR TIES WHILE MAKING LOVE TO LIES
D C G
BRINGS COWARDICE REGRET AND FOWL DECEIT
C G
I TRIED —- TO BE A GOOD DAD
D G
I TRIED —- FOR GOD’S SAKE
C G
I TRIED —- TO NOT BE SO BAD
D C G
AND I’M TRYING TO MAKE THIS SONG STAY MOSTLY FAKE
G D G
THERE AIN’T NO WORKIN’ PAY PHONE HERE IN NEEDLES
D C
AND AS IT HAPPENS THOSE WORDS SURE FALL TRUE
14.
G D C G
SO I’LL USE THIS PAY PHONE THAT DON’T WORK HERE IN NEEDLES
D C G
AND TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO NOT CALL YOU
