Maybe it would be fun, To get a new opinion, Get a little work done And forget

Verse 2

Maybe it would be cool If I rocked it old school Try to break a gold rule And a sweat

If I could just reverse time

I'd be set

Chorus

E B F# A

Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?

E B F# A

If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?

E B F# A

If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?

verse 4 (just like verse 1)

She got a new apartment It's out on the escarpment

And in her glove compartment Are my songs

verse 5 (just like verse 2)

She hasn't even heard them Since she found out what the words meant

She decided she preferred them All wrong

verse 6 (just like Verse 3)

Riff #1

Kind of like the last time

With a bunch of really fast times

Riff #2

If we're living in the past time

Soon gone

Chorus

E B F# A

Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?

E B F# A

If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?

E B F# A

If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?

Bridge

F# B A

We recognize the present

F# B A

Is half as pleasant

F# B A

As our nostalgia for

E B

The past'll be presented

E

Recast and reinvented

B

Until it's how we meant it

Chorus

let Ring

on first E

E B F# A

Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?

E B F# A

If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?

E B F# A

If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?

He's everything that you need

You wiped out on your ten speed

And either he will succeed

end of Riff #2

Or just suck

Chorus

E F# A

Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?

E B F# A

If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?

E B F# A

If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?

Begin the...

E B F# A

If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear Gee?

They Called me Eddie...
