From the album _Freak City Soundtrack_.

Written by: Jim Ellison

I'm not super sure about the chorus, but what I have here works

for me... And incidently, the lyrics in the liner notes for this

song our wrong in a few places; that's so like them. :)

G

Well I know it's been a little while

Bmin

Since the first time that I made you smile

Emin D C

And I thought I'd take this opportunity

G

To dig a little deeper inside

Bmin Emin

And try to find out what someone like you

D C

is trying to hide from me

C D

Well I hope that you don't get angry girl

G F# F E

I hope you don't get hurt

D C D C G

By the things I found while goin' through your purse

Your Make-up, your compact, lipstick, and shit like that

And the keys that you keep on a chain

Your cigarettes and my lighter too

And a picture of your sister

God I think your one in the same

Then I cleverly put all these things back into place so you

Wouldn't think that I was a jerk

The things I found while goin' through your purse

[the solo goes something like this:]

E|-------------------------4-5-7--4-5-7--4-5-7-4----

B|-4-5-7--4-5-7--4-5-7-4----------------------------

G|------

E|-/9--12---9\-7--10---7\-5---567-5-----

B|--------------------------------------

G|------

(bend up)

E|------------------------5-6^(7)-(7)-(7)--5--4-----

B|-5-6^(7)-(7)-(7)--5--4----------------------------

G|------

E|-/9--12---9\-7--10---7\-5---567-5\----

B|--------------------------------------

G|------

Then I cleverly put all these things back into place so you

Wouldn't think that I was a jerk

The things I found while goin' through your purse

[Drum fill... next verse no guitar]

Well a photo of your mother too

And all the guys who date you

And your high school graduation ring

And a check stub from the place you work

Some poetry from some

Stupid jerk who's tryin' to

Steal your heart away from me

Well I hope that you don't get offended girl

Yeah and I hope you don't get hurt

By the things I found while going through

Yeah the things I found when I was goin' thru

The things I found while goin' thru your purse

[variation of solo... end on open Emin chord ]
