  "Hook" by Blues Traveler

            from the album Four

  

  

  A          E             F#m   C#

  It doesn't matter what I say

  D          A             D   E

  So long as I sing with inflection

  A              E                 F#m   C#

  That makes you feel that I'll convey

  D          A               D   E

  Some inner truth of vast reflection

  A             E          F#m    C#

  But I've said nothing so far

  D              A        D          E

  And I can keep it up as long as it takes

  A            E              F#m    C#

  And it don't matter who you are

  D       A                D                      E  

  If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

  

              A    E          F#m     C#

  Because the hook brings you back

  D       A              D     E

  I ain't tellin' you no lie

      A    E          F#m    C#

  The hook brings you back 

  D  A            D      E

  On that you can rely

  

  <Keep playing with same pattern>

  

  There is something amiss

  I am being insincere

  In fact I don't mean any of this

  Still my confession draws you near

  To confess the issue I refer

  To familiar heroes from long ago

  No matter how much Peter loved her

  What made the Pan refuse to grow

  

  Was that the hook brings you back

  I ain't tellin' you no lie

  The hook brings you back 

  On that you can rely

  

  --Popper's Harmonica Solo--

  

  Suck it in suck it in suck it in

  If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn

  Make a desperate move or else you'll win

  And then begin

  To see

  What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free

  It's so PC it's killing me

  So desperately I'll sing to thee

  Of love

  Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self

  And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf

  I've tried well no in fact I've lied

  Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside

  To hide or slide

  I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died 

  And only then shall I abide this tide

  Oc catchy little tunes

  Of hip three minute ditties

  I wanna bust all your balloons 

  I wanna burn all of youre cities

  To the ground I've found

  I will not mess around

  Unless I play then hey

  I will go on all day hear what I say

  I have a prayer to pray

  That's really all this was

  And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck 

  I don't rely on luck because...

  

  The hook brings you back

  I ain't tellin' you no lie

  The hook brings you back 

  On that you can rely
