Verse



E

I'm not too good with numbers

         F#m                                 E         G#m 

I just count on knowing when I am high enough

A mule with only two legs counting steps

B                                     E       G#m

towards dangling carrots; don't add up





Chorus



Asus2

I think about you when I can

Once the driver knows you got good

sense, he takes away the carrots, too

Jesus made the flowers, but it took the

Verse



E

Tending bar in L.A. 

             F#m                           E    G#m

After dark, must be like mining cartoon gold

Rocks that won’t cooperate and 

B                                       E    G#m

tools will drive you crazy, must get old



Chorus

I think about you when I can

Sitting in a bar in LA 

B                             Asus2 

After dark with my sunglasses on
