about

This is the only song ever with Doug's lead vocals and lead vocals shared by me (Tim), Ken Kase and Ken Rose. It was a blast singing together all the vocals. We recorded them in Chicago in 2010.

lyrics

You’re getting warm
Cmaj7 F#7
Girls who’ll start a start a real start to melt your heart then AWOL amscre
Cmaj7 F#7
Never need apply they just pop bye bye just to empty out their ashtray
F Fm7 Bb Cmaj7
Shy saints salvate me
C C/B Am Am Am7(G bass)
I hid your lucky song between my ears
F# dim Adim G (riff)
One the count of three you can open your mind
C C/B Am Am Am7(G bass)
For love is all and love is everything
F# dim Adim Cdim G (riff)
Better start looking look now! You’re only wasting time

To the one that stayed I’ll kiss your ears
With an everlasting gob stopping grin
The water’s high the air is paper-thin
Never wander down the lonely, lonely, lonely time

Do not ask why, tell ‘em

Your heart’s getting warmer than earth’s inside
Fm
You’re getting warm (cool down cause I need a break)
C
You’re getting warm (cool down cause it melts my heart away)

Fm
(cool down cause I need a break)
C
You’re getting warm (cool down cause it melts my heart away)

Cmaj7 F#7
I believe that things evolve from things and all these things I know just ain't true
Cmaj7 F#7
I can tell the want from what I want to say and what I actually do
F Fm7 Bb Cmaj7
When I’m with you When I’m with you

Fm
You’re getting warm (cool down cause I need a break)
You’re getting warm (cool down cause it melts my heart away)
(cool down cause I need a break)
You’re getting warm (cool down cause it melts my heart away melts my heart away).

guitar solo over end part.
C
It's not in the cupboard, or in the rain
G G/G#note
or down in that place that makes you tipsy
Dmaj7
One step nearer look in my face
F Fm C
Now you’re closer you are getting warm

Like the burning between embrace
down in the place where down, down, down, down
But here in my eyes it's all encased
Now you're burning you are getting warm.

Like the sunlight upon your face
Can't cool down, just up up up up
Almost found what was once misplaced
Now you're burning you are getting warm.
