John Mayer Trio

i got half a smile
and zero shame
i got a reflection
with a different name
got a brand new blues
i can't explain
who did you think i was
every morning
when the day begins
i make up my mind
but change it back again
i'm a shifter of the
shape i'm in
who did you think i was
you got my number
but i always knew the score
who did you think i was
am i the one
who plays the quiet songs
is he the one
who turns the ladies on
will i keep shinin til
my light is gone
who did you think i was
you got my number
but i always knew the score
who did you think i was

here is a line
that you won't understand
i'm half of the boy
but twice the man
carry the weight
of the world
in the palm of my hand
who did you think i was
who did you think i was

I'm a lazy lover
Undercover
Wasting time
Then one day this summer
I changed my number
To cut my line

Good love is on the way
I been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way

3 years broken hearted
But now her ghost is finally gone
I'm done with broken people
This is me
I'm workin on

Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know I'll be ok
Good love is on the way

Good to go for wherever I'm needed
Bags are packed and they're
Down by the door
You can take all the tricks up my sleeve
I don't need them any more
Good love is on the way
Good love is on the way
I've been lonely but I know ill be ok
Good love is on the way

Well, I'm standing here, freezing, inside your golden garden
Uh got my ladder, leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on dolly mae, there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me...

I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right,
so until tomorrow, goodnight.

Oh, dolly mae, how can you hang me up this way ?
Oh, on the phone you said you
wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm standing here like
some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter
from the mixed mind of you
And you keep tellin' me that ah...

I think we better wait till tomorrow
I think we better wait till tomorrow
No, can't wait that long
I think we better wait till tomorrow
Got to make sure it's right,
until tomorrow, goodnight, oh.
Let's see if I can talk to this girl
a little bit here...

Ow ! dolly mae, girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself leaning
from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody
pointing something from a tree ?
Click bang, what a hang,
your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say, as I fade away...

We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
It must have been right,
so forever, goodnight.

Gravity
is working against me
And Gravity
wants to bring me down
Oh Ive never known
what makes this man
With all the love
that this heart can stand
Dream of ways
to throw it all away
Whoa Gravity
is working against me
And Gravity
wants to bring me down
Oh twice as is much
aint twice as good
And cant sustain
like one half could
It's wanting more
that's gonna set me to
my knees

Guitar solo
Twice as much
aint twice as good
And cant sustain
like one half could
It's wanting more
gonna set me to my knees
Whoa Gravity
stay the hell away from me
And Gravity
has taken better man than me
Now how can that be
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Keep you all where the light is
Just keep us where the light is

Ohh where the light is
Ohh where the light is
Ohh where the light is
Ohh where the light is
Ohh where the light is
Ohh where the light
Ohh where the light is
Ohh where the light is
Ohh where the light is

Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How do I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hanging
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to keep these vultures
Out of my tree(sometimes he says trail)
Powers is made, by power being taken
I keep on running
To protect(sometimes he says control)
my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing

Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it

I'm putting you
I'm putting you out of my mind
I'm putting you
I'm putting you right out of my mind
I'm so tired of running after you
One-and-one-half steps behind

Go tell your friends
Go tell your friends what Johnny did
Yeah, go tell your friends
Go tell your friends what Johnny did
If they don't laugh right at you
They just as fucked
(sometimes he says messed)
up as you is

If I don't see you tomorrow
See you another day, I'm sure
If I don't see you tomorrow
See you another day, I'm sure
I'll run into you at your job
You be waiting for me outside the stage door

I'm putting you
I'm putting you right out of my mind
I'm putting you, baby
I'll put you right out of my mind
So tired of chasing after you
Being one-and-one-half steps behind

Sara's friend she lost her mind
Left him and made it look sexy
You fear I won't be far behind
Thinking I'll be the next to leave
I know I might be anxious
But I'm still not crazy

And I don't need another kind of green
to know I'm on the right
side I'm on the right side with you

I used to be the one saw
Crying alone to sad songs
But then we go and hit the wall
When nothings changed, nothing's wrong
It's not the perfect hand
But I dont hit on nineteen

And I don't need another
kind of green to know
I'm on the right side
I'm on the right side with you
Someday you'll drift away from me
Adopt some new philosophy
That doesn't keep the two of us in mind
Move into someone else's place
And stare in truth in other's eyes
And slowly only come to realize

That you didn't need another
kind of green to know
I'm on the right
Mine was the right side
I'm on the right side with you

I got a woman way over town
that's good to me oh yeah
Say I got a woman way over town
good to me oh yeah
She give me money when I'm in need
Yeah she's a kind of friend indeed
I got a woman way over town

She saves her lovin early in the morning
just for me oh yeah
She saves her lovin early in the morning
just for me oh yeah
She saves her lovin just for me
oh she love me so tenderly
I got a woman way over town that's
good to me oh yeah

She's there to love me both day and night
Never grumbles or fusses always treats me right
Never runnin in the streets and leavin me alone
She knows a womans
place is right there now in her home

I got a woman way over town
that's good to me oh yeah
Say I got a woman way over town
that's good to me oh yeah
She give me money when I'm in need
Yeah she's a kind of friend indeed
I got a woman way over town that digs on me

Something's Missing: John Mayer Trio

INTRO:
It aint your T.V. Though it's fun to laugh at people sometimes.
It aint your computer. Though it's nice to spend a whole night on line.
It's not your movies. I see the same dam storyline.
It's only music now.
It's only music now.

I'm not alone.
I wish I was.
cause then I'd know.
I was down because.
I couldn't find a friend around.
To love me like they do right now.
They do right now.

I'm dizzy from the shopping malls.
I searched for my joy, but I turned it off.
It doesn't help the hunger pains.
In a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate.

Something's missing and I don't know how to fix it.
Something's missing and I don't know what it is.
No I don't know what it is at all.

When autumn comes it doesn't ask.
It just walks in where it left you last.
You'll never know when it starts.
Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart.


Something's missing and I don't know how to fix it.
Something's missing and I don't know what it is.
No I don't know what it is at all.

I can't be sure that this state of mind is not of my own design.
I wish there was an over-the-counter test for my loneliness.
For my loneliness.
Like this.

Something missing and I don't know how I'm gonna fix it.
Something missing and I don't know what it is.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Something's different and I don't know what it is.
No I don't know what it is.

Friends-check
Money-check
Well slept-check
Opposite sex-check
Guitar-check
Microphone-check
Messages waiting on me when I come home.

And I don't know what it is.
No I don't know what it is at all.

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of
my world She's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all
continually change I've done
all I can To stand on the steps
with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see Maybe
it's got nothing to do with me
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into
mothers So mothers be good
to your daughters too

Oh you see that skin
It's the same she's been standing
in Since the day she saw
him walking away Now left
cleaning up the mess he made
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into
mothers So mothers be good to your
daughters too Boys you can break
Find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong and boys soldier
on But boys would be gone
without warmth of a woman's good
good good good good good heart

On behalf of every man
looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight
the weight of the world
On behalf of every man
looking out for every girl
You are the god You are the god
and the weight of the world
So fathers
be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers
who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to
your daughters too
mothers be good to
your break you down
mothers be good to
your one more time
So mothers be good to
your daughters too

Takes four days to get to like me
But two to wanna leave
But the part that really gets me
Is the moments in between
I lie to get a little
And laugh at every little thing
She's high on information
Now I'm low on self-esteem
I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
Although myself I wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself this time

I'm a hundred kinds of crazy
But I only wanna find
One sweet little angel
Who's gonna let me speak my mind
All I ever do these days
Is knock my process down
She's making her decision
Now I'm losing all of my ground

I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
Although myself I wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
I wanna try to be myself this time

Easy does it now
Keep your damn mouth shut
She thinks I hot already
Don't go and press your luck
No news is good news coming
You gotta wait to find
You know you're gonna blow it
Every single time

I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
Although myself I wonder why
I'm gonna try, try
Gonna try
Try to be myself
I wanna try to be myself this time
