In My Ears

Mike McClure


Tom: G

G                      C 
Sittin' here with my hands in my pockets,
D                   G
Starin' down at my shoe strings.
G                   C
Been thinkin' bout love and rockets,
          D                G
And the hapiness that the sunshine brings.
G              C
Been talkin' mostly to strangers,
 D                  G
They don't ask the same old thing.
G                C
"Where ya been? Where ya goin'?"
D        G
It all starts to ring

[Chorus]
         C
- In my ears, man. 
                          G
Open up a window, gonna shout it out.
     
I'm a terrible pretender.
D                                       G
I can't sit here and act like I give a damn.
                    C
Yeah, you're in my ears, man.
                 G
A wastin' time, might as well roll it on down the line.
D                                              G
Take care, mister, it'll work out fine in the end. -

[Verse]
G                     C
At night when you're lyin' in bed,
D                 G
Thinkin' bout a melody.
G                    C
Words are floatin' through your head,
   D                 G
I hope somehow you think of me.
G                     C 
And I know that you probably will
         D                             G
Cause I saw it once there behind your eyes.
     G           C
My words will be on your lips
   D              G
Before you even realize

[Chorus]
               C
- I'm in your ears, man.
                          G
Open up a window, gonna shout it out.

I'm a terrible pretender.
D                                       G
I can't sit here and act like I give a damn.
                    C
Cause you're in my ears, man.
                 G         
A wastin' time, might as well roll it on down the line.
D                                              G
Take care, mister, it'll work out fine in the end...two, three, four.
