Go On Ahead

Liz Phair


Tom: G

C   Am      G
You go on ahead, honey
C           Am         G
You have a good time there
C     Am         G
You make me feel funny
        C          Am       G
I'm no ordinary lover or a friend

    C              Am       G
I believe we have things to do
    C          Am           G
I believe in myself and I believe in you
    C              Am           G
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
          C          Am      G
When you sleep I am near to you

[Verse 1]
     C                Am            G                     C
You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your pockets
    Am       G
I don't recognize you
     C            Am            G               C
You say you're a ghost in our house and I realize
       Am          G
I do think I see through you

[Chorus]
     C  Am      G
So, you go on ahead, honey
C            Am        G
You have a good time there
C     Am           G
You make me feel funny
         C        Am        G
I'm no ordinary lover or a friend

[Verse 2]
        C             Am           G
It's a death in our love that has brought us here
        C             Am           G
It's a birth that has changed our lives
        C            Am             G
It's a place that I hope we'll be leaving soon
       C            Am          G
And I fear for the year in his eyes

[Bridge]
E              Am
  And it goes 'round in circles
     G                    E
One night is lovely, the next is brutal
Am              D         G              C
   And you and me are in way over our heads with this one
Am             D
It's hard to admit it
     C   Am         G
But you hold me and I can't feel you
C   Am          G
We hurt but we smile
C   Am          G
I promise I'll make it back 
           C          Am        G
when the summer has warmed me awhile

[Chorus]
C    Am     G
You go on ahead, honey
C           Am         G
You have a good time there
C     Am           G
You make me feel funny
        C         Am        G
I'm no ordinary lover or a friend

    C               Am      G
I believe we have things to do
    C          Am          G
I believe in myself and I believe in you
    C             Am            G
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
           C         Am      G
When you sleep I am near to you
