THE MORNING OF OUR LIVES - Jonathan Richman
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: harrytheblurfan
This is my all-time favourite Jonathan Richman song that just sums up what he's
about. It's pretty much this riff until you get to the chorus which is all barre
chords.

It hurts me to hear, to see you got no faith in yourself.
It bothers me now to watch you, you got no faith in your own self.
You listen more to your friends than to your own heart inside.
Well, you listen to them, oh but you hide.
You don't got nothin' to be afraid of.
You're not as bad as you think.
And you're always puttin' yourself down,
But i'm just gonna tell you that I like you.
Darling, you always put yourself down, but I like you.
That's all I came to say.
Then there's no need to think that other people can do things better than you can do 'em
'Cause you got the same power in you.
I got faith in you. sometimes you don't have it in yourself,
But I got faith in you.
Chorus:
D E A
And our time is right now, now we can do anything we really want to.
D E A
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.
