00:00Okay, show the people. This is what I'm trying to read off of here. This is a half pencil.
00:03Ooh, I love it.
00:05I can barely see the chords on here or the words.
00:11Love can play such tricks with your mind. Even after all this time.
00:19Sometimes Dan gets the urge to just play guitar. And sometimes he plays guitar and he plays some of his
00:25old songs.
00:28Yippee! Enjoy! Songs before Sarah was ever born.
00:33This is from, I know this is from like 1986. So Sarah was negative age or something like that.
00:41I know this is about too, I can't even tell that. This is about a girl that I, we wrote
00:47letters back and forth when I was in high school.
00:50And met the woman who I ended up marrying. And then this girl and I kind of drifted apart because
00:56I met this other girl.
00:58And this was the day before the internet or anything like that, you know.
01:00And so then we didn't talk for a long time.
01:05And so, anyway, and I felt bad about that because she wrote me a letter and like, one of the
01:12letters I wrote her back was like,
01:13Hey, by the way, I met someone and da-da-da, you know, all this kind of stuff.
01:16It was a long distance thing. She lived in Nebraska and I lived in Missouri.
01:19And again, you know, we were like 14, 15.
01:22So, anyway, after I met this other person and then I ended up getting married.
01:26And so I wrote this pretty soon after I got married.
01:30So, I was like 20 years old and I wrote this.
01:34I never wanted to make you cry
01:42All I ever wanted was to see you smile
01:50It's been some time since we've parted ways
02:01Couldn't help it
02:02I thought of you today
02:09Love can play such tricks with your mind
02:12Even after all this time
02:16I thought by now I'd forget about you
02:23I don't know who I was trying to fool
02:30Your eyes, they won't leave me alone
02:37I dream of hearing your voice on the telephone
02:45It's been two years
02:47Time won't raise
02:55Tears in your eyes
03:01Memories of you wiping tears from your face
03:03Every time I walk down the street
03:07Pray somehow that feels too
03:11Still, oh god damn it
03:13You got it baby, you're doing great
03:16You're awesome
03:20I know the chance I'll never let you
03:23I know the chance I'll never let you go
03:32Love can play such tricks with your mind
03:37Even after all this time
03:41But by now I'd forget about you
03:47I don't know who I was trying to fool
03:57The words went up here and I'd forgotten
03:59I couldn't read them
04:00And then the chords stopped being written on here
04:02And I had to look up there
04:03Anyway
04:05Okay, this is one I wrote in like
04:0883, 84
04:09So like right around senior year
04:12How old was I?
04:13We were like negative 10
04:15So this is, I was probably like 16, 17
04:18You got a little buddy
04:26When you think of the reasons
04:28I could have used
04:30To get out of this love affair
04:35Let me see
04:36When you think of the reasons
04:39That I could have used
04:42To get out of this love affair
04:46You got to remember
04:48On the 10 o'clock news
04:50They said that all they love is fair
04:56All love is fair
04:59But all love is fair
05:03And the children nearly stare
05:07Because they must go to bed
05:09I could lay down their head
05:10For the 10 o'clock news
05:14I can't, I can't see these chords at all
05:16Mama's on fire
05:19Wait, mama's on fire
05:23Daddy lit her up
05:26Son called mayor
05:29Say time is up
05:32Say time is up
05:34Say time is up
05:34But you know he's been re-elected
05:38For to get his share
05:42You whisper to my brother
05:44All love is fair
05:51How love is fair
05:52And the children merely stare
05:53Because they must go to bed
05:55Got to lay down their heads
05:56Before the 10 o'clock news
05:58Daddy, can we watch?
05:59It's just like on TV
06:00Throw on the floor
06:01Throw something at me
06:02Why must they see
06:04Someone's violence in their living room
06:05They'll snort cocaine for breakfast
06:07And shoot the father at noon
06:08I wish somehow we could tell them
06:10Let them know that we care
06:12But what they read in the paper
06:13Says that all the love is fair
06:14Oh shit
06:17Let me try this one
06:18Okay
06:27I don't think you understand
06:30What I came here for
06:35I stand on the rocks
06:38And watch the waves
06:39Grass to the shore
06:40Can't do that
06:41And this at the same time
06:46I have too many songs
06:47That don't have any chords
06:49Listed with them
06:50You know
07:06Go baby, go
07:07Get your sexy heart
07:13Okay
07:15Blood wires and flowers
07:18Stroll on the floor
07:24Of your apartment
07:26With a seat to your door
07:32Newspapers late
07:34And days that have hands
07:40They go by so fast
07:48On instant letters
07:50And unpaved bills
07:56Leftover children
07:58Left over pills
08:00Left over pills
08:04This is the life
08:09The life you leave
08:13There's nothing left to you
08:16There's nothing left to you
08:18That you really need
08:22This is your time
08:26To make a stand
08:28To make a stand
08:30This isn't life
08:32It's not the one you blame
08:39You say you see that you miss me
08:42Well hey that's nice
08:47But you're the one who left
08:49So pay your price
08:55Broken champagne glasses
08:58In your fireflies
08:59I know you're alive
09:05Just look at your face
09:36Unanswered questions
09:37What do you call
09:42This is your chance
09:46To get what you like
09:48Well I'm sorry baby
09:52I ain't coming back
09:58I ain't coming back
10:00I ain't coming back
10:04I ain't coming back
10:15Yay I ain't coming back
10:17You came to me
10:18Like 30 years later
10:21That was called
10:22This is the life
10:23This is life
10:25With kitty cats
10:27That was the final song
10:30On an album I wrote
10:32Called slang phrases
10:35With me
10:36It was like
10:42We could stay all night
10:44If you'd agree
10:47It wouldn't be so far
10:51It's just a hard time
10:54I don't want you
10:56Nobody
10:57Nobody
11:00Goes on like that
11:01And then it goes into a song
11:02Anyway
11:03Sometimes I feel as though
11:04I'm totally lost to the world
11:05Sometimes I wonder
11:06Hey is that a boy or a girl
11:07Sometimes I get to thinking
11:09And someone says
11:09That's what you get for thinking
11:11But sometimes I think
11:12Anyway
11:13And then the next song
11:15Is Friendly Warriors
11:16I don't like it
11:17We're Friendly Warriors
11:18Oh well this is like
11:20Sometimes I feel
11:21It's though I'm totally lost to the world
11:27Sometimes I wonder
11:29Hey is that a boy or a girl
11:34Sometimes I get to thinking
11:36And someone says
11:37That's what you get for thinking
11:38But sometimes I think
11:40Anyway
11:45Sometimes I see faces
11:47And I don't even recognize
11:49Goes on like that
11:51Thank you for watching
11:52My sexy man play guitar
11:56Don't get any ideas
11:57He's mine
12:00Bye
