Foothills
Violent Femmes
We Can Do Anything (2016)


Verse 1:

G+G      C majorC   D MajorD
I know why I go to work
  G+G        C majorC   D MajorD
And I know sometimes I'm a jerk
  G+G        C majorC
But I can't tell you why
D MajorD   G+G
I'm in love.
G+G          C majorC   D MajorD
I'll take lunch with my co-workers
  G+G         C majorC   D MajorD
But after work I just go berserkers
  G+G         C majorC
Yet I can't tell them why
D MajorD   G+G
I'm in love.

(stay on G+G)


Chorus:

G+G      E minorEm
Sundays and Saturdays
C majorC       D MajorD
Sitting in the park
     G+G
Or in the dark
     E minorEm
Or at the beach
C majorC
In the foothills
D MajorD           C majorC        D MajorD
My thoughts they keep straying out of reach
C majorC        D MajorD
Say it's left or say it's right
G+G        E minorEm
Say it's day or say it's night
   C majorC        D MajorD
Still I can't tell you why
    G+G
I'm in love.

Verse 2:

G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
I wake up and then I jerk
  G+G        C majorC    D MajorD
My brain awake but it won't work
   G+G
Well enough to say why
C majorC  D MajorD G+G
I'm in love.
G+G        C majorC   D MajorD
So I get up and then I jerk
  G+G            C majorC   D MajorD
And then I get up and then I go to work
  G+G
But I can't say why
C majorC  D MajorD G+G
I'm in love.


Chorus:

G+G      E minorEm
Holidays or happy days
C majorC       D MajorD
Sitting in the park
     G+G
Or in the dark
     E minorEm
Or at the beach
C majorC
In the foothills
D MajorD           C majorC       D MajorD
My thoughts they keep staying out of reach
C majorC         D MajorD
Say it's wrong or say it's right
G+G       E minorEm
Say we may or say we might
   C majorC        D MajorD
Still I can't tell you why
    G+G
I'm in love.


Bridge:

G+G       C majorC    D MajorD
I know I will feel the hurt
  G+G       C majorC    D MajorD
And I know that it doesn't hurt
  G+G        C majorC
And I know you know that
D MajorD   G+G
I'm in love


Outro:

G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
I get up and I go to work
  G+G         C majorC     D MajorD
And I can say that my boss is a jerk
  G+G        C majorC
But I can't tell you why
D MajorD   G+G
