But I go ahead and open it anyhow, yeah

and no one's been buying from my roadside stand
      C majorC                      D MajorD

Verse 2:
       G+G
I went out into the kitchen
GdimGdim                              C majorC
Where the light comes through the four-paneled window
C7C7
Clear and bright
        G+G                          GdimGdim
And it's taken me several years to realize
          C majorC                     C7C7
How much I like the way that you dot your i's
            G+G                     BB
Well I was born in Indiana thirty years ago
        C majorC                 D MajorD
I got a mean, mean hunger down below

in you
