Dar Williams - Are You Out There


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: C majorC


Perhaps I am a miscreation
                  A minorAm
No one knows the truth, there is no future here
  C majorC
And you're the DJ speaks to my insomnia
          A minorAm
And laughs at all I have to fear

Laughs at all I have to fear

  DmDm       G+G
You always play the madmen poets
DmDm      G+G
Vinyl vision, grungy bands
  DmDm        G+G
You never know who's still awake
  DmDm       G+G
You never know who understands and


CHORUS:
A minorAm
Are you out there, can you hear this?
FF      G+G
Jimmy Olson, Johnny Memphis
A minorAm                FF           G+G
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime
  A minorAm
And though the static walls surround me
FF         G+G
You were out there and you found me
A minorAm                FF           G+G
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime


   C majorC
Last night we drank in parking lots
                A minorAm
And why do we drink? I guess we do it, 'cause
  C majorC
And when I turned your station on
                  A minorAm
You sounded more familiar than that party was

You more familiar than that party

     DmDm         G+G
It's the first time I stayed up all night
   DmDm        G+G
It's getting light, I hear the birds
  DmDm       G+G
I'm driving home on empty streets
 DmDm       G+G
I think I put my shirt on backwards


CHORUS:
A minorAm
Are you out there, can you hear this?
FF      G+G
Jimmy Olson, Johnny Memphis
A minorAm                FF           G+G
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime
  A minorAm
And though the static walls surround me
FF         G+G
You were out there and you found me
A minorAm                FF           G+G
I was out here, listening all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-e-ime


BRIDGE:
  A minorAm
And what's the future, who will choose it?
FF      G+G
Politics of love and music
A minorAm
Underdogs who turn the tables
FF      G+G
Indie versus major labels
A minorAm
There's so much to see through
     FF        G+G
Like our parents do more drugs than we do
A minorAm
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
FF      G+G
Oh, oh, oh


C majorC
Corporate parents, corporate town
             A minorAm
I know every TV set that has them lit
   C majorC
They preach that I should save the world
                  A minorAm
They pray that I won't do a better job of it

Pray that I won't do a better job


   DmDm         G+G
So, tonight I turned your station on
DmDm       G+G
Just so I'd be understood
 DmDm      G+G
Instead another voice said I was
DmDm        G+G
Just too late and just no good_____
