Am    C    F    G

[Verse 1]
Am                 C                 F              G
The cigarettes and carrot juice. Get yourself a new tattoo
Am        C                  F          G
For those sleeveless days of June
Am                     C              F                     G
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zinho's steps with a book I haven't started yet
Am               C               F        G
Watching all the girls walk by

[Chorus]
G                F
Could I take you out?
F                      Dm    C           G
I'd be yours without a doubt on that big dipper
G                                 F
If the sound of this it frightens you
F                     Dm   C                G
We could play it real cool and act somewhat indifferent

[Verse 2]
Am            C                         F                             G
And hey June, why'd you have to come... Why'd you have to come around so soon?
Am             C            F            G
I wasn't ready for all this nature
Am           C                 F                     G
The terrible green green grass and violent blooms of flowered dresses
Am             C                    F        G
And afternoons that make me sleepy

[Chorus 2]
G                 F
But we could wait a while
 F                      Dm        C        G
'Fore we push that dull turnstile into the passage
G                   F
Thousands they have tread
F                    Dm   C               G
And others sometimes fled before the turn came

G                 F
We could wait our lives
F               Dm       C          G
Before a chance arrives, before the passage
G                        F
From the top you can see Monterey
F                  Dm   C                           G
Or think about San Jose though I know it's not that pleasant

[Verse 3]
Am          C        F              G
And hey Jim Kerouac, brother of the famous Jack
Am                C      F               G
Or so he likes to say... Lucky bastard
Am                  C                  F           G
He's sitting on the Cafe Zinho's steps with a girl I'm not over yet
Am               C             F        G
Watching all the world go by

[Chorus 3]
G                   F
Boy, you're looking bad
F                        Dm   C            G
Did I make you feel that sad? I'm honestly flattered
G                   F
But if she asked me out
F                     Dm    C           G
I'd be hers without a doubt on that big dipper

[Verse 4]
Am                 C                 F              G
The cigarettes and carrot juice. Get yourself a new tattoo
Am        C                  F          G
For those sleeveless days of June
Am                 C                   F                 G
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zinho's steps, I haven't got the courage yet
Am                G
I haven't got the courage yet...
