So, she says it's time she goes
FG
But wanted to be sure I know
CAm
She hopes we can be friends
CAmCAmFG
I think, yeah I guess we can say I
FEm
But didn't think to ask her why
FE
She blocked her eyes and drew the curtains
Am Am/G? Cmaj7 ----> Am/G is 3X2210
with knots I've got yet to untie
[Chorus]
FAmC
What if I were Romeo in black jeans?
FAmGCmaj7
What if I was Heathcliff it's no myth
F
Maybe she's just looking for
GBb
Someone to dance with
[Verse]
See, it was just to soon to tell
And looking for some parallel
Can be an endless game
We, we said goodbye before hello
My secrets she will never know
And if I dig a hole to China
I'll catch the first junk to Soho
[Chorus]
BbDm
Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
CAm
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
BbDm
I'm between the poles and the equator
CE7
Don't send no private investigator to find me please
E
'less he speaks Chinese
AmAm/G?
And can dance like Astaire overseas
Cmaj7
Okay?
(Bridge - chords are the same as the Chorus.)
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
E|--------|
This is how I hack it out, anyway. (I think this is right... did it mostly
from memory without having my guitar here.) It's probably a little
simplified. One note: Penn plays all of his F's as barre chords in the
first position (113211) to get a richer sound, but it sounds OK if you
don't.
Someone recently requested this, so here's my version:
"No Myth" by Michael Penn transcribed by MH from the album "March"
EDITED by maguri August 2015
E|--------|E|--------|E|--------|---
Notes:
** I think one of the chords in the chorus is Dm played
at the fifth fret (557765).
*** I think MP says "on hashish" instead of "overseas"
