Hook Tab uke di Blues Traveler

[Verse 1]

A          E             F#m   C#m
It doesn't matter what I say
D          A             D   E
So long as I sing with inflection
A              E                 F#m   C#m
That makes you feel that I'll convey
D          A               D   E
Some inner truth of vast reflection
A             E          F#m    C#m
But I've said nothing so far
D              A        D          E
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
A            E              F#m    C#m
And it don't matter who you are
D       A                D                      E
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks


[Chorus]

            A    E          F#m     C#m
Because the hook brings you back
D       A              D     E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          F#m    C#m
The hook brings you back
D   A            D      E
On that you can rely


[Verse 2]

A        E         F#m   C#m
There is something amiss
D    A           D   E
I am being insincere
A         E          F#m         C#m
In fact I don't mean any of this
D            A                D     E
Still my confession draws you near
A               E        F#m    C#m
To confuse the issue I refer
D            A          D       E
To familiar heroes from long ago
A             E           F#m      C#m
No matter how much Peter loved her
D             A             D     E
What made the Pan refuse to grow


[Chorus]

              A   E          F#m     C#m
Was that the hook brings you back
D       A               D   E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          F#m    C#m
The hook brings you back
D  A            D      A
On that you can rely

It doesn't matter what I say
D          A             D   E
So long as I sing with inflection
A              E                 F#m   C#m
That makes you feel that I'll convey
D          A               D   E
Some inner truth of vast reflection
A             E          F#m    C#m
But I've said nothing so far
D              A        D          E
And I can keep it up as long as it takes

And it don't matter who you are
D       A                D                      E
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks


[Verse 3]

A                                                          E
Suck it in suck it in suck it in  If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
F#m
Make a desperate move or else you'll win 
C#m
And then begin to
D                                A 
See What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
D
It's so PC it's killing me
E
So desperately I'll sing to thee of

A               E                              F#m              C#m                      
love. Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the
D                        A                             
shelf.  I've tried well no in fact I've lied

D                               E
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside to


A              E                       F#m                                        
hide or slide  I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died
C#m
And only then shall I abide 
     D              
this tide of catchy little tunes
    A
Or hip three minute ditties
        D
I wanna bust all your balloons
        E
I wanna burn all of your cities

A              
To the ground I've found
E                
I will not mess around
         F#m         
Unless I play then hey
  C#m            
I will go on all day  hear what I  
D             
say I have a prayer to pray
A                         
That's really all this was
             D                                E
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because...


[Chorus] 

    A    E          F#m     C#m
The hook brings you back
D       A              D     E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          F#m    C#m
The hook brings you back
D  A            D      E
On that you can rely
