Foothills Chords

(ver. 1)
Violent Femmes
[Verse 1]

G            C     D
I know why I go to work
    G                C     D
And I know sometimes I'm a jerk
    G                C
But I can't tell you why
D      G
I'm in love.
G                    C     D
I'll take lunch with my co-workers
    G                 C     D
But after work I just go berserkers
    G                 C
Yet I can't tell them why
D      G
I'm in love.


(stay on G)


[Chorus]

G           Em
Sundays and Saturdays
C              D
Sitting in the park 
          G
Or in the dark
          Em
Or at the beach
C
In the foothills
D                     C               D
My thoughts they keep straying out of reach
C                D
Say it's left or say it's right
G               Em
Say it's day or say it's night
      C                D
Still I can't tell you why
       G
I'm in love.


[Verse 2]

G             C      D
I wake up and then I jerk
   G               C        D
My brain awake but it won't work
     G
Well enough to say why
C   D  G   
I'm in love.
G               C      D
So I get up and then I jerk
    G                        C     D
And then I get up and then I go to work
    G
But I can't say why 
C   D  G   
I'm in love.


[Chorus]

G           Em
Holidays or happy days
C              D
Sitting in the park 
          G
Or in the dark
          Em
Or at the beach
C
In the foothills
D                     C              D
My thoughts they keep staying out of reach
C                 D
Say it's wrong or say it's right
G             Em
Say we may or say we might
      C                D
Still I can't tell you why
       G
I'm in love.


[Bridge]

G             C        D
I know I will feel the hurt
    G              C       D
And I know that it doesn't hurt
    G               C
And I know you know that
D      G
I'm in love


[Outro]

G              C     D
I get up and I go to work
    G                 C         D
And I can say that my boss is a jerk
    G                C
But I can't tell you why
D      G
I'm in love.
