Some more No Depression/alt-country/insurgent country/cowpunk/rural
contempo stuff. Whiskeytown is supposed to be "the next big thing," and I
think this song exemplifies what they're about. It's alright, but a little
too cute. Plus the title is longest I've ever seen that doesn't include
parentheses; shoulda been titled "Excuse Me (While I Break My Own Heart
Tonight)." They'll never play the Grand Ol' Opry now!
"Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight"
1997 Barland Music (BMI) / Bug Music
By David Ryan Adams
>From Whiskeytown's album STRANGER'S ALMANAC (Outpost Records/Mood Food Records)
INTRO: [G G Em7 Em7 G G Em7 Em7]
VERSE ONE: Well, ex[G]cuse me if I break my own [Em7]heart
It's [G]mine from the finish I guess
[G] It's mine from the [Em7]start
Situ[C]ation just don't seem so goddamned [G]smart
Situ[C]ation is tearing me a[D]part
interrupted CHORUS:
So you'll have to ex[G]cuse me if I break my own [Em7]heart
[G G Em7 Em7]
VERSE TWO: Well, excuse me if I break my own heart tonight
Some things are born too strong
Have to learn how to fight
Situation keeps me drinking every goddamned day and night
Situation don't seem so right
CHORUS: So ex[G]cuse me if I break my own heart to[Em7]night
Well, ex[G]cuse me if I break my own heart to[Em7]night
After all it's [C]mine, after all it's [G]mine
After all it's [C]mine
Can I [D]have it back sometime?
VERSE THREE: So if the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent
Your eyes drift easy in the mighty
If the rain falls down on your Mississippi talent
Your eye's drifting right(?)
You run the road, but your diary entry reads blank
Is this some sort of joke to you?
Is this some sort of joke to you?
repeat CHORUS [resolve to G]
