with no (C) plans and a dog for (F) company
(G) susan waved goodbye to (F) me

verse:
just follow the chords in the verse. they are the same as above. when terri goes to the chorus follow the words and chords to the chorus for they are the same as well.
in a good times van you're gunna go everyplace i'll only dream of
you'll roll back the seat to make a bigger space
to sleep and wake and make a lil' love
suz stay away from that vino
keep yourself up with a cup of cappucino
hit the road 'til it hits you back
and when it does cry 'til you laugh
bridge:
you are (E-) better than runnin' better than (G) hidin' better than decidin'
what you wanna (D) do when it's too (Bb) (F) late
verse:
fake it 'til you make it make it 'til you can
see the sunshine through the darkness in a plan
you might bite your nails to the nubs
when you're wired to the tire that the road rubs
susan stay gone in your goodtimes van
you'll make it big in your good times van
if i was younger i'd do what you done
but i've grown roots where i said there'd be none

Places in Between
terri hendrix (thm music, admin. by bug music, bmi)
lloyd maines (artmob music, admin. by bug music, bmi)
terri plays this song with a capo on the third fret. this version is not that version. we thought this might be a bit easier to transcribe.
verse:
(C) sweet sweet betty with the big blonde hair and the dark brown roots
always has her bright pink lipstick goin'
with a lil' bit showin' on her left front tooth
(G) sweet sweet betty meets me at the bar on the (F) corner of 11th and green
to talk about (C) politics and (Bb) lunatics and (F) places in between
verse:
lil' jenn has her world in a swirl cause she fell in love with a coffee girl
fell in love at the corner cafÚ with a 20 year old who swings both ways
lil' jenn meets me at the bar on the corner of 11th and green
to talk about politics and lunatics and places in between
chorus:
there are (C) places in bet(Bb)ween
(F) i been here goin' (C) on 10 years
i (C) told him all of my (Bb)dreams
he said he'd (F) buy me a flat in new york city
verse:
(C) debbie dates a millionaire she capped her teeth and dyed her hair
betty and jenn and me all swear she's never paid her tab
there is no choice if you know what I mean
the only game in town we got is this scene
someday we say we'll make a getaway in a limo and not a cab
double chorus:
verse:
sweet sweet betty can smoke and eat and talk at the same time
she's doin' hair and make-up at claire's and says if i did i'd fit in fine
there's somethin' in a town this small that i find way to tall
i fear i'll get stuck here cause I can't climb double chorus:

Wish
terri hendrix (thm music, admin. by bug music, bmi)
3 days in a wishing well it’s to early to tell if it will come up roses
i suppose if you gotta penney give me the skinny and throw it in
3 days in a wishing well hope has died
in spite of all you tried you’re in a tailspin
oh why bother at all get your hopes up just to feel them fall
on the ground on the ground on the ground on the ground
underwater I can tell the secrets at the bottom of the well
3 days times 3 times you times me
i can hear it in your spirit i can see it in your eyes
somehow you wanna know wanna know wanna know right now
if i will allow you to rise
hey are you ready to bail throw it to hell and let it be history
listen to me like i listen to you
i’ll lead you on long after you’ve gone
you’ll never know i’ll never tell
the secrets at the bottom of the well
go back to top

Joy or Sorrow
terri hendrix (thm music, admin. by bug music, bmi)
lloyd maines (art mob music, admin. by bug music, bmi)
* thanks to shane maguire and the talented caitlin mcilheran for their help in the gaelic translation in the chorus of this song.
without doubt and without fear
you need to find some comfort here
a little hope to help you cope
when what you need is nowhere near
make your mark unto these years
shape your world with salt and tears
carry on when your will has gone
be it joy or sorrow
chorus:
given time
given faith
given courage to embrace
changes as they each take place
be it joy or sorrow
grab this earth just like a wheel
you’ll eat some dirt as you get the feel
may you keep it sane and keep it real
be it joy or sorrow
chorus is sung in gaelic:
the same words are used as in the above chorus
amid the noise amid the haste
may your soul take root in open space
rise above your worries with truth and grace
be it joy or sorrow

My Own Place
terri hendrix (thm music, admin. by bug music, bmi)
lloyd maines (art mob music, admin. by bug music, bmi)
i want a vintage bathtub with a circular curtain rod
make it porcelain with brass claw feet
i want a shower that gushes a toilet that flushes
and i think i need a sink that does’nt leak
i want central air and central heat
in a good neighborhood on a good lil’ street
don’t want no crack in my foundation or my neighbors doin’ crack
make it everything I have and everything I lack
when this whole world is in my face
i wanna shut the door and hide in my own place
i want instant credit give it to me honey
how am i gunna get it if you don’t loan me the money
how am i gunna get it my american dream
if you give me the ice and you keep the cream
your concrete world has gotta cut me some slack
i gotta climb out from between the cracks
with your interest rates this high high high
how am i ever gunna own what I buy
i want kitchen tile and hardwood floors
a brand new roof and a wrap around porch
i want a wooden deck underneath some trees
on a hill with a view I wanna do what I please
your concrete world has gotta rise from the dead
i gotta wake up in my own place in my own bed
with all the doors unlocked with all the windows open
with not a not a care not a not a care
not a not a care inside of my head
oh here I am you have to have been here to understand
you have to have been here and done this to see
that i need a payday i need a windfall i need to get the key to
my own place my own place
i wanna shut the door and hide
in my own place

Throw My Love
terri hendrix (thm music, admin. by bug, bmi)
this is a real easy song to play. you can vary it up some by switching from the E minor to an A major. for exampleái (E-) throw my love against the wall i (A) watch it slideá. The C major7 chord is easy. Make your C chord like you usually do and just lift off your index finger.
i (E-) throw my love against the wall
i watch it slide as it falls
and i think to myself
what did you do that for
i walk away
i hear sweet things that you say
and then i turn around and i come back for more
i throw my (Cmaj7) love against the wall a (Asus)gain again
ohh(E-)
i throw my love against the wall
that seems to be my fate
it keeps me up and walkin' through these nights i come to hate
you can turn somethin' into nothin' at all
and you can make a big thing out of somethin' real small
i throw my love against the wall again again
i throw my love against the wall again again
i threw my love one time to many
i used to have friends now i don't have any
who will listen to me i'm feelin' all alone
it's like i got no choice i gotta hear your voice
i don't like to see what you bring out in me
i throw my love and i wait by the phone
i throw my love against the wall again again
i throw my love against the wall again again

when I'm cold as ashes
i get burnt out and tired like the fade of the skies.
