Back In Your Life

"Back In Your Life" By Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers

From the Album by the same name

 

Well take me way up north to meet your Mom and Dad,

So they'll see that Jonathan ain't quite so bad.

(no crd) Bb C

I wanna be back in your life

<no crd> Bb F

I wanna be back in you life

Baby baby baby (repeat 2 times)

Take me to the fields you used to roam

So your pal Jonathan can call them home

When...

Well, Take me to your favorite covered bridge,

And the road that leads high o'er the ridge.

I wanna...

C (no crd)

Gimme a break! Bang Bang!

(no crd)

Gimme a break! Bang Bang!

(no crd)

Gimme a...

Well, show me the saddle and show me the stirrup,

And then we'll help your daddy when he goes out for maple syrup

I wanna...

I will wait a long time, if that's what it takes,

But someday I wanna help your mamma when she brings out the pancakes

I wanna...

And time's-a-wastin'

Cuz what once was a puppy is now a dog

And what once was a piglet is now a hog

I wanna be back in your life

I wanna be back in your life. (end on an F)
