Song: 4 O'Clock Stop
Group: The Lowest of the Low
Album: Shakespear My Butt
Transcribed by Dave McLean
INTRO Em D A C -- 3 times
I don't know why you won't leave me alone. Keep your mind off of me,
and keep your fingers away from the phone. Because, I won't return your
kiss, and sometimes ignorance is bliss. Well, I can't handle this.
It's alright for you, it doesn't make you an asshole. It's alright for
me, my life circles around it though. And I shouldn't close your eyes, and
kiss each one a thousand times if my heart lies.
CHORUS I was standing minding my own business when you came up and
decided you'd mind it for me. With a short list of long demands and a five-
gallon pail of sinking sand that you assured me I could take or leave. But,
it never seems to work that way, it seems there's always so much more to
say, and it's always somewhere in between.
(riff played during last line)

I would like to see you smile.
My heart is dressed in black, and her heart is dressed in green.
'Cause you're beautiful in blue and every other color in between. But,
rainbows are for skies, and hesitation is for sad regretful eyes, and long
goodbyes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, rainbows are for skies, and hesitation is for
sad regretful eyes, and long goodbyes. Regretful eyes, and long goodbyes.
Regretful eyes, and long goodbyes.
