                                   Hook

                                                            Blues Traveler


A2 E2 F#2 add7 C# D2 A2 D2 E2 (x2)
   A2           E2            F#2 add7 C#
     It doesn't matter what I say
    D2          A2            D2  E2
     So long as I sing with inflection
     That makes you feel I'll convey
     Some inner truth or vast reflection

     But I've said nothing so far
     And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
     And it don't matter who you are
     If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

                             A2   E2         F#2 add7 C#
                 Because the hook brings you back
                D2       A2             D2  E2
                 I ain't tellin' you no lie
                 The hook brings you back
                 On that you can rely

     There is something amiss
     I am being insincere
     In fact I don't mean any of this
     Still my confession draws you near

     To confuse the issue I refer
     To familiar heroes from long ago
     No matter how much Peter loved her
     What made the Pan refuse to grow

                 Was that the hook brings you back
                 I ain't tellin' you no lie
                 The hook brings you back
                 On that you can rely
                      *Solo*  Verse (x4)

     Suck it in suck it in suck it in if you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
       make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to see
     What you're doing to me - this MTV is not for free
       it's so PC it's killing me - so desperately I sing to thee
     Of love - sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
       and I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
     I've tried, well no in fact I lied - could be financial suicide
       but I've got too much pride inside to hide

     Or slide, I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride
       until I've died and only then shall I abide
     By this tide of catchy little tunes - of hip three minute ditties
       I wanna bust all your balloons
         I wanna burn of all your cities to the ground
     But I've found I will not mess around unless I play, then hey
       I will go on all day, hear what I say I have a prayer to pray
     That's really all this was and when I'm feeling stuck
       and need a buck - I don't rely on luck because

                 The hook brings you back
                 I ain't tellin' you no lie
                 The hook
                 On that you can rely...
