I think it sounds pretty right. Tabbed by: Andres Marcos "The Hook" by Blues Traveler from the album Four A E F#m C# It doesn't matter what I say D A D E So long as I sing with inflection A E F#m C# That makes you feel that I'll convey D A D E Some inner truth of vast reflection A E F#m C# But I've said nothing so far D A D E And I can keep it up as long as it takes A E F#m C# And it don't matter who you are D A D E If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks A E F#m C# Because the hook brings you back D A D E I ain't tellin' you no lie A E F#m C# The hook brings you back D A D E 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 confess 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 --Popper's Harmonica Solo-- 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'll 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've lied Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside To hide or slide I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died And only then shall I abide this tide Oc catchy little tunes Of hip three minute ditties I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all of youre cities To the ground 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 brings you back On that you can rely
