No Name #1 Lyrics

Elliott Smith - No Name #1
from Roman Candle, 1994
Of course, Elliott tends to have two guitars going at once: one playing rhythm chords
another playing a simple riff on the B string over it. However, the riff is playable in
chords, so this is both combined. The strumming rhythm is tough to convey, so listen to the song.
CHORDS USED:
VERSE:
The chords go C Am F Dm, and the riff (on the B string) goes like this:
Verse Rhythm:
at a party he was waiting looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
like he could be underwater the mighty mother with her hundred arms
swept all aside i hate to walk behind
other people's ambition i saw you waiting
Chorus Rhythm:
saint like with your warning
leave alone you don't belong here
he got nervous
started whistling
every thought a ricochet
did you notice?
well i wondered
what's the worst thing i could say?
and i froze up and sighed
you remind me of someones daughter
i forgot her
i forgot her name ashamed
go home and live with your pain
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
and when i go
don't you follow
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
slip out quiet
nobody's looking
leave alone
you don't belong here
