Elevate Myself Lyrics

(Live)
Elevate Myself live acoustic tour tabs
By Grandaddy
Arranged by Jason Lytle
I've heard Jason play this song live and I've covered
it myself a few times, so here it is. Note that this
song is constantly strummed, I'm lazy and don't wanna
type out all of his strumming; you can listen to him
play it live and figure it out.
/ = slide
M = Mute

Lyrics:
I don't wanna work all night and day
on writing songs to make the young girls cry
or playin' little solos on a keyboard
so that kids 'll ask me how and why
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
maybe for a little I'll get to wear and find it
really hard to hate myself
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
I don't wanna stare at stacks of paper
all the while, while the world goes by
or tradin' out the weather for a clever lyric
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
maybe for a little I'll get to wear and find it
really hard to hate myself
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
get up off the shelf
and elevate myself,
and elevate myself,
elevate myself
I don't wanna be apart of all the quality
that falls apart these days,
I'd rather make an honest and watch is fly around
and then be on my way
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
maybe for a little I'll get to wear and find it
really hard to hate myself
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna - I just wanna
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna - I just wanna
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
elevate myself
