"Goin' Through Your Purse" -- Material Issue
I'm not super sure about the chorus, but what I have here works
for me... And incidently, the lyrics in the liner notes for this
song our wrong in a few places; that's so like them. :)
Well I [G]know it's been a little while
Since the [Bm9]first time that I made you smile
And I [Em9]thought I'd take this oppo[D]rtun[C]ity
To [G]dig a little deeper inside
And [Bm9]try to find out what someone like[Em9] you
is trying to hide [D]from [C]me
Well I [C]hope that you don't get [D]angry girl
I [G]hope you [F#]don't [F]get [E]hurt
[D]By the [C]things I found while [D]goin' through your [C]purse[G]
Your Make-up, your compact, lipstick, and sht like that
And the keys that you keep on a chain
Your cigarettes and my lighter too
And a picture of your sister
God I think your one in the same
Then I cleverly put all these things back into place so you
Wouldn't think that I was a jerk
The things I found while goin' through your purse
(the solo goes something like this:)

Then I cleverly put all these things back into place so you
Wouldn't think that I was a jerk
The things I found while goin' through your purse
(Drum fill... next verse no guitar)
Well a photo of your mother too
And all the guys who date you
And your high school graduation ring
And a check stub from the place you work
Some poetry from some
Stupid jerk who's tryin' to
Steal your heart away from me
Well I hope that you don't get offended girl
Yeah and I hope you don't get hurt
By the things I found while going through
Yeah the things I found when I was goin' thru
The things I found while goin' thru your purse
(variation of solo... end on open Emin chord )
