Song
From: "Paul J. Hyun"
"Best Imitation of Myself"
by Ben Folds Five (music and lyrics by Ben Folds)
from the album _Ben_Folds_Five_
This song is originally for piano, bass, and drums but I
figured it out for guitar... It was actually really easy.
I feel like a quote out of context,
Withholding the rest so I can be for you what you wanna see.
I got the gestures, sounds, got the timing down
It's uncanny, yeah, you'd think it was me. Do you think I should
Take a class to lose my southern accent?
Did I make me up or make the face that is stuck
I'll do the best imitation of myself.
The problem was your speech you gave me was fine
Like the theories about my little stage.
And I sorta was listening till I started drifting
'round the part about me acting my age. Now if it's
All the same... I've people to entertain.
I'll juggle one-handed, do some magic tricks and
Do the best imitation of myself.
Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole...
Wondering...
Who I am when I oughta know
Straighten up now, time to go fool somebody else...
Fool somebody else. Last night I was
East wind of them... a voice within...
Trying to be for you what you wanna see.
But I can't help it if you, you wanna pack on through
Don't want you hanging out with no-one but me. Now that it's
All... all the same... it comes from a sacred place.
Yeah, if my mind's somewhere else
You won't be able to tell
I do the best imitation of myself
Yes, it's uncanny you'll see
You'd really think it was me.
I do the best imitation of myself...
I do the best imitation of myself.
