Cookie Jar

Jack Johnson
Tab
4.1(24)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 1

i would turn on the tv, but its so embarrassing

to see all the other people, i dont know what they mean

it was magic at first, when they spoke without sound

but now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn that thing down

turn it around

Verse 2

it wasnt me, says the boy with the gun

sure i pulled the trigger, but it needed to be done

because lifes been killing me ever since it begun

you cant blame me because im too young

Verse 3

you cant blame me, sure the killer was my son

but i didnt teach him to pull the trigger of the gun

its the killing on his tv screen

you cant blame me, its those images he seen

Verse 4

you cant blame me, says the media man

i wasnt the one who came up with the plan

i just point my camera at what the people want to see

its a two way mirror and you cant blame me

Verse 5

you cant blame me, says the singer of the song

or the maker of the movie which he based his life on

its only entertainment, as anyone can see

its smoke machines and makeup, you cant fool me

Verse 6

it was you, it was me, it was every man

weve all got the blood on our hands

we only receive what we demand

and if we want hell then hells what well have

Verse 5

i would turn on the tv, but its so embarrassing

to see all the other people, dont know what they mean

it was magic at first, but let everyone down

and now this world is gonna hurt, you better turn it around

turn it around
