Jeanie and Her Inner Rock God (alternate lyrics included)

you wouldn't know me from a hole in a dream
But I've idolized you/been a fan since I was thirteen
I made shrine for you in my room

I followed your bio to a T
Learned all of my guitar from the TV
And piano lessons were never for nothing

In college, I majored in Music Theory
Aeolian scales left me weary
All I ever wanted to do was to sing and play

Paying off my loans with these stupid office jobs
'Cause no band wants a girl with an inner rock god
Who's worth more than a dance on a keg
(who's worth more than the juice on some guy's leg)

Chorus: So it's an honor to meet you
You saved me many times before
Can I ask you now, to save me once again
For I've got everything you've ever done
I stood from the stands as I watched you run
Can I ask you now to do the same for me?

I hope you didn't mind me seeking you out
It was just a thought on a turnabout
To get advice from you on my work

See, I've got these songs and these songs have lives
And ideas I've yet to materialize
Damn, I wish you wouldn't look at me that way

Chorus

Don't misunderstand me
you can't misunderstand me
Please don't misunderstand me
It's all I wanted to do

Don't misunderstand me
you can't misunderstand me
Please don't misunderstand me
I'm not here to have sex with you

I didn't mean to offend
I'm a fan with a dream and I don't pretend
I didn't think it would ever come to this
Please don't be upset with me
It's words from a master I wanted for free
But I guess that won't be happening now

Sorry to have let you down on the fly
Surely noone's more disappointed than I
I'll be making my way out now...

Chorus
