Nina I can be your boyfriend
D D13th Em Em7
so you can stay with your girlfriend
D D13th Em
Your father is a sweet old man
Em7
but it is hard for him to understand
F#m F#m7 Em Em7
that you wanna love a woman
Nina I can be your boyfriend
if it puts an end to all this nonsens
First time I see you in Berlin
And you don't tell me anyting
Until outside your dad's apartment
D D13th
Oh God, Jesus Christ
Em Em7
I try to focus on your eyes
D D13th
we're having dinner with your family now
Em Em7
keep a steady look at your left eyebrow
D D13th
If it's raised, it means yes,
Em Em7
If it's not it means take a guess
D D13th
Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs
Em Em7
I'm doing my best, can you pass the eggs
Your father puts on my record
he says: so tell me how you met her
I get embarrassed and change the subject
and put my hand on some metal object
He laughs and says that's a lie detector
He takes out the booklet and starts reading
So I heard you're moving out next season
I say: Yeah, New York is nice that time of year
Almost as green as it is here
He says: I thought you were moving to Sweden?
Oh God, what have I done?
I came to Berlin to have some fun
Then it turned into Buffalo '66
on your fathers wall a big crucifix
guess thats why he wont let u go
his catholic heart is big and slow
you know I'll do anything for love
but Nina what were you thinking of?
But Nina I can be your boyfriend
So you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is mailing me all the time
He says he just wants to say hi
I send back "out of office, auto-replies"
Nina I just want to check in
'cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Yours truly, Jens Lekman
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
Intro
Same pattern throughout:
E--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X-|
B--5--7--7--7--5--7--9--7-|
G--7--5--5--9--7--9--11-9-|
D--6--7--6--7--6--7--9--7-|
A--7--7--7--8--7--8--10-8-|
E--X--X--X--X--X--X--X--X-|
Same four chords all the way through.
Strumming pattern isn't too difficult either.
Even for the 'Oh God, Jesus Christ' section, the chords are the same just in a
more broken pattern.
Nina I can be your boyfriend
So you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is a sweet old man
But it is hard for him to understand
That you wanna love a woman
Nina I can be your boyfriend
If it puts an end to all this nonsense
First time I see you in Berlin
And you don't tell me anything
Until outside your dad's apartment
Ooh, ooh (ooh), bah bah bah
Oh God, Jesus Christ
I try to focus on your eyes
We're having dinner with your family now
Keep a steady look at your left eyebrow
If it's raised, it means yes
If it's not it means take a guess
Hey, you, stop kicking my legs
I'm doing my best
Can you pass the figs
Your father puts on my record
He says, "So tell me how you met her"
Uh, I get a little nervous and change the subject
And put my hand on some metal object
He jokes and tells me it's a lie detector
He takes out the booklet and starts reading
So I heard you're moving out next season
I say, "Yeah, New York is nice that time of year"
Almost as green as it is here
He says, "I thought you were moving to Sweden?" Oh
Oh God, what have I done?
I came to Berlin to have some fun
The clock on the wall strikes four, five, six
My eyes caught by a big crucifix
Guess that's why he won't let you go
His Catholic heart is big and slow
You know I'll do anything for love
But Nina what were you thinking of?
But Nina I can be your boyfriend
So you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father's mailing me all the time
He says he just wants to say hi
I send back "Out of office" auto-replies
Nina I just want to check in
'Cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Yours truly, Jens Lekman
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way (ooh)
Don't let anyone stand in your way (ooh)
