GIRLFRIEND IS BETTER - Talking Heads Tabbed by: andrew_long15 E-mail: Tuning: Standard The strumming is done differently in the verse and in the chorus In the verse the Dm is played on beats 1 C is played on beat 2 and Dm again on 3 and then a rest on 4. In the chorus the Dm is played on beats 1 2 & 3 and the C is played on 4. [Verse] I . . . . . Who took the money? Who took the money away? I . . . . . It’s always showtime Here at the edge of the stage O - U - T But no hard feelings What do you know? Take you a-way We’re being taken for a ride again [Chorus] I got a girlfriend that’s better than that She has the smoke in her eyes She’s moving up going right through my house She’s gonna give me surprise Better than this know that It’s right I think you can if you like I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair And nothing is better than that is it? [Verse] Down down in the basement we hear the sound of machines I I I’m driving in circles come to my senses sometime Why why why why start it over? Nothing was lost everything’s free I don’t care how impossible it seems [Chorus] Somebody calls you but you cannot hear get closer to be far away Only one look and that’s all that it takes maybe that’s all that we need All that it takes I’ll bet it’s right all it takes if it’s right I got a girlfriend that’s better than that and she goes wherever she likes there she goes [Chorus] I got a girlfriend that’s better than that now everyone’s getting involved She’s moving up going right through my heart we might not ever get caught Going right through try to stay cool going through staying cool I got a girlfriend that’s better than that and nothing is better than you wait a minute [Chorus] I got a girlfriend thats better that this but you don’t remember at all As we get older and stop making sense you won’t find her waiting long Stop making sense stop making sense stop making sense making sense I got a girlfriend she’s better than that and nothing is better than this is it? [Repeat main riff about 6 times & fade out.]

Cette chanson évoque les complexités des relations modernes et un désir d'évasion. Le narrateur parle d’une compagne qu’il considère bien meilleure que les difficultés qui l’entourent. Il semble se sentir pris dans une routine, entouré de bruits de machines et d’un sentiment de répétition, tout en affirmant que sa partenaire, avec son charme et son énergie, lui apporte une forme de joie et d’évasion. Le refrain réitère l’idée que malgré les défis, cette relation offre une surprise et une résonance émotionnelle qui lui est précieuse. Le contraste entre le monde extérieur et le bonheur qu’il trouve dans sa relation suggère une lutte entre la réalité et les envies intérieures. On sent une certaine mélancolie mêlée à l’affection, comme si le narrateur cherchait à se raccrocher à quelque chose de plus beau que ce qui l'entoure.
