 and  the  progression  for the bridge is :
 and  then  back  into the  verses.
 so it is something like this.
 (intro)
 
 
 
 Im from New Jersey.
  *
 I don't expect too much.
 If  the world ended today, I would adjust.
 
 I'm from New Jersey, no I don't talk that way
 I watched too much TV when I was young
 I'm from New Jersey. My mom's Italian.
 We've read those mafia books, we don't belong.
   There are girls from New Jersey
   Who have that great big  hair
   They're found in shopping malls
   I will Take you there
 (repeat intro)
 Im from New Jersey. It's not like Texas.
 There is no mystery, I can't pretend.
 I'm from New Jersey, it's like Ohio,
 But even more so. Imagine that.
 (bridge 2)
 I know which exit, and where I'm bound,
 Tolls on the Parkway they will slow you down.
 (back to main chords)
 New Jersey people, they will surprise you,
 Cause they're not expected to do too much.
 They will try harder, they may go further,
 They never think that they are good enough.
 I'm from New Jersey, I don't expect too much.
 If the world ended today I would adjust.
 I would  adjust
 I  would  adjust
 as for this song, i have to give credit to my friend neil who figured it
 out. then he taught it to me. this was the first song i learned how to play.
