[Verse 1]
Don't even think about reachin' me
I won't be home
Don't even think about stoppin' by
Don't think of me at all

[Hook 1]
I did a what I had to do
If there was a reason, it was you

[Verse 2]
Ah,I don't even think about getting inside
Voices in my head
Ooh, voices
I got scratches all over my arms
One for each day since I fell apart

[Hook 1]
I did a what I had to do
If there was a reason, it was you

[Hook 2]
A Footsteps in the hall
It was you, you
Oh, pictures on my chest
It was you
It was you

[Bridge]
I did a what I had to do
Oh, and if a there was a reason
Oh, there wasn't no reason, no
And if there's something you'd like to do
Oh, just let me continue to blame you

[Hook 2]
A Footsteps in the hall
It was you, you
Oh, pictures on my chest
It was you, you

Pearl Jam

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
