INTRO-

G... Cadd9... Am7... C... C.D. G...

VERSE-

G          Cadd9
      Saying I love you is
    
      Am7             C       D         G
      not the words I want to hear from you

G                Cadd9
      It's not that I want you

Am7            C      D    Em
      not to say but if you only knew

Bm7   Am7
      Ho-ow ea-sy

D              G      D/F#     Em
      It would be to show me how you feel

Bm7       Am7       D7              G7
      More than words  is all you have to do

G7              C
      To make it real

C         Cm              G
      Then you wouldn't have to say

Em7
      That you love me 'cos

Am7     D7     G
      I'd  already know

BRIDGE-

G                 D/F#   Em        Bm      C
      What would you do if my heart was torn in two

C                    G/B     Am7             D7                G
      More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real

G                   D/F#  Em7        Bm7    C
      What would you say if I took those words away?

C                     G/B      Am7
      Then you couldn't make things new

D7             G
      Just by saying I love you

(Repeat intro x2)

VERSE 2

Now that I've tried to 
      Talk to you and make you understand
      All that you have to do is
      Close your eyes and just reach out your hands
      And touch me
      Hold me close don't ever let me go
      More than words
      Is all I ever needed you to show
      Then you wouldn't have to say
      That you love me
      Cos I'd   All Ready Know

G                        D
Headed down south to the land of the pines
        Em                   C
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
G
Starin' up the road
            D         C
And pray to God I see headlights
  G                         D
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Em                      C
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
          G
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
      D             C
I can see my baby tonight
 
[Chorus]

G                     D
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
      Em                         C
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
   G
My baby plays the guitar
D              C
I pick a banjo now
        G                            D
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
        Em                       C
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
      G
But I ain't a turnin' back
   D                    C
To livin' that old life no more
 
[Chorus]

G                    D
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
           Em
I caught a trucker out of Philly
      C
Had a nice long toke
    G                           D
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
   C
To Johnson City, Tennessee
      G                   D
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
          Em
I hear my baby callin' my name
      C
And I know that she's the only one
    G
And if I die in Raleigh
   D                C
At least I will die free
 
[Chorus]
   G                   D

[Dr Dre]
Ya'll know me still the same ol' G
But I been low key
Hated on by most these s
Wit no cheese, no deals and no G's, no wheels and no keys
No boats, no snowmobiles and no ski's
Mad at me cause
I can finally afford to provide my family wit groceries
Got a crib wit a studio and it's all full of tracks
To add to the wall full of plaques
Hangin up in the office in back of my house like trophies
But ya'll think I'm gonna let my dough freeze
Ho Please
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to smoke trees
Who you think brought you the o' G's
Eazy-E's Ice Cube's and D.O.C's and Snoop D O double G's
And a group that said mutha*** the police
Gave you a tape full of dope beats
The bomb weed stroll through in you hood
And when your album sales wasn't doin too good
Who's the doc that he told you to go see
Ya'll better listen up closely
All you s that said that I turned pop
Or the Firm flop
ya'll are the reason Dre ain't been getting no sleep
So *** ya'll all of ya'll
If ya'll don't like me blow me
Ya'll are gonna keep ***in around wit me
And turn me back to the old me

[chorus x2 - Eminem]

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothin comes out when they move they lips
Just a buncha gibberish
And mutha***as act like they forgot about Dre

[Eminem]
So what do you say to somebody you hate
Or anybody tryna bring trouble your way
Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way
Just study your tape of NWA.
One day I was walkin by
Wit a walkmen on
When I caught a guy givin me an awkward eye
And strangled him off in the parkin lot wit his Karl Kani
I don't give a *** if it's dark or not
I'm harder than me tryna park a Dodge
But I'm drunk as ***
Right next to a humungous truck in a two car garage
Hoppin out wit two broken legs tryna walk it off
*** you too b**ch call the cops
I'ma kill you and them loud ass mutha***in barkin dogs
And when the cops came through
Me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house
Wit a can full of gas and a hand full of matches
And still one found out
Startin today and tomorrows the new
And I'm still loco and nuts
To choke you to death wit a Charleston chew
[Record scratch]
Slim shady hotter then a set of twin babies
In a Mercedes Benz wit the windows up
And the temp goes up to the mid 80's
Callin men ladies
Sorry Doc but I been crazy
There is no way that you can save me
It's ok go with him Hailey

[chorus x2]

[Dr Dre]
If it was up to me
You mutha***as would stop comin up to me
Wit your hands out lookin up to me
Like you want somethin free
When my last cd was out you wasn't bumpin me
But now that I got this little company
Everybody wanna come to me like it was some disease
But you won't get a crumb from me
Cause I'm from the streets of
I told em all
All them little gangstas
Who you think helped mold 'em all
Now you wanna run around and talk about guns
Like I ain't got none
What you think I sold 'em all
Cause I stay well off
Now all I get is hate mail all day sayin Dre fell off
What cause I been in the lab wit a pen and a pad
Tryna get this *** label off
I ain't havin that
This is the millenium of Aftermath
It ain't gonna be nothin after that
So give me one more platinum plaque and *** rap
You can have it back
So where's all the mad rappers at
It's like a jungle in this habitat
But all you savage cats
Knew that I was strapped wit gats
When you were cuddled wit cabbage patch

[Chorus x3]

the fingering may look strange, but its a smooth transition going from the G/E > F#/E >
since all you're doing is just sliding down the fretboard. In addition to the chords,
is a dissonent melody that is played during the intro and the chorus. Again on the 
recording a keyboard is used, but it sounds pretty cool on an electic guitar with heavy distortion-

Em          G/E                F#/E        F/E

these 2 bars just repeat over and over. You can mess around in the key of Em like I do create some wicked improvisions. rock on!

where the past comes back to life
Am                     D              
   Fight fear for the selfish pain

And it's worth it every time

Cause we both know how this ends
Am                      D

Cause we both know what we'll choose
Am                        D
   If you pull, then I'll push too deep
    Em        Bm            C
And I'll fall right back to you

I Want To Know What Love Is
Foreigner

(Video)

INTRO-  Em ' ' D | G ' ' ' | C ' | Em ' ' ' ||

VERSES-  Play Intro 2x

I've gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over.
I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I'm older.

Now, this mountain I must climb feels like the world upon my shoulders.
Through the clouds I see love shine.  It keeps me warm as life grows colder.

C/A Am             C/A           Am
In my life  there's been heartache and pain.
C/A     Am            D/A  Am
I don't know if I can face it again.
C/A    Am              D/A      Am        C      G/B  Am  G  C/D
 Can't stop now.  I've traveled so far to change this lonely life.

G                     Em   D *2* Am             Em  D     *2*
  I want to know what love is.       I want you to show me.
G                     Em   D *2* Am             Em   D     D7 *1* Em *1*
  I want to feel what love is.       I know you can show me.

I'm gonna take a little time, a little time to look around me.
I've got nowhere to hide.  It looks like love has fin'lly found me.

[Verse]
 
Cadd9           C
Am I better off dead
Am                G
Am I better off a quitter
Cadd9                   C
They say I'm better off now
Am                   G
Than I ever was with her
F                     Am             G
As they take me to my local down the street
            Em      F            Am             G
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet
Cadd9          C           Am                G
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
Cadd9             C      Am            G
But after one too many I know that I'm never
F             Am                      G
Only they can see where this is gonna end
             Em        F            Am              G
But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense
 
 
[Chorus]
C
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
G
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
Am
I'm swearing if I go there now
F
I can change your mind, turn it all around
C
And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
G
And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
Am
Dial her number and confess to her
F
I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing
 
Cadd9    C     Am     G
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Cadd9        C            Am                   G
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
Cadd9                 C                Am          G
I know if I'm face to face that she'll come to her senses
F                       Am              G
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
Em                       F
If she sees how much I'm hurting
       Am               G
She'll take me back for sure
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down

'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
Am
I'm swearing if I go there now

I can change your mind, turn it all around

And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words

She said nothing
Am                                    F
Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing

Oh I got nothing
 
Nothing

I got nothing
 
Nothing
 
Am                                    F
Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
