[Alternate B/w G and D chords]
In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the hotel Flamingo wearing black market shoes
Am [Alternate B/w G&D]
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
Am
No one wants to be lonely
Am [Alternate B/w G and D]
No one wants to sing the blues
She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, whatcha doing with him
When you could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice with her elegant finger
I want to be what she's drinking
Yeah, I just want to be
CHORUS-
C G
I saw you first
D G
I'm the first one tonight
C G
I saw you first
D G
Don't that give me the right
C G
To move around in your heart
D
Everyone was looking
But I saw you first
[Alternate between G & D]
On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo
Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a bird over her shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star
CHORUS
In the bone colored dawn
Me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
The radio is playing
She left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up; there ain't no girl like that
CHORUS and fade

Verse 1-
Bm G D
Feeling my way through the darkness
Bm G D
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where it starts
They tell me I'm too young to understand,
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
Chorus-
Bm G D
So wake me up when it's all over
Bm G D
When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself, And I
I didn't know I was lost
Verse 2-
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
Chorus-
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, And I
didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, And I
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney that I put on top, and it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me who do you love?
[chorus 1]
Who do you love?
[verse 2]
Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
[chorus 2]
Who do you love?

Hit a bump and somebody screamed, you should've heard what I'd seen

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Yeah who do you love?
Ah, who do you love?

Got the good time music and the Bo Diddley beat

Yeah, who do you love?
Ooh, who do you love?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie

Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her.
Used to jump up in the Maybach and roll out.
C
Used to care, she used to share...
The love that she used to give me can't be found.
G
I lost my way, she said she'd stay.
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost!
D
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold.
Em
That was before the great depression kicked in and rocked us.
C
And that was before the hurricane, came in and stopped us.

I told you to leave, but you lied to me...
When you said that,

baby no worries I promise to get us back.

And everyday I see the news
All the problems we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
?Singing straight to cold?
I don't really like my flow, no, so

Got no reason
Got no shame
Got no family
I can blame
Just don't let me disappear

Change Is On Its Way
Verse 1: D6 Em7 Em7 D6 D6 Em7 Em7 A7
Oh yes a change is on it's way
For those who pray I dare say pray
For the dawning of the day is standing tall
A long time coming it has been
A long time running bringing in
An ounce of hope for answers to it all
Chorus: Em7 | A7 | D A | G 2X G
So I say hey, give a little thanks
Motivate your fellow man and rid yourself of hate
Don't you wait, if you need a break then break
Then get back in to living for today's a brand new day
Verse 2: D6 Em7 Em7 D6 D6 Em7 Em7 A7
Well I heard this story once of twice
But never thought to take the time
To realize the power each man holds
And now I'm claiming I believe
In individuality
For the path you choose is yours and yours alone
Chorus-
Bridge: Bm | C#dim F#7 | Bm A | G 2X A7
And who's to say,
a boy must have a mother and a father
If a single one could raise him twice as good
Because with guidance and good morals,
higher goal, forgiving more and more,
That same boy would be the best man that he could

Intro: G C G Hm Em Am D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time,
someone to call mine. My Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
How many heartaches must I stand,
before I find the love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:
Refrain:
Strophe: G G C G Bm Em Am D
Now love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting, oh 'til that say, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.
My Mama said:
Refrain:

Verse 1: Em A9 C9/G D9/F#
I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears.
You really had me going, wishing on a star.
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far,
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn.
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born /
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide.
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why
FM9/C
I say goodbye...
Chorus: C G C G
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
I don't know who I'm kidding imagining you care;
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day;
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah.
Verse 2: Em A9 C9/G D9/F#
Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain, now I can't figure out.
What is this attraction, it's only filled by pain?
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
FM9/C
Will it ever change?

But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...

[Verse 1]
G
Girl our mama's are best friends and so are we
Am
The whole town was rooting for us like the home team
Em C
Most likely to settle down, plant a few roots real deep and let ‘em grow
G
We can’t stop this real world from spinning us
Am
Your bright lights called, I don’t blame you for picking up
Em C
Your big dream bags are all packed up and ready to go
But I just need you to know
[Chorus]
G
That I love you more than a California sunset
Am
More than a beer when you ain’t 21 yet
Em C
More than a Sunday morning Lord turnin' some poor lost souls 'round, Hallelujah bound
G
Yeah, I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits the hook
Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
Em C
But baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down
G
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown
[Verse 2]
G
I ain’t the runaway kind, I can’t change that
Am
My heart’s stuck in these streets like the train tracks
Em
City sky ain’t the same black
C
Ain't that a map dot shame, man, to think that
[Chorus]
G
I love you more than a California sunset
Am
More than a beer when you ain’t 21 yet
Em C
More than a Sunday morning Lord turning some poor lost souls 'round, Hallelujah bound
G
I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits a hook
Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
Em C
But baby, this might be the last time I get to lay you down
G
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown
[Verse 3]
G
Yeah, You got a wild in your eyes that I just wasn’t born with
Am
I’m a same gas station cup of coffee in the mornin'
Em C
I need a house on the hill, girl, not in ‘em so hang onto these words
till them avenues help you forget ‘em
[Chorus]
G
Cause I love you more than a California sunset
Am
I love you more in a twenty dollar sun dress
Em
Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in, girl
C
But I hate even more that you’re leaving
G
Cause I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits a hook
Am
When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
Em C
But that ain’t you and me so I guess I’ll just see you around
G
Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown
Am
Love you more than my hometown
Em
Love you more than my hometown
C
Love you more, baby, love you more

Listen to the song for rhythm and the layout of the song. Ive tried to tab out the

Lyrics-
said a hip hop
the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it
to the bang bang boogie, say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
now what you hear is not a test--i'm rappin to the beat
and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
see i am wonder mike and i like to say hello
to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
but first i gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
let's rock, you dont stop
rock the riddle that will make your body rock
well so far you've heard my voice but i brought two friends along
and next on the mike is my man hank
come on, hank, sing that song
check it out, i'm the c-a-s-an-the-o-v-a
and the rest is f-l-y
ya see i go by the code of the doctor of the mix
and these reasons i'll tell ya why
ya see i'm six foot one and i'm tons of fun
and i dress to a T
ya see i got more clothes than muhammad ali and i dress so viciously
i got bodyguards, i got two big cars
that definitely ain't the wack
i got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac
so after school, i take a dip in the pool
which really is on the wall
i got a color tv so i can see
the knicks play basketball
hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards
more money than a sucker could ever spend
but i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker
not a dime till i made it again
everybody go, hotel motel
what you're gonna do today (say what)
cause i'm going to get a fly girl, gonna get some spanking drive off off in a fresh oj.
go hotel, motel, holiday inn
say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend
master g, my mellow
its on you so what you gonna do
well it's on n on n on on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
i said m-a-s, t-e-r, a g with a double e
i said i go by the unforgettable name
of the man they call the master gee
well, my name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
i'm goin down in history
as the baddest rapper there ever could be
now i'm feelin the highs and ya feelin the lows
the beat starts gettin into your toes
ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet
and movin your body while youre sittin in your seat
and the damn ya start doin the freak
i said damn, right outta your seat
then ya throw your hands high in the air
ya rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriere
ya rockin to the beat without a care
with the sureshot m.c.s for the affair
now, im not as tall as the rest of the gang
but i rap to the beat just the same
i dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
all im here to do ladies is hypnotize
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on
like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie

come alive yall gimme what ya got
i guess by now you can take a hunch
and find that i am the baby of the bunch
'but that's okay i still keep in stride
cause all i'm here to do is just wiggle your behind

rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang
the boogie to the boogie da beat
i said i cant wait til the end of the week
when im rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
and attempt to raise your body heat
just blow your mind so that you can't speak
and do a thing bout a rock and shuffle your feet
and let it change up to a dance called the freak
and when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
rest a little while so ya don't get weak
i know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong
well, im imp the dimp the ladies pimp
the women fight for my delight
but im the grandmaster with the three mc's
that shock the house for the young ladies
and when you come inside, into the front
you do the freak, spank, and do the bump
and when the sucker mc's try to prove a point
[ Tab from- http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-sugarhill-gang/128630.html ]
we're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
a from sun to sun and from day to day
i sit down and write a brand new rhyme
because they say that miracles never cease
i've created a devastating masterpiece
i'm gonna rock the mike till you cant resist
everybody, i say it goes like this
well i was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that i'm vicious on the mike and the turntable
this young reporter i did adore
so i rocked some vicious rhymes like i never did before
she said damn fly guy im in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
i said by the way baby what's your name
said i go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it
an i'm here an i'm there i'm big bang hank, im everywhere
just throw your hands up in the air
and party hardy like you just dont care
let's do it don't stop yall a tick a tock yall you don't stop
go hotel motel what you gonna do today (say what)
im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
you say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
i say skip, dive, what can i say
i can't fit em all inside my oj
so i just take half and bust them out
i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house
it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a hell of a crew
once a week we're on the street
just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and give you the groove
for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
and to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do
rockin ya down cause ya know we could
to the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
come alive girls get on your feet
to the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
to the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
on n on into the break of dawn
now i got a man comin on right now
he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder mike
come on wonder mike do what ya like
i say a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just ain't no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he ain't finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin

i go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and don't say a word until im through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from six to six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mc's try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but the thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a go word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the suker mc's can bite all night

G
Anytime I need to see your face, I just close my eyes,
and I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
C
and magenta fellings take up shelter in the
base of my spine, shade like a chick of cherry cola.
G
I don?t need to try to explain. I just hold on tight,
and if it happens again, I might move so slightly
C
to the arms and the lips and the face of the human
cannon-ball that I need to. I want you.
Kind of bridge-
D C
Come stand a little bit closer.Breathe in and get a bit higher
D C
You?ll never know what hit you when I get to you.....
Chorus-
Bb C G
Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but
Bb C G
ooh, I?d die to find out.
Bb C G
Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but
Bb C G5
ooh, I?d die to find out.
Verse 2-
I?m the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment.
Getting tough and getting perfect is what I live
for. But a look and then the smell of perfume, it?s like I?m
down on the floor and I don?t know what I?m in for.
Conversation, there?s a time and place in the interaction
of a lover, and I make it the time I?m talking,
using the words, using words can be likened to a
deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat.
Bridge (kind of)-
D C
Come stand a little bit closer.Breathe in and get a bit higher
D C
You?ll never know what hit you when I get to you.....
Chorus-
Bb C G
Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but

ooh, I?d die to find out.

Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but

Ooh ah,,,, ooh ah.
Verse 1 (You know it)

Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but
Bb C G
ooh, I?d die to find out.
Bb C G
Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but
Bb C G
ooh, I?d die to find out. So can?t we find out?
Really weird thing-
Bb5 C5 G5 Bb5 C5 G5
Softly as the animals fall so far ahead.
Bb5 C5 G5 Bb5 C5 G5
Softly as the animals fall so far ahead.
Chorus-
Bb C G
Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but

ooh, I?d die to find out.
Bb C G
Ooh, I want you. I don?t know if I need you, but

D G
I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
D G
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted
Bm G
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine
D G
Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
D G
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?
Bm G
Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
Bm G
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
G
?Cause I?m not fine at all
D A
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
Bm G
I remember the make-up running down your face
D A
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Bm G
Like every single wish we ever made
D A
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
Bm G
And forget about the stupid little things
D A
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
Bm G
And the memories I never can escape
G
'Cause I'm not fine at all
D G
D G
The pictures that you sent me they?re still living in my phone
D G
I admit I like to see them, I admit I feel alone
Bm G
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around
D G
It hurts to know you?re happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
D G
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

And the memories I never can escape
A Bm
If today I woke up with you right beside me
G D
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
A Bm
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
G
And you'd never slip away
G
And you'd never hear me say
D A
I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

When the morning comes
F/A
When we see what we've become
A#
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we've begun
F/A
Every argument, every word we can't take back
'Cause with the all that has happened

I think that we both know the way that the story ends

And the image of you being with someone else

Verse 1: D Bm7 G D
Oh her eyes, her eyes,
make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay, I say
[Chorus]
When I see your face,
there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile,
the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are, (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Her lips, her lips,
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh,
she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Found my black queen Cleopatra

No more she lives, no more serpent in her room
No more, it has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra

You make me who I wanna be

Never let it ruffle up your feathers, angel

[Verse 2]
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
but still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
but it's in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot not, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
at you baaaabeh,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chaaase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
at you baaaabeh,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe?
Singer Songwriter
You're not the first boy to offer the world
I think you're cool but I'm not that kind of girl
If I wanted to sleep my way to the top
I'd a done been there
I'm not just another girl singer songwriter
Playing in a cafe waiting for her big break, no
Any other girl would be lucky you found her
Fall over in love, but I cannot because of who I am
I'm a good girl, at least I'm trying to be
Until some dumb fool brings out the in me
Cause if I wanted to sleep my way to the top
Believe me I'd a done been there
Chorus
You think as a girl I'm used to getting everything that I want
But I worked very hard for every single thing that I'd got
I studied and that's why I'm smart
I pour my love into my art
And no one can take that part of who I am

Verse & Chorus- |Em |G |D |D |
Prechorus- |A |A |C |D |
Here are the words
It's getting so lonely inside this bed
Don't know if I should lick my wounds
Or say woe is me instead
And there's an aching inside my head
It's telling me I'm better off alone
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some
They say that girl ya know she act too tough tough tough
Well it's 'til I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl ya know she act so rough rough rough
Well it's 'til I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say follow me follow me follow me down down down down
'Til you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is what it seems
I looked above the other day
Cuz I think I'm good and ready for a change
I live my life by the moon
If it's high play it low
If it's harvest go slow
And if it's full, then go
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some
Chorus
I'm searching for things that I just cannot see
Why don't you don't you don't you come and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, want to believe
That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve
I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life
Where is the love that I'm looking to find
It's all in me, can't you see
I can see, can't you see
I can see, why can't you see
It's all in me!
Chorus
Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need
Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need

I wanna live a thousand lives with you
B C#
I wanna be the one your dying to
B
Love...but you don't want to
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
[Chorus]
B
She went down in an airplane
F#
Fried getting suntan
C#
Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand
B F# C#
Help me, help me I'm no good at goodbyes
B
She met a shark underwater
F#
Fell and no one caught her
C#
I returned everything I ever bought her
B F# C#
Help me, help me I'm all out of lies
B
She was caught in a mudslide
F#
Eaten by a lion
C#
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
B F# C#
Help me, help me I'm no good at goodbyes
B
She dried up in the desert
F#
drowned in a hot tub
C#
Danced to death at an east side nightclub
B F# C#
Help me, help me I'm all out of lies
D#m
And ways to say you died

[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]
G D Em7 Cadd9
Everytime our eyes meet, this feeling inside me Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me, I can feel how much you love me And it just blows me away

F#m C#m D D E F#m C#m D D E E C#m Cm Bm
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Go on and close the curtains
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight (oh)
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish - I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
And let's delay our misery
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away (ohh it's true)
It ain't easy to say good-bye
Darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Oh that's right
Save tonight
Save tonight
[fade out]
