She just wants to be

Beautiful she goes

Unnoticed, she knows

No limits she craves

Attention, she praises
An image

She prays to be
F
Sculpted by the sculptor
[VERSE]
F
Oh, she don't see
Am
The light that's shining
F
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Am
Maybe we have made her blind
G F
So she tries to cover up her pain
Am
And cut her woes away
F
'Cause covergirls don't cry
After their face is made
[CHORUS]
F
But there's a hope

That's waiting for you in the dark

You should know you're beautiful

Just the way you are

She has dreams to be
F
An envy, so she's
Starving you know,
Am G F
covergirls eat nothing she says
Am
Beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything
F
What's a little bit of hunger?
I could go a little while longer,
F
She fades away
G F
She don't see her perfect,
Am
She don't understand she's worth it
F
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface
Am
Oh Oh
G
Oh oh
F
So to all the girls that's hurting
Am
Let me be your mirror,
F
Help you see a little bit clearer
The light that shines within
[CHORUS]
F
There's a hope
Am
That's waiting for you in the dark

You should know you're beautiful

I was tired of my lady,
Dm C G Dm7 C
we'd been together too long
G F Am G F
like a worn out recording
Dm C Em7 F C
of a favorite song.
Gm F Am G F
So while she lay there sleepin'
Dm C G Dm7 C
I read the paper in bed
Gm F Am G F
and in the personal columns
Dm C Em7 F C
there was this letter I read.
F Am G F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C Em7 F C
if you have half a brain
Gm F Am G F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes of a cape
Gm F Am G F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C Em7 F C
write to me and escape.
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
I didn't think about my lady,
Dm C G Dm7 C
I know that sounds kind of mean
Gm F Am G F
But me and my old lady
Dm C Em7 F C
had fallen into the same old dull routine
Gm F Am G F
So I wrote to the paper,
Dm C G Dm7 C
took out a personal ad
Gm F Am G F
And though I'm nobody's poet,
Dm C Em7 F C
I thought it wasn't half bad.
F Am G F
Yes, I like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and getting caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
I'm not much into health food,
Dm C Em7 F C
I am into champagne
Gm F Am G F
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
Dm C G Dm7 C
and cut through all this red tape
Gm F Am G F
At a bar called O'Malley's
Dm C Em7 F C
where we'll plan our escape.
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
So I waited with high hopes
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she walked in the place
Gm F Am G F
I knew her smile in an instant,
Dm C Em7 F C
I knew the curve of her face
Gm F Am G F
It was my own lovely lady
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she said, Aw, it's you.
Gm F Am G F
Then we laughed for a moment
Dm C Em7 F C
and I said, I never knew.
F Am G F
That you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
And the feel of the ocean
Dm C Em7 F C
and the taste of champagne
Gm F Am G F
If you like making love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes on the cape
Gm F Am G F
You're the lady I've looked for,

Hey, tell me if I'm crazy
But when you come around, round
It's kind of amazing
My head goes through clouds
Above the rain and I'm never coming down down
Now that you saved me, baby
That stupid party talked outside
Walked to your place stayed up 'til 5
You'd never think a random night could change your life
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
Sing, na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Hey, it's fire and magic
But when you go away-way
It's like the Titanic
I'm split up into pieces in the Atlantic
So baby, won't you stay stay 'cause I gotta have it, have it
That stupid party talked outside
Walked to your place stayed up 'til 5
You'd never think a random night could change your life!
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
We all need a light in the dark
Come and spend the night in my heart
We all need a light in the dark
Come and spend the night!! Hey!
Hey, tell me if I'm crazy
But when you come around round
It's kind of amazing
My head goes through clouds,
Above the rain and I'm never coming down down
Now that you saved me, baby
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
Na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Sing! Na na na na na (ooh ooh)

Intro
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
(slide on D string)
I love the way you lie
Verse
Em
I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
C
And right now, there's a steel knife in my windpipe
G
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
Dadd11
As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
Em
High off of love, drunk from my hate,
C
it's like I'm huffin' paint and I love it, the more I suffer, I suffocate
G
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates
Dadd11
Me, she fuckin' hates me, and I love it, Wait!
Em
Where you going? I'm leaving you. No you ain't,
C G
Come back. We're running right back, here we go again, it's so insane
Cuz when it's going good, it's going great
Dadd11
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
Em
But when and it's bad, it's awful, I feel so ashamed,
C
I snap Who's that dude?, I don't even know his name
G
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I guess I don't know my own strength
Chorus
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I love the way you lie
Verse 2
Em
You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe when you with 'em?
C
You meet, and neither one of you even know it hit 'em
G
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah them chills used to get 'em
Dadd11
Now you gettin' fuckin' sick of lookin' at 'em
Em
You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothin' to hurt 'em
C
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit 'em
G
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
Dadd11
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments when you're in 'em
Em
It's the face that's the culprit, controls you both
C
So they say, you'd best to go your separate ways
G
Guess that they don't know ya cuz today, that was yesterday,
Dadd11
Yesterday is over and it's a different day,
Em
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her,
C
next time you'd show restraint, you don't get another chance
G
Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Dadd11
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Chorus
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I love the way you lie
Verse 3
Em
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
C
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
G
But your temper's just as bad as mine is; you're the same as me
Dadd11
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Em
Baby please come back, it wasn't you. Baby it was me,
C
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
G
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Dadd11
All I know is I love you too much, to walk away though
Em
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
C
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
G
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Dadd11
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Em
Next time? There won't be no next time
C
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
G
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back. I know I'm a liar,
Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again,
Ima tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
Just gonna
Chorus
Em C
Stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I love the way you lie

VIVA U2!! ;)
Yeah, lover I'm off the streets
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire
She's the candle
Burning in my room
I'm like the needle
Needle and spoon
Over the counter
With a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, Desire
(Burning, Burning)
She's the dollars
She's my protection
She's the promise
In the year of election
Sister, I can't let you go
I'm like a preacher
Stealing hearts at a traveling show
For the love or money, money...?
Desire...

[Verse 1]
Am F
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Am F
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
Am F
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Am F
Cries out My God they killed them all!
C F
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For something that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell but one time
Am F C G
He could have been the champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 2]
Am F
Three bodies lyin’ there does Patty see
Am F
And another man named Bello, movin’ around mysteriously
Am F
I didn’t do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
Am F
I was only robbin’ the register, I hope you understand
C F
I saw them leavin’, he says, and he stops
G C F
One of us had better call up the cops
Dm C
And so Patty calls the cops
Dm C Em
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin’
Am F C G
In the hot New Jersey night
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 3]
Am F
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Am F
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around
Am F
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Am F
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
C F
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
G C F
Just like the time before and the time before that
Dm C
In Paterson that’s just the way things go
Dm C Em
If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street
Am F C G
’Less you wanna draw the heat
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 4]
Am F
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Am F
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin’ around
Am F
He said, I saw two men runnin’ out, they looked like middleweights
Am F
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates
C F
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
G C F
Cop said, Wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead
Dm C
So they took him to the infirmary
Dm C Em
And though this man could hardly see
Am F C G
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 5]
Am F
Four in the mornin’ and they haul Rubin in
Am F
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
Am F
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin’ eye
Am F
Says, Wha’d you bring him in here for? He ain’t the guy!
C F
Yes, here’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For somethin’ that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 6]
Am F
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Am F
Rubin’s in South America, fightin’ for his name
Am F
While Arthur Dexter Bradley’s still in the robbery game
Am F
And the cops are puttin’ the screws to him, lookin’ for somebody to blame
C F
Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
G C F
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
Dm C
You think you’d like to play ball with the law?
Dm C Em
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin’ that night?
Am F C G
Don’t forget that you are white
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 7]
Am F
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, I’m really not sure
Am F
Cops said, A poor boy like you could use a break
Am F
We got you for the motel job and we’re talkin’ to your friend Bello
Am F
Now you don’t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
C F
You’ll be doin’ society a favor
G C F
That sonofa is brave and gettin’ braver
Dm C
We want to put his ass in stir
Dm C Em
We want to pin this triple murder on him
Am F C G
He ain’t no Gentleman Jim
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 8]
Am F
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
Am F
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
Am F
It’s my work, he’d say, and I do it for pay
Am F
And when it’s over I’d just as soon go on my way
C F
Up to some paradise
G C F
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
Dm C
And ride a horse along a trail
Dm C Em
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Am F C G
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 9]
Am F
All of Rubin’s cards were marked in advance
Am F
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
Am F
The judge made Rubin’s witnesses drunkards from the slums
Am F
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
C F
And to the black folks he was just a crazy er
G C F
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
Dm C
And though they could not produce the gun
Dm C Em
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
Am F C G
And the all-white jury agreed
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 10]
Am F
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
Am F
The crime was murder one, guess who testified?
Am F
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
Am F
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
C F
How can the life of such a man
G C F
Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
Dm C
To see him obviously framed
Dm C Em
Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Am F C G
Where justice is a game
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 11]
Am F
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Am F
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Am F
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
Am F
An innocent man in a living hell
C F
That’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
But it won’t be over till they clear his name
Dm C
And give him back the time he’s done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world
G
I wanna sweep you off your feet tonight
D
I wanna love you and hold you tight
Em
Spin you around on some old dance floor
C Cm
Act like we never met before for fun,
[Chorus] G
‘Cause you’re the one I want, you’re the one I need
D
Baby, if I was a king, ah, you would be my queen
Em
You’re the rock in my roll
C
You’re good for my soul, it’s true
Cm G D C
I’m head over boots for you
[Verse 2] G
The way you sparkle like a diamond ring
D
Maybe one day we can make it a thing
Em
Test time and grow old together
C Cm
Rock in our chairs and talk about the weather, yeah
G
So, bring it on in for that angel kiss
D C
Put that feel good on my lips,
Chorus:
[Solo]. |( G) | G | D | D | Em | Em | C | C
[Bridge] G
Yeah, I’m here to pick you up
Dm7 C Cm
And I hope I don’t let you down, no,
[Chorus]
[Interlude]. |(G) | G | D | D | Em | Em | C | Cm
[Outro] G
I wanna sweep you off your feet tonight

I wanna love you and hold you tight

Spin you around on some old dance floor....

A baby's born in the middle of the night

They grab his feet, smack'em 'til he cries;

'Fore you know it he's off to school
C F
And then he graduates in May
C F Am G F
Goes out and gets a Ph.D., then cures all sorts of things
Dm G C F

Dm G C

F G C F
It's funny when you think about the reason he's alive
Dm G C F Am G
It's all because two people fell in love

F G C F
Now five generations get together every June
Dm G C
All because two people fell in love
[Chorus]
G
Yea there ain't nothin' not affected
F
When two hearts get connected
C G Am
All that is, will be, or ever was
G
Every single choice we make
F
Every breath we get to take
F G C F Am G
Is all because two people fell in love
[Verse 3]
C F
Well, I recall a young man who was
C F
driftin' aimlessly
C F
And a young waitress who seemed
Am G F
lonesome as can be
Dm G C F
But in a little cafe right off of Fourteenth Avenue
Dm G C
With a whole lotta help from up above
F G C F
We met and things sure turned around for me and you
Dm G C
And all because two people fell in love
[Chorus 2]
G
Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected
F
When two hearts get connected
C G Am
All that is, will be, or ever was
G
I'm glad your dad could not resist
F
Your mama's charms and you exist
F G C
All because two people fell in love
[Tag]
G
You know, to me it's all so clear
F
Every one of us is here
F G C F Am G
All because two people fell in love
[Outro]
C F
A baby's born in the middle of the night
C F
In a local delivery room
C F
They grab his feet, smack'em 'til he cries;
Am G F
He goes home the next afternoon
