I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all.
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

In your pose as the dust settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down

Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes

Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,

Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all,
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?

C#7
Got me talkin' to myself askin' how I'm gon' tell you
C#7
'bout that chick on part 1 I told ya'll I was creepin' with, creepin' with
Said she's 3 months pregnant and she's keepin' it

The first thing that came to mind was you
C#7
Second thing was how do I know if it's mine and is it true
C#7
Third thing was me wishin' that I never did what I did
C#7
How I ain't ready for no kid and bye bye to our relationship
[Chorus]
[Verse 2](Chords the same as Verse 1]
Sittin here stuck on stupid, tryna figure out
When, what, and how I'mma let this come out of my mouth
Said it ain't gon' be easy
But I need to stop thinkin', contemplatin'
Be a man and get it over with (over with)
I'm ridin' in my whip
Racin' to her place
Talkin' to myself
Preparin' to tell her to her face
She open up the door and didn't want to come near me
I said one second baby please hear me
[Chorus]
[Breakdown](Chords same as chorus)
This by far is the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do
To tell you, the woman I love
That I'm having a baby by a woman that I barely even know
I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this
And hopefully you'll give me another chance
This ain't about my career
This ain't about my life
It's about us
Please
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
Verse 2
Chorus
Verse
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination /
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man /
For whatever that means
Pre-chorus
And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out /
What's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar /
And so I wake in the morning And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high /
And I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
Chorus
And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey" “Hey-ey-ey I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
Verse
And I try,
oh my God do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray,
oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day For a revolution

We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof
Talkin' 'bout everything under the moon

With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume
All I could think about was my next move
D#
Oh, but you were so shy, so was I

Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe

Except for that long one after that

And I knew if I wanted this thing to last

Sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand

He was a hard headed man. He was brutally handsome, and she was
terminally pretty. She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the
A7
heart of the cold, cold city. He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude.
E B7
They said he was ruthless; they said he was crude. They had one thing
A7
in common; they were good in bed. She'd say, Faster, faster. The lights
are turnin' red.

Life in the fast lane surely make you lose your mind. Life in the

fast lane, mmmm.
Are you with me so far?

Eager for action and hot for the game, the coming attraction, the drop
of a name. They knew all the right people; they took all the right
pills. They threw outrageous parties; they paid heavily bills.
A7 E
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face. She pretended not
B7
to notice; she was caught up in the race. Out every evening until it
A7
was light, he was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight
about it.
E Tacet E Tacet E Tacet
Life in the fast lane; everything all the time. Life in the fast lane,

Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst, they didn't see the stop sign;
took a turn for the worst. She said, Listen, baby. You can hear
the engine ring. We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen
A7
a god-dam thing. He said, Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash.
E
The doctor says he's coming; but you gotta pay him cast. They went
B7 A7
rushin' down that freeway; messed around and got lost. They didn't
know they were just dying to get off.

You'd teach me of honest things

So I hid my soiled hands behind my back

Haha, Luda!
She can go lower than I ever really thought she could Face down, ass up
The top of your booty jiggling out your jeans, baby pull your pants up
I like it when I see you do it, better than I've ever seen I done befo'
A lot of, women, drop it to the ground, but how low can you go?
Lower than your mama's ever seen it in her lifetime
Never would've imagined it, not even in her right mind
Practice in front of that mirror, now you doing it on the dance flo'
Mad 'cause I can't get with you, chick, just show me how to dance, oh
I may not wanna get low, so I'm posted up, kinda like a player do
But if you come to the crib, then I might show you girls a thang or two
Yeah, I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
I be like knick, knack, patty, wack
Oh, where my kitty cat?
Give a dog a bone
How many licks does it take 'til I get to the center and let a realer take you home?
I can make this show stop, soon as he hear this fo' pop
From ATLANTA all the way down to yo' block
Put the needle on the record
And I make her get lower than a Lamborghini
And if she really get low, then I'ma shoot a video and put it all on TV
'Cause I like that French vanilla (French vanilla)
And the caramel (and the caramel)
But when it comes to chocolate (when it comes to chocolate)
I know that very well
Asian persuasion, no discrimination, I love how they seem to please us
I wanna taste them butter Rican pecan peanut butter cups like Reese's Pieces
'Cause I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, well, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
Drop it, hit it, dump it, split it
Don't, stop, get it, get it
Put it in reverse just to back it up
Let me put some Luda in it
Show me whatchu working with, I'll show you some of this bank, roll
Yeah, you a superstar, there's just one thang I gotta know, so
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]

Some say love, it is a river,
D# F A#
That drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor,

Some say love it is a hunger,
D# F
An endless acheing need
A# F
I say love it is a flower and

You its only seed
[Verse 2]
A# F
It's the heart afraid of breaking
D# F A#
That never learns to dance
A# F
It's the dream afraid of waking
D# F A#
That never takes a chance
Dm Gm
It's the one, who won't be taken
D# F
Who cannot seem to give
A# F
And the soul afraid of dying
D# F A#
That never learns to live
[Verse 3]
A# F
When the night has been too lonely
D# F A#
And the road has been too long
A# F
And you feel that love is only
D# F A#
For the lucky and the strong
Dm Gm
Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow
A# F
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
D# F A#
In the spring becomes the rose

Girl you glistening, the way you look in the light
It's obvious that I want something from you
You know what, what I wanna do, do, do
Every time it would bring me to life
I can only imagine, only imagine
What it'll be like
Oh, every time, it would bring me to life
I can only imagine, only imagine
What it'd be like, what it'd be like
What it'd be like, like, like
What it'd be like, like, like
I saw you from afar
Thought I'd say wassup
You can tell me your name, when we wakin' up
They call me Tunechi, I'm good, I'm Gucci
Now you can kiss your old dude goodbye, smooches
You're a beast, you're a beauty
Man I think somebody dun gave Cupid a Uzi, shoot me
You're a firework, brighter in the dark
So lets turn off the lights and give me that spark
Every time it would bring me to life
I can only imagine, only imagine what it'd be like
Oh every time it would bring me to life
I can only imagine, only imagine
What it'd be like, what it'd be like
What it'd be like, like, like
What it'd be like, like, like
I want to let her touch me, one touch will feel free
I want to feel free, she can kiss me
So I can finally be, so I can finally see, so I can finally see
I saw you from afar
Thought I'd say wassup
You can tell me your name, when we wakin' up
They call me Tunechi, I'm good, I'm Gucci
Now you can kiss your old dude goodbye, smooches
You're a beast, you're a beauty
Man I think somebody dun gave Cupid a Uzi, shoot me
You're a firework, brighter in the dark
So lets turn off the lights and give me that spark

C#m
Came in from a rainy thursday
E B
on the avenue
C3m E B
thought I heard you talking softly
C#m
I turned on the lights, the tv
E B
and the radio
C#m E B
still I can't escape the ghost of you
C#m
What is happened to it all?
G#m
Crazy, some say
B E
Where is the life that I recognize?
E
gone away
B F#m
But I won't cry for yesterday
A
there's an ordinary world
E B
somehow I have to find
B F#m
And as I try to make my way
A
to the ordinary world
A E
I will learn to survive
(The rest of the song is the same as above!)
Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops, runaway
left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
feared today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here beside the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk
(Just blowing away)
And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
every world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
(I will learn to survive)
any world is my world
every world is my world
D Dmaj7
And now, the end is near,
D7 B7
And so I face the final curtain,
Em7 Em7/D
My friend. I'll say it clear,
Em7/Db A7 D
I'll stay my case of which I'm certain.
D D7
I've lived a live that's full.
G Gm
I traveled each and every highway,
D A Asus4 D#maj7/D D
And more, much more than this, I did it m…………….y way.
D Dmaj7
Regrets, I've had a few,
D7 B7
But then again, too few to mention.
Em7 Em7/D
I did what I had to do,
Em7/Db A7 D
And saw it thru without exemption.
D D7
I planned each charted course,
G Gm
Each careful step along the byway,
D A Asus4 D#maj7/D D
And more, much more than this, I did it m___...y way.
D D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
G Gsus4 G
When I bit off more than I could chew,
Em A7
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
F# Bm7
I ate it up, and spit it out.
Em A
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
Asus4 D#maj7/D D
And did it m___...y way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it m___y way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it m___y way!

So dry your tears, I say
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
Little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman no cry
Said I remember when we use to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire lights
I say, log a would a burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, I say
Of which I'll share with you (yeah)
My feet is my only carriage
And so I've got to push on through,
Oh, while I'm gone
Everything 's gonna be alright
Everything 's gonna be alright
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
I say little darlin'
Don't shed no tears
No woman no cry

The dream is gone

Verse 1: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | C
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life,
has a spirit, has a name
Verse 2: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | G
You think the only people who
are people are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew
[Chorus] Em Bm C
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Em Bm
or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
and for once never wonder what they're worth
Verse 4: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | G
The rain storm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
in a circle in a hoop that never ends
[Bridge] G C Bm Em Am D
How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down then you'll never know
[Chorus] Em Bm C
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Em Bm
or whether we are white or copper skin
C D Em
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
C D
You need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Em Bm
You can own the earth and still all you own is earth until
C D G you can paint with all the colors of the wind

How could you ever be so cold?
To go behind my back and call my friend,
Boy you must've gone and bumped your head,
Because you left her number on your phone.
(So now after all is said and done,)
Maybe I'm the one to blame, but..
(To think that you could be the one,)
But it didn't work out that way.
Chorus- (Add Chords on Electric)
Gm Dm
Get out, Right now,
C Bb
It's the end you and me,
Gm Dm
It's too late and I can't wait,
C Bb
For you to be gone, Cause I know,
Gm Dm
About her, and I wonder
C Bb
How I bought all the lies
Gm Dm
That said that you would treat me right,
C Bb
But you was just a waste of time.
Bridge- (Chords only on acoustic, don't play riff here. Electric plays each marked chord
just a quarter note. The X-X chord changes are very fast. You can listen to the song to
what I mean.)
Bb-C# C#-D#
I wanted you right here with me,
D#-F
But I have no choice, you gotta leave,
F
Because my heart is breakin,
F Bb-C#
With every word I'm sayin,
C# D#
I gave up everything I had,
Bb
On somethin that just wouldn't last,
Bb-C (hold)
but I refuse to cry, no tears will fall from these eyes. (Back to riff on acoustic.)
Get out! (Electric comes back in on chorus chords.)

Am C G D
Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
Am
You know I gave you the world
C G D
You had me in the palm of your hand
Am
So why your love went away
C G D
I just can't seem to understand
Am
Thought it was me and you babe
C G
Me and you until at the end
D
But I guess I was wrong
Pre Corus;
Am
Don't want to think about it
C
Don't want to talk about it
G
I'm just so sick about it
D Am
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
C
Feeling the blues about it
G
I just can't do without ya
D Am
Tell me is this fair?
Corus-
C G
Is this the way it's really going
D Am
Is this how we say goodbye?
C G
Should've known better when you came around
D Am
That you were gonna make me cry
C G
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
D Am
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
C G D
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

Repeat....Same Thing
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong
Repeat Pre corus And Corus
Am C D
What goes around comes around.
Am C
What goes around comes around
G D
You shouldn't know that
What goes around comes around
You shouldn't know that
Repeat Pre corus and Corus
Am
You spend your nights alone
C
And he never comes home
G
And every time you call him
D
All you get's a busy tone
Am
I heard you found out
C
That he's doing to you
G
What you did to me
D
Ain't that the way it goes
Same thing-
You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved
D Am C G
And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right
D Am
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

Now, the king told the boogie men,

you have to let that raga drop.

The sheik he drove his cadillac
G7 Dm7
he went a cruisin down the ville.

chorus-

Shareef don't like it.
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 A7
Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
Dm7 A7 G7
Shareef don't like it.
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 A7
Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound.
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound.
But the Bedouin, they brought out the electric camel drum.
The local guitar picker got his guitar picking thumb.
As soon as the Shareef had cleared the square,
They began to wail.
Chorus
Now over at the temple
Oh, they really pack em in.
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing.
But as the wind changed direction
and the temple band took five
The crowd got a whiff
Of that crazy casbah jive.
Chorus
The king called up his jet fighters,
He said, you better earn your pay.
Drop your bombs down between the minarets
Down the casbah way.
As sson as the Shareef was chauffered out of there,
The jet pilote tuned to the cockpit radio blare.
As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed.
Chorus to extro.

But that ain’t you and me so I guess I’ll just see you around

Cause I can’t love you more than my hometown

I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand

Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.

I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said Son if it was up to me

Went down to see my V.A. man

(Em... D.... G... Bm....A... continued for the rest of the song)
i learned the hard way
that they all say
things you wanna hear
and my heavy heart
sings deep down under you
and your twisted words
your help just hurts
you were not what i thought you were
hello to high and dry
convinced me to please you
made me think that i need this too
i'm trying to let you hear me as i am
i'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
i'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
make or break in this
if your on your way
i'm not gonna write you to stay
if all you have is leavin' im'a need a better reason to write you a love song today
promise me
you'll leave the light on
to help me see
(im guessing)- with daylight, my guide, gone (it sounds like something like that..)
'cause i believe there's a way
you can love me because i say
i wont write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one you see
i'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one you see
im not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
if your on your way
im not gonna write you to stay
if your heart is no where in it
i dont want it for a minute
babe ill walk the seven seas
when i believe that there's a reason
to write you a love song today

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
Johnny Marks (c) 1949
You know Dasher and Dancer [Fmaj7 Em7]
And Prancer and Vixen, [Dm7 Cmaj7]
Comet and Cupid [Fmaj7 Em7]
And Donner and Blitzen. [Dm7 Cmaj7]
But do you recall [Am E7 Am]
The most famous reindeer of all? [D9 G4 G7]
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) [C]
Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) [C G7]
And if you ever saw it (saw it) [G7]
You would even say it glows (like a flash light) [C]
All of the other reindeer (reindeer) [C]
Used to laugh and call him names [C G7] (like Pinochio)
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) [G7]
Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly) [G7 C]
Then one foggy Christmas Eve [F Em7 A7]
Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) [Dm7 G7 C]
Rudolph with your nose so bright [G7 Em]
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? [Am7 D7 Dm7 G7]
Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him) [C]
And they shouted out with glee (yippee) [C G7]
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) [G7]
You'll go down in history (like Columbus) [G7 C]
Bm, C#m, D
Throught Out Song. Its Simple.Just get the timing down and its all good.
[Verse 1-]
Bm
I might be too strung out on compliments
C#m
Overdosed on confidence
D
Started not to give a fuck and stop fearing the consequence
Bm
Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long I'm floating in and out of consciousness
And they sayin' I'm back, I'd agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit, I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, ohh I needed that
And they wanna see me pick back up, well where'd I leave it at
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt, cause I'm just mobbin' like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gone make someone around me catch a body like that
No don't do it, please don't do it, cause one of us goes in
And we all go through it
So Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gone pay it
Those my brothers
[Chorus-]
I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
Yeah they know yeah
That the real is on the rise
Fuck them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide
Now its something they know
They know, they know, they know
Yeah I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind.
Then she wanna ask when it got so empty
Tell her I apologize it happened over time
[Verse 2-]
She says they missed the old drake, girl don't tempt me
If they don't get it, they'll be over you
That new shit that you got is overdue
You better do what you suppose to do
I'm like why I gotta be all that but still I can't deny the fact that it's true
Listen to you expressing all them feelings
Soap opera rappers all these s sound like all my children
And that's who you thinking is 'bout to come and make a killing
I guess it really is just me, myself and all my millions.
You know the game even got it like that.
You gone hype me up and make me catch a body like that
Cause I live for this it isn't just a hobby like that.
When they get my shit and play it
[Chorus]
I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
They know, they know, they know
Yeah they know yeah
That the real is on the rise
Fuck them other guys
I even gave them a chance to decide
Now its something they know
They know, they know, they know
I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind.
Tell em' I apologize it happened over time
C
Guess this means you're sorry
F C
You're standing at my door

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Em Am F G
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight

I know that I've got issues

But you're pretty messed up too

Anyway, I found out I'm nothing without you
C Am F G
Cause we belong together now, yeah

Because you're mine, I walk the line

Because you're mine, I walk the line
Verse 1: G Am Em C
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby, they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you win
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your
halo I got my angel now
PRE Chorus
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you break it
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out
CHORUS
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo (halo) halo I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo I can see your halo (halo) halo
[Verse 2]
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burnin' through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like fallin'
Gravity can't begin
To pull me back to the ground again
[Pre-Chorus]
