Forever has now begun...

It’s undeniable that we should be together.

It’s unbelievable, how I used to say that I’d fall never.

The basis is ‘need to know’; if you don’t know just how I feel

Then let me show you that now that I’m for real

If all things in time, time will reveal. Yeah.

Many nights we've prayed, with no proof anyone could hear

Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear

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

Jade Chorus:
This is why we do this, We love good music,
Music fills my room when I'm alone,
Doesn't matter where I am I'm always home,
With a good song
Adrian 1:Now everybody got a reason a thesis that they believe in
here's a couple of mine as I be dropping a rhyme,
See I'm a lyricist I love to pay attention to words man
I'm just trying to do my thing in different parts of the world hey yo,
Sometimes we need distractions from all of the bad that happens,
Sometimes we need to relax this life is such a challenge,
And sometimes, We just need compassion,
But yo without good music then it's hard to have it
Chorus:
Adrian 2:So yo enjoy your moment as you work on what's important
and I'm speaking from experience music helps me focus,
It feels amazing as I listen and I dance to it,
When I'm under pressure my songs they help me handle it and yo,
Whether it's the beat or the lyrics you feel the energy
and maybe you'll remember me one day when you play this melody,
Yeah good music is timeless which is why
it doesn't matter anytime you rewind it yo
Verse 3:When it comes to music I'm a savage for it all
I don't panic anymore when I'm on the mic as I perform,
Thanks to practice I'm a rappin' fanatic,
And yo I ain't ashamed I'll admit I'm an addict,
Gimme that rock and roll or gimme pop, or maybe give me Hip Hop,
Or gimme Spanish music where the party don't stop,
Genre doesn't matter, you just make it your own
with a good song you know that you'll always be home
So once again this is why we do it , If you couldn't tell by now
All Singers: We love good music And instead of having so much confusion
my solution's making music yo to me it's therapeutic
With the right state of mind I'm taking on any challenge
As I stay on the grind But with good music I'm balanced,
And like I said it doesn't matter, you just make it your own
and with a good song you know that you'll always be home
Jade Verse 1
Gimme the mic gimme the booth, / Feeling the vibe feeling the tune
Matter of time you're gonna find, / Power inside power in you, get in the groove
This is why we do this, We love good music, /
And I get in my zone when my favorite song comes on
Jade Verse 2
I've been at this for a minute / It's been a really good run /
My fingers doing what they want to do / I'm just having fun /
I'm doing this for me and it's cool if people get to see /
I got 100 in the vault and if I never take off
I can still rest easy knowing this is why we do this

As a matter of fact I was the one who said I love you first
C G
It was about eight years ago, don't act like you don't know
We were sittin' at home in your mama's livin' room
Cause, we couldn't be alone
See your mama knew I was something else, she knew how I felt
Back then we were in school; and that's your favourite excuse
Growin' up I was a fool; and I can't lie I'm missing you
Listen and don't trip
I think I need a bottle with a genie in it
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
[ Tab from- http://www.guitaretab.com/r/ray-j/367144.html ]
Now tell me is this the only way I can get you right back in
If so then searchin' I'll go, then I can have you for sho
Then you'll be loving me, holding me, kissing me
So girl don't tell me what I'm feeling is make believe
I swear if I lose a second chance with you
I wouldn't know what to do
I'd probably check myself into some kind of clinic
I couldn't be alone because without you I'm sick
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish
I don't even know how we ended upon this road
And, even though we are grown, Girl I just want you to know
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time

Rythym-
B
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
E
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
B
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
E
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
B
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said Son if it was up to me
E
Went down to see my V.A. man
| B | B | B | B | E | E | E | E |
He said Son, don't you understand
B
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
E
They're still there, he's all gone
B
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
| E | E | E | E |
I got a picture of him in her arms now
B
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
E
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.
E
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now

I can see your disco, disco dick

Is sucking my heart out of my mind
Bm B A
I'm outta time, I'm outta fucking time

I'm a gasoline gut with a Vaseline mind, but

Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme

Is alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Bm B A E D x2
[Verse 2]
B A
I take you home, now watch me get you hot

Your just a parrot when your screaming and your shouting
Bm B A
"More crackers, please! More crackers, please!"
E B
You want what you want but you don't wanna be on your knees
A E
Who does your, who does your hair?
B A E x2
[Chorus]
B A
Who took the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp?
E
Who took the ram from the rama-lama-ding-dong?
B A
Who took the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp?
E
Who took the ram from the rama-lama-ding-dong?

"How are you?"

"Fine, thank you?"

"How are you?"
E
"Fine, thank you?"
[Verse 3]
B A E
You bought a new van the first year of your band
Bm
You're cool and I hardly wanna say "not"
B A
Because I'm so bored
E
That I'd be entertained even by a stupid floor
B A
A linoleum floor, linoleum floor
E
Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor
Bm A
I'll walk on it, I'll walk all over you
E
Walk on it, walk on it, walking one, two
[Chorus]

(Who? Who? Who? Who?)

Who took the bomp from the bomp-a-lomp-a-lomp?

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
C D Em /
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
C / D /
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
C D G /
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Verse 3: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | C
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
C
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
G F
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
C
She acts like summer and walks like rain
G F
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
C
Since the return from her stay on the moon
G F
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
G D
Tell me did you sail across the sun
F C
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
G D
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
Dm
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there
C
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
G F
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
C
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
G F
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey
C
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
G F
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
G D
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
F C
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
G D
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Dm
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
C
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
G F
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
C G
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
F
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
G D
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
F C
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
G D
Tell me did you sail across the sun
F C
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
G D
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
Dm
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there
Intro: [A] [D] [A]
It's been some [D] years ago

To go to the [E] mainland,
Like the old folks would [A] say; [Asus4] [A]
As I walked up the [D] gangway
And I stood on the [A] starboard
And I gazed on the [E] harbour
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
Chorus:
Summer days they were [D] warmer then,
When we laughed with the [A] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [E] fog rolled in
Then they made up the [A] hay; [Asus4] [A]
It's been more than a [D] long, long time
Since I held you and [A] called you mine,
And we waited for the [E] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
To wake in the [D] early morn
To the sound of the [A] old fog horn,
And wait for the [E] men to return
With their boats in the [A] bay; [Asus4] [A]
All these things I don't [D] see no more
When I lived on the [A] old cape shore,
And I gazed on the [E] boats on the moors
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]

Solo:
As long as my [D] heart
Doesn't break from those old [A] memories,
Old lovers and [E] old use-to-bes,
I'll come home for to [A] stay; [Asus4] [A]
I can still hear the [D] ocean roar
Through the hills on the [A] old cape shore,
But there's no fishing [E] boats anymore,
But it's a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]

Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her momma's reins
You know playing blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite - I'll pick up little gun
Together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run
Bb Am Dm
You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't wanna be your son

Ah Rosie you're the one
F Bb F C F Bb F C
Dynamite's in the Belfry baby playing with the bats
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworths trying out his attitude on the cats
Papa's on the corner - waiting for the bus
Mommas home in the window - waiting up for us
She'll be there in that chair 'till they wrestle her upstairs cause you know we
ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business baby I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one
[Chorus-]
F Bb F C F Bb
Rosalita jump a little lighter - Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no lie - Rosalita you're my strong desire
Jack-the -rabbit and weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're gonna be there
Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy they'll be comin' up for air
They're gonna play some pool - skip some school
act real cool - stay out all night - it's gonna be alright
(C) Gm C Csus4 C Csus2 C
So Rosie come out tonight - oh baby come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters - chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers - winners use the door
So use it Rosie - that's what it's there for
(CHORUS)
C Gm
And I know your momma she don't like me 'cuz I play in a rock and roll band
Dm Am
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand

Your poppa lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I'm comin' to lend a
hand

C11 C C11 C C11 C C11 C (quickly)
Because the record company Rosie - just gave me a big advance
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine she's dud stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night Rosie I'm coming on strong
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms
I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way
There's a little cafe - where they play guitar all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you know daddy's coming

Pour myself a cup of ambition

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'

Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'

Would deserve a fair promotion

Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me

I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dream he'll never take away
In the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day
Your ship 'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
An' it's all gonna roll you away
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use you mind
And they never give you credit

And you think about it don't you

Want Not Need
I'm pretty good at being on my own
If I want it I go get it, if I want it I go get it
When I met you I thought you were gold
Wrapped inside of a deep dark soul
But now I get it, now I get it, now I get it
He's just trying to be a man
Trying to do the best he can
All he needs is one more chance
He'll make it good again
But if you really want a man
Quit being that backup plan
Let him learn to stand
You are something that I want not need
Meant as a compliment you could not see
It would be nice if you would call
And we can kick it like we did when we were kids
But now I get it, now I get it, now, I get it
Chorus
I'm very vocal with my feelings, we all know
You have a different way of dealing, let it show
Cause this ain't my way of healing, to let you go but
now I know, or maybe I don't
Maybe I never will
Maybe I won't
all I know
is this bridge could use a little more
than a couple of minor seven chords
but hey you ain't round to help me anymore

Verse 2 and 3: Amaj7 Fmaj7 C7 E7
Intro Verse 1:
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there without careYeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enoughI just knew too much
Chorus:
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly
Verse 2:
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you
Who do you think you are Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Chorus:
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
Verse 3:
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
And all I remember is thinking I want to be like them
Ever since I was little Ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come And I can die when I'm done
Chorus:
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Intro
G
G
You can be amazing
G
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
Em
You can be the outcast
Em
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
C
Or you can start speaking up
G
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
G
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Em
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
C
Sometimes a shadow wins
D
But I wonder what would happen if you
G
Say what you wanna say
Em C
And let the words fall out
D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

G
By the enemy
Em
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Em
Bow down to the mighty
C
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
G
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Em
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
C D
Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say
Em C
And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

And since, your history of silence

Won't do you any good

Did you think it would?

Let your words be anything but empty

Why don't you tell them the truth?

Say what you wanna say

[Verse]
Bm D A
My best friend gave me the best advice
Bm
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Bm D A
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
Bm
And try to take the path less traveled by
Bm D A
That first step you take is the longest stride
[Chorus]
A G
If today was your last day
D
and tomorrow was too late
A
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
A G
Would you live each moment like your last?
D
Leave old pictures in the past
A E7
Donate every dime you have?
E7 Bm D A
If today was your last day
[Verse]
Bm D A
Against the grain should be a way of life
Bm
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight

Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
Bm
So live like you'll never live it twice
Bm D A
Don't take the free ride in your own life
[Chorus]
A G
If today was your last day
D
and tomorrow was too late
A
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Donate every dime you have?

Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce of memories

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above

That you finally fall in love

If today was your last day

If today was your last day

Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?

You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
E
Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes
A E
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life

Let nothin' stand in your way

Cause the hands of time are never on your side

Locked in the hotel, there's just somethings that never change
You say we're just friends, but friends don't know the way you taste, la-la-la
'Cause ya know it's been a long time coming, don't ya let me fall, ooh
Ooh, when, your lips undress me, hooked on your tongue

Ooh love, your kiss is deadly, don't stop
[Chorus]

All along I've been coming for ya (For you)
And I hope it means something to you

You wanna fuel my fire?
I’m only getting higher
Cause every time you say my name
I get paid
No matter which way you think about it
I know that you’re thinking about me
I know that you’re thinking about me
And that’s all I need
I ain’t got haters
I got people who don’t love me yet
I got everybody right here
that loves me right now
I got some that used to love me
But can’t get over it
I got some that think they really love me
but they don’t know what love is
And I got love for everyone that I’ve loved before
But don’t you dare show up at my door
You wanna fuel my fire?
I’m only getting higher
Cause every time you say my name
I get paid
No matter which way you think about it
I know that you’re thinking about me
I know that you’re thinking about me
And that’s all I need
You wanna fuel my fire?

I know that you’re thinking about me
I know that you’re thinking about me
But I keep all my energy

You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Verse 2: Am Am Em Em (E7)
Black, black, black and blue
Beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "Hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad woman, bad woman

Chords- Em G D A
Repeat throughout the song
Em G
All I care about is money and the city that I'm from
D A
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it till it's done
And I don't really give a f*ck, and my excuse is that I'm young
And I'm only getting older so somebody shoulda told ya
Em G
I'm on one
D A
Yeah, f*ck it, I'm on one
Yeah, I said I'm on one
F*ck it, I'm on one
A strong one
Two white cups and I got that drink
It could be purple, it could be pink
Depending on how you mix that sh*t
Money that we got, never get that sh*t
Cause I'm on one
F*ck it I'm on one
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You know what I'm like, oh yes, oh yeah
Oh yes, Oh yeah
Oh yes, Oh yeah
You know what I'm sippin, I teach you how to mix it
But you're the only one, cause I don't trust these b*tches
I don't, I don't trust these b*tches
They might catch me slippin'
So you're the only one, cause I don't trust these b*tches
They might, they might catch me slippin' and put in something different
So you're the only one
Cause I don't trust these b*tches
I don't, I don't trust these b*tches
They might catch me slippin'
So you're the only one
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Oooo ooooo ooh
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Let's call up I'm drinkin, let's all get wasted
I'm drinkin', let's all get faded
Drizzy Drake, check me out
Coming live from the the muthaf*cking north side
Kick game, run game, run it real good
But never ever have my b*tches sittin' courtside
Same n*gga that you knew way back when
You actin' like it's somebody you don't know
Tell me how the f*ck we supposed to stay friends
When you got a bunch of feelings that you don't show
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell certain people don't like me no more
New sh*t don't excite me no more
Guess they don't really make 'em like me no more
Uh, you can look me in my eyes and see I ain't myself
Cause if ya what I created then I hate myself
But still, let them girls in,
And tell 'em all leave their cell phones on the table where we see 'em
I'm all day with it man, AM to the PM
N*ggas hatin', I just wish they would say it when I see em all
That's that sh*t that drives me crazy
And it's all that I've been gettin' lately
And it's probably why I'm scared to put the time in
Women wanna f*ck like they're me and I'm them
Looking for some things that I think I can find in you, in you
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Oooo ooooo oh
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Lets call up I'm drinkin', let's all get wasted

The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room

Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well

Even the comatose they don't dance and tell

I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there
F#
So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet

But it wasn't my fault

And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive

'Cause what this palace wants is release

Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
You decided to dip but now you wanna trip
'Cuz another brother noticed me
I'm up on him, he up on me
Don't pay him any attention
Kept crying my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me
BRIDGE-

'Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

Don't be mad once you see that he want it

I put gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drank in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
'Cuz you had your turn but now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

A G6
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
A G6
I was layin' in bed
A G6
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
D
If her hair was still red.
A G6
Her folks they said our lives together
A G6
Sure was gonna be rough
A G6
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
D
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
E F#m
And I was standin' on the side of the road
A D
Rain fallin' on my shoes
E F#m
Heading out for the East Coast
A D E
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 2]
A G6
She was married when we first met
A G6
Soon to be divorced
A G6
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
D
But I used a little too much force.
A G6
We drove that car as far as we could
A G6
Abandoned it out West
A G6
Split up on a dark sad night
D
Both agreeing it was best.
E F#m
She turned around to look at me
A D
As I was walkin' away
E F#m
I heard her say over my shoulder,
A D E
We'll meet again someday on the avenue,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 3]
A G6
I had a job in the great north woods
A G6
Working as a cook for a spell
A G6
But I never did like it all that much
D
And one day the ax just fell.
A G6
So I drifted down to New Orleans
A G6
Where I happened to be employed
A G6
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
D
Right outside of Delacroix.
E F#m
But all the while I was alone
A D
The past was close behind,
E F#m
I seen a lot of women
A D E
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
A G6
She was workin' in a topless place
A G6
And I stopped in for a beer,
A G6
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
D
In the spotlight so clear.
A G6
And later on as the crowd thinned out
A G6
I's just about to do the same,
A G6
She was standing there in back of my chair
D
Said to me, Don't I know your name?
E F#m
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
A D
She studied the lines on my face.
Em F#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
A D Em
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
A G6 A G
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
A G6
I thought you'd never say hello, she said
D
You look like the silent type.
A G6
Then she opened up a book of poems
A G6
And handed it to me
A G6
Written by an Italian poet
D
From the thirteenth century.
E F#m
And every one of them words rang true
A D
And glowed like burnin' coal
E F#m
Pourin' off of every page
A D E
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 6]
A G6
I lived with them on Montague Street
A G6
In a basement down the stairs,
A G6
There was music in the cafes at night
D
And revolution in the air.
A G6
Then he started into dealing with slaves
A G6
And something inside of him died.
A G6
She had to sell everything she owned
D
And froze up inside.
E F#m
And when finally the bottom fell out
A D
I became withdrawn,
Em F#m
The only thing I knew how to do
A D E
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 7]
A G6
So now I'm goin' back again,
A G6
I got to get to her somehow.
A G6
All the people we used to know
D
They're an illusion to me now.
A G6
Some are mathematicians
A G6
Some are carpenter's wives.
A G6
Don't know how it all got started,
D
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
E F#m
But me, I'm still on the road
A D
Headin' for another joint
E F#m
We always did feel the same,
A D E
We just saw it from a different point of view,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.

Where your horses run free
'cause I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures of the jockeys
that were there before me.

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.
It is so big. [scoff] She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, you know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
[bass ostinato]
I mean, her butt, is just so big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... black!
Cm
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupie
I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!
(LA face with Oakland booty)
Cm
Baby got back!
[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
Cm
I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Till the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!
Cm
Baby got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3.

So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines-
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sister, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!

Once upon a time you dressed so fine

You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?

People'd call, say, Beware doll,
Em F G
you're bound to fall You thought they were all kiddin' you

You used to laugh about

Everybody that was hangin' out
F Em Dm C
Now you don't talk so loud

Now you don't seem so proud

About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

But you know you only used to get juiced in it

And now you're gonna have to get used to it

You said you'd never compromise

On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat

Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

Ain't it hard when you discover that

He really wasn't where it's at

He sat down in his overalls, and asked me,
C-Csus4
You waitin on a woman,

I nodded yes n' how bout you,

And she came down the stairs at 8-30,

She said I'm sorry that I took so long,

Didn't like a thing that I tried on,

But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty,

Yea she'll take her time, but I don't mind,

Waitin on a woman
(verse 2)
He said the wedding took a year to plan,
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous,
Waitin on a woman
And he nudged my arm like old men do, and said
I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it,
Waitin on a woman
(chorus)
Am (G)
And I don't guess we'd been anywhere
F
She hasn't made us late I swear,
C G C
Sometimes she does it just cause she can do it,

Boy it's just a fact of life,

So when it finally comes my time,

Verse 1:
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead, long live the king
One minute, I held the key Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus 1:
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason, I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
Verse 2:
It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh, who would ever want to be king?
Chorus 2:
