Em Em D6/9 D6/9 x2
[Verse 1]
Em D6/9
On the first part of the journey
Em D6/9
I was looking at all the life
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D6/9
And the sky with no clouds
Em D6/9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D6/9
But the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Em D6/9
After two days in the desert sun
Em D6/9
My skin began to turn red
Em D6/9
After three days in the desert fun
Em D6/9
I was looking at a river bed
Em D6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 3]
Em D6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D6/9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em D6/9
And a perfect disguise above
Em D6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D6/9
But the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair.
I throwed out my shoulder, but I won her that Teddy Bear.
She's got me saying,"Sugar Pie, Honey, Darlin', and Dear."
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year.
I’m gonna get fired, if I don't get some sleep.
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in too deep.
[CHORUS] C F G C
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.
I try, so hard, I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is, about that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.
[VERSE]
My momma and daddy tried to teach me courtesy.
But it never sank in,'til that girl got a hold of me.
Now, I'm holdin' umbrellas and opening up doors.
I'm taking out the trash, and I'm sweepin' my floors.
I'm crossing my fingers and countin' every kiss.
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this.

Sooner or later, time's gonna take its toll
[Chorus]

I found myself dreaming

In silver and gold

Like a scene from a movie

That every broken heart knows
C
We were walking on moonlight
Em
And you pulled me close
Am
Split second and you disappeared
F
And then I was all alone
C
I woke up in tears
With you by my side
Em
Breath of relief
Am
And I realized
F
No, we're not promised tomorrow
C Em
So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Am F
I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye
C
Wherever we're standing
Em
I won't take you for granted
Am F
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time
C Em
So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you
Am F
So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lo-se you
C
In the blink of an eye
Em
Just a whisper of smoke
Am
You could lose everything
F
The truth is you never know
C
So I'll kiss you longer baby
Em
Any chance that I get
Am
And I'll make the most of the minutes
F
And love with no regrets
C
Let's take our time to say what we want

Use what we got before it's all gone

'Cause no, we're not promised tomorrow

Yeah… gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
(Continued after the jump)
Well if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line
Yeah… we gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
You never know a good thing until it's gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we're dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Yeah… we gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

LYRICS
**********
Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover
If she's with me I'll blink the lights
To let you know tonight's the night
For me and you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
If I'm with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don't even speak
Know the word's discreet when part-time lovers
But if there's some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
So then she won't peek its really you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
I've got something that I must tell
Last night someone rang our doorbell
And it was not you my part-time lover
And then a man called our exchange
But didn't want to leave his name
I guess that two can play the game
Of part-time lovers
You and me, part-time lovers
But, she and he, part-time lovers

So I went hard like Medusa starin' at me,
I told her, Let's go! Let's blow this lame factory!
She said, What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want
Cuz you some kind of star...
No, I'm a comet, I
Just want you woman, hey
If I were you it would be me that I'd go home with, 3
The one and only
One thang you ain't considered,
I heard you when you told your girl, Oooh, he can get it...
Admit it!
You did it!
Let's hop a cab, and split it!
I'm kiddin'!
We both goin' to where you livin'!
Ha! I got you gigglin' like a piglet!
Oh, that's the ticket!
I hope you more like Anita Baker than Robin Givens.
No, I don't know that lady so let me quit it,
I'm just style-freein',
Freestylin' which I seldom do,
This is what I'm tellin' you,
To the bed I'm nailin' you,
Like I've been in jail for two,
Years and then they let me loose...
give me the green light
give me just one night
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
we could go all night
give me the green light
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now

[Capo 3]
Intro- / G - F C / /
Listen, boy, I don't want to see you let
A good thing slip away
You know I don't like watching anybody make
The same mistakes I made
She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
/ G - / F C / - / Bm Bb Am - / Cm G Am AmC /
Oh, listen, boy, I'm sure that you think
You got it all under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
... / Cm G Am GA /
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
/ D - F#m - / Bm - Em EmA / -
Listen, boy, it's not automatically
A certain guarantee
To insure yourself you've got to provide
Communication constantly
When you love someone you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to reassure
{As Refrain}
Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it everyday before you leave
Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
/ F Dm Eb - / Gm C D - / 1st / Gm C A - /
Listen, boy, it's good information
From a man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it

Verse 1: We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
We don't need, anything, or anyone.
Half Chorus: If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Verse 2: I don't quite know, how to say, how I feel
Those three words, I said too much, but not enough.
Full Chorus:
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.
Verse 3: Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.
I need your grace, to remind me, to find my own.
Full Chorus:
Bridge: All that I am, all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where, confused about how as well
just know that these things will never change for us at all.
Last Half Chorus
Oh, ooh wee oh, oh
When I'm looking at you I keep thinking
Why can't she be like you, so I'm scheming
I can't go on like this
Believing that her love is true, oh
Standing on the dance floor while she's trickin'
You are all I want girl, she's a chicken

Verse 2 (same as first verse)
Daddy-O,
You got the swagger of a champion
Too bad for you,
You just can't find the right companion
I guess when you have one too many,
Makes it hard, it could be easy
Who you are, that's just who you are baby
Lollipop,
Must mistake me, your're a sucker
To think that I,
Would be a victim not another
Say it, play it how you wanna
But no way, I'm never gonna fall for you, never you baby

Maybe if we both lived in a different world, yeah

1. I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
Boy is that girl with you ? Yes, we're one and the same.
G
Now I believe in miracles,
D G G G D G G G D ~
and a miracle has happened tonight.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

it don't matter if you're black or white.

2. They print my message in the Saturday Sun,
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.
G
And I told about equality,
D G G G D G G G D ~
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D G G G D G G G D ~ (4x)
it don't matter if you're black or white.
D
I`m tired of this devil, I`m tired of this stuff,
G D
I`m tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.
D
I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets,
G D
I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean.
BLACK OR WHITE, 2
3. (rapping) in D
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
causing grief in human relations.
It's a turf war on a global scale,
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.
See, it's not about races, just places, faces.
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
I've seen the bright get duller,
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.
G
Don't tell me you agree with me,
D G G G D G G G D ~
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
A
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D G G G D G G G D ~
it don't matter if you're black or white.
A
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
G D G G G D G G G D ~
it don't matter if you're black or white.
A
I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother,
G D G G G D G G G D ~
it don't matter if you're black or white.

song today
(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

It's not unusual to go out at any time,

Look at this Photograph, everytime I do it makes me laugh,

How did our eyes get so red, and what the hell is on Joey's head?
B D
And this is where I grew up, I think the present owner fixed it up,
A E
I never knew we ever went without,the second floor is high for sneakin' out.

And this is where I went to school, most of the time had better things to do,

Every memory of lookin out the back door, I had the photo album spread

out on my bedroom floor, It's hard to say it, time to say it

Every memory of walkin out the front door, I found the photo of the friend

that I was looking for, It's hard to say it, time to say it

Good-Bye, Good-Bye.

Remember the old arcade? Blew every dollar that we ever made.
A E
The Cops hated us hangin' out, they say somebody went and burned it down.
B D
We use to listen to the radio and sing along with every song we'd know.
A
We said someday we'd find out how it feels to sing to more than just the
E B D
steering wheel. Kim's the first girl I kissed. I was so nervous that I nearly missed.

She's had a couple of kids since then. I haven't seen her since god knows
G A
when... Oh Oh Oh... Oh God I!

I miss that time, I miss their faces
A E
You can't erase, You can't replace it.

If I could relive those days I know the one thing that would never change...

F Dm Bb C Dm Bb C
Girls, girls just want to have fun
Yeah, I was just hangin' out
Some little west coast town
Found a bar out by the sand
So I made my way in
First thing that caught my eye
Like nothin' I ever seen
Sunburned auburn hair
A California dream
Yeah, she was shakin' them hips
To some old Motown song
I couldn't say a thing
So I sang along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin'
Yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
So I just hung around
This little west coast town
I dropped by every night
I stayed 'til closin' time
My little mystery
That girl is killin' me
So I put on a song
Just to sing along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I've gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin', yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
She's got me mesmerized
She's all I'm thinkin' 'bout
All I think about, think about, think about
So I'm right here, right now
Hummin' this little song
If I could say a thing
I'd want you to know
You were a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, you're movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind) oh
I got to know your name, I got to see you again
And if you're listenin', listenin', listenin'
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Girl, I'm hangin' 'round this little town, yeah
(Where you goin', baby?)
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

D A
I know it's been some time
Bm D
But there's something on my mind
G A
You see, I haven't been the same
D A
Since that cold November day
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately
Bm A
So here I am
D A
And can you please tell me, oh
[Chorus]
D A
Where do broken hearts go
Bm D
Can they find their way home
G D
Back to the open arms
A
Of a love that's waiting there
D A
And if somebody loves you
Bm D
Won't they always love you
G D
I look in your eyes
A D
And I know that you still care, for me
[Verse]
I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind
Bm A
So here I am
D A
And can you please tell me, oh
[Chorus]
D A
Where do broken hearts go
Bm D
Can they find their way home

Back to the open arms

I look in your eyes

And I know that you still care, for me

And now that I am here with you

I'll never let you go

I look into your eyes

And now I know, now I know

[Verse 1]
Dm F
I let it fall, my heart
C Gm
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
Dm F
It was dark and I was over
C Gm
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Dm F
My hands, they're strong
C Gm
but my knees were far too weak
Dm F
To stand in your arms
C C
without falling to your feet
[Pre-chorus]
A# Gm
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
Dm Dm
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true

And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/E Dm
But I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

I could stay there, close my eyes

feel you here forever

You and me together, nothing is better

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Dm Dm/E Dm
I set fire to the rain
C C/D C
And I threw us into the flames
Gm
When we fell, somethin' died
Gm A# Dm C
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
[Bridge]
A# F/A
Sometimes I wake up by the door

That heart you caught must be waitin' for you

Even now when we're already over

I can't help myself from looking for you
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/E Dm
I set fire to the rain

Watched it pour as I touched your face

Well, it burned while I cried

Verse 1:
Listen as your day unfolds /
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears /
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted / Don't be ashamed to cry/ You gotta be
Chorus:
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
Verse 2:
Herald what your mother said /
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you /
Others take a different view
My oh my, hey, hey, hey...
