[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
Bm D A
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?
A G
Would you live each moment like your last?
D
Leave old pictures in the past
A
Donate every dime you have?
A G
Would you call old friends you never see?
D
Reminisce of memories
A
Would you forgive your enemies?
A G
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above
A E7
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

Regardless of who you are

So do whatever it takes

'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

Is happy with a good guy
But Ive been drinking so much
That Ima call her anyway and say
F-ck that that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say f-ck that that you think you found
And since you picked up I know hes not around
Im just sayin, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately?
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me
Uh, cups of the XO

Guess she dont have the time to kick it no more
Flights in the morning
What you doing thats so important?
Ive been drinking so much
That Ima call you anyway and say
F-ck that that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say f-ck that that you think you found
And since you picked up I know hes not around
Im just sayin, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me
I think Im addicted to naked pictures
And sittin talkin bout es

I dont think Im concious of making monsters
Outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad
But shit its all good
We threw a party, yeh we threw a party
es came over, yeh, we threw a party
I was just calling cause they were just leaving
Talk to me please, dont have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women thats living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels Im ashamed
Bet that you know them, I wont say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same
Ive had sex four times this week Ill explain
Having a hard time adjusting to fame
Sprite in that mixture, Ive been talking crazy girl
Im lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
Im just sayin, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me
Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said you s crazy
I hope no-one heard that
I hope no-one heard that
Cause if they did, we gon be in some trouble

Verse 1: D
We were both young when I first saw you
G
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
Bm G
Im standing there on a balcony of summer air
D
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
G
I see you make your way through the crowd
Bm
You say hello
A
Little did I know
[Pre-Chorus] G A
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
Bm D
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
G
And I was crying on the staircase
A Bm G A
Begging you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus] D
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
A
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
Bm
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
G A D
Its a love story baby just say yes
[Verse 2]
D
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
G
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
Bm
So close your eyes
A
Escape this town for a little while
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
'Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
Bm D
and my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me I was
A Bm G A
Begging you please don't go, and I said
[Chorus]

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

[Solo]
D A Bm G A
[Bridge]
Bm G D A
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
Bm G
My faith in you was fading
D A
When I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
[Chorus]
D
Romeo save me i've been feeling so alone
A
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Bm
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
G A
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
E
Marry me, Juliet you'll never have to be alone

I love you, and that's all I really know

I returned everything I ever bought her

D#m
And ways to say you died

D#m B
My pride still feels the sting
C# D#m
You were my everything
B A#
Someday I'll find a love like yours
D#m B
She'll think I'm Superman
C# D#m
Not super minivan
B A#
How could you leave on Yom Kippur
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
[Chorus]
B
She was caught in a mudslide
F#
Eaten by a lion
C#
Got run over by a crappy purple Scion
B F# C#
Help me, help me I'm no good at goodbyes
B
She dried up in the desert
F#
drowned in a hot tub
C#
Danced to death at an east side nightclub
B F# C#
Help me, help me I'm all out of lies
D#m
And ways to say you died
[Bridge]
B C#
I wanna live a thousand lives with you
B C#
I wanna be the one your dying to
B
Love...but you don't want to
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say
That's cool but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

[Verse]
You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me
Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away, away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

Make a wanna run straight through the fence

Open up the fridge about 20 times

But still can't find no food in it, that's foolishness

And sometimes I wonder why we care so much about the way we look

And the way we talk, and the way we act

And the clothes we bought, how much that cost?
G
Does it even really matter?
Cuz if life is an uphill battle,
Em
We all try to climb on the same old ladder
D
In the same boat with the same old paddle
G
Why so shallow, I'm just asking
What's the pattern to the madness?
Em
Everybody in a #1 draft pick
D
Most of us aint Hollywood actors
G
But if it's all for one, and one for all, then maybe one day we all can ball
Em
Do it one time for the underdogs
D
Sincerely yours, from one of y'all
[Taylor Swift - Chorus]
G Em D C
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
G Em D C
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
[E.o.E]
G
I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle
Em
You just want to live, but everything so low,
D
That you can drown in the puddle
G
That's why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up
For all the times no one ever spoke for us
Em
So every single time that they play this song
D
You can say that, that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us
G
When his eyes get too high and the sea up underneath get so deep
Em
And you feel like you're just another person getting lost in the crowd
D
Way up high in the nosebleeds (Uh)
G
Because we've both been there, yeah both of us
But we still stand tall, with our shoulders up
Em
And even though we always against the odds
D
These are the things that have molded us
G
And if life hadn't chosen us, sometimes I wonder
Where I would have wound up
Em
Cuz if it was up to me, I would make a new blueprint
D
Then build it from the ground up
G
Hey, but if its all for one, and One for all
Then maybe one day we all could ball
Em
Do it one time for the underdogs
D
From Bobby Ray to all of y'all
[Taylor Swift - Chorus]
G Em D C
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us

Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

Now, the king told the boogie men,
G7 Dm7
--More--(4%)
you have to let that raga drop.
A7 Em7
The oil down the desert way
G7 Dm7
has been shaking to the top.
A7 Em7
The sheik he drove his cadillac
G7 Dm7
he went a cruisin down the ville.
A7 Em7
The Muezzin was a standing
Fmaj7
On the radiator grille.
chorus-
Dm7 A7 G7
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.
[Verse 1] Bm G D A/C# x4
Another head hangs lowly,
child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence,
who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
in your head, in your head, they are crying
[Chorus 1]
In your head, in your head,
zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head,
zombie, zombie, zombie
[Verse 2]
Another mother's breaking
heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence,
we must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they're dying
Chorus:
G Em7 Em
Dreams, that's where I have to go
D G
to see your beautiful face anymore
Em7 Em D
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio
G Em7 Em
Hope, hope there's a conversation
D G
we both admit we had it good but
Em7 Em D
until then it's alienation, I know, that much is understood
C
And I realize
CHORUS-
G C
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
Em D C
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
G C
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
Em D C
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
Em D G Em7 Em D G
No matter what they say, I'm not over you
Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
You took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I I'm a boomerang doesn't matter how you throw me
Turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you
CHORUS-
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth.
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
BRIDGE-
D G C Em
And if I had the chance to renew
D G C
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
Em D
I could get back on the right track
G C
But only if you'd be convinced
Em D
So until then
CHORUS-
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you

I took the tube back out of town, back to the rollin' pin
I felt a little like a dying clown with a streak of rin tin tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped and looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the tin pan, god, there's got to be another way.
[repeat chorus]
Well, who are you
(Who are you, who who, who who)
Oh, who are you

Oh, who the fuck are you

I told the world one day I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
Y'all starting to creep in, everyday its so gray and black
Hope, I just need a ray of that
Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
They just say its wack
But they don't know what dope is
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
When I wrote this,
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breath new life in me
I owe my life to you
But for the life of me I don't see why you don't see like I do
But it just dawned on me you lost a son
Demons fighting you, it's dark
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me it'll enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me
Not the slightest clue
'Cause me and you were like a crew
I was like your sidekick
You gon' either wanna fight me when I get off this fucking mic
Or you gon' hug me
But I'm out of options there's nothing else I can do 'cause
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
It hurts when I see you struggle
You come to me with ideas
You say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
'Cause the shit I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Can't make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
Like I'm your leader
Your supposed to fucking be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
It was you, who believed in me
When everyone was telling you don't sign me
Everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
You risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
Dre, I'm crying in this booth
You saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
But I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
Get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
(I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life)
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
You walked in, yellow jump suit
Whole room, cracked jokes
Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
Went through friends, some of them I put on
But they just left, they said they was riding to the death
But where the fuck are they now
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim
Fuck all you fair-weather friends
All I need is him
Fucking backstabbers
When the chips were down you just laughed at us
Now you 'bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, fagots
You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
Little crack a jack beat making wack ass backwards producers,
I'm back bastards
One more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
I'll guarantee they scream Dre don't leave us like that man 'cause
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life

[Verse]
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
[Chorus]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride, everything,
Everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be alright (alright)
Rap
[Verse]
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now. Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
[Chorus]
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride, everything,
Everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be alright (alright)
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride, everything,
Everything will be just fine, everything, everything will be alright (alright)
Rap
[Verse]
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride, everything,

I was raised off of Rural Route 3,
A
out past where the blacktop ends,
D
We'd walk to church on Sunday mornin'
G
and race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
D
That's where I first saw Mary,
A
On that roadside pickin' blackberries,
Bm G A D
that summer I turned a corner in my soul down that red dirt road
[Chorus]
D
It's where I drank my first beer,
A
It's where I found Jesus,
Bm
Where I wrecked my first car
G
I tore it all to pieces,
D
I learned the path to heaven,
A
It's full of sinners and believers,
Bm
Learned that happiness on earth,
G
Ain't just for high achievers,
Em F#m
I've learned, I've come to know,
G A D
there's life at both ends of that red dirt road
[Verse]
D
Her daddy didn't like me much,
A
In my shackled up GTO,
D
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night,
G
Throw rocks at her bedroom window,
D
We'd turn out the headlights,
A
Drive by the moonlight,
Bm G
Talk about what the future might hold,
A D
Down that red dirt road,
[Chorus]

It's where I drank my first beer,

It's where I found Jesus,

Where I wrecked my first car

It's full of sinners and believers,

Outside another yellow moon

Has punched a hole in the nighttime

I climb through the window and down to the street

I'm shining like a new dime
C C D D
The downtown trains are full

With all those Brooklyn girls
Em Em D/F# D/F#
They try so hard to break out of their little world
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Oh, be careful of them in the dark
And if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now
G G C C G G C C
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
G G C C Am Am D D (G...)
Where every night is just the same; You leave me lonely now
(Now) I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the fourway
You watch them as they fall
Ooh, and they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown

[Dr Dre]
Ya'll know me still the same ol' G
But I been low key
Hated on by most these s
Wit no cheese, no deals and no G's, no wheels and no keys
No boats, no snowmobiles and no ski's
Mad at me cause
I can finally afford to provide my family wit groceries
Got a crib wit a studio and it's all full of tracks
To add to the wall full of plaques
Hangin up in the office in back of my house like trophies
But ya'll think I'm gonna let my dough freeze
Ho Please
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to smoke trees
Who you think brought you the o' G's
Eazy-E's Ice Cube's and D.O.C's and Snoop D O double G's
And a group that said mutha*** the police
Gave you a tape full of dope beats
The bomb weed stroll through in you hood
And when your album sales wasn't doin too good
Who's the doc that he told you to go see
Ya'll better listen up closely
All you s that said that I turned pop
Or the Firm flop
ya'll are the reason Dre ain't been getting no sleep
So *** ya'll all of ya'll
If ya'll don't like me blow me
Ya'll are gonna keep ***in around wit me
And turn me back to the old me
[chorus x2 - Eminem]
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothin comes out when they move they lips
Just a buncha gibberish
And mutha***as act like they forgot about Dre
[Eminem]
So what do you say to somebody you hate
Or anybody tryna bring trouble your way
Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way
Just study your tape of NWA.
One day I was walkin by
Wit a walkmen on
When I caught a guy givin me an awkward eye
And strangled him off in the parkin lot wit his Karl Kani
I don't give a *** if it's dark or not
I'm harder than me tryna park a Dodge
But I'm drunk as ***
Right next to a humungous truck in a two car garage
Hoppin out wit two broken legs tryna walk it off
*** you too b**ch call the cops
I'ma kill you and them loud ass mutha***in barkin dogs
And when the cops came through
Me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house
Wit a can full of gas and a hand full of matches
And still one found out
Startin today and tomorrows the new
And I'm still loco and nuts
To choke you to death wit a Charleston chew
[Record scratch]
Slim shady hotter then a set of twin babies
In a Mercedes Benz wit the windows up
And the temp goes up to the mid 80's
Callin men ladies
Sorry Doc but I been crazy
There is no way that you can save me
It's ok go with him Hailey
[chorus x2]
[Dr Dre]
If it was up to me
You mutha***as would stop comin up to me
Wit your hands out lookin up to me
Like you want somethin free
When my last cd was out you wasn't bumpin me
But now that I got this little company
Everybody wanna come to me like it was some disease
But you won't get a crumb from me
Cause I'm from the streets of
I told em all
All them little gangstas
Who you think helped mold 'em all
Now you wanna run around and talk about guns
Like I ain't got none
What you think I sold 'em all
Cause I stay well off
Now all I get is hate mail all day sayin Dre fell off
What cause I been in the lab wit a pen and a pad
Tryna get this *** label off
I ain't havin that
This is the millenium of Aftermath
It ain't gonna be nothin after that
So give me one more platinum plaque and *** rap
You can have it back
So where's all the mad rappers at
It's like a jungle in this habitat
But all you savage cats
Knew that I was strapped wit gats
When you were cuddled wit cabbage patch
[Chorus x3]

to let you go

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
G Em
You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
D B7 Em
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
C Em C G D G D
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah

Been two years since I let you go
I could've listened to a joke for rock n roll
And muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart
On my birthday you sang me a heart of gold
With a guitar hummin and no clothes
This time I'm not leavin without you
Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love for the first time and you said to me
There's something something about this place
Something about lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something something about you and I (little monsters!)

Verse 3-
Have you ever popped champagne on a plane
While getting' some brain
Whipped it out, she said "I never seen snakes on a plane"
Whether you broke or rich you gotta get biz
Having' money's the everything that having' it is
I was splurging' on trizz
But when I get my card back activated
I'm back to Vegas cause
I always had a passion for flashin' before I had it
I closed my eyes and imagined, the good life
Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7
Is the good life better than the life I lived
A Em7 F#m7
When I thought that I was gonna go crazy

Darling I've been standing here just watching you all night

and I think I've even caught you watching me a couple times
If I don't ask I'll never know
This May sound dumb but here we go
G7
Do you believe in love at first site
Chorus 1-
F
Me neither
I'm glad that we agree
C
Believe me
That's a big relief

This place is awful crowded and this music is so loud
G7
Would you like to go and grab a bite to eat?
C
Me neither
(Small Solo)
C
It's nice to finally meet a girl who doesn't move too fast
G
I was only checking that's the reason that I asked
Relationships need time to grow
You and I should take this slow
G7
Darlin' tell me would you like to dance
Chorus 2 - Chords are same
Me neither
I was just being polite
Thank goodness
My feet are much too tired
I'm sure you're tired too
I can see an empty booth
Would you like to maybe sit and talk a while
Chorus 3 - Chords are same
Me neither
We'd never get along
I'm thinkin'
There's no chemistry at all
This has been a waste of time
And I'm running out of lines
Don't you think it's time for me to end this song?
(Pause for 1 Bar)
Me neither..... (SOLO)

The five years we have had, had been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I live my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do
P/Ch
Don't, don't you want me,
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me,
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
Ch
Trust me and you'll find if you think you'll change your mind
You better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me baby, don't you want me oh ohohoh
Don't you want me baby, don't you want me oh ohohoh
~interlude~
Don't you want me baby, don't you want me oh ohohoh
Don't you want me baby, don't you want me oh ohohoh

Intro: [A] [D] [A]
It's been some [D] years ago
Since I left from my [A] island
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]
Chorus:

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]

Ay, She say she usually don't
But I know that she front
Cause shawty know what she want
But she don't wanna seem like she easy
I hear you saying what ya won't do
But you know we probably gonna do
What you been fening deep inside
Don't lie now
[Pre-Chorus] TROY IN
Girl, What ya drinking Gone let it sink in
Here for the weekend Thinking, we can
See what we can be if we press fast forward
Just one more round If you're down, I'm for it
Fill another cup up Feeling on your butt-What?
You don't even care now I was unaware
how fine you was before my buzz set in(My buzz set in)
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Oooh, see? She spilled some drink on me
And now I'm knowing she's tipsy
She put her body on me
And she keep staring me right in my eyes
No telling what I'm gone do
Baby, I would rather show you
What you been missing in your life
When I get inside
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
It's the hard knock lCife (uh-huh) Dfor Eus
It's the hard knock lEife, Dfor Cus!!
Steada Treated,Cwe Dget Etricked
Steada kisses, Ewe gDet Ckicked
It's the hard knock life!! C D E
Verse
Just keep repeating C D E, E D C But here are the rest of the words-
From standin on the corners boppin
to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
From the dope spot, with the smoke Glock
fleein the murder scene, you know me well
from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
But since when y'all z know me to fail? Fuck naw
Where all my z with the rubber grips, bust shots
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not
let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
let's stick up the world and split it fifty/fifty, uh-huh
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh-huh
And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy
Flow infinitely like the memory of my Biggie, baby!
You know it's hell when I come through
The life and times of Shawn Carter
Volume 2, y'all z get ready
Chorus
Verse
I flow for those 'dro'ed out; all my z
locked down in the ten by fo', controllin the house
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks
Burn em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that
I flow for chicks wishin, they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the longshots
All my ballers that's born to clock
Now Imma be on top whether I perform or not
I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots
to King Size, dream machines, the green fives
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
Then I put it down type braile
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit!
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin
I'm tryin to murder everything movin, feel me?!
Chorus
Verse
I don't KNOW how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress
you'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out
Didn't really appreciate it, til the second one came out
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya, uh!
Chorus x2
... It's the hard knock life!!
................ it's the hard knock life!!

GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I'm packed and I'm Holding, I'm smiling,
She's living, she's golden and she lives for me
She says she lives for me. Ovation.
She's got her own motivation
She comes around and she goes down on me
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
D / C / D / C /
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another link like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth will lift you up until you break
It won't stop I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
D / C / D / C /
How do I get back there to
The place where I dell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
D / C / D / C /
When the plance came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing
That velvet dress
You're the priestess
I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the matress
G / D / C / D /
One now you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
No, no, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye...

Absolutely nothing..Listen to me..
#1.
F#m
War! I despise! Because it means destruction
Em F#m
of innocent lives.
F#m Em F#m
War! Means tears to thousands of mother's eyes,
Em F#m
when their sons go to fight and lose their lives.
CHORUS:
#2.***(Chords are the same for the other verses.)***
F#m
War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.
War! friend only to the undertaker.
Ooooh, War! is an enemy to all mankind.
The thought of war blows my mind.
War! has caused unrest within the younger generation.
Induction then destruction..who wants to die? Unnnnh!
CHORUS:
#3.
F#m
War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.
War! it's got one friend..that's the undertaker.
Ooooh, WAR! has shattered many a young man's dreams.
Made him disabled, bitter and mean.
Life is much to short and precious to spend
fighting wars these days.
War! can't give life..It can only take it away.
CHORUS:
#4.
F#m
War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker.
War! friend only to the undertaker.
Peace, love and understanding..Tell me, is there no
place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom,
But, Lord knows, there's got to be a better way.
