Gm7 D# A#
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
Gm7 D# A#
But I still need love cause I'm just a man
Gm7 D# A#
These nights never seem to go to plan
Gm7 F5/D# A#
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
[Chorus]
Gm D# A#
Won't you stay with me?
Gm D# A#
Cause you're all I need

This ain't love it's clear to see
F#dim Gm D# A#
But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?
Gm7 D# A#
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
Gm7 D# A#
And deep down I know this never works
Gm7 F5/D# A#
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
[Chorus]
Gm D# A#
Won't you stay with me?

Cause you're all I need

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,
G D G G G D G G G D ~ (2x)
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.

I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother,

Every time you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me,

Every time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care

Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me

Do you speak the same words to someone else when I'm not there.

Suspicion, torments my heart,

Suspicion, keeps us apart,
Bm A7 /G /F# /E
Suspicion, why torture me?
D Em
Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow
Em D
I can't help but think that you re meeting someone else tonight,
D Em
Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow?
Em D
Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight?
Bm D
Suspicion, torments my heart,
Bm D
Suspicion, keeps us apart,
Bm A7 /G /F# /E
Suspicion, why torture me?
D Em
Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer,
Em D
Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind,
D Em
How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger,
Em D
Maybe I'm suspicious cause true love is so hard to find.
Bm D
Suspicion, torments my heart,

Bm A7 /G /F# /E
Suspicion, why torture me?

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
D Em
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
G A
The other on my heart
D Em
I look around, turn the radio down
G A
He says baby is something wrong?
D Em G A
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...
D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G A
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
D Em G
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
A D
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Em
Our song is the way you laugh
G A
The first date ‚man, I didn't kiss her, but I should have‚Äù
Em A Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
D G
Asking God if he could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day

Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
G A
And lost and thrown away
D Em G A
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
D Em
I almost didn't notice all the roses
G A
And the note that said...

Our song is the slamming screen door,

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window

When you're on the phone and you talk real slow

I've heard every album, listened to the radio

Waited for something to come along

That was as good as our song

Cause our song is the slamming screen door

Sneaking out late, tapping on his window

When we're on the phone and he talks real slow

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone

In the front seat of his car
D Em
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
G
And I... wrote down our song
[Verse 1]
A E B C#m
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
A E B C#m
Midnights become my afternoons
A E B
When my depression works the graveyard shift
C#m A E B C#m
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-chorus 1]
A E B
I should not be left to my own devices
C#m A
They come with prices and vices
E B C#m
I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time)
A E B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
C#m A
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
Cause you got tired of my scheming
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B
I’ll stare directly at the sun
C#m
But never in the mirror
A E
It must be exhausting
B C#m
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Verse 2]
A E B C#m
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
A E B C#m
And I’m a monster on the hill
A E B C#m
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
A E B C#m
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-chorus 2]
A E B C#m A
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
E B C#m
Like some kind of congressman (Tale as old as time)
A E B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
C#m A
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
And life will lose all its meaning
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B
I’ll stare directly at the sun
C#m
But never in the mirror
A E
It must be exhausting
B C#m
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Bridge]
A E B C#m
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
A E B C#m
She thinks I left them in the will
A E B C#m
The family gathers around and reads it and then someone screams out
A E B C#m
“She’s laughing up at us from hell!”
A E
It’s me, hi,
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
It’s me, hi, everybody agrees
A E B C#m
Everybody agrees…
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B
I’ll stare directly at the sun

But never in the mirror

It must be exhausting
B C#m
Always rooting for the anti-hero.

(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all.
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
If you close your eyes
Middle 8 is the same as verse
(D) (A) (F#m) (E)
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin, The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
Nothing changed at all,
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feels like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

How's it gonna be.....
Whatever...
Dre, just let it run
Aiyyo turn the beat up a little bit
Aiyyo... this song is for anyone... fuck it
Just shut up and listen, aiyyo...
I sit back with this pack of Zig Zags and this bag
Of this weed it gives me the shit needed to be
The most meanest MC on this - on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve
All this tension dispensing these sentences
Getting this stress that's been eating me recently off of this chest
And I rest again peacefully (peacefully)...
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
Do not come and speak to me (speak to me)...
I don't know you and no,
I don't owe you a motherfucking thing
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick
If you tick me my tank is on empty (is on empty)...
No patience is in me and if you offend me
I'm lifting you 10 feet (lifting you 10 feet)... in the air
I don't care who was there and who saw me destroy you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you (of all you)...
I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be is just me
[Chorus-]
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am
Sometimes I just feel like my father,
I hate to be bothered
With all of this nonsense it's constant
And, Oh, it's his lyrical content -
- the song 'Guilty Conscience' has gotten such rotten responses
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (finger at me)...
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, 'cause they full of shit too
When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn)... and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class city
Having this happening (this happening)...
Then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way (rap this way)...
But I'm glad 'cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
To burn and it's burning and I have returned
[Chorus-]
And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am
I'm so sick and tired of being admired
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on My Name is...
And pigeon-holed into some pop-py sensation
That got me rotation at rock'n'roll stations
And I just do not got the patience (got the patience)...
To deal with these cocky Caucasians who think
I'm some wigger who just tries to be black 'cause I talk
With an accent, and grab on my balls, so they always keep asking
The same fucking questions (fucking questions)...
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who what when, the where, and the how
'Til I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
'Cause they driving me crazy (driving me crazy)... I can't take it
I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
But I can't take a shit, in the bathroom
Without someone standing by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole I'm glad
[Chorus-]
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

G D
So I was lost
G D A Bm
Go count the cards before you go
G D
to the Holland road
G D A Bm
With your heart like a stone you spare no time in lashing out
G D
And I knew your pain
G D A
and the effect of my shame but you
G D Bm A
cut me down
G D Bm A
you cut me down
D (start strumming here, use STRUMMING chords)
G D
And I will not tell
G D A Bm
the thoughts of hell that carry me home
G D
from the holland road
G D A Bm
With my heart like a stone i put up no fight
G D
to your callous mind
G D A
And from your corner you rose to
G D Bm A
cut me down
G D Bm A
you cut me down
D G D G D A Bm
G D
So I hid my love
G D
and little did I know
A Bm
that would not be the end
G D
from the holland road
G D A Bm
Well i rose and i rose and i paid less time
G D
to your callous mind
G D A
and I wished you well as you
G D Bm A
cut me down
G D Bm A
you cut me down
G D
But I still believe
G D
though there's cracks, you'll see
G D A Bm
When I am on my knees I will still believe
G D
And when I have hit the ground
G D
neither lost nor found
G D A Bm
If you'll believe in me I will still believe

Aaaaaah Haaaaaa

G D Bm A
(Don't forget about us)
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
My baby boy
Just let it die
With no goodbyes
Details don't matter
We both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes
It'd be like that baby
Now every time I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don't forget about
[Chorus]
Late nights, playin' in the dark
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
Oh they say
That you're in a new relationship
But we both know
Nothing comes close to
What we had, it perseveres
That we both can't forget it
How good we used to get it
There's only one me and you
And how we used to shine
No matter what you go through
We are one, that's a fact
That you can't deny
So baby we just can't let
The fire pass us by
Forever we'd both regret
So don't forget about
[Chorus]
And if she's got your head all messed up now
That's the trickery
She'll wanna have like you know how this lovin' used to be
I bet she can't do like me
She'll never be M-C
Baby don't you, don't you forget about us
[Chorus- x2]
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us.

I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight I never should have let you go
I didn't know nothing, I was stupid, I was foolish I was lying to myself
I couldn't of fathomed that I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I'd be sitting Here beside myself
Guess I didn't know you Guess I didn't know me
But if I knew everything. I've never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips Cause I don't have a choice
Or what I wouldn't give To have you lying by my side
Right here, cause baby
Chorus 1
When you left I lost a part of me It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby please cause We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place There ain't nobody better
Oh baby baby We belong together
Verse 2
I can't sleep at night When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Singing to me If You Think You're Lonely Now
Wait a minute this is too deep [too deep]
I gotta change the station So I
turn the dial tryin to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I Only Think Of You it's breakin,, my heart
I'm tryin√¢ to keep it together but I'm falling apart
Im feeling all out of my element Throwing things, Cryin tryin
To figure out where the hell I went wrong The pain reflected and this song
Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside I need you, need you back in my life
Baby

VERSE 2- -Just repeat same chords
She was sippin' on southern and singin' Marshall Tucker
We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer
She hopped right up into the cab of my truck and said
fire it up let's go get this thing stuck
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle every little farm town with you
In this brand new chevy with a lift kit
Look a hell lot better with you up in it
So Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
When that summer sun fell to it's knees
I looked at her and she looked at me
And I turned on those KC lights and drove all night
Cuz it felt so right her and I man we felt so right
I put it in park
and grabbed my guitar
and strung a couple cords
and sang from the heart
Girl you sure got the beat in my chest bumpin'
Hell I can't get you out of my head
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle every little farm town with you
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle every little farm town with you
In this brand new chevy with a lift kit
Look a hell lot better with you up in it

Verse 1: C G Am F
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks / Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn
To win some or learn some
Chorus:
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Verse 2
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free
And look into your heart, and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
Chorus:
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Bridge:
I guess what I've been saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do / Our name is our virtue
Chorus:
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
There's no need to complicate
'Cause our time is short
This, oh this, this is our fate, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby, do you believe I'm yours?

I wish it was cooling me

It's been shitty
And I feel awkward, as I should

You'll probably move right through

VERSE (same with 1st verse)
I hold out for one more drink
Before I think
I'm looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well I'm still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place
CHORUS
Well, I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
We'll, I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you

Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
There's a thousand words that I could say to make you come home, yeah.
Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
Seems so long ago you walked away and left me alone.
Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
And I remember what you said to me, you were acting so strange.
Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
And maybe I was too blind to see that you needed a change.
G#m/D# F#/C#
Was it something I said to make you turn away,
B F#/A# F#/A# Em
to make you walk out and leave me cold? If I could just find
Bm/F# F#
a way to make it so that you were right here, right now.
-CHORUS-
Em Bm
I've been sitting here, can't get you off my mind,
Em Bm
I'm try'n' my best to be a man and be strong.
Em Bm
I drove myself insane wishing I could touch your face,
G/D F# Em
but the truth re-mains your gone, (you're-----)
Bm Em Bm
gone, (baby, you're) gone, (girl, you're gone. Baby girl, you're)
Em Bm *2 verse adds F#7(#9) before bridge*
gone, (you're) gone. (You're...___)
-BRIDGE-
Bm F#m Bm Em F#
What will I do if I can't be with you? Tell me, where will I turn to?
G A Bm A/C# Em Bm
Baby, who will I be? Now that we are apart, am I still in your heart?
A Bm E F#
Baby why don't you see that I need you hear with me? Oh----
-VERSE 2-
Now, I don't wanna make excuses, baby.
Won't change the fact that you're gone.
But if there's something that I could do,
Won't you please let me know?
The time is passing so slowly now,
Guess that's my life without you.
And maybe I could change my everyday,
But, baby, I don't want to.
So I'll just hang around and find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you.
And I know in my heart,
You can't say that you don't love me too.
Please say you do, yeah.

And in your eyes you're holding mine

To carry love, to carry children of our own
[Pre-Chorus] G | Em | C | G D | G Em C D
We are still kids, but we're so in love,
fighting against all odds

I see my future in your eyes

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]

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!

[Verse 1} G C G / C / G / C / G / A / D /
You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild & I'm free
You may wonder how I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be
Well you're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live this love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die -- Oh baby
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love you forever, forever & ever amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
G C G
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
C A
I'll be happy to tell you again
C D G Em A D G
I'm gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever Amen
[Verse 2]
They say time takes it's toll on a body
Makes the young girl's brown hair turn grey
But honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair
And if it all fell out well I'd love you anyway
They say that time can play tricks on a memory
Make people forget things they knew
But it's easy to see it's happening to me
I've already forgotten every woman but you --- Oh darlin'
[Chorus]
I'm gonna love you forever, forever & ever Amen
As long as old men sit & talk about the weather
As long as old women sit & talk about old men
G C G
If you wonder how long I'll be faithful
C A
Just listen to how this song ends
[Outro]
C D G Em A D G
I'm gonna love you forever & ever, forever & ever Amen
I'm gonna love you forever & ever forever & ever
Forever & ever Forever & ever Amen

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
E A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
E A
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
E A
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name
Chorus -
B B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
A C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
B A E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Other verses-
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe

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

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

This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it

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…

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

Chorus: Em Am D G C Am Bm Em
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own
Verse 1:
Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't, no, no, no
Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own
I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take
I'll show you how a real queen behaves, oh
Pre Chorus:
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me
Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours
Chorus:
Verse 2:
Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head
Gonna change it and make it a world you won't forget, oh-oh, oh
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me
Pre Chorus:
Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
But I'm stronger than I ever was before
Chorus:
Bridge
In chess, the king can move one space at a time
But queens are free to go wherever they like
You get too close, you'll get a royalty high
So breathe it in to feel the love

Change Is On Its Way
Verse 1: D6 Em7 Em7 D6 D6 Em7 Em7 A7
Oh yes a change is on it's way
For those who pray I dare say pray
For the dawning of the day is standing tall
A long time coming it has been
A long time running bringing in
An ounce of hope for answers to it all
Chorus: Em7 | A7 | D A | G 2X G
So I say hey, give a little thanks
Motivate your fellow man and rid yourself of hate
Don't you wait, if you need a break then break
Then get back in to living for today's a brand new day
Verse 2: D6 Em7 Em7 D6 D6 Em7 Em7 A7
Well I heard this story once of twice
But never thought to take the time
To realize the power each man holds
And now I'm claiming I believe
In individuality
For the path you choose is yours and yours alone
Chorus-
Bridge: Bm | C#dim F#7 | Bm A | G 2X A7
And who's to say,
a boy must have a mother and a father
If a single one could raise him twice as good
Because with guidance and good morals,
higher goal, forgiving more and more,
That same boy would be the best man that he could

I need another story
F#m
Something to get off my chest
Bm
My life gets kind of boring

Need something that i can confess
Till all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no, I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear

Something that were like those years

Don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm Gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like were chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
?Singing straight to cold?
I don't really like my flow, no, so
[CHORUS]
Got no reason
Got no shame
Got no family
I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything

When I was in the third grade I thought I was gay
Ab Eb
'Cause I could draw, an' my uncle was, and I kept my room straight
Eb Cm
I told my mom tears rushing down my face
Ab Eb
She's like Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k, trippin'
Eb Cm
Yea I guess she had a point didn't she?
Ab Eb
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
Eb Cm
I remember doing the math like, yea I'm good at little league
Ab Eb
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
(repeat progression)
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know
Eb Eb Eb/C Eb/Ab Eb
And I can't change
Eb Eb/C
Even if I tried
Ab Eb
Even if I wanted to

I'm acting strange

Have you read the YouTube comments lately
Eb Ebsus4/F Eb/G Cm
Man, that's gay get dropped on the daily
Ab Ab6 Ab7 Eb
We become so numb to what we're saying
Eb Cm
A culture founded from oppression, yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Ab Eb
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
Eb Cm
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Ab Eb
A gay is synonymous with the lesser
Eb Cm
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Ab Eb
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
(repeat progression)
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
Eb Eb/C
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Cm/Ab Cm7/Bb
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
Eb Gm7
I might not be the same, but that's not important
Ab Eb
No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it
Eb Eb/C Eb/Ab Eb
Eb Eb/C Ab Eb
(repeat)
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
Eb Cm
And press play, don't press pause
Ab Eb
Progress, march on
Eb
With the veil over our eyes
Cm
We turn the back on the cause
Ab Eb
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god we believe in
We come from the same one
Eb Gm7
Strip away the fear
Ab Eb
Underneath it's all the same love
About time we raised up
Eb Cm Ab Eb
And I can't change
Eb Cm
Even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

I'm acting strange

Even if I try

Even if I wanted to

My love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm

I’ve looked for love in all the same old places

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
F C G
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh.
F C F C
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?

Most nights, I don't know anymore

This is it, boys. This is war.

Why don't we break the rules already?

I was never one to believe the hype.

But here they come again to jack my style

So this is it? I sold my soul for this?

Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
F C
No. When I see stars, when i see stars, that's all they are.

When I hear songs, they sound like a swan.

So come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!

Ten years of this, and I'm not sure if anybody understands.
F C
This is not one for the folks back home.
F C
I'm sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go.
F C G
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
F
My heart is breaking for my sister
C
And the con that she called love.
G
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
F
Man, you wouldn't believe
C G
The most amazing things that can come from.
(F C F C F C G x4 and through ending)
Some terrible nights.

You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
F E7
Gimme your heart, make it real
Am
Or else forget about it
I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm from your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round
And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth
And just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it
And just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
give me your hard, make it real
hooo Or else forget about it hee
Or else forget about it nah nah
hooo Or else forget about it nah nah nah
hooo Or else forget about it hoo hoo
hooo Or else forget about it he he he
