This Pattern can be played through the entire song. You can use a pick pattern or
strum pattern, if you like. Whatever sounds best to you! The original idea was
from Jespersloth, I just changed the D#sus to a regular d# because I think it
sounds better. Enjoy!!!
Fm C#
The wound heals but it never does
G#
That's cause you're at war with love
D#
You're at war with love, yeah
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
Never let a wound ruin me
But I feel like ruin's wooing me
Arrow holes that never close from cupid on a shooting spree
Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me
But when you're trying to beat the odds up
Been trying to keep your nods up and you know that you should know
And let her go but the fear of the unknown
Holding another lover strong sends you back into the zone
With no Tom Hanks to bring you home
A lover not a fighter on the frontline with a poem
Trying to write yourself a rifle
Maybe sharpen up a song
To fight the tanks and drones of you being alone
I wish I never looked, I wish I never touched
I wish that I could stop loving you so much
Cause I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
(And just leave then)
You shouldn't have but you said it
(And I hope you never come back)
It shouldn't have happened but you let it
Now you're down on the ground screaming medic
The only thing that comes is the post-traumatic stresses
Shields, body armors and vests
Don't properly work, that's why you're in a locker full of hurt
The enemy within and all the fires from your friends
The best medicine is to probably just let her win
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much
And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
I wish I couldn't feel, I wish I couldn't love
I wish that I could stop cause it hurts so much
And I'm the only one that's trying to keep us together
When all of the signs say that I should forget her
I wish you weren't the best, the best I ever had
I wish that the good outweighed the bad
Cause it'll never be over, until you tell me it's over
Cause you've set me on fire
I've never felt so alive, yeah
Hoping wounds heal, but it never does
That's because you're at war with love
And I'm at the point of breaking
And it's impossible to shake it
See, you hoped the wound heals, but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love
Hope it heals, but it never does
That's cause you're at war with love!
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
These battle scars, don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle
Want Not Need
I'm pretty good at being on my own
If I want it I go get it, if I want it I go get it
When I met you I thought you were gold
Wrapped inside of a deep dark soul
But now I get it, now I get it, now I get it
He's just trying to be a man
Trying to do the best he can
All he needs is one more chance
He'll make it good again
But if you really want a man
Quit being that backup plan
Let him learn to stand
You are something that I want not need
Meant as a compliment you could not see
It would be nice if you would call
And we can kick it like we did when we were kids
But now I get it, now I get it, now, I get it
Chorus
I'm very vocal with my feelings, we all know
You have a different way of dealing, let it show
Cause this ain't my way of healing, to let you go but
now I know, or maybe I don't
Maybe I never will
Maybe I won't
all I know
is this bridge could use a little more
than a couple of minor seven chords
but hey you ain't round to help me anymore
Chorus
G D C G
You know I'd fall apart without you
C D G
I don't know how you do what you do
G D C D
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
G D C
Makes sense when I'm with you
G D C
Like everything that's green, girl I need you
C D G
But it's more than one and one makes two
G D C
Put aside the math and the logic of it
G D C
You gotta know you want it too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

When I kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

[Drake- Verse 1]
I've asked about you and they've told me things
But my mind didn't change, I still the feel the same
What's a life with no fun? please don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know
We know, **strumming fast here sounds good** they don't get you like I will
My only wish is I die real
Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case
Big girls all get a little taste
Pushing me away so I give her space
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thanking you, just don't know
Try to run from that, say you're done with that
On your face girl, it just don't show
When you're ready, just say you're ready
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
And the parties over, just don't forget me
We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
*stop strumming* Won't ever have to worry,
You won't ever have to hide
If you've seen all my mistakes
So look me in my eyes
Am, G, F

Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do

[Drake- Verse 2]
It's my birthday, I get high if I want to
Can't deny that I want you, but I lie if have to
Cause you don't say you love me
To your friend when they ask you
Even though we both know that you do (you do) *strumming here sounds good*
One time, been in love one time
You and all your girls in the club one time
All so convinced that you're following your heart
Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know
We know, *stop strumming* you hate being alone
You ain't the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
And they sold you one
You love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin' to save you
Instead they said…
Bass here-
(Dont tell me, I don't care, if you hurt)

Straight out of the plane to a new hotel
E
Just touched down, you could never tell
E
Big house party with a crowded kitchen
E
People talk shh but we don't listen
A
Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
C
Way too many people in the Allison Lane
D
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh wow
E A B
Midnight memories, oh oh oh
E
Baby you and me
A
Stumbling in the street
B
Singing, singing, singing, singing
E A B
Midnight memories, oh oh oh
E
Baby where we go?
A
Never say no
B
Just do it, do it, do it
E
5 foot something with the skinny jeans
E
Don't look back, baby follow me
E
I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way
E
Same old shh but a different day
E
Tell me that I'm wrong but I do what I please
E
Way too many people in the Allison Lane
E
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh wow
(Chorus)
C#m A
You and me and all our friends

I don't care how much we spend

Baby this is what the night is, oh, oh, oh

For tonight lets just pretend
B
I don't wanna stop till get me oh
(Chorus)
A# D#
It must have been cold there in my shadows,
A# D#
To never have sunlight on your face.
Cm A# F
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
Cm A# F
You always walked a step behind.
A# D#
Well I was the one with all the glory;
A# D#
And you were the one with all the strain.
Cm A# F
A beautiful face without a name, for so long...
Cm A# F
A beautiful smile to hide the pain!
(Chorus)
Gm D# A#
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
Gm D# A#
And everything I would like to be?
Gm D# A#
I could fly higher than an eagle,
D# F A#
For you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
(Chorus) Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
(same chords as chorus) Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

{ Am C F } 2x
{ F C G }
F
Looking back at the beginning of this
Am
And how life was
F
Just you and me and love and all of our friends
Am
Living life like an ocean
F
Now the currents slowly pulling me down
Am
It's getting harder to breath
F
It won't be too long and I'll be going under
Am
Can you save me from this
Am F
Cause It's not my time,
C
I'm not going
G G
There's a fear in me It's not showing
F
This could be the end of me
C G
And everything I know
F Am
Oh, I won't go
F
I look ahead to all the plans that we made
Am
And the dreams that we had
F
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Am
Oh, but I'm taking them back
F
All this time I've just been to blind to understand
Am
What should matter to me
My friend, this life we live
Is not what we have, it's what we believe
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh, It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
Now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh, I won't go
I won't go
It might be more than you believe
It might be something you can't see
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a will in me
Now it's gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
I won't go
There might be more than you believe
There might be more than you can see
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
It's not my time
I'm not going
There's a will in me
Now I know it
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
I won't go
I won't go!
No I wooooon't gooooo down!

Don't ask me, I'll never tell

I looked to you as it fell,

I trade my soul for a wish,
Em
pennies and dimes for a kiss
C
I wasn't looking for this,

Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'

Hot night, wind was blowin'

And all the other boys,
try to chaaase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
[Verse 2]
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
but still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
but it's in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot not, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
at you baaaabeh,
but here's my number,

Hey, I just met you,

but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,

but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
at you baaaabeh,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,

Intro-
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the crowd is here
And the lights are on
And they wanna show oh oh oh oh, yeah
Verse 1-
Yeah, uh
A fresh cool young Lu'
Tryna' catch his microphone check 2, 1, 2
Wanna' believe my own hype but it's too untrue
The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
Did you improve on the design? Did you do somethin' new?
Well ya' name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?
YOU! The more famous person you come through
And the sexy lady next to you, you come too
And then it hit me
Standin' outside of heaven waitin' for god to come and get me
I'm too uncouth
Unschooled to the rules and too gum shoe
Too much of a new comer and too un-cool
Like Shadow and Lavelle, I battle wit' it well
Tho I need holiday like lady who sung Blue
Go back, whatever you did you undo
Heavy as heaven
The devil on me, two ton's too
Chorus-
If you are what you say you are, a superstar
Then have no fear, the camera's is here
And the microphone's
And they wanna' know oh oh oh oh, yeah
Verse 2-
And ya' better wear ya' shaaades
The spotlights here can burn holes through the staaage
Down to the basement pass the Indian graves
Where the dinosaurs laid
Then out through shinin', nearly miss the airliners
Magnified times five, 'less its pointed at the ryhmer
Ricochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaaaze
Now that's important to say
'Cause even with all that most of us don't want it to faaade
We want it to braid, meaning we want it to grow
Meaning we want it to staaay
Like the governor called and he told him to waaait
Un-strap him from the chair and put him back in his caaage
The audience ain't phased
And they ain't gon' clap and they ain't gon' praise
They want everything back that they've paid
'Cause they've been waitin' since ten to see the lights get dim
[Chorus]
Verse 3-
So chauffeur chauffeur come and take me away
'Cause I've been standin' in this line for like five whole days
Me and security ain't getting' along
And when I got to the front, they told me all of the tickets were gone
So just take me home where the mood is mellow
And the roses are grown, M&Ms are yellow
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every songs her favorite song and mics don't feedback
All the reviewers say You need to go and see that
And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleased
And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me
Like, ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha, ha
C F C Dm Dm C Dm
I found out what I've been missing
Always on the run
I've been looking for someone
[Chorus-]
Ab Eb Ab Fm Eb
Now you're here like you've been before
And you know just what I need
Fm Eb C#
It took some time for me to see
Ab Eb Fm Eb Ab Eb Fm Eb
That you give good love to me baby
So good, take this heart mine into your hands
You give good love to me
Never too much
Baby you give good love
Eb Ab Eb Fm Eb Fm Eb C#
Never stopping, I was always searching
For that perfect love
The kind that girls like me dream of

Our love is here to stay, stay

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

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

if your heart is no where in it

when i believe that there's a reason
to write you a love song today

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...

A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A Dadd9
Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"
A Dadd9
Five days since you laughed at me saying
A Dadd9
"Get that together come back and see me"
A Dadd9
Three days since the living room
A Dadd9
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
A Dadd9
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A Dadd9
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
(During the rap its just kind of a funky rock thing I dont really know what its
called but you just hold 000033 if it feels more comfortable you can play G but
you're really only going to strum the high strings)
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver
[Chorus]
F#m7 Esus4
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
A/C# Dadd9
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
F#m7 Esus4
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
A/C#
Can't understand what I mean?
Dadd9
Well, you soon will
F#m7 Esus4
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
A/C# Dadd9
I have a history of taking off my shirt
[Verse 2]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A
Threw your arms in the air
Dadd9
and said "You're crazy"
A Dadd9
Five days since you tackled me
A Dadd9
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
A Dadd9
It's been three days since the afternoon
A
You realized it's not my fault
Dadd9
not a moment too soon
A Dadd9
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A Dadd9
And now I sit back and wait til you say you're sorry
(Again with the 000033 through the whole verse)
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
[Chorus]
F#m7 Esus4
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
A/C# Dadd9
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
F#m7 Esus4
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
A/C#
Can't understand what I mean?
Dadd9
Well, you soon will
F#m7 Esus4
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
A/C# Dadd9
I have a history of losing my shirt
[Verse 3]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A
Dropped your arms to your sides
Dadd9
and said "I'm sorry"
A Dadd9
Five days since I laughed at you and said
A Dadd9
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
A Dadd9
Three days since the living room
A
We realized we're both to blame,
Dadd9
but what could we do?
A Dadd9
Yesterday you just smiled at me
A Dadd9
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
[Outro]
A Esus4
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
A Esus4
It'll still be two days till we say wasabi

INTRO- F#m C#m F#m C#m D E
(N.C.)
Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade
G A Bm C#m
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills
CHORUS-
F#m C#m
Where is my John Wayne
F#m C#m
Where is my prairie son
F#m C#m
Where is my happy ending
D E
Where have all the Cowboys gone
REPEAT INTRO
(N.C.)
Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little something to eat
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet
G A Bm C#m
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills
REPEAT CHORUS
G Bm
I am wearing my new dress tonight
F#m C#m
But you don't even notice me
D E
Say our goodbyes (3 times)
(N.C.)
We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
G A Bm C#m
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer
REPEAT CHORUS
F#m C#m
Where is my Marlboro Man
F#m C#m
Where is his shiny gun
F#m C#m
Where is my lonely ranger
D E
Where have all the cowboys gone
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 Bm Em Em7 Em (you can add these notes on B string-
I read the news today oh boy I'll omit them from now on)

About a lucky man who made the grade
G Bm Em
And though the news was rather sad
C F Em
Well I just had to laugh
C F Em Cmaj7...
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car / He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared / They'd seen his face before
Em C....
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy / The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away / But I just had to look
Having read the book....
C Bm G Am7 Em
I'd love to turn.... you.... on....
(stays on Em for awhile then goes to E-Maj)
E A
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
E
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
E A
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
E
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
C G D C E C G D C
Ahhh....

Verse 1: D Bm7 G D
Oh her eyes, her eyes,
make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay, I say
[Chorus]
When I see your face,
there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile,
the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are, (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Her lips, her lips,
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh,
she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day
Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say
[Chorus]

Intro
C G Am F x2
C G
I walked to the door with you, the air was cold
Am F
But something about it felt like home somehow, and I,
C G
Left my scarf there at your sisters house
Am F-once
And you still got it, in your drawer, even now
C G Am F
C G
Oh your sweet dispositon and my wide eyed gaze
Am F
We're singing in the car getting lost upstate
C G
The autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
Am F
And I can picture it after all these days
C G
And I know it's long gone and, and magics not here no more
Am G F G Am G
And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all
C G
Cause there we are again on that little town street
Am F
You almost ran the red cause you were lookin' over at me
C G Am F
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turing red
Am F
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed
C G
And your mothers telling stories 'bout you on a t-ball team
Am F
You tell me about your past thinkin' your future was me
C G
And I know it's long gone and it was nothing else I could do
Am G F G Am G
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed too
C G
Cause here we are again in the middle of the night
Am F
We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
C G Am F
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G Am F G
C G
And maybe we got lost in translation maybe I asked for too much
Am F
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
C G Am F
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Hey you call me up again just to break me like a promise
Am F
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
C G
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lyin' here
Am F C G Am F
Cause I remember it all all all too well
C G
Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it
Am F
I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still tryin' to find it
C G
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Am F
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
C G
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
Am F
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
C G Am F
You cant get rid of it cause you remember it all too well yeah
C G
Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Am F
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
C G Am F
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it oh
Am F
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
C G Am F
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well

Telling me
That she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer [x3]

And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop [x4]
And i just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop [x4]
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tounge
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
She says come closer
(Repeat Chorus)
Come Closer [x7]

I love you more in a twenty dollar sun dress

Hate that loaded down car you got your keys in, girl

Cause I love you more than a feeling when a bass hits a hook

When the guy gets the girl at the end of the book
Em C
But that ain’t you and me so I guess I’ll just see you around

Intro: G C G Hm Em Am D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time,
someone to call mine. My Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
How many heartaches must I stand,
before I find the love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:
Refrain:
Strophe: G G C G Bm Em Am D
Now love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting, oh 'til that say, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.
My Mama said:

Imagine if the life
That you thought you shared wasn't really there.
It was made up in your mind,
Could be anyone, anywhere,
'Cause you'd been living in a world of your own design, undermined,
In another place, other space in time.
As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear,
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
And wherever you are, land on another star!
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
You better get real, real, real and realize that the situation's going nowhere.
Because you act so tough I've totally lost control.
So please try to understand that if I could I'd call and I would be there.
And if I didn't hurt so much you know I'd give you it all.
You know I'd give you it all.
Imagine if the friend that you thought you knew wasn't really true!
It just existed in your head, the reflection used wasn't you,
Completely unaware could be anywhere, any time,
'Cause there was shift in the paradigm.
As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear,
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
And wherever you are, land on another star!
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.
You better get real, real, real and realize that the situation's going nowhere.
Because you act so tough I've totally lost control.
So please try to understand that if I could I'd call and I would be there.
And if I didn't hurt so much you know I'd give you it all.
It may get harder
'cause you just restarted.

On that you can rely
There is something amiss
I am being insincere
In fact I don't mean any of this
Still my confession draws you near
To confess the issue I refer
To familiar heroes from long ago
No matter how much Peter loved her
What made the Pan refuse to grow
Was that the hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
--Popper's Harmonica Solo--
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
To see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I'll sing to thee
Of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I've lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Oc catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of youre cities
To the ground I've found
I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because...
The hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely
Verse
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination /
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man /
For whatever that means
Pre-chorus
And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out /
What's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar /
And so I wake in the morning And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high /
And I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
Chorus
And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey" “Hey-ey-ey I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I try,
oh my God do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray,

[Intro]
B A E B
[Verse 1]
B
There's a light
C#m
A certain kind of light
E B
That never shone on me
A B
I want my life to be
F#
To live with you
E
To live with you
[Repeat Verse Chords]
There's a way
Everybody says
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you
Ain't got... baby
[Chorus]
B F#
You don't know what it's like
E A
Baby, you don't know what it's like
F#
To love somebody
E
To love somebody
B
The way I love you
[Intro]
B A E B
[Verse 2]
Mmm, in my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so so so very blind
I'm a man, can't you see what I am
I live and I breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you
Ain't got... baby
[Chorus]
A E
You don't know what it's like
D A [N.C.]
Baby, you don't know what it's like
E
To love somebody
D
To love somebody
A
The way I love you
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.

Bb
Back when I had a little
C
I thought that I needed a lot
Eb
A little was over rated,
A#
but a lot was a little too complicated
Bb
You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
C
A million didn't make me happy
Eb
That's when I learned a lesson
A#
That it's all about your perception
Bb
Hey-are you a pauper or a superstar
C
So you act, so you feel, so you are
Eb
It ain't about the size of your car
A#
It's about the size of the faith in your heart
CHORUS-
A D E
I will remember you
A Dmaj7 E7
Will you remember me?
A D A Bm
Don't let your love pass you by
A D E7 A
Weep not for the memories
A D E
Remember the good times that we had
A D E Bm
Let them slip away from us when things got bad
A D E
Clearly I first saw you, smiling in the sun
A D
Wanna feel your warmth upon me
E7
Wanna be the one
CHORUS
A D E7
I'm so tired, I can't sleep
A D E Bm
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
A D E7
Funny how we feel so much, but cannot say a word
A D E7
We are screaming inside, oh, we can't be heard
CHORUS
A D E
A D E Bm
A D E7
A D E A
A D E7
So afraid to love you; more afraid to lose
A D E Bm
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me chose
A D E7
Once there was a darkness; a deep and endless night
A D E7
You gave me everything you had, oh, you gave me life
