Intro- C
C
Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl
G D
I'm a humming and a strumming, all over God's world
C
You can't remember when you got your last meal
G D
And you don't know just how a woman feels
Bb Eb
You didn't know what rock and roll was, until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
Bb Eb C
I got there in the nick of time, before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
Interlude- C
C
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
G D
And the heater don't work and it's oh so cold
C
You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
G D
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
Bb Eb
You didn't know how rock and roll looked, until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Bb Eb
Halfway home in the parking lot, by the look in her eye she was giving what she got
C F C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F G
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C
Woman you're a mess going to die in your sleep
G D
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
C
Can't keep you home, you're messing around
G D
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
Bb Eb
You didn't know that rock and roll burned, so you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
Bb Eb
You got the rhythm you got the speed, Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
C F C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F G
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
Solo- C G D C G D
Bb Eb
I didn't know you had a rock and roll record, until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
Bb Eb
You told me I was the only one, but look at you now, it's dark and you're gone
C F C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
C F C F
My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy
C F C F
So shy, so shy (repeat, fade)
You're here, I'm pleased
I really dig your company
Your style, your smile, your peace mentality
Lord, have mercy on me
I was blind, now I can see
What a king's supposed to be
Baby I feel free, come on and go with me
Let's take a long walk around the park
In Case You Don't
Verse 1-
Woke up early this morning for no particular reason
I glanced over to your side, you're captivating when your dreaming
Seeing that smile on your face puts a smile on my face
You're so addicting that sometimes I catch myself not breathing
I'd hate to disturb you but damn you make me want you make me want you so bad
I can't live without you, it's imperative you always know that
Can't control myself around you, baby I'm so glad that I found you
Here with you, there's no other place I'd rather be at
Pre Chorus-
And I know sometime I may not always treat you right
But now, I am watching you peaceful and I vow with all my life
Tonight, I'm gonna make it right
Chorus-
Cause baby you're the one that I've been searching all my life for
How could I ever ask for more
And when the lights go down it's you that I am after
I know we both know, but in case you don't
Verse 2-
Baby here I am to show you all the things I've never shown you
I'll be here till the end, your lover and your best friend
I will be here when you need me, baby I'll be here completely
You've got me hooked on your love and every word that you have said
So here's to you my love, the only one I want in my life
You are the air I breathe the single brightest star in my sky
If you were to hesitate, I wouldn't care how long the wait
I will be standing here until the day that I can call you all mine
Pre Chorus-
Solo-
Woke up early this morning for no particular reason
I glanced over to your side, you're captivating when your dreaming
You and me together thought the days and night
I don't worry cause everything's gonna be alright
No one, No one, No one, can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, No one, No one, can get in the way of what I'm feeling
[Verse 1]
E B A
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk,

A B E F#m
My car is in the front yard, and I'm, sleeping with my clothes on,
A B
I came in through the window, last night
E B A
and you're, gone, gone.
[Verse 2]
E B A
It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy,
E B A
'Cause every now and then I kick the living shit out of me
E B A
The smoke alarm is going off and there's a cigarette,
E B A
Still burning, please tell me
[Chorus] (change up strumming)
E F#m

My car is in the front yard, and I'm, sleeping with my clothes on,

[Verse 1] A Bbdim7 Bm Bm E E7 A A A Bbdim7 Bm Dm E E7 E E7
Blame it all on my roots / I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
I toasted you
Said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me
Complain
[Chorus] A A Bm E A A A A7 Bm E A A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got friends
In low places
[Verse 2] A Bbdim7 Bm Bm E E7 A A A Bbdim7 Bm Dm E E7 E E7
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that Ivory tower That you're livin'in
[Chorus]
Bm G
Bm D
Cross your heart and say you're never giving up
Bm G
That you'll carry on when every door will shut
Bm F#m G A
And you'll live you'll live with no regret
Bm D
We wear a smile to hide that we've been hurt before
Bm G
Keep our desires in a suitcase by the door
Bm F#m G A
'Cause you know, you know we're only human
Chorus-
D F#m
So lay your hands on the left behind
Bm G
We know how it feels to be forgotten for a while

In a crowded place try not to feel alone,
Bm G
Just remember that we've all been broken once
D A7
Let's love the broken ones, yeah yeah

Raise your glass to all the words we never say

My life gets kind of boring

Got no reason
Got no shame
Got no family
I can blame
Just don't let me disappear

He was a hard headed man. He was brutally handsome, and she was
terminally pretty. She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the
A7
heart of the cold, cold city. He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude.
E B7
They said he was ruthless; they said he was crude. They had one thing

in common; they were good in bed. She'd say, Faster, faster. The lights
are turnin' red.

Life in the fast lane surely make you lose your mind. Life in the

fast lane, mmmm.
Are you with me so far?

Eager for action and hot for the game, the coming attraction, the drop
of a name. They knew all the right people; they took all the right
pills. They threw outrageous parties; they paid heavily bills.
A7 E
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face. She pretended not
B7
to notice; she was caught up in the race. Out every evening until it
A7
was light, he was too tired to make it; she was too tired to fight
about it.
E Tacet E Tacet E Tacet
Life in the fast lane; everything all the time. Life in the fast lane,
E Tacet
uh huh.
E
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst, they didn't see the stop sign;
took a turn for the worst. She said, Listen, baby. You can hear
the engine ring. We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen
A7
a god-dam thing. He said, Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash.
E
The doctor says he's coming; but you gotta pay him cast. They went
B7 A7
rushin' down that freeway; messed around and got lost. They didn't
know they were just dying to get off.

And it was life in the fast lane,

life in the fast lane.

[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

[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)
(I don't tell you, you don't care)

Jade's Key: G Am Em C
Verse 1:
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag /
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin /
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep? /
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing /
Do you know that there's still a chance for you /
Cause there's a spark in you?
Pre Chorus:
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
Chorus:
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Verse 2:
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
Pre Chorus:

Boom Boom Boom
Even Brighter than the moon moon moon

Verse 1: We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
We don't need, anything, or anyone.
Half Chorus: If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Verse 2: I don't quite know, how to say, how I feel
Those three words, I said too much, but not enough.
Full Chorus:
If I lay here, if I just lay here
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.
Verse 3: Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.
I need your grace, to remind me, to find my own.
Full Chorus:
Bridge: All that I am, all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where, confused about how as well
just know that these things will never change for us at all.
Last Half Chorus
Let's go back in time
When seeing your ID on mine
Made me crazy
Ooh baby I'm saying
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
I'm talking bout
Back in time
When you wanted to know my every move
Tired to keep it smooth
Keepin' up with me
You drove me crazy ohh baby
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
Want to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go
[Chorus-]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
Let's go back in time
When our kiss was brand new
An adventure not perfected
A little hesitant
Let's go back there
Let's take it there
Take it back in time
When forever was a minute, and eternity was a second
I'm stressing that we have to go back there
Let's take it there.
When you
Didn't know me
Didn't need me
Want to touch me
Couldn't leave me
I couldn't know how
Far it would go
I couldn't know if
This was for sure
We just could not
We just could not get enough of it baby, let's go
[Chorus-]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love
Ooh baby, let's go
[Chorus-]
Have that wreckles love
That crazy love
That off the wall won't stop ti'l I get enough kind of love
I need that love
So baby, let's go
Have that wreckless love
That crazy love
That I don't really care
We can have it anywhere
Kind of love
That wreckless love

Dear Slim, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin
G D Em
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
C D
I sent two letters back in Autumn, you must not have got 'em
G D
There probably was a problem with the post office or somethin'
Em C D
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
G D Em
But anyway, what's been up man, how's your daughter?

My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father

If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her

Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance,
D G Em
I ain't mad, I think it's just f***** up that you don't answer fans
C
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
D G D
You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
Em C
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
D
We waited in the blistering cold for you
G D Em
For four hours and you just said no
C
That's pretty s****y man, you're like his f***ing idol
D C Em
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
C
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
C G D
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I write you
Em C
You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way
D
I never knew my father neither
G D Em
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
C
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
D G D
So when I have a s****y day, I drift away and put em on
Em C
Cause I don't really got s*** else, so that s*** helps when I'm depressed
D C
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Em C
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
D G D
Its like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
Em C
See everthing you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
D G D
My girlfriend's jealous, because I talk about you 24/7
Em C
But she don't know you like I know you slim, no one does
D G D
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up
Em C
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose

We should be together too

But didn't, but Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him
Em C
That's kinda how this is, you could've rescued me from drowning
D G D
Now it's too late, I'm on a 1,000 downers now, I'm drowsy
Em C
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
D G D
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off my wall
Em C D
I love you Slim, we could've been together, think about it
C Em
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it

And when you dream, I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it

I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me

See Slim, shut up b****, I'm trying to talk
D G D
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
Em C
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you

Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, then she'll die too

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
D
And here's an autograph for your brother
G D Em
I wrote it on this Starter cap
C
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you

I say that s*** just clownin' dog
Em
C'mon, how f***ed up is you?

You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
D G D Em
To keep your a** from bouncin' off the walls when you get down some
C
And what's this s*** about us meant to be together?
D G D Em
That type of s*** will make me not want us to meet each other
C
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
D G
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
D Em C
I hope you get to read this letter, I hope it reaches you in time
D C
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
Em C
If you relax a little, I'm glad that I inspire you, but Stan
D G D Em
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
C
I just don't want you to do some crazy s***
D G D Em
I seen this one s*** on the news a couple of weeks ago that made me sick

Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town
/ Am - - AmAm7 / -
{Refrain}
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now
/ E - - - / -
Transmit the message to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home
{Refrain}
...This ain't no mudd club, or CBGB...
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play
{As refrain}
Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard
I ain't got no time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
I don't know what I look like
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive

A baby's born in the middle of the night

They grab his feet, smack'em 'til he cries;

Now five generations get together every June
Dm G C
All because two people fell in love

All that is, will be, or ever was

Every single choice we make

Every breath we get to take

Is all because two people fell in love
[Verse 3]
C F
Well, I recall a young man who was
C F
driftin' aimlessly
C F
And a young waitress who seemed
Am G F
lonesome as can be
Dm G C F
But in a little cafe right off of Fourteenth Avenue
Dm G C
With a whole lotta help from up above
F G C F
We met and things sure turned around for me and you
Dm G C
And all because two people fell in love
[Chorus 2]

Baby, there ain't nothin' not affected

When two hearts get connected

All that is, will be, or ever was

I'm glad your dad could not resist

All because two people fell in love

All because two people fell in love

Here are the lyrics-
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I always thought I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror
Who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I try different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just tripping
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the makeup that Mac can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so
Damn unpretty
I make you feel unpretty too
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I try different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Keep on tripping
Chorus x2
I make you feel unpretty too
Make me feel unpretty
Oh oh, oh oh oh x4
Chorus
You can buy your hair if it won't grow (ha ha ha ha)
You can buy all the makeup that Mac can make
But if you can't look inside you
Be in a position to make me feel so
You can buy your hair if it won't grow

Verse 1: G / C / G / C /
Been flyin' solo for so long
Nobody's singin' the harmony
Up there just me and my shadow
No bass, no guitar, no tambourine
[Pre-Chorus 1] Am | Em | Am | Em | Am | D
And I found you like a melody You were singin' in the same key as me
We had 'em dancin' in the streets
[Chorus] C | D | G D | Em | Am | D | G D | Em
C | D | G D Em | C | D | G /
I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
Puttin' miles on a run-down van
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
I don't wanna be a one man band
[Verse 2] G / C / G / C /
I wanna run down your wild dreams
And I wanna chase every high with you
Count every rip in these old jeans
We'll never learn how to sing the blues
[Pre-Chorus 2] Am | Em | Am | Em | Am | D
If I'm gonna be famous Girl, I wanna be famous with you
We got our own little groove
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

When the spotlight goes cold, and the curtains come down

The chairs are all stacked, and there's no one around

Verse 1:
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead, long live the king
One minute, I held the key Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus 1:
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason, I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
Verse 2:
It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh, who would ever want to be king?
Chorus 2:
[Verse 1]
Bm G
There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
Bm G
In a happy home, I was a king I had a gold throne
A Bm G
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
A Bm G A
I hear the songs from the places where I was born
[Chorus]
Bm A G
Up on the hill across the blue lake,
A Bm
thats where I had my first heart break
A G
I still remember how it all changed
D A
my father said
Bm G
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
D A
See heaven's got a plan for you
Bm G
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
A Bm G D A
Yeah! Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!
Bm G
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
[Verse 2]
Bm G
There was a time, I met a girl of a different kind
Bm
We ruled the world,
G A
I thought I'll never lose her out of sight, we were so young
Bm G
I think of her now and then
A Bm G A
Still hear the songs reminding me of a friend
[Chorus]

Up on the hill across the blue lake,

thats where I had my first heart break

For better or for worse
