Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Telling me
That she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer [x3]
[Chorus]
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 just can't stop no [x4]
(Repeat Chorus)
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop [x5]
Come Closer

Prechorus- |A |A |C |D |
Here are the words
It's getting so lonely inside this bed
Don't know if I should lick my wounds
Or say woe is me instead
And there's an aching inside my head
It's telling me I'm better off alone
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some
They say that girl ya know she act too tough tough tough
Well it's 'til I turn off the light, turn off the light
They say that girl ya know she act so rough rough rough
Well it's 'til I turn off the light, turn off the light
And I say follow me follow me follow me down down down down
'Til you see all my dreams
Not everything in this magical world is what it seems
I looked above the other day
Cuz I think I'm good and ready for a change
I live my life by the moon
If it's high play it low
If it's harvest go slow
And if it's full, then go
But after midnight, morning will come
And the day will see if you will get some
Chorus
I'm searching for things that I just cannot see
Why don't you don't you don't you come and be with me
I pretend to be cool with me, want to believe
That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve
I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life
Where is the love that I'm looking to find
It's all in me, can't you see
I can see, can't you see
I can see, why can't you see
It's all in me!
Chorus
Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need
Where is your logic
Who do you need
Where can you turn in your delicate time of need

Listen to the song for rhythm and the layout of the song. Ive tried to tab out the
as best as i could and hope its clear enough to understand.
Lyrics-
said a hip hop
the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it
to the bang bang boogie, say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
now what you hear is not a test--i'm rappin to the beat
and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
see i am wonder mike and i like to say hello
to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
but first i gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
let's rock, you dont stop
rock the riddle that will make your body rock
well so far you've heard my voice but i brought two friends along
and next on the mike is my man hank
come on, hank, sing that song
check it out, i'm the c-a-s-an-the-o-v-a
and the rest is f-l-y
ya see i go by the code of the doctor of the mix
and these reasons i'll tell ya why
ya see i'm six foot one and i'm tons of fun
and i dress to a T
ya see i got more clothes than muhammad ali and i dress so viciously
i got bodyguards, i got two big cars
that definitely ain't the wack
i got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac
so after school, i take a dip in the pool
which really is on the wall
i got a color tv so i can see
the knicks play basketball
hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards
more money than a sucker could ever spend
but i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker
not a dime till i made it again
everybody go, hotel motel
what you're gonna do today (say what)
cause i'm going to get a fly girl, gonna get some spanking drive off off in a fresh oj.
go hotel, motel, holiday inn
say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend
master g, my mellow
its on you so what you gonna do
well it's on n on n on on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
i said m-a-s, t-e-r, a g with a double e
i said i go by the unforgettable name
of the man they call the master gee
well, my name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
i'm goin down in history
as the baddest rapper there ever could be
now i'm feelin the highs and ya feelin the lows
the beat starts gettin into your toes
ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet
and movin your body while youre sittin in your seat
and the damn ya start doin the freak
i said damn, right outta your seat
then ya throw your hands high in the air
ya rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriere
ya rockin to the beat without a care
with the sureshot m.c.s for the affair
now, im not as tall as the rest of the gang
but i rap to the beat just the same
i dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
all im here to do ladies is hypnotize
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on
like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
pop da pop pop ya dont dare stop
come alive yall gimme what ya got
i guess by now you can take a hunch
and find that i am the baby of the bunch
'but that's okay i still keep in stride
cause all i'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on
rock rock yall throw it on the floor
im gonna freak ya here im gonna feak ya there
im gonna move you outta this atmosphere
cause im one of a kind and ill shock your mind
ill put t-n-t in your behind
i said 1-2-3-4, come on girls get on the floor
a-come alive, yall a-gimme what ya got
cause im guaranteed to make you rock
i said 1-2-3-4 tell me wonder mike what are you waitin for?
i said hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it
to the bang bang the boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
skiddlee beebop a we rock a scoobie doo
and guess what america we love you
cause ya rocked and a rolled with so much soul
you could rock till you're a hundred and one years old
i dont mean to brag i don't mean to boast
but we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
rock it up a baby bubbah
baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie
to the beat beat, its so unique
come on everybody and dance to the beat
a hip hop
the hippie the hippie to the
hip hip hop, a you dont stop rock it
rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang
the boogie to the boogie da beat
i said i cant wait til the end of the week
when im rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
and attempt to raise your body heat
just blow your mind so that you can't speak
and do a thing bout a rock and shuffle your feet
and let it change up to a dance called the freak
and when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
rest a little while so ya don't get weak
i know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong
well, im imp the dimp the ladies pimp
the women fight for my delight
but im the grandmaster with the three mc's
that shock the house for the young ladies
and when you come inside, into the front
you do the freak, spank, and do the bump
and when the sucker mc's try to prove a point
[ Tab from- http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-sugarhill-gang/128630.html ]
we're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
a from sun to sun and from day to day
i sit down and write a brand new rhyme
because they say that miracles never cease
i've created a devastating masterpiece
i'm gonna rock the mike till you cant resist
everybody, i say it goes like this
well i was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that i'm vicious on the mike and the turntable
this young reporter i did adore
so i rocked some vicious rhymes like i never did before
she said damn fly guy im in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
i said by the way baby what's your name
said i go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it
an i'm here an i'm there i'm big bang hank, im everywhere
just throw your hands up in the air
and party hardy like you just dont care
let's do it don't stop yall a tick a tock yall you don't stop
go hotel motel what you gonna do today (say what)
im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
you say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
i say skip, dive, what can i say
i can't fit em all inside my oj
so i just take half and bust them out
i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house
it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a hell of a crew
once a week we're on the street
just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and give you the groove
for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
and to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do
rockin ya down cause ya know we could
to the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
come alive girls get on your feet
to the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
to the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
on n on into the break of dawn
now i got a man comin on right now
he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder mike
come on wonder mike do what ya like
i say a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just ain't no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he ain't finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move
i go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and don't say a word until im through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from six to six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mc's try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but the thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a go word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the suker mc's can bite all night
a tick a tock yall a beat beat yall
a lets rock yall ya don't stop
ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what)
ya say im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin
drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
ya say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friends
a like that yall to the beat yall
beat beat yall ya don't stop
a master gee my mellow
its on you so whatcha gonna do
well like johnny carson on the late show
a like frankie croker in stereo
well like the barkay's singin holy ghost
the sounds to throw down they're played the most

whose name he earned with his super sperm
we rock and we don't stop
get off yall im here to give you whatcha got
to the beat that it makes you freak
and come alive girl get on your feet
a like a perry mason without a case
like farrah fawcett without her face
like the barkays on the mike

like movin your body so ya dont know how

like comin alive to the master gee
the brother who rocks so viciously
i said the age of one my life begun
at the age of two i was doin the do
at the age of three it was you and me
rockin to the sounds of the master gee
at the age of four i was on the floor
givin all the freaks what they bargained for

Don't mean i'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl,
And I liked it.
I liked it
Us girls we are so magical,
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable,
Hard to resist, so touchable.
To good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal,
Its innocent.
I kissed a girl,
and I liked it.
The taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl,
Just to try it.
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right.
Don't mean i'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl,
And I liked it.

Em
Now time for me is nothin' cuz I'm countin' no age
Em
Nah, I couldn't be there, now you shouldn't be scared

Intangible, I bet you didn't think so I command you to
Em
Panoramic view, Look I'll make it all manageable
Em
Pick and choose, Sit and lose, all you different crews

Rhythm, you have it or you don't that's a fallacy
Em
I'm in them every sprouting tree, every child apiece
Em
Every cloud you see. you see with your eyes,
Em
I see destruction and demise, corruption in the skies
Em
From this fuckin' enterprise, now I'm sucked into your lives
Em
Through Russel not his muscles but percussion he provides
Em
With me as their guide
Em
Y'all can see me now cuz you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
Em
That's the inner
Em
So I'ma stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Em
Bust a few rhymes so mother fuckers remember
What the thought is I brought all this,
Em
so you can survive when law is lawless
Em
Feelings, sensations that you thought was dead
Em (stop music)
No squealing, remember that it's all in your head
[Coro]

I'm happy, I'm feelin' glad, I got sunshine in a bag

Hey!
And that's it. Use the same chords and strumming for each chorus and verse, and as for
solo.... well, you can either play the solo like normal(I'll put the tab for the solo
or you can skip it. I find if you're playing alone, the chorus sounds awkward like
because it goes from loud chorus to a somewhat empty/quiet solo feeling, so personally I
it. However, if you have a band or something, it may sound better with the solo.
Also, for the part at the end where he goes a denial over and over, just do the chorus.

[Verse 1] Bm G D A/C# x4
Another head hangs lowly,
child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence,
who are we mistaken
But you see it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
in your head, in your head, they are crying
[Chorus 1]
In your head, in your head,
zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head,
zombie, zombie, zombie
[Verse 2]
Another mother's breaking
heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence,
we must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head, they're dying
Chorus:
B B/B G#m F#
you think i'd leave your side baby

you know me better than that
B B/B G#m

you think i'd leave you down when you're down on your knees

( like the 1. verse)
when you're on the outside baby and you can`t get in
i will show you you're so much better than you know
when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again
i will find you darling and i will bring you home
E F#
and if you want to cry
B B/B G#m F#
i am here to dry your eyes

you think i'd leave your side baby
you know me better than that
you think id leave you down when you're down on your knees

i'll tell you you're right when you want
and if only you could see into me
ha ah ah ah ah ah
oh when you're cold

VERSE
If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would it even matter?
You'd still be mad at me
If I could find in all this
A dozen roses
Which I would give to you
You'd still be miserable
In reality, I'm gonna be who I be
And I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may
Break me down but I say
That it ain't up to you
Gone and do what you do
CHORUS
Hate on me, hater
Now or later
‘Coz I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby
Go ‘head and hate
Go ‘head and hate on me, hate on
‘Coz I'm not afraid of it
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me
Ooh, if I gave you peaches
Out of my own garden
And I made you a peach pie
Would you slap me high
What if I gave you diamonds
Out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that,
Or ask ‚why not the moon‚Äù?
If I gave you sanity
For the whole of humanity,
Had all the solutions
For the pain and pollution
No matter where I live,
Despite the things I give,
You'll always be this way
So go ‘head and….
You cannot hate on me
‘Cuz my mind is free
Feel my destiny
So shall it be

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!

Burning them if they're not quick and nimble I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
G#m E
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo

Rollin' in my 5. 0 With my ragtop down so my hair can blow

Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis

Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine

Reading for the chumps on the wall The chumps acting ill because they're so full of Eight Ball
G#m E
Gunshots ranged out like a bell I grabbed my nine - All I heard were shells
B F#
Falling on the concrete real fast Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
G#m E
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack

Conducted and formed, This is a hell of a concept We make it hype and you want to step with this

Love was kind, for a time

Now just aches, and it makes me blind

This mirrors holds my eyes too bright

We too young and heads too strong

To bear the weight of these lover's eyes

Cuz I feel numb beneath your tongue
G C
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes.

But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage

Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead

Verse 1
G A Bm
Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
A

G A Bm
Do we stay home all the time cuz you want me to yourself?

No matter who may come along
A G

(Chorus x2)
It goes in the Chords-F C Dm Bb, all the way through
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
F C
People killin', people dyin'
Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Bb
Can you practice what you preach
F
And would you turn the other cheek
C
Father, Father, Father help us
Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)
Bb
Where is the love
F
The love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
F C
People killin', people dyin'
Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Bb
Can you practice what you preach

And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us

Send us some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)
Bb
Where is the love
F
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' in the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found
F C
People killin', people dyin'
Dm
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Bb
Can you practice what you preach
F
And would you turn the other cheek
C
Father, Father, Father help us
Dm
Send us some guidance from above
Bb
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
F
Where is the love (Love)
C
Where is the love (The love)
Dm
Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love

The love, the love
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

As I clumsily strummed my guitar
Dm
You'd teach me of honest things

Things that were daring, things that were clean

Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean
Dm Bb
So I hid my soiled hands behind my back
F C
Somewhere along the line I must've gone off track with you

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
A G6
I was layin' in bed
A G6
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
D
If her hair was still red.
A G6
Her folks they said our lives together
A G6
Sure was gonna be rough
A G6
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
D
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
E F#m
And I was standin' on the side of the road

Rain fallin' on my shoes

Heading out for the East Coast

[Verse 2]
A G6
She was married when we first met
A G6
Soon to be divorced
A G6
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
D
But I used a little too much force.
A G6
We drove that car as far as we could
A G6
Abandoned it out West
A G6
Split up on a dark sad night
D
Both agreeing it was best.
E F#m
She turned around to look at me
A D
As I was walkin' away

I heard her say over my shoulder,

We'll meet again someday on the avenue,

Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 3]
A G6
I had a job in the great north woods
A G6
Working as a cook for a spell
A G6
But I never did like it all that much
D
And one day the ax just fell.
A G6
So I drifted down to New Orleans
A G6
Where I happened to be employed
A G6
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
D
Right outside of Delacroix.
E F#m
But all the while I was alone
A D
The past was close behind,

I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
A G6
She was workin' in a topless place
A G6
And I stopped in for a beer,
A G6
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
D
In the spotlight so clear.
A G6
And later on as the crowd thinned out
A G6
I's just about to do the same,
A G6
She was standing there in back of my chair
D
Said to me, Don't I know your name?
E F#m
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
A D
She studied the lines on my face.
Em F#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
A D Em
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
A G6 A G
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
A G6
I thought you'd never say hello, she said
D
You look like the silent type.
A G6
Then she opened up a book of poems
A G6
And handed it to me
A G6
Written by an Italian poet
D
From the thirteenth century.
E F#m
And every one of them words rang true
A D
And glowed like burnin' coal
E F#m
Pourin' off of every page

Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 6]
A G6
I lived with them on Montague Street
A G6
In a basement down the stairs,
A G6
There was music in the cafes at night
D
And revolution in the air.
A G6
Then he started into dealing with slaves
A G6
And something inside of him died.
A G6
She had to sell everything she owned
D
And froze up inside.
E F#m
And when finally the bottom fell out
A D
I became withdrawn,
Em F#m
The only thing I knew how to do
A D E
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 7]
A G6
So now I'm goin' back again,
A G6
I got to get to her somehow.
A G6
All the people we used to know
D
They're an illusion to me now.
A G6
Some are mathematicians
A G6
Some are carpenter's wives.
A G6
Don't know how it all got started,
D
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
E F#m
But me, I'm still on the road
A D
Headin' for another joint
E F#m
We always did feel the same,
A D E
We just saw it from a different point of view,

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

Gotta wash my truck, and dress up.

My best friend gave me the best advice

Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind

That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Against the grain should be a way of life

Don't take the free ride in your own life

It's you in my reflection

If I would've known it, baby
[Chorus]

I would've stayed at home

'Cause I was doing better alone

I knew that was the end of it all

I should've stayed at home

Verse 1-
Bm G D
Feeling my way through the darkness
Bm G D
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where it starts
They tell me I'm too young to understand,
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
Chorus-
Bm G D
So wake me up when it's all over
Bm G D
When I'm wiser and I'm older
Bm G D
All this time I was finding myself, And I
Bm G D
didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, And I
I didn't know I was lost
Verse 2-
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
Chorus-
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, And I
didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, And I
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

Today is the greatest day I've ever known

Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long

I'll burn my eyes out

Before I get out
F# A C# F# A C#
I wanted more than life could ever grant me

Can't wait for tomorrow, I might not have that long

I've tried so hard to cleanse these regrets

My angel wings were bruised and restrained

My belly stings

Today is the greatest.. day.. I have ever really known.
(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?
