Cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
Verse 1
C D
Never put my love out on the line
Em
Never said yes to the right guy
D
Never had trouble getting what I want
C
But when it comes to you I'm never good enough
D
When I don't care
Em
I can play him like a Ken doll
D
Won't wash my hair
C
Then make him bounce like a basketball
D
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Em
Paint my nails and wear high heels
D
Yes you make so nervous that I just can't hold your hand

And every time I try to be myself
C
It comes out wrong like a cry for help

It's just not fair
Em
Brings more trouble than it all is worth
D
I gasp for air

But you make me wanna act like a girl

Paint my nails and wear perfume

For you, make so nervous that I just can't hold your hand

It doesn't matter what I say
D A D E
So long as I sing with inflection

That makes you feel that I'll convey
D A D E
Some inner truth of vast reflection
A E F#m C#
But I've said nothing so far
D A D E
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
A E F#m C#
And it don't matter who you are
D A D E
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
A E F#m C#
Because the hook brings you back
D A D E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
A E F#m C#
The hook brings you back
D A D E
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
intro - G / C / G / Am
verse - G / C/ G / Am x4
an old man turned 98, won the lottery and died the next day
it's a black fly in a new chardonney
it's a death row pardoned two minutes too late...
chorus- same as verse (x3)
its like rain on your wedding day
its a free ride when you've already paid
it's the good advice that you just didn't take
Bb / F / G
and who would have thought it figured
verse
traffic jams when you're already late
a no smoking sign on your cigarette break
its like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
its like meeting the man of your dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
chourus x2
Am/ G/ Am / C
life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you think
every things ok and everything blows up in your face...
chorus
D A F#m E
Verse 1:
I could lift you up
I could show you what you want to see
And take you where you want to be
You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
Verse 2:
I could fill your cup
You know my river won't evaporate
This world we still appreciate
You could be my luck
Even in a hurricane of frowns
I know that we'll be safe and sound (safe and sound)
Line Trumpet: C# F# F# G# A B C# E E E+ D C# B
Chorus:
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound (Hold your ground)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
Verse 3:
I could show you love
In a tidal wave of mystery
You'll still be standing next to me
You could be my luck
Even if we're six feet underground
I know that we'll be safe and sound

you can love me because i say

'cause you asked for it

You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do

And they settle ‘neath your skin

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say

It's the hard knock lCife (uh-huh) Dfor Eus
It's the hard knock lEife, Dfor Cus!!
Steada Treated,Cwe Dget Etricked
Steada kisses, Ewe gDet Ckicked
It's the hard knock life!! C D E
Verse
Just keep repeating C D E, E D C But here are the rest of the words-
From standin on the corners boppin
to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
From the dope spot, with the smoke Glock
fleein the murder scene, you know me well
from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
But since when y'all z know me to fail? Fuck naw
Where all my z with the rubber grips, bust shots
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not
let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
let's stick up the world and split it fifty/fifty, uh-huh
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh-huh
And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy
Flow infinitely like the memory of my Biggie, baby!
You know it's hell when I come through
The life and times of Shawn Carter
Volume 2, y'all z get ready
Chorus
Verse
I flow for those 'dro'ed out; all my z
locked down in the ten by fo', controllin the house
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks
Burn em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that
I flow for chicks wishin, they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the longshots
All my ballers that's born to clock
Now Imma be on top whether I perform or not
I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots
to King Size, dream machines, the green fives
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
Then I put it down type braile
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit!
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin
I'm tryin to murder everything movin, feel me?!
Chorus
Verse
I don't KNOW how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress
you'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out
Didn't really appreciate it, til the second one came out
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya, uh!
Chorus x2
... It's the hard knock life!!

Dm
Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell;
Jimmy Rodgers on the victola up high.
Mama's dancin' baby on her shoulders,
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky.
Asus A Gsus G
The boy could soon know how to move everything;
Fsus F Csus C
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.
[Chorus]
Gm Csus C
Black Velvet in that little boy's smile.

Black velvet in with that slow southern style.

A new religion that'll bring you to your knees,

Black velvet, if you please.
[Verse 2]
Dm
Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave,
White lightening, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl,
Love me tender leaves 'em cryin' in the aisles.

The way he moved it was a sin so sweet and true,

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

Verse 1: G | G | Am | C D
You're sweet as a honeybee, but like a honeybee stings,
You've gone and left my heart in pain.
All you left is our favorite song, The one we danced to all night long.
It used to bring sweet memories, Of a tender love that used to be.
Chorus 1: G | D | Am | D C
Now it's the same old song,
But with a different meaning, since you been gone.
It's the same old song,
But with a different meaning, since you been gone.
Verse 2: G | G | Am | C D
Sentimental fool am I,
To hear an old love song and wanna cry.
But the melody keeps haunting me,
Re-minding me, how in love we used to be.
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our hearts,
Staying to-gether forever, darling, breaking up never.
Chorus 1: G | D | Am | D C
Verse 3: G | G | Am | C D
Precious memories keep a lingering on,
Every time I hear our favorite song.
Now you've gone, left this emptiness,
I only reminisce the happiness we spent.
We used to dance to the music, (dance to the music),
Make ro-mance to the music, (make ro-mance to the music).

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

Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
causing grief in human relations.
It's a turf war on a global scale,
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.
See, it's not about races, just places, faces.
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
I've seen the bright get duller,
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.

Turning into butterflies above the nation

Bb C
I only want to share it with you
Haha, Luda!
She can go lower than I ever really thought she could Face down, ass up
The top of your booty jiggling out your jeans, baby pull your pants up
I like it when I see you do it, better than I've ever seen I done befo'
A lot of, women, drop it to the ground, but how low can you go?
Lower than your mama's ever seen it in her lifetime
Never would've imagined it, not even in her right mind
Practice in front of that mirror, now you doing it on the dance flo'
Mad 'cause I can't get with you, chick, just show me how to dance, oh
I may not wanna get low, so I'm posted up, kinda like a player do
But if you come to the crib, then I might show you girls a thang or two
Yeah, I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
I be like knick, knack, patty, wack
Oh, where my kitty cat?
Give a dog a bone
How many licks does it take 'til I get to the center and let a realer take you home?
I can make this show stop, soon as he hear this fo' pop
From ATLANTA all the way down to yo' block
Put the needle on the record
And I make her get lower than a Lamborghini
And if she really get low, then I'ma shoot a video and put it all on TV
'Cause I like that French vanilla (French vanilla)
And the caramel (and the caramel)
But when it comes to chocolate (when it comes to chocolate)
I know that very well
Asian persuasion, no discrimination, I love how they seem to please us
I wanna taste them butter Rican pecan peanut butter cups like Reese's Pieces
'Cause I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, well, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
Drop it, hit it, dump it, split it
Don't, stop, get it, get it
Put it in reverse just to back it up
Let me put some Luda in it
Show me whatchu working with, I'll show you some of this bank, roll
Yeah, you a superstar, there's just one thang I gotta know, so
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the hotel Flamingo wearing black market shoes
Am [Alternate B/w G&D]
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
Am
No one wants to be lonely
Am [Alternate B/w G and D]
No one wants to sing the blues
She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, whatcha doing with him
When you could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice with her elegant finger
I want to be what she's drinking
Yeah, I just want to be
CHORUS-
C G
I saw you first
D G
I'm the first one tonight
C G
I saw you first

Don't that give me the right
C G
To move around in your heart
D
Everyone was looking
But I saw you first
[Alternate between G & D]
On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo
Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a bird over her shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star
CHORUS
In the bone colored dawn
Me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
The radio is playing
She left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up; there ain't no girl like that
CHORUS and fade
Verse 1: A
I have climbed highest mountains I have run through the fields

[Chorus 1] E Dsus2 A
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
[Verse 2] A
I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips
Dsus2 A
It burned like fire, this burning desire
A
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil
Dsus2 A
It was warm in the night, I was cold as a stone
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3] A
I believe in the kingdom come then all the colors they will
Dsus2
bleed into one, bleed into one
A
But yes I'm still running
A
You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains
Dsus2
carried the cross of, of my shame, of my shame
A
You know I believe it

Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.

Verse 2- (The same as verse 1)
I never will forget those nights.
I wonder if it was a dream.
Remember how you made me crazy,
Remember how I made you scream.
Now I don't understand what
Happened to our love.
But, baby, when I get you back,
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.

Verse 3- (Also the same as verse 1)
Out on the road today I saw a Black Flag
Sticker on a Cadillac.
A little voice inside my head said-
Don't look back, you can never look back.
I thought I knew what love was.
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever.
I should just let them go, but
(Chorus X2)
#1.
G
Yes it's me and I'm in love again,
Had no lovin' since you know when.
C
You know I love you, yes I do,
D
And I'm saving all my lovin' just for you.
#2.
G
Need your lovin' and I need it bad.
Just like a dog when he's goin' mad.

Wooo..eee, baby, wooo..ooo-eee!

Baby won't you give your love to me?

The love of me I've left behind

Chorus 2 [chorus chord progression continues to fade]-
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and sea just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Chorus 3-
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you
[repeat first two lines of chorus 1]
[piano solo]
Interlude-
We all know sometimes life's hate and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where He wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this Earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great-grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you...
[repeat choruses 1, 2, 3]

It's kind of amazing
My head goes through clouds
Above the rain and I'm never coming down down
Now that you saved me, baby
That stupid party talked outside
Walked to your place stayed up 'til 5
You'd never think a random night could change your life
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
Sing, na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Hey, it's fire and magic
But when you go away-way
It's like the Titanic
I'm split up into pieces in the Atlantic
So baby, won't you stay stay 'cause I gotta have it, have it
That stupid party talked outside
Walked to your place stayed up 'til 5
You'd never think a random night could change your life!
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
We all need a light in the dark
Come and spend the night in my heart
We all need a light in the dark
Come and spend the night!! Hey!
Hey, tell me if I'm crazy
But when you come around round
It's kind of amazing
My head goes through clouds,
Above the rain and I'm never coming down down
Now that you saved me, baby
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
Na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Sing! Na na na na na (ooh ooh)
Na na na na na (ooh ooh)
I've never been in love before you!
Lightin the dark
Come and spend the night in my heart
We all need a light in the dark

[Verse 1]
E A7
It ain't my fault, so don't blame me
E B
I swear I just came here to unwind and have one drink
E A7
The way it looks ain't what you think
E B | E
This Cabernet has a way of vanishing on me
[Chorus]
E A
There's a hole in the bottle leaking all this wine
E B7
It's already empty and it ain't even supper time
E
Honey, no, I don't miss him
A
In fact, it slipped my mind
E B7 | E
There's a hole in the bottle of wine
Verse 2]
E A7
I keep my cool, play by all the rules
E B
I swear ten minutes ago that bottle was full
E A7
I won't cry about love gone wrong
E B
'Cause tears would water down this ruby red I'm sipping on
Chorus:
I went and got a new one
'Cause the other one was broken
Now this one's halfway gone
And it's barely even open
Chorus
You may ask me where it's goin'
But I can't even find
The hole in the bottle of wine
Verse 1:
Oh, once upon a midnight eerie I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies,
yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Well, what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully
Chorus:
But you Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
Verse 2:
Shake me and my confidence About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch",
hey baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking
I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
Chorus:

We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof
Talkin' 'bout everything under the moon
C#
With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume
All I could think about was my next move
D#
Oh, but you were so shy, so was I
C#
Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe

When you smiled and said to me
N.C. G# C# D#
Are you gonna kiss me or not?

It was the best dang kiss that I ever had
Except for that long one after that
C#
And I knew if I wanted this thing to last
D#
Sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand
So I took a chance
C#
Bought a wedding band and I got down on one knee

And you smiled and said to me

Are you gonna kiss me or not?

So, we planned it all out for the middle of June
From the wedding cake to the honeymoon

And your momma cried
When you walked down the aisle

When the preacher man said, Say I do

I did and you did too, then I lifted that veil
D# (LET IT RING OUT)
And saw your pretty smile and I said
N.C. G# C# D#
Are you gonna kiss me or not?

VERSE 1 : A / / E7
Friday night I trashed your party Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
Bm G E A
I was only having fun wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
VERSE 2 I was stranded in the combat zone, I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive, but I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right

Turn off the light Don't try to save me
D E A
You may be wrong for all I know but you may be right
VERSE 3 Oh, remember how I found you there Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man, I said Take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
Verse 4 Now think of all the years you tried to Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
