Gm7 F
Could you be could you be squeaky clean

One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

Verse two (same chords as verse one)-
---------------------------------------------------------
I spy, tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
intervention, food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the Majity feels
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam

Ending-
-----------
Ab G7
Sowing the seeds
Ab G7
An end to need
Ab G7
And the politics of greed
D C D C D C D C
Now and then I think of when we were together
D C D C D C D C
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
D C D C
Told myself that you were right for me
D C D C
But felt so lonely in your company
D C D C D C D C
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
D C D C D C D C
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
D C D C D C D C
Like resignation to the end Always the end
D C D C D
So when we found that we could not make sense
D C D C
Well you said that we would still be friends
D C D C D C D C
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
D C B F
But you didn't have to cut me off
D C
Make out like it never happened
B F
And that we were nothing
D C B F
And I don't even need your love
D C
But you treat me like a stranger
B F
And that feels so rough
D C B F
You didn't have to stoop so low
D C B
Have your friends collect your records
F D
And then change your number
D C B F
I guess that I don't need that though
D C B F
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
D C D C D C D C
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
D C D C D C D C
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
D C D C
And I don't wanna live that way
D C D C
Reading into every word you say
D C D C
You said that you could let it go
D C D C D C D C
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
D C B F
But you didn't have to cut me off
D C
Make out like it never happened
B F
And that we were nothing
D C B F
And I don't even need your love
D C
But you treat me like a stranger
B F
And that feels so rough
D C B F
You didn't have to stoop so low
D C B
Have your friends collect your records
F D
And then change your number
D C B F
I guess that I don't need that though
D C B F
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
D C B F
I used to know
D C B F
That I used to know
D C B F
Somebody...

Outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad
But shit its all good
We threw a party, yeh we threw a party

I was just calling cause they were just leaving
Talk to me please, dont have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women thats living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels Im ashamed
Bet that you know them, I wont say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same
Ive had sex four times this week Ill explain
Having a hard time adjusting to fame
Sprite in that mixture, Ive been talking crazy girl
Im lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
Im just sayin, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me
Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said you s crazy
I hope no-one heard that
I hope no-one heard that
Cause if they did, we gon be in some trouble

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,

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

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-]
Baby put your arms around me
Tell me I'm the problem
Know I'm not the girl you thought you knew and that you wanted
Underneath the pretty face is something complicated
I come with a side of trouble
But I know that's why you're staying
[Hook-]

[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

Meanwhile, I'm still thinking...(Fade.)
G C Em D
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
Em C G D
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
G C Em D
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
Em C G D
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
etc
Because they'd stick up for me
Chorus-
If I were a boy
I think that I'd understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
cause I know how it hurts
when you lose the one you wanted
cause he's taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!
verse 2-
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone that its broken
so they think
that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
and make the rules as I go
cause I know that she'll be faithful
waiting for me to come home ( to come home)
Chorus
If I were a boy
I think that I could understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
when you loose the one you wanted
cause he's taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
Chorus
But your just a boy
You don't understand (and you don't understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you'll wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you taken her for granted
And everything that you had got destroyed
But your just a boy…

[Verse 1] E E A E B A E E
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
And I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
And I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do
And I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
[Chorus] A E A C#m F#m
Yeah I wanna feel the sunshine,
shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me,
ya let me know there's
nothin' in the world I can't do
[Verse 2] E E A E B A E E
I used to run in circles, goin' nowhere fast
I'd take one step forward, end up two steps back
I couldn't walk a straight line, even if I wanted to
I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do
No, I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
I wanna love some body, love somebody like you

Right under my feet there's air made of bricks

I've got the power
I've got the power
Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack
Front to back, in this thing called rap
Dinging like a cymbal, rhyme devil on the heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
Radical mind, day and night all the time
7-14, wise divine
Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Quality I possess and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see
So peace, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic

It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic

I've been devoting myself to you Monday to Monday and Friday to Friday
Am F C Am
Not getting enough retribution or decent incentives to keep me at it
Am F C Am
I'm starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office
Am F C Am
So I'm gonna go somewhere cozy to get me a lover and tell you all about it
[Chorus]
Am F C Am
There's a she wolf in your closet
Am F C Am
Open up and set her free
Am F C Am
There's a she wolf in your closet
Am F C Am
Let it out so it can breathe
[Interlude]
Am F C Am x2
[Verse 2]
Am F C Am
Sitting across a bar, staring right at her prey
Am F C Am
It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way
Am F C Am
Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent
Am F C Am
The moon's my teacher, and I'm her student
Am F C Am
To locate the single men, I got on me a special radar
Am F C Am
And the fire department hotline in case I get in trouble later
Am F C Am
Not looking for cute little divos or rich city guys that just want to enjoy
Am F C Am
But having a very good time and behave very bad in the arms of a boy
[Chorus]
Am F C Am
S.O.S. she's in disguise
Am F C Am
S.O.S. she's in disguise
Am F C Am
There's a she wolf in disguise
Am F C Am
Coming out, coming out, coming out
Am F C Am
S.O.S. she's in disguise
Am F C Am
S.O.S. she's in disguise
Am F C Am
There's a she wolf in disguise

Coming out, coming out, coming out

There's a she wolf in your closet

Why you at the bar if you ain't poppin the bottles?

I see you drivin, sportscar, ain't hittin the throttle
And I be down, and do a hundred, top down and goggles
Get off the freeway, exit 106 and parked it
Ash tray, flip gate, time to spark it
Gucci collar for dollar, got out and walked it

Warm, sweatin its hot up in this joint
VOKAL tanktop, on at this point
You're with a winner so baby you can't loose

You know dance in front your mirror while your on the phone
Checkin your reflection and tellin your best friend,

[Verse]
F#m
They made up their minds
Bm
And they started packing
C#7 F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F#7 Bm
An exit to eternal summer slacking
F#m C#7
But where were they going without ever
F#m
Knowing the way?
F#m
They drank up the wine
Bm
And they got to talking
C#7 F#m
They now had more important things to say
F#7 Bm
When the car broke down they started walking
F#m C#7
Where were they going without even
F#m E
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#7
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E
They'll never get old and grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#7
But they really don't care
D
They wanted the highway
A E C#7
They're happier there today
[Verse]
F#m
Their children woke up
Bm
And they couldn't find them
C#7 F#m
They left before the sun came up that day
F#7 Bm
They just drove off and left it all behind'em
F#m C#7
But where were they going without ever
F#m E
Knowing the way?
[Chorus]
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#7
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E
They'll never get old and grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#7
But they really don't care
D
They wanted the highway
A E C#7
They're happier there today
[Solo 1]
F#m Bm F#m C#7 F#m
[Chorus]
E A
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
E
Is paved with gold
F#m
It's always summer
C#7
They'll never get cold
D
They'll never get hungry
A E
They'll never get old and grey
A E
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
F#m
They won't make it home
C#7
But they really don't care

They wanted the highway

They're happier there today

Eb Cm Ab Eb
Eb Cm
When I was in the third grade I thought I was gay
Ab Eb
'Cause I could draw, an' my uncle was, and I kept my room straight
Eb Cm
I told my mom tears rushing down my face
Ab Eb
She's like Ben you've loved girls since before pre-k, trippin'
Eb Cm
Yea I guess she had a point didn't she?
Ab Eb
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
Eb Cm
I remember doing the math like, yea I'm good at little league
Ab Eb
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
(repeat progression)
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know
Eb Eb Eb/C Eb/Ab Eb
And I can't change
Eb Eb/C
Even if I tried
Ab Eb
Even if I wanted to
Eb
I'm acting strange
Eb/Cm Ab
Even if I try
Eb Eb Eb/C
Even if I wanted to
Ab Eb
My love, my love, my love
Eb Eb/C
She keeps me warm
Ab Eb
She keeps me warm
Eb Eb/C
She keeps me warm
Ab Eb
She keeps me warm
Eb Cm
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Cm/Ab Eb
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
Eb Ebsus4/F Eb/G Cm
Man, that's gay get dropped on the daily
Ab Ab6 Ab7 Eb
We become so numb to what we're saying
Eb Cm
A culture founded from oppression, yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
Ab Eb
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
Eb Cm
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Ab Eb
A gay is synonymous with the lesser
Eb Cm
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Ab Eb
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
(repeat progression)
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
Eb Eb/C
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Cm/Ab Cm7/Bb
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
Eb Gm7
I might not be the same, but that's not important
Ab Eb
No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it
Eb Eb/C Eb/Ab Eb
Eb Eb/C Ab Eb
(repeat)
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
Eb Cm
And press play, don't press pause
Ab Eb
Progress, march on
Eb
With the veil over our eyes
Cm
We turn the back on the cause
Ab Eb
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god we believe in
We come from the same one
Eb Gm7
Strip away the fear
Ab Eb
Underneath it's all the same love
About time we raised up
Eb Cm Ab Eb
And I can't change
Eb Cm
Even if I tried
Ab Eb
Even if I wanted to
Eb
I'm acting strange
Eb/C Ab Eb
Even if I try
Eb Cm
Even if I wanted to
Ab
My love, my love, my love
(N.C.)
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
