I noticed the chord sequence of Shania Twain's You're Still The One on your
list.
I recently chorded this myself and, while the one there is nearly correct,
it is in the wrong key. Here is the correct key as found on the UK version
(if there is a difference) of her Come On Over album.
This is the same key as on the album Come On Over (in the UK at least).
What a brilliant track from a brilliant (and georgeous) singer !

All I care about is money and the city that I'm from
D A
I'ma sip until I feel it, I'ma smoke it till it's done
And I don't really give a f*ck, and my excuse is that I'm young
And I'm only getting older so somebody shoulda told ya
Em G
I'm on one
D A
Yeah, f*ck it, I'm on one
Yeah, I said I'm on one
F*ck it, I'm on one
A strong one
Two white cups and I got that drink
It could be purple, it could be pink
Depending on how you mix that sh*t
Money that we got, never get that sh*t
Cause I'm on one
F*ck it I'm on one
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You know what I'm like, oh yes, oh yeah
Oh yes, Oh yeah
Oh yes, Oh yeah
You know what I'm sippin, I teach you how to mix it
But you're the only one, cause I don't trust these b*tches
I don't, I don't trust these b*tches
They might catch me slippin'
So you're the only one, cause I don't trust these b*tches
They might, they might catch me slippin' and put in something different
So you're the only one
Cause I don't trust these b*tches
I don't, I don't trust these b*tches
They might catch me slippin'
So you're the only one
Oh Ooooh, trust issues

Oh Oooo ooooo ooh
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Let's call up I'm drinkin, let's all get wasted
I'm drinkin', let's all get faded
Drizzy Drake, check me out
Coming live from the the muthaf*cking north side
Kick game, run game, run it real good
But never ever have my b*tches sittin' courtside
Same n*gga that you knew way back when
You actin' like it's somebody you don't know
Tell me how the f*ck we supposed to stay friends
When you got a bunch of feelings that you don't show
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell certain people don't like me no more
New sh*t don't excite me no more
Guess they don't really make 'em like me no more
Uh, you can look me in my eyes and see I ain't myself
Cause if ya what I created then I hate myself
But still, let them girls in,
And tell 'em all leave their cell phones on the table where we see 'em
I'm all day with it man, AM to the PM
N*ggas hatin', I just wish they would say it when I see em all
That's that sh*t that drives me crazy
And it's all that I've been gettin' lately
And it's probably why I'm scared to put the time in
Women wanna f*ck like they're me and I'm them
Looking for some things that I think I can find in you, in you
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Ooooh, trust issues
Oh Oooo ooooo oh
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Lets call up I'm drinkin', let's all get wasted

[Verse 1]
G C G
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
C G C D
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
G C G
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
C G D G
'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
[Verse 2]
G C G
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
C G C D
and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
G C G
And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
C G D G
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
[Verse 3]
G C G
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
C G C D
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
G C G
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
C G D G
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
[Chorus]
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
C G C D
know when to walk away and know when to run.
G C G
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
[Verse 4] (transpose +1 here if you want to play it correctly)
G C G
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
C G C D
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
G C G
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
C G D G
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
[Verse 5]
G C G
And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
C G C D
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
G C G
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
C G D G
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
[Chorus]
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
C G C D
know when to walk away and know when to run.
G C G
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
C G C D
know when to walk away and know when to run.
G C G
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
C G D G
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
G C G
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
C G C D
know when to walk away and know when to run.

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.
It is so big. [scoff] She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, you know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
[bass ostinato]
I mean, her butt, is just so big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... black!
Cm
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupie
I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!
(LA face with Oakland booty)

Baby got back!
[Sir Mix-a-Lot]

I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Till the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!
Cm
Baby got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3.
Cm
So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines-
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sister, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!

VERSE-
F#m, D, A, E7 (play throughout entire verse one bar per chord)
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf, will you blow me off and play me
just like everybody else?
If I ask you to scratch my back could you manage that? Furthermore, I apologize
for any skipping tracks.
It's just the last girl that play me left a couple cracks. I used to, used to,
used to, used to now I'm over that,
'cuz holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts. If I could only find a note
to make you understand...

verse 2- (same chords as first verse)
If I wasn't old school, fifty pound boombox - would you hold me on your shoulder
wherever you walk?
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops and crank it higher everytime
they told you to stop?
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me, when you have to purchase mad D
batteries.
Appreciate every mix tape your friends make. You never know when we come and go
like we're on the interstate.
I think I finally found a note to make you understand. If you hear this, sing
along and take me by the hands.
Keep myself inside your head like your favorite tune, and know my heart is a
stereo that only plays for you.

I have no snare in my headphones

There you go, yeah
F E Am

[Verse 1]
Am E
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
Am E
I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against
F E
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
Am
Sick is the mind of the motherfuckin' kid that's behind
Am E
All this commotion, emotions run deep as oceans, explodin'
Am E
Tempers flarin' from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin'
F E
Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin'
Am
Keep kickin' ass in the morning and takin' names in the evenin'
Am E
Leave 'em with the taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
Am E
See, they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out
F E
Look at me now! I bet you're prob'ly sick of me now
Am E
Ain't you, Mama? I'ma make you look so ridiculous now!
[Chorus]
Am E
I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)
E Am E
I said I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am E
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (Ha!)
[Verse 2]
Am
I got some skeletons in my closet
E
And I don't know if no one knows it
Am E
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
F E
I'ma expose it; I'll take you back to '73
Am
Before I ever had a multi-platinum-selling CD
Am E
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
Am E
My faggot father must've had his panties up in a bunch
F E
‘Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
Am
No, I don't, on second thought, I just fuckin' wished he would die
Am E
I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leavin' her side
Am E
Even if I hated Kim, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try
F E
To make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake
I maybe made some mistakes
Am
But I'm only human, but I'm man enough to face 'em today
Am E
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
Am E
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun
F E
‘Cause I'da killed 'em, shit, I woulda shot Kim and him both
Am
It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show
[Chorus]
Am E
I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry

But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)
E Am E
I said I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am E
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (uh)
[Verse 3]
Am E
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
Am E
Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin'
F E
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
Am
Witnessin' your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen
Am E
in' that someone's always goin' through her purse and shit's missin'
Am E
Goin' through public housing systems victim of Münchausen's Syndrome
F E
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
Am
'Til I grew up, now I blew up it makes you sick to your stomach, doesn't it?
Am E
Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, Ma?
Am E
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, Ma?
F E
But guess what, you're gettin' older now and it's cold when you're lonely
Am
And Nathan's growin' up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony
Am E
And Hailie's gettin' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful
Am E
But you'll never see her-she won't even be at your funeral (ha-ha!)
F E
See, what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong
Am
, do your song, keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom!
Am E
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get?!
Am E
You selfish , I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit!
F E
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
Am
Well, guess what, I am dead-dead to you as can be!
[Chorus]
Am E
I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)

Verse: Bm F#m Em Bm
If you wanna run away with me, I know a galaxy And I can take you for a ride
I had a premonition that we fell into a rhythm Where the music don't stop for life
Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes Shining just the way I like
If you're feeling like you need a little bit of company You met me at the perfect time
You want me, I want you, babyMy sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegadingYeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Chorus: Harmonize this!!
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me I'm levitating
You, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you all night, come on, dance with me I'm levitating
Verse 2:
I believe that you're for me, I feel it in our energy I see us written in the stars
We can go wherever, so let's do it now or never Baby, nothing's ever, ever too far
Glitter in the sky, glitter in our eyes Shining just the way we are
I feel like we're forever every time we get together But whatever, let's get lost on Mars
You want me, I want you, babyMy sugarboo, I'm levitating
The Milky Way, we're renegadingYeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Chorus:
Jam: You can fly away with me tonight You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah I'm levitating (woo)

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

I fell for the girl that's on TV
Verse 1-

Met her at a gala affair

She wore a green dress, and everybody was there

I felt out of place 'till she looked into my eyes

Shook her hand around 9 P.M.

Never had to be on a movie screen

To be the leading lady in all my dreams
Pre-chorus-

Shooby-doo-wop and scooby snacks

I met a fly girl, and I can't relax

At the risk of sounding cheesy

I think I fell for the girl on TV

Everybody knows her name

Wanna take her picture, and they're glad she came

I just want to call her up and make her laugh

Never had to be on a movie screen

To be the leading lady in all my dreams

You took my heart and you held it in your mouth

There is a hollow in me now

So I put my faith in something unknown

I'm living on such sweet nothing

But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold

I'm living on such sweet nothing

And it's hard to learn

Sweet nothing, sweet nothing

You're giving me such sweet nothing
E B G#m F#
E B G#m F#
It isn't easy for me to let it go
E
Cause

I've swallowed every single word
E
And
B G#m
Every whisper, every sigh
F# E
Eats away at this heart of mine
B G#m F#
And there is a hollow in me now
E B
So I put my faith in something unknown

I'm living on such sweet nothing

But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold

I'm living on such sweet nothing

And it's hard to learn

And it's hard to love

When you're giving me such sweet nothing

Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
G#m F#
You're giving me such sweet nothing

And it's not enough

But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life,
has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who
are people are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
you'll learn things you never knew you never knew

The rain storm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends

I wish I found some chords in an order that is new

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young

How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from

I'd make a candle out of it, if I ever found it
Am
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only ever sell one
F Dm
I'd give it to my brother because we have the same nose
Am
Same clothes, home grown, the stones thrown from the creek we used to roam
F Dm
But it would remind of when nothing really mattered
Am
Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the ladder

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'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

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
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
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

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt and you hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach

Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)

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)
Where is the love (The love)

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

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car

He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
G A
The other on my heart
D Em
I look around, turn the radio down
G A
He says baby is something wrong?
D Em G A
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...

Our song is the slamming screen door,

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
D Em G
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow

Cause it's late and your mama don't know

Our song is the way you laugh
G A
The first date ‚man, I didn't kiss her, but I should have‚Äù

And when I got home ... before I said amen

Asking God if he could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day

Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
G A
And lost and thrown away

Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
D Em
I almost didn't notice all the roses

And the note that said...

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
D A Em
Waited for something to come along

That was as good as our song

Sneaking out late, tapping on his window

When we're on the phone and he talks real slow

In the front seat of his car

I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
G
And I... wrote down our song
[Verse 1]
G D7 G
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
D A7 D
But the fire is so delightful,
Am E7 Am
And since we've no place to go,
D7 Bm G
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
[Verse 2]
G D7 G
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
D A7 D
And I brought some corn for popping.
Am E7 Am
The lights are turned way down low,
D7 Bm G
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
[Bridge]
D
When we finally kiss good night,
Em A7 D
How I'll hate going out in the storm.
D
But if you really hold me tight,
E7 A7 D
All the way home I'll be warm.
[Verse 3]
G D7 G
The fire is slowly dying,
D A7 D
And, my dear, we're still goodbye-ing,
Am E7 Am
But as long as you love me so.
D7 Am G
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

VERSE 1
D A
No matter what you say about love
Bm
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
G D
Sooner or later I get what I'm asking for
D A
No matter what you say about life,
Bm
I learn every time I bleed.
The truth is a stranger
G
My soul is in danger,
Em
I gotta let my spirit be free to,
G Em
Admit that I was wrong and then change my mind.
A
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind.
D A
I can't waste time so give me the moment
Bm
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done

Live every second like it was my last one
D A
Don't look back got a new direction
Bm
I loved you once needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
G D A Bm G
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo, I'll always have
VERSE 2
(chords are same as verse 1)
I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking ties.
When I look in the mirror,
Didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind.
Sorry but I gotta be strong and leave you behind
(repeat chorus)
BRIDGE-
Em G
If I live every moment
Em
Won't change any moment
A Em
Still a part of me and you.
G
I will never regret you
Em
Still the memory of you
A
Marks everything I do.
(repeat chorus)
G Em C D
G
I threw a wish in the well,
Em
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
C
I looked to you as it fell,
D
and now you're in my way
G
I trade my soul for a wish,
Em
pennies and dimes for a kiss
C
I wasn't looking for this,
D
but now you're in my way
G Em
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
C
Hot night, wind was blowin'
D
Where you think you're going, baby?
[Chorus]
G
Hey, I just met you,
Em
and this is crazy,
C
but here's my number,
D
so call me, maybe?
G
It's hard to look right,
Em
at you baaaabeh,
C
but here's my number,
D
so call me, maybe?
Repeat
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chaaase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
[Verse 2]
You took your time with the call,
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all,
but still, you're in my way
I beg, and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it,
but it's in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot not, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right,
at you baaaabeh,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chaaase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
at you baaaabeh,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys,
try to chaaase me,
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe?

Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turing red

You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed

You tell me about your past thinkin' your future was me
C G
And I know it's long gone and it was nothing else I could do

But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
C G Am F
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well

Hey you call me up again just to break me like a promise

After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own

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

says- Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least
A B E
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner watchin' the young girls dance

And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone reminding him of romance

the calliope crashed to the ground and she was...

Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

blinded by the light

Blinded by the light

She got down but she never got tight she's gonna' make it through the night.

Did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale,

And did you have to pay the fine

So I went hard like Medusa starin' at me,
I told her, Let's go! Let's blow this lame factory!
She said, What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want
Cuz you some kind of star...
No, I'm a comet, I
Just want you woman, hey
If I were you it would be me that I'd go home with, 3
The one and only
One thang you ain't considered,
I heard you when you told your girl, Oooh, he can get it...
Admit it!
You did it!
Let's hop a cab, and split it!
I'm kiddin'!
We both goin' to where you livin'!
Ha! I got you gigglin' like a piglet!
Oh, that's the ticket!
I hope you more like Anita Baker than Robin Givens.
No, I don't know that lady so let me quit it,
I'm just style-freein',
Freestylin' which I seldom do,
This is what I'm tellin' you,
To the bed I'm nailin' you,
Like I've been in jail for two,
Years and then they let me loose...
give me the green light
give me just one night
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
we could go all night
give me the green light
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now

It's late in the evening

She's wondering what clothes to wear

She puts on her make up

And brushes her long blonde hair

Do I look alright

And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

Because I see the love light in your eyes

How much I love you

It's time to go home now

[Verse 1]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A Dadd9
Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"
A Dadd9
Five days since you laughed at me saying
A Dadd9
"Get that together come back and see me"
A Dadd9
Three days since the living room
A Dadd9
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
A Dadd9
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A Dadd9
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry
(During the rap its just kind of a funky rock thing I dont really know what its
called but you just hold 000033 if it feels more comfortable you can play G but
you're really only going to strum the high strings)
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver
[Chorus]
F#m7 Esus4
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
A/C# Dadd9
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
F#m7 Esus4
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
A/C#
Can't understand what I mean?
Dadd9
Well, you soon will
F#m7 Esus4
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
A/C# Dadd9
I have a history of taking off my shirt
[Verse 2]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A
Threw your arms in the air
Dadd9
and said "You're crazy"
A Dadd9
Five days since you tackled me
A Dadd9
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
A Dadd9
It's been three days since the afternoon
A
You realized it's not my fault
Dadd9
not a moment too soon
A Dadd9
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
A Dadd9
And now I sit back and wait til you say you're sorry
(Again with the 000033 through the whole verse)
Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing
[Chorus]
F#m7 Esus4
How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
A/C# Dadd9
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
F#m7 Esus4
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
A/C#
Can't understand what I mean?
Dadd9
Well, you soon will
F#m7 Esus4
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
A/C# Dadd9
I have a history of losing my shirt
[Verse 3]
A Dadd9
It's been one week since you looked at me
A
Dropped your arms to your sides
Dadd9
and said "I'm sorry"
A Dadd9
Five days since I laughed at you and said
A Dadd9
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
A Dadd9
Three days since the living room
A
We realized we're both to blame,
Dadd9
but what could we do?
A Dadd9
Yesterday you just smiled at me
A Dadd9
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
[Outro]
A Esus4
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
A Esus4
It'll still be two days till we say wasabi

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.
E D/E
And it was life in the fast lane,
C/E A/E
life in the fast lane.

[Intro]
Yeah, Its been a ride
I guess i had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If youre trying to get out, just follow me
Ill get you there
[Chorus]
C Ab
Im not afraid to take a stand
Eb Bb
Everybody come take my hand
C
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Ab
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Eb
Just let you know that, youre not alone
Bb C
Hola if you feel that youve been down the same road
[Verse 1]
C
You can try to read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay em
Ab
But you wont take the sting out these words before I say em
Eb
Cause aint no way Imma let you stop me from causing mayhem
Bb
When I say Imma do somethin I do it,
C
I dont give a damn what you think,
Im doin this for me, so fuck the world
Ab
Feed it beans, its gassed up,
if you think yo' stoppin me
Eb
Imma be what I set out to be,
without a doubt undoubtedly
Bb
And all those who look down on me
Im tearing down your balcony
C
No if ands or buts, dont try to ask him why or how can he
Ab
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album,
Eb
hes still shittin whether hes on salary, paid hourly
Bb
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him
C
Whichever comes first,
for better or worse
Ab
Hes married to the game,
like a fuck you for Christmas
Eb
His gift is a curse,
forget the earth hes got the urge
Bb
To pull his dick from the dirt
and fuck the whole Universe
[Chorus]
C Ab
Im not afraid to take a stand
Eb Bb
Everybody come take my hand
C
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Ab
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Eb
Just let you know that, youre not alone
Bb C
Hola if you feel that youve been down the same road
[Verse 2]
Ok quit playin with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldnt have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know its a rap
You said you was king,
you lied through your teeth
For that, fuck your feelings,
instead of getting crowned youre getting capped
And to the fans, Ill never let you down again, Im back
I promise to never go back on that promise,
in fact, Lets be honest,
that last Relapse CD was ehhhh
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground
Relax, I aint going back to that now
All Im tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW
Cause I aint playin around
Theres a game called circle and I dont know how
Im way too up to back down
But I think Im still tryna figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didnt
This f-cking black cloud still follows,
me around But its time to exercise these demons
These motherfu-kers are doing jumping jacks now!
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I just cant keep living this way
So starting today, Im breaking out of this cage
Im standing up, Imma face my demons
Im manning up, Imma hold my ground
Ive had enough, now Im so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now
[Verse 3]
It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
And dont even realise what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
My World, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead
No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise
To focus solely on handling my responsibilitys as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldnt lift a single shingle on it
Cause the way I feel, Im strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause Im raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But Im too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and
[Chorus]
Im not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
Well walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, youre not alone
Holla if you feel that youve been down the same road
