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…

Waiting on that time

And I want to tell you so much
Am
I love you
I long to see the sunshine in your hair.
And tell you time and time again
How much I care.
I sometimes feel my heart will overflow.
Hello, I've just got to let you know.
'Cause I wonder where you are.
And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is there someone loving you?
Tell me, how to win your heart,
For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying
I love you.

[Capo 3]
Intro- / G - F C / /
Listen, boy, I don't want to see you let
A good thing slip away
You know I don't like watching anybody make
The same mistakes I made
She's a real nice girl and she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
/ G - / F C / - / Bm Bb Am - / Cm G Am AmC /
Oh, listen, boy, I'm sure that you think
You got it all under control
You don't want somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now and you'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know
... / Cm G Am GA /
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept that you're for real
Tell her about it, tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her, let her know how much she means
/ D - F#m - / Bm - Em EmA / -
Listen, boy, it's not automatically
A certain guarantee
To insure yourself you've got to provide
Communication constantly
When you love someone you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to reassure
{As Refrain}
Tell her about it, let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it everyday before you leave
Pay her some attention, give her something to believe
'Cause now and then she'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken for so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
/ F Dm Eb - / Gm C D - / 1st / Gm C A - /
Listen, boy, it's good information
From a man who's made mistakes
Just a word or two that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul, she's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do
{Refrain}
Tell her about it, tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it, the girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
/ As intro /
Na na na na

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
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)

We all need a light in the dark

Verse 1: Em A9 C9/G D9/F#
I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears.
You really had me going, wishing on a star.
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far,
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn.
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born /
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide.
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why

I say goodbye...
Chorus: C G C G
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,

And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day;
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah.
Verse 2: Em A9 C9/G D9/F#
Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain, now I can't figure out.
What is this attraction, it's only filled by pain?
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,

Will it ever change?

Do you remember girl

Even before all the fame and
People screaming your name
Girl I was there when you were my baby

Even though we used to argue it's alright
I know we haven't seen each other
In awhile but you will always be my boo

I was in love with you when we were younger
You were mine my boo

You will always be my boo

Yes I remember boy
Cause after we kissed

I was there and you were my baby

A murderer
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:

[Verse]
D A
I know it's been some time
Bm D
But there's something on my mind
G A
You see, I haven't been the same
D A
Since that cold November day
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately
Bm A
So here I am
D A
And can you please tell me, oh
[Chorus]
D A
Where do broken hearts go
Bm D
Can they find their way home
G D
Back to the open arms
A
Of a love that's waiting there
D A
And if somebody loves you
Bm D
Won't they always love you
G D
I look in your eyes
A D
And I know that you still care, for me
[Verse]
I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind
Bm A
So here I am
D A
And can you please tell me, oh
[Chorus]
D A
Where do broken hearts go
Bm D
Can they find their way home
G D
Back to the open arms
A
Of a love that's waiting there
D A
And if somebody loves you
Bm D
Won't they always love you
G D
I look in your eyes
A D
And I know that you still care, for me
Bm A
And now that I am here with you
G D
I'll never let you go
B F#m
I look into your eyes
F#
And now I know, now I know
[Chorus]
----CAPO 1 (If you don't go up a capo, the chords are C# G# A#m and F#)

Where do broken hearts go

Chorus:
Send me your location Let's focus on communicating
'Cause I just need the time and place to come through
Send me your location Let's ride the vibrations
I don't need nothing else but you (I don't need nothing else but you)
Verse: Jade
At times I wonder why I fool with you / But this is new to me, this is new to you
Initially, I didn't wanna fall for you / Gather my attention it was all for you, so don't
Take advantage, don't leave my heart damaged
To understand that things go a little bit better when you plan it, oh
Chorus:
Bridge:
Ride, ride, ride Come and vibe with me tonight
I don't need nothing else but you (I don't need nothing else but you)

Love is a banquet on which we feed.
G A D A
Come on now, try and understand
Bm G A
the way I feel when I'm in your hand.
D G A
Take my hand; come under cover.
C Bm F#
They can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now.
Chorus-
Bm G A
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Bm G A Bm
Because the night belongs to lust.
G A
Because the night belongs to lovers.
Bm G A Bm
Because the night belongs to us.
Second verse-
Have I doubt when I'm alone?
Love is a ring on the telephone.
Love is an angel disguised as lust,
here in our bed until the morning comes.
Come on now, try and understand
the way I feel under your command.
Take my hand as the sun descends.
They can't touch you now, can't touch you now, can't touch you now.
Repeat chorus
Ending-
D A D A Bm A
With love we sleep; with doubt the viscious circle turn and turns.
D A Bm A D A
Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
G D G
I believe in time, too real to feel,
Bm D G F#
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.
Repeat chorus and fade.

To get to me
What would you say
To have your way

Tell all the boys
Or keep it low

Would you turn away
Or play me off
Or would you stay

Be eternity

Is off the chain
Is perfect now
But will it change

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

And then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know

That I used to know

G F
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey

I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
G D
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind

Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
C
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
G F
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
C G
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
F
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
G D
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
F C
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
G D
Tell me did you sail across the sun
F C
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
G D
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star

One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

| E Bsus2 | F# | x2
[Verse 1]
E Bsus2 F#
Lightning crashes..... a new mother cries
E Bsus2 F#
Her placenta falls to the floor
E Bsus2 F#
The angel opens her eyes.... The confusion sets in
E Bsus2 F#
Before the doctor can even close the door
E Bsus2 F#
Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
E Bsus2 F#
Her intentions fall, to the floor
E Bsus2 F#
The angel closes her eyes, the confusion that was hers
E Bsus2 F#
Belongs now to the baby down the hall
[Chorus]
E Bsus2 F#
Whoa I feel it, comin' back again
E Bsus2 F#
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
E Bsus2 F#
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
E Bsus2 F#
I can feel it
[Verse 2]
E Bsus2 F#
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
E Bsus2 F#
In this moment she's been waiting for
E Bsus2 F#
The angel opens her eyes
E
Pale blue colored eye
Bsus2 F#
Presents the circle, and puts the glory out to hide, hide
[Chorus]
E Bsus2 F#
Whoa I feel it, comin' back again
E Bsus2 F#
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
E Bsus2 F#
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
E Bsus2 F#
I can feel it
E Bsus2 F#
I can feel it

Playing Notes-
1. Just one bass guitar (looped) and one rhythm guitar. As with many classics,
this song is very easy to play. Just get the rhythm down and you are set.
2. I am omitting lyrics since the whole song is based on this simple arrangement.

What ya got to say
Fm
Daydream
D# C#
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
Cm (D#) Fm
For a couple of hours
D# C# Cm (D#)
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day
[Lupe Fiasco]
As I spy from behind my giant robot's eyes
I keep him happy 'cause I might fall out if he cries
Scared of heights so I might pass out if he flies
Keep him on autopilot 'cause I can't drive
Room enough for one I tell my homies they can't ride
Unless they sittin on the shoulders but that's way too high
Let's try not to step on the children
The news cameras filmin
This walkin project buildin
Now there's hoes sellin hoes like right around the toes
And the crackheads beg at about the lower leg
There's crooked police that's stationed at the knees
And they do drive-bys like up and down the thighs
And there's a car chase goin on at the waist
Keep a vest on my chest
I'm sittin in my room as I'm lookin out the face
Somethin to write about
I still got some damage from fightin the whitehouse, just a
Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day
[Lupe Fiasco]
Now come on everybody, let's make cocaine cool
We need a few more half naked women up in the pool
And hold this MAC-10 that's all covered in jewels
And can you please put your titties closer to the 22s?
And where's the champagne? We need champagne
Now look as hard as you can with this blunt in your hand
And now hold up your chain slow motion through the flames
Now cue the smoke machines and the simulated rain
But not too loud 'cause the baby's sleepin
I wonder if it knows what the world is keepin
Up both sleeves while he lay there dreamin
Me and my robot tip-toe 'round creepin
I had to turn my back on what got you paid
I couldn't see half the hood on me like Abu Ghraib
But I'd like to thank the streets that drove me crazy
And all the televisions out there that raised me, I was
Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day
Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

VERSE 1-
Em D
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Am C
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
Em D
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
Am C
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
Em D
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
Am C
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
Em D
He's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now
Am C
The clock's run out, times up, over, blaw!
Em D
Snap, back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Am C Em
Oh, there goes Rabbit he choked, he's so mad but he won't
D Am
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows
C Em
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope
D Am
He knows that but he's broke, he so stagnant he knows
C
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Em C
Back to the lab again, yo
Am
This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment
C
And hope it don't pass him (X3)
CHORUS-
C
Well this is the music
Am Em D
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
C Am
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Em D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo X2
Em, D
VERSE 2-
Em D
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
Am C
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
Em D Am
As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring
C Em
But superstardom's close to post mortem
D Am
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
C Em
He blows it's all over, these h**s is all on him
D Am C
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
Em D
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
Am C
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
Em D
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
Am C
These h**s don't want him no mo', he's cold product
Em D
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
Am C Em
He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds
D Am
I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on
C
Da da dum, da dum da da da da
CHORUS
Em,D
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf****n' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped, writin' the next cipher
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these *** damn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin' on and too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothaf****n' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shot
Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

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

Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man

I wanna love some body, love somebody like you

It's where all the cowboy folk go to boot scootin' boogie
[Verse 2]
I got a good job I work hard for my money
When it's quittin' time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck and let the horses run
I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-away
B B A E E F# G G#
Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie

[Verse 3]
The bartender asks me, says, "Son what'll it be?"
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
The dance floor's hoppin' and it's hotter than the Fourth of July
I see outlaws, in-laws, crooks and straights all out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie
[Chorus]
