Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
C/B
(Stay) up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end

With pretty eyed-boys girls die to trust

(I) can't resist the day--no, I can't resist the day...
Verse 2-

Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes

Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken

Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her

Summer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon...

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said

We were all in love, and we all got hurt

(I) sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
G
(Boy, we're) going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last...

That's enough, hold me up
Maybe i'm in doubt, oh oh
Now don't even think you know, no no
[chorus]
Verse 3-
Anything you wanna do, i'll be on it too
Everything you say, it's like a gold with a view
Business on the front, party in the back

I'm on the opposite side of it, truthfully
I know you want it so come and get it
Uh cheerio

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

E A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
E A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
E A
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
E A
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name
Chorus -
B B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
A C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
B A E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Other verses-
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe
Terence
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.

First things first I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of The way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I was broken from a young age Taking my sulkin' to the masses
Writing my poems for the few That look at me, took to me, shook at me, feelin' me
Singing from heartache from the pain Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain Seeing the beauty through the...
[Chorus]
Pain! You made me a, you made me a Believer, believer
Pain! You break me down and build me up Believer, believer
Pain! Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain! You made me a, you made me a Believer, believer
[Verse 3]
Third things third Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard Has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I was chokin' in the crowd Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin'
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like…
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Last things lastBy the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the futureThe blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus] But they never did, ever lived, ebbin' and flowin'
Inhibited, limited 'til it broke open and rained down It rained down, like…
Baby, what do you say we just get lost
Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause
I've got people in Boston, ain't your daddy still in Des Moines
We can pack up tomorrow, tonight let's flip a coin
Heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don't matter, long as we're goin'
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We can load what we own in the back of a U-Haul van
Couple of modern day Moses' searchin' for the promised land
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas
We could drive for a day and then we'll take a look at the map
Oh, heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don't matter, long as we're goin'
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We're gonna get out of here if we gotta ride a Greyhound bus
Boy, we're bound to outrun the bad luck that's tailin' us
I was out with the boys, catchin' up at a neon light
Didn't know 'til we walked in, it was karaoke night
She was in a circle of girls, chasin' a shot with a lime
She was laughin', they were darin' her to get on the mic
One of 'em walked up and turned in her name
Next thing I knew, man, she was up on the stage, singin'
"Heads Carolina, tails California"
Maybe she'd fall for a boy from South Georgia
She's got the bar in the palm of her hand
And she's a '90s country fan like I am
Hey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarter
I'd drive her anywhere from here to California
When this song is over, I gotta find her
'Cause she had me at "Heads Carolina"
Yeah, she knew every word by heart, didn't need no screen, no
I was raisin' my glass up for her, I saw her smilin' at me, yeah
She had me down in the front by the end of verse two
Like there wasn't no-one else in the room, we were singin'
"Heads Carolina, tails California"
Maybe she'd fall for a boy from South Georgia
She's got the bar in the palm of her hand
And she's a '90s country fan like I am
Hey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarter
I'd drive her anywhere from here to California
When this song is over, I gotta find her
'Cause she had me at "Heads Carolina"
Yeah, I bought her a round, and we talked 'til the lights came on
I still see that girl every time I hear that song
"Heads Carolina, tails California"
Maybe she'd fall for a boy from South Georgia
She's got the bar in the palm of her hand
And she's a '90s country fan like I am
Hey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarter
I'd drive her anywhere from here to California
When this song is over, I gotta find her
'Cause she had me at "Heads Carolina"
Yeah, she had me at "Heads Carolina" (somewhere greener, somewhere warmer)
(Heads Carolina, tails California)
Yeah (somewhere greener, somewhere warmer)
(Heads Carolina)
(Somewhere together, I've got a quarter)
(Heads Carolina, tails California)
Tuning- Standard, capo 3rd fret
Em C
Taking me higher than I've ever been before
D Am
I'm holding it back, just want to shout out, give me more
Em C
You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
D Am
You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning
Em C
Not even I can't find a way to stop the storm
D Am
Oh baby, it's out of my control, it's going home
Em C
But you're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
D Am
You're just another day that keeps me breathing
Em C
Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
D Am
Baby, don't stop me, hideaway with me some more
[Here is where the bass comes in. It works well with the same Em-C-D-Am
progression, or you can try Em for 4 counts, C for 2, and D for 2. The
C and D are syncopated like the bass line. I don't know. Either works.
Stick with one all the way through the ooh aahs.]
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
[Now back to the verse Em-C-D-Am progression.]
You send me the shiver and the spine that might overflow
You're bringing me closer to the edge, I'm letting go
You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning
Putting my head into the clouds I'm floating home
When you can be going I can't find a way to stop
You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
You're just another day that keeps me breathing
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
Baby, don't stop me, hideaway with me some more
Hideaway with me some more
Bringing me higher than I've ever been before
I'm holding it back, just want to shout it, give me more
You're just a hideaway, you're just a feeling
You let my heart escape, beyond the meaning
Not even I can find a way to stop the storm
Oh baby, it's out of my control what's going on
You're just a chance I take to keep on dreaming
You're just another day, that keeps me breathing
You're a day that keeps me dreaming
Ooh, aah, aah, ooh, ooh, aah, aah, ooh
Baby, I love the way that there's nothing sure
Baby, don't stop me, hide away with me some more
Hideaway with me some more

Where pretty girls are, you'll know that I'm around

I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same

They call me the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer

I roam round and round and round and round
Verse 2-
There's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
And Janie is the girl that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I tear open my shirt and show Rosie on my chest

I roam round and round and round and round

Live life without a care

Verse 3-
I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place; I roam from town to town

I roam round and round and round and round

When a heart can be broken

It may seem to you
That i`m acting confused
When you`re close to me
If i tend to look dazed
I`ve read it someplace
I`ve got cause to be
There`s a name for it
There`s a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me

Have some courtesy

Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politesse
A E
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Remember those walls I built

Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more

Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo (halo) halo I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo I can see your halo (halo) halo

Burnin' through my darkest night

Gravity can't begin
To pull me back to the ground again

And I turned on those KC lights and drove all night
Cuz it felt so right her and I man we felt so right

and grabbed my guitar
and strung a couple cords
and sang from the heart

And all of my cars start with the push up a button

Switched the number to my phone
So you never could call it

Don't need my name on my show
You can tell it I'm ballin'

Had a really good game but you missed your last shot

Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Telling me
That she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer [x3]
[Chorus]
And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop [x4]
And i just can't bring myself away
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop [x4]
I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tounge
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
She says come closer
(Repeat Chorus)
Come Closer [x7]
I just can't stop no [x4]
(Repeat Chorus)
And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop [x5]
Come Closer

I'm in my penthouse half naked
I cooked this meal for you naked
So where the hell you at
Just one shot left of this drink, in this glass
Don't make me break it
I wish that you were me
So you could feel this feeling
I never broke one promise, and I know when you're not honest
Now you got me yelling that's because I'm jealous
[Hook-]
If you keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine
Oh I'm jealous
If you keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine
Oh I'm jealous
[Post-Hook-]
Sometimes I want to walk in your shoes
Do the type of things that I never ever do
So I take one look in the mirror and I say to myself
Baby girl you can't survive like this
[Verse 2-]
Take it one step further
Freakum dress out my closet
'Yonce fillin' out this skirt
I look damn good I ain't lost it
And I ain't missed a beat
Boy you been hanging out at tonight
I'm staying out 'til tomorrow
Dancing on them tables ain't got no cares, no sorrow
I ran into my ex
Said what up to his besties
Now we reminiscing how we used to flex in Texas
Don't be jealous
[Hook]
[Post-Hook]
[Bridge-]
And I hate you for your lies and your covers
And I hate us for making good love to each other
And I love making you jealous but don't judge me
And I know I'm being hateful but that ain't nothing
That ain't nothing
I'm just jealous
I'm just human
Don't judge me

[Verse 1] F# C# G#m B (8X)
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me /
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her /
Thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead /
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running /
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb /
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets /
You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus] F# B Cdim B (3X)
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
F# E B
Only shooting stars break the mold
[Verse 2] F# C# G#m B (4X)
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older /
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim /
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] F# C# G#m B (8X)
Somebody once asked, could I spare some change for gas
/I need to get myself away from this place /
I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself /
And we could all use a little change /
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running /
Didn't make sense not to live for fun Y
our brain gets smart but your head gets dumb /
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets /
You'll never know if you don't go, go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus 3

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

You got a fast car.

And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;

And I work in a market as a checkout girl.

I know things will get better-
Em D
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Cmaj7 G
We'll move out of the shelter
Em D
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
[Pre-Chorus]

Baby when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.
F C F C
I was soft inside, there was something goin' on
C
You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain,
F C
ev'ry beat of my heart We got something goin' on
[Pre-Chorus] Fmaj7 Fm C /
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, uh huh
Makin' love with each other, uh huh
[Chorus] C F Dm Dm7
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
C F C /
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
Dm C
From one lover to another, uh huh
[Verse]
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Ev'rything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin' sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear, this could be the year
For the real thing
[Pre-Chorus] Fmaj7 Fm C /
No more will you cry. Baby I will hurt you never
We start and end as one in love forever we can
Ride it together, uh huh
Makin' love with each other, uh huh
[Chorus]
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her momma's reins
You know playing blind man's bluff is a little baby's game
You pick up little dynamite - I'll pick up little gun
Together we're gonna go out tonight and make that highway run

You don't have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don't wanna be your son

Dynamite's in the Belfry baby playing with the bats
Little gun's downtown in front of Woolworths trying out his attitude on the cats
Papa's on the corner - waiting for the bus
Mommas home in the window - waiting up for us
She'll be there in that chair 'till they wrestle her upstairs cause you know we
ain't gonna come
I ain't here on business baby I'm only here for fun
And Rosie you're the one
[Chorus-]
F Bb F C F Bb
Rosalita jump a little lighter - Senorita come sit by my fire
I just wanna be your lover ain't no lie - Rosalita you're my strong desire
Jack-the -rabbit and weak-knee'd-Willie you know they're gonna be there
Sloppy Sue and big-bones-Billy they'll be comin' up for air
They're gonna play some pool - skip some school
act real cool - stay out all night - it's gonna be alright
(C) Gm C Csus4 C Csus2 C
So Rosie come out tonight - oh baby come out tonight
Windows are for cheaters - chimneys for the poor
Closets are for hangers - winners use the door
So use it Rosie - that's what it's there for
(CHORUS)
C Gm
And I know your momma she don't like me 'cuz I play in a rock and roll band
Dm Am
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand

Your poppa lowered the boom - he locked you in your room - I'm comin' to lend a
hand

I'm coming to liberate you - confiscate you - I want to be your man

Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny

C11 C C11 C C11 C C11 C (quickly)
Because the record company Rosie - just gave me a big advance
And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the lord had mercy
My machine she's dud stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey
Hold on tight stay up all night Rosie I'm coming on strong
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms
I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way
There's a little cafe - where they play guitar all night and all day
You can hear 'em in the back room strummin'
So hold tight baby 'cuz don't you know daddy's coming

The world will never ever be the same, And you’re to blame.

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

She keeps me warm

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

Even if I wanted to

My love, my love, my love
