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

Am Em
Somewhere there's speaking
Bm C
It's already coming in
Am Em Bm C
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
Am Em
You never could get it
Bm C
Unless you were fed it
Am Em Bm C
Now you're here and you don't know why
//It's all the same pattern here//
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
Chorus
Am G
He's everything you want
Bm C
He's everything you need
Am G
He's everything inside of you
D C
That you wish you could be
//Same here again
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
//Just the same as b4 chorus
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
Back to Chorus
//Same as the chorus above
Em C
But you'll just tight
C
And watch it unwind
Em D C
It's only what you're asking for
Em C
And you'll be just fine
Em C
With all of your time
Em D C
It's only what you're waiting for
//Do as the top
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
//Do as the chorus
Chorus
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
Verse 1: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | C
You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life,
has a spirit, has a name
Verse 2: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | G
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
[Chorus] Em Bm C
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Em Bm
or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
C D Em /
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
C / D /
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
C D G /
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Verse 3: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | C
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
and for once never wonder what they're worth
Verse 4: G Em G Bm Am D | Em G | G
The rain storm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
in a circle in a hoop that never ends
[Bridge] G C Bm Em Am D
How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down then you'll never know
[Chorus] Em Bm C
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Em Bm
or whether we are white or copper skin
C D Em
You need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
C D
You need to paint with all the colors of the wind
Em Bm
You can own the earth and still all you own is earth until
C D G you can paint with all the colors of the wind

I walked to the door with you, the air was cold
Am F
But something about it felt like home somehow, and I,
C G
Left my scarf there at your sisters house
Am F-once
And you still got it, in your drawer, even now
C G Am F

Oh your sweet dispositon and my wide eyed gaze

We're singing in the car getting lost upstate

You almost ran the red cause you were lookin' over at me
C G Am F
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turing red
Am F
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed
C G
And your mothers telling stories 'bout you on a t-ball team
Am F
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
Am G F G Am G
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed too

And maybe we got lost in translation maybe I asked for too much
Am F
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
Am F
So casually cruel in the name of being honest

Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it

I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still tryin' to find it
C G
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Am F
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
C G
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
Am F
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
C G Am F
You cant get rid of it cause you remember it all too well yeah

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

Have you read the YouTube comments lately

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

No freedom till we're equal, damn right I support it

And press play, don't press pause

Progress, march on

With the veil over our eyes

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

Strip away the fear

Underneath it's all the same love
About time we raised up

Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
Verse 4-
As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me that past but that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always
Chorus 2 [chorus chord progression continues to fade]-
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and sea just up and fly away
Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Chorus 3-
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through
Until the day that you are me and I am you
[repeat first two lines of chorus 1]
[piano solo]
Interlude-
We all know sometimes life's hate and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where He wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this Earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great-grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you...
[repeat choruses 1, 2, 3]
Always...
Intro- G, Cadd9
Verse 1-
G Cadd9
We both lie silently still, in the dead of the night.
G Cadd9
Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside.
G Cadd9
Was it something I said, or something I did,
G Cadd9
did my words not come out right?
D C
Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried, but I guess that's why they say
CHORUS
G Cadd9
Every rose has its thorn.
G Cadd9
Just like every night has its dawn.

Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.

Listen to our favorite song, playing on the radio.
G Cadd9
Well the DJ says loves a game of easy come and easy go.
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
But I wonder, does he know, has he ever felt like this.
D C
Well I know that you'd be here right now if I
coulda let you know somehow, I guess
[Chorus]
Em D C G
Though it's been awhile now, I can still feel so much pain.
Em D C G
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains
G-Cadd9
Verse 3-
G Cadd9
I know I coulda saved our love that night if I'd known what to say.
G Cadd9
Instead of making love we both made our separate ways.
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And now I hear you've found somebody new, and that I never meant that much to you.
D C
To hear that tears me up inside, and to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess

LYRICS!!!
Never Let You Go
There's every good reason for letting you go
She's sneaky and smoked out
And it's starting to show
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
You say that I've changed
Well maybe I did
But even if I changed
What's wrong with it
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
And our friends are gone and gone
And all the time moves on and on
And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong
If there's a reason, it's lost on me
Maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see
I never let you go
I never let you turn around, our back on each other
That's a good idea, break a promise to your mother
Turn around your back on each other
I remember the stupid things, the mood rings, the bracelets and the beads
Nickels and dimes, yours and mine, did you cash in all your dreams
You don't dream for me, no
You don't dream for me, no
But I still feel you pulse like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
The girl is like a sunburn
I would like to save
She's like a sunburn
|A | |G | |
|D | |A | |
|A | |
The lights are on, but you're not home
|G | |
Your mind is not your own
|D | |
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
|A | |
Another kiss is what it takes
|A | |
You can't sleep, you can't eat
|G | |
There's no doubt – you're in deep
|D | |
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
|A | |
Another kiss is all you need
CHORUS
|F#m |D |
You like to think that you're immune to the stuff ,
|A | |
oh yeah
|F#m |D |
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enuff
|D | |
You're gonna have to face it you're addicted to luv

Laying Next to Me
Verse 1-
Must be my imagination, this feeling, this sensation
A serene hallucination, when you're laying next to me
No rules, no limitations, only minor hesitation
Cause I can't resist temptation when you're laying next to me
Chorus-
Every time I see your smiling face
I get a rush, I have to taste you lips,
Your body must be traced
My heart begins to race
Cause you're the only one I see
You're the only one I need
So please forgive me when I can't believe
You're laying next to me
Verse 2-
You're a treasure and a wonder, that I stumbled to discover
A spell I've fallen under and you're laying next to me
I can't help but want to pleasure, feel your body feel the pressure
Take you on a wild adventure when you're laying next to me
Chorus-
Solo-

I'll be needing stitches
[Verse]
Am G C F
Just like a moth drawn to a flame

If I should die before I wake,

Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh...

My heart won't move, it's incomplete.
Am Cadd9
Wish there was a way that I could make you understand...

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Am
Can't live, can't breathe with no air

Right off the ground to float to you

There's no gravity to hold me down,

But somehow I'm still alive inside

You took my breathe, but I survived

I don't how, but I don't even care

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

I don't want you to go, I'm feeling you way more than you know
Cause you, you, you intrigue me
Something I gotta say, without pushing you away
So how do I express, my life is such a mess
If only you knew, if only I could confess
to you, you stole my heart, so why is this so hard
You caught me off-guard, my love is who you are, baby you still are
Tell me why when I tell you how I feel inside,
I feel like I'm doing something wrong
Maybe it's cause of where you are, so near but yet so very far
So come back to where you belong
We've all made mistakes but live and learn just take
Your turn baby return to me
Wasting time with you is all that I want to
I'm dropping all these clues, why can't you see?
That you belong with me
Splashing right through the sea of love
End of story
I, I, I, I wish you would
Think of what you've done is this what you really want
Cause she she she she is no good, not good enough for you
Look at what she's already put you through
Tell me what love really is does it even exist
After the months we've missed, you're still first on my list
I know that this could work, I know we both deserve
I love you more than her, our love is for ever, baby forever
I know you say you need a break so here I will patiently wait
till the day that you come home
Cause I can see us happily, I'll give you all the time you need
I'll give you anything you want
We are both in love so much sometimes it hurts,
I know you feel the way I do
So I will give you time baby, I will let this ride
Cause soon I know you'll realize
That you belong with me
Splashing right through the sea of love

VERSE 2
Father says your mother's right, she's really up on things.
Before we married, mommy served in the WACs in the Philippines.
Now I had heard the WACs recruited old maids for the war
But mom isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.
CHORUS
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay
VERSE 3
Whatever happened to all this season's loosers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking 'Where'd they disappear?'
Then I woke up, mom and dad are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.
CHORUS
Mommy's all right, daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird
Surrender, Surrender, but don't give yourself away....away, away--ay-ay-ay

This is the time when you need a friend
Bb F
You just need someone near
Dm C
I'm not looking forward to the night
Bb F
I'll spend thinking of you when you're not here
Am Bb
How many times will I think about the things
F
I'd like to do
Am Bb
Always denied the right to live my life the way I want
G C
I want to share it with you
Chorus-
Dm
Close your eyes
C Bb
I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams
Dm
Close your eyes
C Bb
I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams
I'll think of your kiss as the days roll by
And I'll write the words you love
What I can't say in a letter
Will just have to wait till I get home
There's not much time to tell you
Half the things I should
Only that I'm so glad I fell in love with you
And I'd do it again if I could

[Verse 1]
A E B C#m
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
A E B C#m
Midnights become my afternoons
A E B
When my depression works the graveyard shift
C#m A E B C#m
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-chorus 1]
A E B
I should not be left to my own devices
C#m A
They come with prices and vices
E B C#m
I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time)
A E B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
C#m A
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
Cause you got tired of my scheming
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B
I’ll stare directly at the sun
C#m
But never in the mirror
A E
It must be exhausting
B C#m
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Verse 2]
A E B C#m
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
A E B C#m
And I’m a monster on the hill
A E B C#m
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
A E B C#m
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-chorus 2]
A E B C#m A
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
E B C#m
Like some kind of congressman (Tale as old as time)
A E B
I wake up screaming from dreaming
C#m A
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving
E B
And life will lose all its meaning
C#m
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
At tea time, everybody agrees
A E B
I’ll stare directly at the sun
C#m
But never in the mirror

It must be exhausting

Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumental]
A E B C#m
[Bridge]
A E B C#m
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
A E B C#m
She thinks I left them in the will
A E B C#m
The family gathers around and reads it and then someone screams out
A E B C#m
“She’s laughing up at us from hell!”
A E
It’s me, hi,
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E
It’s me, hi
B C#m
I’m the problem, it’s me
A E B C#m
It’s me, hi, everybody agrees

Everybody agrees…
[Chorus]
A E
It’s me, hi

I’m the problem, it’s me

At tea time, everybody agrees

I’ll stare directly at the sun

F Am
I thought I saw a man brought to life
Bb
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
F Am
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
Bb
You don't seem to know, seem to care, what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
Dm
There's nothing where he use to lie
C
My conversation has run dry
Am
That's what's going on...
C
Nothing's fine
F
I'm torn
F C Dm
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
Bb7 F
I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
C Dm
Illusion never changed into something real
Bb7 F
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
C Dm C Bb7
You're a little late, I'm already torn
F Am
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Bb7
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawl beneath my veins and now
Dm
I don't care, I have no luck
C
I don't miss it all that much
Am
There's just so many things
C
That I can't touch
F
I'm torn
F C Dm
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
Bb7 F
I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn

You're a little late, I'm already torn

There's nothing where he use to lie

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel

I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor

Illusion never changed into something real
Bb7 F
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
C Dm
I'm all out of faith, This is how I feel
Bb7 F
I'm cold and I am shamed, bound and broken on the floor
C Dm C Bb7
You're a little late, I'm already torn

Torn... Ohhhh...

VERSE 2 (Repeat as in VERSE 1)
In all of creation, all things great and small
You are the one that surpasses them all
More precious than any diamond or pearl
They broke the mould when you came in this world
And I'm trying hard to figure out, just how I ever did without
The warmth of your smile, the heart of a child
That's deep inside, must be purified
CHORUS
Never thought... Miracle
CHORUS
Yeah, I was just hangin' out
Some little west coast town
Found a bar out by the sand
So I made my way in
First thing that caught my eye
Like nothin' I ever seen
Sunburned auburn hair
A California dream
Yeah, she was shakin' them hips
To some old Motown song
I couldn't say a thing
So I sang along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin'
Yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
So I just hung around
This little west coast town
I dropped by every night
I stayed 'til closin' time
My little mystery
That girl is killin' me
So I put on a song
Just to sing along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I've gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin', yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
She's got me mesmerized
She's all I'm thinkin' 'bout
All I think about, think about, think about
So I'm right here, right now
Hummin' this little song
If I could say a thing
I'd want you to know
You were a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, you're movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind) oh
I got to know your name, I got to see you again
And if you're listenin', listenin', listenin'
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Girl, I'm hangin' 'round this little town, yeah
(Where you goin', baby?)
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?

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

And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been living with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken

Hey, tell me if I'm crazy

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)

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

And in my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find

You're with a winner so baby you can't loose

Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
Don't, don't, don't, don't
You're gettin' over him
Go on and close the curtains
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight (oh)
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish - I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
And let's delay our misery
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away (ohh it's true)
It ain't easy to say good-bye
Darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone

[Verse]
F C
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
D# A#
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
F C
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
D# A#
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
F C
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
D# A#
'cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
F C
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
D# A#
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me
[Chorus]
F C
Don't go chasing waterfalls
D#
Please stick to the rivers
A#
And the lakes that you're used to
F
I know that you're gonna have it your way
C
Or nothing at all
D# A#
But I think you're moving too fast
[Verse]
F C
Little precious has a natural obsession
D# A#
For temptation but he just can't see
F C
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
D# A#
But all he can say is baby it's good to me
F C
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
D# A#
But he doesn't recognize his own face
F C
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
D# A#
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me?
[Chorus]
F C
Don't go chasing waterfalls

Please stick to the rivers

I know that you're gonna have it your way

But I think you're moving too fast
Come on, come on
[Verse]
F
I seen a rainbow yesterday
C
But too many storms have come and gone
D#
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray?
A#
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
F
And like His promise is true
C
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
D#
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
A#
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
F
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
C
With such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
D#
Who's to blame for tootin' 'caine into your own vein?
A#
What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
F
You claim the insane and name this day in time
C
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
D#
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
A#
In hopes of comin' true believe in yourself the rest is up to me and you
[Chorus]
F C
Don't go chasing waterfalls
D#
Please stick to the rivers
A#
And the lakes that you're used to
F
I know that you're gonna have it your way

Or nothing at all

But I think you're moving too fast

Don't go chasing waterfalls

Original Key E B C#m A Jade's Key G D Em C
Verse 1: A few days before he turned 80
He was sittin' out back in a rocker
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
And in between sips of coffee
He poured this wisdom out
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Chorus: Buy dirt
Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard all grow up"
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt
Verse 2: Before you get caught on that ladder
Let me tell you what it's all about
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out
Chorus

G D
So I was lost
G D A Bm
Go count the cards before you go
G D
to the Holland road
G D A Bm
With your heart like a stone you spare no time in lashing out
G D
And I knew your pain
G D A
and the effect of my shame but you
G D Bm A
cut me down
G D Bm A
you cut me down
D (start strumming here, use STRUMMING chords)
G D
And I will not tell
G D A Bm
the thoughts of hell that carry me home
G D
from the holland road
G D A Bm
With my heart like a stone i put up no fight
G D
to your callous mind
G D A
And from your corner you rose to
G D Bm A
cut me down
G D Bm A
you cut me down
D G D G D A Bm
G D
So I hid my love
G D
and little did I know
A Bm
that would not be the end
G D
from the holland road
G D A Bm
Well i rose and i rose and i paid less time
G D
to your callous mind
G D A
and I wished you well as you
G D Bm A
cut me down
G D Bm A
you cut me down
G D
But I still believe
G D
though there's cracks, you'll see
G D A Bm
When I am on my knees I will still believe
G D
And when I have hit the ground
G D
neither lost nor found
G D A Bm
If you'll believe in me I will still believe
Bm
G D Bm A
Aaaaaah Haaaaaa
Aaaaaah Haaaaaa
G D G D
And I will still believe though there's cracks you'll see
G D A Bm
when I am on my knees I will still believe
G D
And when I have hit the ground

Neither lost nor found
G D A Bm
If you'll believe in me I will still believe

Am
I'm full of regret
F E
For all things that I've done and said
Am F E
And I don't know if it'll ever be ok to show
Am
My face 'round here
F E
Sometimes I wonder if I disappear
F E Am
Would you ever turn your head and look
See if I'm gone
F
Cause I fear
E Am E
There is nothing left to say to you
C
That you wanna hear
D
That you ought to know
F
I think I should go
E Am
The things I've done are way too shameful
Am
You're just an innocent
F E
A helpless victim of a spiders web
Am
And I'm an insect
F E
Going after anything that I can get
Chorus-
F E Am
So you better turn your head and run
and don't look back
F
Cause I fear
E Am
There is nothing left to say
E
To you
C
That you wanna hear
D
That you ought to know
F
I think I should go
E Am
The things I've done are way too shameful
Am E
And I've done you so wrong
C
Treated you bad
D
Strung you along
F
Oh shame on myself
E Am
I don't know how I got so tangled
Am E C D F E Am
oooOOOooooHHHhhhhh
Repeat Chorus X 2
Ad Lib- Am E C D F E Am
E
He was a hard headed man. He was brutally handsome, and she was
terminally pretty. She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the
A7
heart of the cold, cold city. He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude.
E B7
They said he was ruthless; they said he was crude. They had one thing
A7
in common; they were good in bed. She'd say, Faster, faster. The lights
are turnin' red.
E Tacet E Tacet E Tacet
Life in the fast lane surely make you lose your mind. Life in the
E Tacet
fast lane, mmmm.
Are you with me so far?
E
Eager for action and hot for the game, the coming attraction, the drop
of a name. They knew all the right people; they took all the right
pills. They threw outrageous parties; they paid heavily bills.
A7 E
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face. She pretended not
B7
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.

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

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

Pale blue colored eye

Presents the circle, and puts the glory out to hide, hide
[Chorus]
E Bsus2 F#
Whoa I feel it, comin' back again

-VERSE-
Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
There's a thousand words that I could say to make you come home, yeah.
Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
Seems so long ago you walked away and left me alone.
Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
And I remember what you said to me, you were acting so strange.
Emaj7 Bmaj7 D#m7 C#m7
And maybe I was too blind to see that you needed a change.
G#m/D# F#/C#
Was it something I said to make you turn away,
B F#/A# F#/A# Em
to make you walk out and leave me cold? If I could just find
Bm/F# F#
a way to make it so that you were right here, right now.
-CHORUS-
Em Bm
I've been sitting here, can't get you off my mind,
Em Bm
I'm try'n' my best to be a man and be strong.
Em Bm
I drove myself insane wishing I could touch your face,
G/D F# Em
but the truth re-mains your gone, (you're-----)
Bm Em Bm
gone, (baby, you're) gone, (girl, you're gone. Baby girl, you're)
Em Bm *2 verse adds F#7(#9) before bridge*
gone, (you're) gone. (You're...___)
-BRIDGE-
Bm F#m Bm Em F#
What will I do if I can't be with you? Tell me, where will I turn to?
G A Bm A/C# Em Bm
Baby, who will I be? Now that we are apart, am I still in your heart?
A Bm E F#
Baby why don't you see that I need you hear with me? Oh----
-VERSE 2-
Now, I don't wanna make excuses, baby.
Won't change the fact that you're gone.
But if there's something that I could do,
Won't you please let me know?
The time is passing so slowly now,
Guess that's my life without you.
And maybe I could change my everyday,
But, baby, I don't want to.
So I'll just hang around and find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you.
And I know in my heart,
You can't say that you don't love me too.
Please say you do, yeah.
(to Chorus)
