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

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
D Em
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...
D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G A
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
D Em G
When you're on the phone and you talk real slow
A D
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Em
Our song is the way you laugh
G A
The first date ‚man, I didn't kiss her, but I should have‚Äù
Em A Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
D G
Asking God if he could play it again
D Em G A
D Em G A
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day
D Em
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
G A
And lost and thrown away
D Em G A
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
D Em
I almost didn't notice all the roses
G A
And the note that said...
D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window

When you're on the phone and you talk real slow

D Em
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
G A
In the front seat of his car
D Em
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
G
And I... wrote down our song
[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.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,

F#add9 C#
FM station on the outskirts
G# A#m7
Blue jeans after years of shift work
F#add9 C# G#
Always fading out like I always knew they would
F#add9 C#
The strings on this guitar
G# A#m7
The first love lost on a young heart
F#add9 C# G#
Those things are gonna break after the getting's good
D#m7 C#/F F#
'Cause the new wears off and they get to getting old
D#m7 C#/F F# G#
Yeah, sooner or later, time's gonna take its toll
[Chorus]
F#add9
They say nothing lasts forever
C#
But they ain't seen us together
C#/C A#m7 G#
Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes
F#add9
Just a t-shirt in the kitchen
C#
With no make-up and a million
C#/C A#m7 G#
Other things that I could look at my whole life
F#add9 G#
A love like that makes a man have second thoughts
F#add9 G#
Maybe some things last forever after all

They say nothing lasts forever

But they ain't seen us together

Or the way the moonlight dances in your eyes

And I know there'll be that moment
C# C#/C
The good lord calls one of us home and
A#m7 G#
One won't have the other by their side
F#add9 G#
But Heaven knows that, that won't last too long
F#add9 G#
Maybe some things last forever after all

The road I have travelled on

It's littered with broken dreams

When all of my hopes were dying

Her love kept me trying

She doesn't have to hide

The pain that she's been through

When she cries at night

And she doesn't think that I can hear her

She's always been there for me

She'd be there by my side

I don't know how she takes it

Just once I like to make it

Then there'll be tears of joy

That'll fill her loving eyes

When she cries at night

Singer Songwriter
You're not the first boy to offer the world
I think you're cool but I'm not that kind of girl
If I wanted to sleep my way to the top
I'd a done been there
I'm not just another girl singer songwriter
Playing in a cafe waiting for her big break, no
Any other girl would be lucky you found her
Fall over in love, but I cannot because of who I am
I'm a good girl, at least I'm trying to be
Until some dumb fool brings out the in me
Cause if I wanted to sleep my way to the top
Believe me I'd a done been there
Chorus
You think as a girl I'm used to getting everything that I want
But I worked very hard for every single thing that I'd got
I studied and that's why I'm smart
I pour my love into my art
And no one can take that part of who I am
Chorus

Treated me kind

Sweet destiny

Carried me through desperation

F
Would find me eventually
CHORUS-
Bm
I had a vision of love
F C
And it was all that you've given to me
C
Prayed through the nights
G
Felt so alone
D
Suffered through alienation
F
Carried the weight on my own
C
Had to be strong
G
So I believed
D
And now I know i've succeeded
F
In finding the place I conceived

Feel so alive

The answer that heaven has sent down to me

You treated me kind, (yeah)

Sweet destiny, (you know that you did)

And i'll be eternally grateful

Holding you so close to me (prayed through the nights)

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?
Am
You know I gave you the world
C G D
You had me in the palm of your hand
Am
So why your love went away
C G D
I just can't seem to understand
Am
Thought it was me and you babe
C G
Me and you until at the end

But I guess I was wrong
Pre Corus;

Don't want to think about it

Don't want to talk about it

I'm just so sick about it

Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it

Feeling the blues about it
G
I just can't do without ya
D Am
Tell me is this fair?
Corus-

Is this the way it's really going
D Am
Is this how we say goodbye?

Should've known better when you came around

Repeat....Same Thing
Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong
Repeat Pre corus And Corus
Am C D
What goes around comes around.
Am C

You shouldn't know that
What goes around comes around
You shouldn't know that
Repeat Pre corus and Corus

You spend your nights alone
C
And he never comes home
G
And every time you call him
D
All you get's a busy tone
Am
I heard you found out
C
That he's doing to you
G
What you did to me
D
Ain't that the way it goes
Same thing-
You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved
D Am C G
And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right
D Am
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

I thought I told ya, hey

Intro
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
(slide on D string)
I love the way you lie
Verse
Em
I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
C
And right now, there's a steel knife in my windpipe
G
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
Dadd11
As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
Em
High off of love, drunk from my hate,
C
it's like I'm huffin' paint and I love it, the more I suffer, I suffocate
G
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates
Dadd11
Me, she fuckin' hates me, and I love it, Wait!
Em
Where you going? I'm leaving you. No you ain't,
C G
Come back. We're running right back, here we go again, it's so insane
Cuz when it's going good, it's going great
Dadd11
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
Em
But when and it's bad, it's awful, I feel so ashamed,
C
I snap Who's that dude?, I don't even know his name
G
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I guess I don't know my own strength
Chorus
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I love the way you lie
Verse 2
Em
You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe when you with 'em?
C
You meet, and neither one of you even know it hit 'em
G
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah them chills used to get 'em
Dadd11
Now you gettin' fuckin' sick of lookin' at 'em
Em
You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothin' to hurt 'em
C
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit 'em
G
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
Dadd11
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments when you're in 'em
Em
It's the face that's the culprit, controls you both
C
So they say, you'd best to go your separate ways
G
Guess that they don't know ya cuz today, that was yesterday,
Dadd11
Yesterday is over and it's a different day,
Em
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her,
C
next time you'd show restraint, you don't get another chance
G
Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Dadd11
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Chorus
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I love the way you lie
Verse 3
Em
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
C
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
G
But your temper's just as bad as mine is; you're the same as me
Dadd11
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Em
Baby please come back, it wasn't you. Baby it was me,
C
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
G
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Dadd11
All I know is I love you too much, to walk away though
Em
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
C
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
G
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Dadd11
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Em
Next time? There won't be no next time
C
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
G
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back. I know I'm a liar,
Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again,
Ima tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
Just gonna
Chorus
Em C
Stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,

There's only one way down

Where's my snare?

I have no snare in my headphones
Am E Am E
There you go, yeah
F E Am
yo, yo
[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
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 (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!)
E Am E
I said I'm sorry, Mama

I never meant to hurt you

Want Not Need
I'm pretty good at being on my own
If I want it I go get it, if I want it I go get it
When I met you I thought you were gold
Wrapped inside of a deep dark soul
But now I get it, now I get it, now I get it
He's just trying to be a man
Trying to do the best he can
All he needs is one more chance
He'll make it good again
But if you really want a man
Quit being that backup plan
Let him learn to stand
You are something that I want not need
Meant as a compliment you could not see
It would be nice if you would call
And we can kick it like we did when we were kids
But now I get it, now I get it, now, I get it
Chorus
I'm very vocal with my feelings, we all know
You have a different way of dealing, let it show
Cause this ain't my way of healing, to let you go but
now I know, or maybe I don't
Maybe I never will
Maybe I won't
all I know
is this bridge could use a little more
than a couple of minor seven chords
but hey you ain't round to help me anymore

Haha, Luda!
She can go lower than I ever really thought she could Face down, ass up
The top of your booty jiggling out your jeans, baby pull your pants up
I like it when I see you do it, better than I've ever seen I done befo'
A lot of, women, drop it to the ground, but how low can you go?
Lower than your mama's ever seen it in her lifetime
Never would've imagined it, not even in her right mind
Practice in front of that mirror, now you doing it on the dance flo'
Mad 'cause I can't get with you, chick, just show me how to dance, oh
I may not wanna get low, so I'm posted up, kinda like a player do
But if you come to the crib, then I might show you girls a thang or two
Yeah, I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
I be like knick, knack, patty, wack
Oh, where my kitty cat?
Give a dog a bone
How many licks does it take 'til I get to the center and let a realer take you home?
I can make this show stop, soon as he hear this fo' pop
From ATLANTA all the way down to yo' block
Put the needle on the record
And I make her get lower than a Lamborghini
And if she really get low, then I'ma shoot a video and put it all on TV
'Cause I like that French vanilla (French vanilla)
And the caramel (and the caramel)
But when it comes to chocolate (when it comes to chocolate)
I know that very well
Asian persuasion, no discrimination, I love how they seem to please us
I wanna taste them butter Rican pecan peanut butter cups like Reese's Pieces
'Cause I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, well, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]
Drop it, hit it, dump it, split it
Don't, stop, get it, get it
Put it in reverse just to back it up
Let me put some Luda in it
Show me whatchu working with, I'll show you some of this bank, roll
Yeah, you a superstar, there's just one thang I gotta know, so
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]
I can go low (go low), lower than you know
Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]

I was raised off of Rural Route 3,
A
out past where the blacktop ends,
D
We'd walk to church on Sunday mornin'
G
and race barefoot back to Johnson's fence
D
That's where I first saw Mary,
A
On that roadside pickin' blackberries,
Bm G A D
that summer I turned a corner in my soul down that red dirt road
[Chorus]
D
It's where I drank my first beer,
A
It's where I found Jesus,
Bm
Where I wrecked my first car
G
I tore it all to pieces,
D
I learned the path to heaven,
A
It's full of sinners and believers,
Bm
Learned that happiness on earth,
G
Ain't just for high achievers,
Em F#m
I've learned, I've come to know,

there's life at both ends of that red dirt road
[Verse]
D
Her daddy didn't like me much,
A
In my shackled up GTO,
D
I'd sneak out in the middle of the night,
G
Throw rocks at her bedroom window,
D
We'd turn out the headlights,
A
Drive by the moonlight,
Bm G
Talk about what the future might hold,
A D
Down that red dirt road,
[Chorus]
D
It's where I drank my first beer,
A
It's where I found Jesus,
Bm
Where I wrecked my first car
G
I tore it all to pieces,
D
I learned the path to heaven,
A
It's full of sinners and believers,
Bm
Learned that happiness on earth,
G
Ain't just for high achievers,
Em F#m
I've learned, I've come to know,

Feels like I found a long lost friend,

It's where I drank my first beer,
