So I went hard like Medusa starin' at me,
I told her, Let's go! Let's blow this lame factory!
She said, What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want
Cuz you some kind of star...
No, I'm a comet, I
Just want you woman, hey
If I were you it would be me that I'd go home with, 3

Freestylin' which I seldom do,
This is what I'm tellin' you,
To the bed I'm nailin' you,

Years and then they let me loose...

[Eminem]
By the time you hear this I will have already spiraled up
I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up
If I was you, I would duck, or get struck like lightening,
Fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up, point em' skyward uh
Had a dream I was king, I woke up, still king...
This rap game's nipple is mine for the milking,
Till nobody else even fucking feels me, till' it kills me
I swear to god I'll be the fucking illest in this music
There is or there ever will be, disagree?
Feel free, but from now on I'm refusing to ever give up
The only thing I ever gave's using no more excuses
Excuse me if my head is too big for this building
And pardon me if I'm a cocky prick but you cocks are slick
Poppin shit on how you flipped ya life around, crock-o-shit
Who you dicks try to kid, flipped dick, you did the opposite
You stayed the same, cause cock backwards is still cock you pricks
I love it when I tell em shove it
Cause it wasn't that long ago when Marshall sat, luster lacked, lustered
Cuz he couldn't cut mustard, muster up nothing
Brain fuzzy, cause he's buzzin', woke up from that buzz
Now you wonder why he does it, how he does it
Wasn't cause he had buzzards circle around his head
Waiting for him to drop dead, was it?
Or was it, cause them es wrote him off
Little hussy ass, cause f-ck it, guess it doesn't matter now, does it
What difference it make?
What it take to get it through your thick skulls
As if this aint some bullshit
People don't usually come back this way
From a place that was dark as I was in
Just to get to this place
Now let these words be like a switch blade to a haters rib cage
And let it be known from this day forward
I wanna just say thanks cause your hate is what gave me the strength
So let em bic's raise cause I came with 5'9′ but I feel like I'm
6'8″

This one's for you and me, living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters
[Royce Da 5'9]
By the time you hear this I'll probably already be outtie
I advance like going from toting iron to going and buying 4 or 5 of the
Homies the iron man Audi
My daddy told me slow down, boy, you goin to blow it
And I aint gotta stop the beat a minute
To tell Shady I love him the same way that he did Dr Dre on the Chronic
Tell him how real he is or how high I am
Or how I would kill for him for him to know it
I cried plenty tears, my daddy got a bad back
So it's only right that I right till he can march right into that post
Office and tell em to hang it up
Now his career's Lebron's jersey in 20 years
I'll stop when I'm at the very top
You shitted on me on your way up
It's 'bout to be a scary drop
Cause what goes up must come down
You going down on something you don't wanna see like a hairy box
Every hour, happy hour now
Life is wacky now
Used to have to eat the cat to get the pussy
Now I'm just the cats meooww, ow
Classic cow, always down for the catch weight like Pacquiao
Ya'll are doomed
I remember when T-Pain aint wanna work with me
My car starts itself, parks itself and autotunes
Cause now I'm in the Aston
I went from having my city locked up
To getting treated like Kwame Kilpatrick
And now I'm fantastic
Compared to a weed high
And y'all s just gossipin' like es on a radio and TV
See me, we fly
Y'all buggin out like Wendy Williams staring at a bee-hive
And how real is that
I remember signing my first deal and now I'm the second best I can deal
With that
Now Bruno can show his ass, without the MTV awards gag

Lyrics-
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand
Bm A G A
'Cause I am just a girl, little ol' me
Bm A G A
Don't let me out of your sight
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
Bm A G A
So don't let me have any rights
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
Bm A
'Cause I am just a girl
G A
I'd rather not be
Bm A
'Cause they won't let me drive
G A
Late at night
Bm A
I'm just a girl
G A
Guess I'm some kind of freak
Bm A
'Cause they all sit and stare
G A
With their eyes
Bm A
I'm just a girl
G A
Take a good look at me
Bm A G A
Just your typical prototype
G C (the G and C are palm muted)
Oh...I've had it up to here!
Bm-A-G-A thing 4 times>
G C (G and C muted)
Oh...I am making myself clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Bm
Your rule of thumb
A G A
Makes me worry some
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
Bm
What I've succumbed to
A G A
Is making me numb
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, my apologies
Bm A G A
What I've become is so burdensome
Bm A G A
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Bm A G A
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison
G C (G's and C's muted throughout)
Oh...I've had it up to!
G C
Oh...I've had it up to!
G C Bm
Oh...I've had it up to here!
(slow down on the last G and let the final Bm ring out)

I watched the world foat to the dark side of the moon.
After all I knew it had to be somethin to do with you.
I really don't mind what happens now and then,
as long as you'll be my friend at the end.

You call me strong, you call me weak, but still your secrets I will keep,
you took for granted all the times I never let you down.
You stumble again and bump your head, if not for me then you'd be dead.
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground.

And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room - I think I love you!

I think I love you so what am I so afraid of I'm afraid that I'm not

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
I've lived all over this town
/ Am - - AmAm7 / -

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now
/ E - - - / -
Transmit the message to the receiver
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
Everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
I might not ever get home
{Refrain}
...This ain't no mudd club, or CBGB...
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play
{As refrain}
Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard
I ain't got no time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
I don't know what I look like
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
We make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
You ought to get you some sleep
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
The burning keeps me alive

A G
They call me the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
D
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
'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round
Bridge-
A
Well, I roam from town to town
Live life without a care
I'm as happy as a clown
B7 A7
With my 2 fists of iron but I'm goin' nowhere
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
And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
'Cause I'm the Wanderer, yeah, Wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round

3. (rapping) in D
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
causing grief in human relations.
It's a turf war on a global scale,
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.
See, it's not about races, just places, faces.
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
I've seen the bright get duller,
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.

[Verse 1]
A G6
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
A G6
I was layin' in bed
A G6
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
D
If her hair was still red.
A G6
Her folks they said our lives together
A G6
Sure was gonna be rough
A G6
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
D
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
E F#m
And I was standin' on the side of the road
A D
Rain fallin' on my shoes
E F#m
Heading out for the East Coast
A D E
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 2]
A G6
She was married when we first met
A G6
Soon to be divorced
A G6
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
D
But I used a little too much force.
A G6
We drove that car as far as we could
A G6
Abandoned it out West
A G6
Split up on a dark sad night
D
Both agreeing it was best.
E F#m
She turned around to look at me
A D
As I was walkin' away
E F#m
I heard her say over my shoulder,
A D E
We'll meet again someday on the avenue,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 3]
A G6
I had a job in the great north woods
A G6
Working as a cook for a spell
A G6
But I never did like it all that much
D
And one day the ax just fell.
A G6
So I drifted down to New Orleans
A G6
Where I happened to be employed
A G6
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
D
Right outside of Delacroix.
E F#m
But all the while I was alone
A D
The past was close behind,
E F#m
I seen a lot of women
A D E
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
A G6
She was workin' in a topless place
A G6
And I stopped in for a beer,
A G6
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
D
In the spotlight so clear.
A G6
And later on as the crowd thinned out
A G6
I's just about to do the same,
A G6
She was standing there in back of my chair
D
Said to me, Don't I know your name?
E F#m
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
A D
She studied the lines on my face.
Em F#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
A D Em
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
A G6 A G
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
A G6
I thought you'd never say hello, she said
D
You look like the silent type.
A G6
Then she opened up a book of poems
A G6
And handed it to me
A G6
Written by an Italian poet
D
From the thirteenth century.
E F#m
And every one of them words rang true
A D
And glowed like burnin' coal
E F#m
Pourin' off of every page
A D E
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 6]
A G6
I lived with them on Montague Street
A G6
In a basement down the stairs,
A G6
There was music in the cafes at night
D
And revolution in the air.
A G6
Then he started into dealing with slaves
A G6
And something inside of him died.
A G6
She had to sell everything she owned
D
And froze up inside.
E F#m
And when finally the bottom fell out
A D
I became withdrawn,
Em F#m
The only thing I knew how to do
A D E
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 7]
A G6
So now I'm goin' back again,
A G6
I got to get to her somehow.
A G6
All the people we used to know
D
They're an illusion to me now.
A G6
Some are mathematicians
A G6
Some are carpenter's wives.
A G6
Don't know how it all got started,
D
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
E F#m
But me, I'm still on the road
A D
Headin' for another joint
E F#m
We always did feel the same,
A D E
We just saw it from a different point of view,
G D A Asus A Asus
Tangled up in blue.

Made damn sure that Pilate
A E
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

I stuck around St. Petersburg
A E
When I saw it was a time for a change

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank

Held a general's rank
A
When the Blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game
E
I watched with glee
D
While your kings and queens
A
Fought for ten decades
E
For the Gods they made
E
I shouted out
D
Who killed the Kennedys?
A
When after all
E
It was you and me
E D
Let me please introduce myself
A E
I'm a man of wealth and taste
D
And I laid traps for troubadours
A E
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Is the nature of my game
oh yeah, get down, baby
solo

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

E D
Just as every cop is a criminal
A E
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
D
Just call me Lucifer
A E
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
E
So if you meet me
D
Have some courtesy
A E
Have some sympathy, and some taste
D
Use all your well-learned politesse
A E
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
B
Pleased to meet you
E
Hope you guess my name
B
But what's puzzling you
A E
Is the nature of my game

But there's something on my mind
G A
You see, I haven't been the same

Is that I need you desperately

Where do broken hearts go

Can they find their way home

Back to the open arms

Of a love that's waiting there

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

So here I am

G Bm G
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies.

Dm G7 C Am
Ohhh... and she never gives out,
Bb E E7 A
and she never gives in, she just changes her mind.
2) She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe.
And she'll take what you give her as long it's free.
She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me.
CHORUS
3) And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden.
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.
But she brings out the best and the worst you can be.
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a women to me.
CHORUS
4) She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel.
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool.
But she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree.
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
but she's always a woman to me.

Ooh, when, your lips undress me, hooked on your tongue

Ooh love, your kiss is deadly, don't stop
[Chorus]

All along I've been coming for ya (For you)
And I hope it means something to you

Verse 1: G / C / G / C /
Been flyin' solo for so long
Nobody's singin' the harmony
Up there just me and my shadow
No bass, no guitar, no tambourine
[Pre-Chorus 1] Am | Em | Am | Em | Am | D
And I found you like a melody You were singin' in the same key as me
We had 'em dancin' in the streets

C | D | G D Em | C | D | G /
I don't wanna be a one man band
I don't wanna be a rolling stone, alone
Puttin' miles on a run-down van
Baby, we can take our own show on the road
I'll lay down the beat, you'll carry the tune
We'll get tattoos, and we'll trash hotel rooms
Baby, take my hand
I don't wanna be a one man band
[Verse 2] G / C / G / C /
I wanna run down your wild dreams
And I wanna chase every high with you
Count every rip in these old jeans
We'll never learn how to sing the blues

If I'm gonna be famous Girl, I wanna be famous with you
We got our own little groove

Hope, hope there's a conversation
D G
we both admit we had it good but
Em7 Em D
until then it's alienation, I know, that much is understood

And I realize
CHORUS-
G C
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
Em D C
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
G C
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
Em D C
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
Em D G Em7 Em D G
No matter what they say, I'm not over you
Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
You took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I I'm a boomerang doesn't matter how you throw me
Turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you
CHORUS-
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth.
No matter what I say, I'm not over you

And if I had the chance to renew

You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do

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…

Blue told me remind you s
Fuck that shit y'all talking 'bout, I'm the
Caught up in all these lights and cameras
But look what that shit did to Hammer
Goddammit it I like it
Bright lights is enticing but look what it did to Tyson
All that money in one night, thirty mill for one fight
But soon as all the money blows, all the pigeons take flight
Fuck the fame, keep cheating on me, what I do, I took her back
Fool me twice, that's my bad, I can't even blame her for that
Enough to make me wanna murder, momma please just get my bail
I know nobody to blame, Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself

And baby, it's amazing I'm in this maze with you
Dm
I just can't crack your code

One day you screaming you love me loud

The next day you're so cold

One day you here, one day you there, one day you care
A
You're so unfair, sipping from your cup 'til it runneth over, Holy Grail
[Verse 2- Jay-Z]
Dm
Now I got tattoos on my body, psycho es in my lobby
I got haters in the paper, photo shoots with paparazzi
Can't even take my daughter for a walk, see 'em by the corner store
I feel like I'm cornered off enough is enough, I'm calling this off
Who the fuck I'm kidding though, I'm getting high, sitting low
Sliding by in that big body, curtains all in my window
This fame hurt but this chain works, I think back you asked the same person
If this is all you had to deal with, deal with, this shit ain't work
This light work, camera snapping, my eyes hurt
s dying back where I was birthed, fuck your IRIS and the IRS
Get the hell up off your high horse
You got the shit that s die for, dry yours
Why you mad, take the good with the bad
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water
You still alive, still that
you survived, you still getting bigger
Living the life, Vanilla wafers in a villa
Illest alive, Michael Jackson's Thriller

You get the air out my lungs whenever you need it
And you take the blade right out my heart, just so you can watch me bleed
Gm A A# Dm
I still don't know why, why I love you so much, yeah
And you play this game in spite to drive me insane

And looking for that

Magic rainbow

Until I let go

Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn

Now I’m coming alive

And I’ll taste every moment

To be more than a name

Or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time
C# G#
This is the time of my life
Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
So I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
D# A#m
And I’m out on the edge of forever
D#
Ready to run
D# A#m
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
D#
My arms open wide
F
My face to the sun
I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life

G Em C D
Love hurts, Love scars, Love wounds and mars
C/Dsus2 G Em C D
Any heart not tough or strong enough
C/Dsus2 G B Em
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
B C D C/Dsus2
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
G F C G
Love hurts, Ooo-oo Love hurts
G Em C D
I'm young, I know, But even so
C/Dsus2 G Em C D
I know a thing or two - I learned from you
C/Dsus2 G B Em
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
B C D C/Dsus2
Love is like a flame It burns you when it's hot
G F C G
Love hurts, Ooo-oo Love hurts
Em B Em B Em B Em
Some fools think of happi-ness, blissful-ness, to-gether-ness
A A
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
A D
They're not foolin' me
C/Dsus2 G B Em
I know it isn't true I know it isn't true
B C D C/Dsus2
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
G F C G F C G
Love hurts, Ooo-oo Love hurts Ooo-oo love hurts

Tastes like strawberries
On a summer evening
And it sounds just like a song
I want more berries
And that summer feeling
It's so wonderful and warm
Pre Chorus:
Breathe me in, breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without
I'm just thinking out loud
I don't know if I could ever go without
[Chorus] Watermelon sugar high 4X
[Verse 2]
Strawberries
On a summer evening
Baby, you're the end of June
I want your belly
And that summer feeling
Getting washed away in you
Breathe me in, breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without
[Chorus]
[Pre-Bridge]
I just wanna taste it I just wanna taste it
Watermelon sugar high
Verse 2 again:
Tastes like strawberries
On a summer evening
And it sounds just like a song
I want your belly

I don't know if I could ever go without

Intro: [A] [D] [A]
It's been some [D] years ago
Since I left from my [A] island
To go to the [E] mainland,
Like the old folks would [A] say; [Asus4] [A]
As I walked up the [D] gangway
And I stood on the [A] starboard
And I gazed on the [E] harbour
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
Chorus:
Summer days they were [D] warmer then,
When we laughed with the [A] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [E] fog rolled in
Then they made up the [A] hay; [Asus4] [A]
It's been more than a [D] long, long time
Since I held you and [A] called you mine,
And we waited for the [E] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
To wake in the [D] early morn
To the sound of the [A] old fog horn,
And wait for the [E] men to return
With their boats in the [A] bay; [Asus4] [A]
All these things I don't [D] see no more
When I lived on the [A] old cape shore,
And I gazed on the [E] boats on the moors
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
Chorus:
Summer days they were [D] warmer then,
When we laughed with the [A] old fishermen,
And they cursed when the [E] fog rolled in
Then they made up the [A] hay; [Asus4] [A]
It's been more than a [D] long, long time
Since I held you and [A] called you mine,
And we waited for the [E] sun to shine
On a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
Solo:
As long as my [D] heart
Doesn't break from those old [A] memories,
Old lovers and [E] old use-to-bes,
I'll come home for to [A] stay; [Asus4] [A]
I can still hear the [D] ocean roar
Through the hills on the [A] old cape shore,
But there's no fishing [E] boats anymore,
But it's a grey foggy [A] day. [D] [A]
Chorus:
Summer days they were [D] warmer then,

[Alternate B/w G and D chords]
In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners
At the hotel Flamingo wearing black market shoes
Am [Alternate B/w G&D]
This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon
Am
No one wants to be lonely
Am [Alternate B/w G and D]
No one wants to sing the blues
She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder
Christ, whatcha doing with him
When you could be dancing with me
She stirs the ice with her elegant finger
I want to be what she's drinking
Yeah, I just want to be
CHORUS-
C G
I saw you first
D G
I'm the first one tonight
C G
I saw you first
D G
Don't that give me the right
C G
To move around in your heart
D
Everyone was looking
But I saw you first
[Alternate between G & D]
On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo
Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car
She flies like a bird over her shoulder
She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star
CHORUS
In the bone colored dawn
Me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'
The radio is playing
She left her shoes out in the back
He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky
He just made that story up; there ain't no girl like that
CHORUS and fade

I took a walk on a Saturday night,
Em7
Fog in the air,
Cadd9
Just to make my mind seem clear

Where do I go from here?

I see my breath pushing steam through the air,
Em7
Shaking hands run through my hair,
C D/F
My fears, where do I go from here?

Is it my fault, is it my fault?
Cadd9
We've been missing each other,
D/F
We've been missing each other.
G Em7
My fault, is it my fault?
Cadd9
We've been missing each other,

We've been missing each other.
G
Walking down to the waters edge,
Em7 Cadd9
Asking why I'm here instead of home,
D/F
Now I stand alone.
G
I stop to stare at the ocean side
Em7
I'm breathing in just to feel it's side
Cadd9
With his
D/F
Like you were here with me.

Is it my fault, is it my fault?
D/F
We've been missing each other,
We've been missing each other.

My fault, is it my fault?

We've been missing each other,

Oh it's on the warmest night

It's in the brightest light,

It's when the world is moving.

It's when I need you most,

My best friend gave me the best advice

He said each day's a gift and not a given right

Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind

And try to take the path less traveled by

That first step you take is the longest stride
[Chorus]

If today was your last day

and tomorrow was too late
A
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

Every second counts 'cause there's no second try

So live like you'll never live it twice

Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day

and tomorrow was too late
A
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?
A G
Would you call old friends you never see?

Reminisce of memories
A
Would you forgive your enemies?

Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?

Swear up and down to God above
A E7
That you finally fall in love

You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
E
Regardless of who you are
E D
So do whatever it takes
A E
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
E D
Let nothin' stand in your way
A E
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
[Chorus]
E G
If today was your last day
D
and tomorrow was too late
A
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
A G
Would you live each moment like your last?
D
Leave old pictures in the past
A
Donate every dime you have?
A G
Would you call old friends you never see?
D
Reminisce of memories
A
Would you forgive your enemies?
A G
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
D
Swear up and down to God above
A
That you finally fall in love
A E
If today was your last day

Rythym-
B
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
E
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
B
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
E
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
B
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said Son if it was up to me
E
Went down to see my V.A. man
| B | B | B | B | E | E | E | E |
He said Son, don't you understand
B
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
E
They're still there, he's all gone
B
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
| E | E | E | E |
I got a picture of him in her arms now
B
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
E
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E B
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.
E
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now

There now, steady love,
