[Verse 1]
A D
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
E D A
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
D
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
E D A
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
A D
I met the man I call my dad when I was 5 years old
E D A
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
D
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
E D A
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes... And then
[Chorus 1]
Bm E
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
A D
How we went from somethings missing to a family
Bm E F#m
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
A D A
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
[Verse 2]
A D
I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
E D A
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more
D
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
E D A
Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now
[Chorus 2]
Bm E
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
A D
How we've gone from somethings missing to a family
Bm E F#m
Looking through the glass I think about the man who's standing next to me
D E A
And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
Bm A
You know he didn't have to be

you can use the second fill in the intro where it goes c-csus4
(verse 1)
G
Sittin on a bench at West Town mall,
C-Csus4
He sat down in his overalls, and asked me,
C-Csus4
You waitin on a woman,
G
I nodded yes n' how bout you,
C-Csus4
He said son since 1952, I've been,
C-Csus4
Waitin on a woman
(chorus)
Am (G)
When I picked her up for our first date,
F
I told her I'd be there at eight,
C G C
And she came down the stairs at 8-30,
Am (G)
She said I'm sorry that I took so long,
F
Didn't like a thing that I tried on,
C F C
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty,
Dm C-F
Yea she'll take her time, but I don't mind,
C-Csus4= 2x's
Waitin on a woman
(verse 2)
He said the wedding took a year to plan,
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous,
Waitin on a woman
And he nudged my arm like old men do, and said
I'll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it,
Waitin on a woman
(chorus)
Am (G)
And I don't guess we'd been anywhere
F
She hasn't made us late I swear,
C G C
Sometimes she does it just cause she can do it,
Am (G)
Boy it's just a fact of life,
F
it's be the same with your young wife,
C F C
Might as well go on and get used to it,
Dm C-F
she'll take her time, cause you don't mind,
C
Waitin on a woman
( lead - G - C - G - C )
(pre-cho)
Am (G)
I've read somewhere statistics show,
F
The mans always the first to go,
C G C (C/B)
And that makes sense cause I know she won't be ready,
Am (G)
So when it finally comes my time,
F
And I get to the other side,
C F C
I'll find myself a bench if they got any,
Dm C-F
I hope she takes her time, cause I don't mind,
C
Waitin on a woman,
Dm C-F
Honey take your time, cause I don't mind,
C-Csus4
waitin on a woman,
Outro - G - C
Dm A
I'm sleep-ing, and right in the middle of a good-dream,
Dm G
When all at once I wake-up, from something that keeps knock-ing-at-my-brain,
Dm
Be-fore I go insane I hold my pillow to my head,
C G Dm
And spring-up in my bed, screaming out the words I dread - I think I love you!
Dm A
This morn-ing, I woke up with this feel-ing,
Dm G
I didn't know how to deal-with, and so I just decided to myself
Dm
I'd hide-it-to-myself and never talk about it,
C G Dm
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room - I think I love you!
G D
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of I'm afraid that I'm not
A Bm
sure of a love there is no cure for
A D
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
E A
though it worries me to say that I've never felt this way
(Harpsichord) solo
G C D A
I don't know what I'm up against, I don't know what it's all about
A D A
I got so much to think about, Heeeeeeeey
Chorus
Dm A
Be-lieve me you really don't have to wor-ry
Dm G
I only wanna make you hap-py and if you say hey go away I will
Dm
But I think better still I better stay around and love you
C G Dm
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face do you think you love me?
G D G D
I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you,
G D G D
I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you...

That house on the hill with the four-plank around it

Every last breath 'til the last star is counted
F#m
Just say the word, girl
E
Paint me your perfect

I won't quit 'til the good Lord says my work is done

Like a faded out song on the radio, done

Like the cowboy gets the girl when the credits roll

I'd give you a lifetime of days in the sun

Whatever you need and you want

I won't stop 'til it's done

She is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

She is trying but the canyon's ever widening in the depths of her cold heart

So she sets out on another misadventure just to find

She's another two years older

Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
F C Dm Bb
She is yearning for shelter and affection that she never found at home

She is searching for a hero to ride in, to ride in and save the day

And in walks her prince charming and he knows just what to say
C F Bb
Momentary lapse of reason and she gives herself away
Chorus

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

[Verse 1]
Am F
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Am F
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall
Am F
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood
Am F
Cries out My God they killed them all!
C F
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For something that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell but one time
Am F C G
He could have been the champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 2]
Am F
Three bodies lyin’ there does Patty see
Am F
And another man named Bello, movin’ around mysteriously
Am F
I didn’t do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
Am F
I was only robbin’ the register, I hope you understand
C F
I saw them leavin’, he says, and he stops
G C F
One of us had better call up the cops
Dm C
And so Patty calls the cops
Dm C Em
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin’
Am F C G
In the hot New Jersey night
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 3]
Am F
Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Am F
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around
Am F
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Am F
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
C F
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
G C F
Just like the time before and the time before that
Dm C
In Paterson that’s just the way things go
Dm C Em
If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street
Am F C G
’Less you wanna draw the heat
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 4]
Am F
Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops
Am F
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin’ around
Am F
He said, I saw two men runnin’ out, they looked like middleweights
Am F
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates
C F
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head
G C F
Cop said, Wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead
Dm C
So they took him to the infirmary
Dm C Em
And though this man could hardly see
Am F C G
They told him that he could identify the guilty men
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 5]
Am F
Four in the mornin’ and they haul Rubin in
Am F
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs
Am F
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin’ eye
Am F
Says, Wha’d you bring him in here for? He ain’t the guy!
C F
Yes, here’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm C
For somethin’ that he never done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 6]
Am F
Four months later, the ghettos are in flame
Am F
Rubin’s in South America, fightin’ for his name
Am F
While Arthur Dexter Bradley’s still in the robbery game
Am F
And the cops are puttin’ the screws to him, lookin’ for somebody to blame
C F
Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
G C F
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
Dm C
You think you’d like to play ball with the law?
Dm C Em
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin’ that night?
Am F C G
Don’t forget that you are white
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 7]
Am F
Arthur Dexter Bradley said, I’m really not sure
Am F
Cops said, A poor boy like you could use a break
Am F
We got you for the motel job and we’re talkin’ to your friend Bello
Am F
Now you don’t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow
C F
You’ll be doin’ society a favor
G C F
That sonofa is brave and gettin’ braver
Dm C
We want to put his ass in stir
Dm C Em
We want to pin this triple murder on him
Am F C G
He ain’t no Gentleman Jim
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 8]
Am F
Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
Am F
But he never did like to talk about it all that much
Am F
It’s my work, he’d say, and I do it for pay
Am F
And when it’s over I’d just as soon go on my way
C F
Up to some paradise
G C F
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
Dm C
And ride a horse along a trail
Dm C Em
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Am F C G
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 9]
Am F
All of Rubin’s cards were marked in advance
Am F
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance
Am F
The judge made Rubin’s witnesses drunkards from the slums
Am F
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
C F
And to the black folks he was just a crazy er
G C F
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger
Dm C
And though they could not produce the gun
Dm C Em
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
Am F C G
And the all-white jury agreed
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 10]
Am F
Rubin Carter was falsely tried
Am F
The crime was murder one, guess who testified?
Am F
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
Am F
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride
C F
How can the life of such a man
G C F
Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
Dm C
To see him obviously framed
Dm C Em
Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Am F C G
Where justice is a game
[Instrumental]
| Am | F | Am | F |
[Verse 11]
Am F
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Am F
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
Am F
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
Am F
An innocent man in a living hell
C F
That’s the story of the Hurricane
G C F
But it won’t be over till they clear his name
Dm C
And give him back the time he’s done
Dm C Em
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
Am F C G
The champion of the world

We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller
C#m D
We say to girls You can have ambition. But not too much
C#m D
You should aim to be successful. But not too successful Otherwise you will threaten the man.
C#m D
Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage
C#m D
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important
C#m D
Now marriage can be a source of. Joy and love and mutual support
C#m D
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same?
C#m D
We raise girls to each other as competitors, not for jobs or for accomplishments, which
I think can be a good thing
C#m D
But for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings, in the
way that boys are

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly

People would say, they're the lucky ones

I used to know my place was a spot next to you

Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat

'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Miscommunications lead to fall out

But you held your pride like you should have held me

Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
My baby boy
Just let it die
With no goodbyes
Details don't matter
We both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes
It'd be like that baby
Now every time I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don't forget about
[Chorus]
Late nights, playin' in the dark
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
Oh they say
That you're in a new relationship
But we both know
Nothing comes close to
What we had, it perseveres
That we both can't forget it
How good we used to get it
There's only one me and you
And how we used to shine
No matter what you go through
We are one, that's a fact
That you can't deny
So baby we just can't let
The fire pass us by
Forever we'd both regret
So don't forget about
[Chorus]
And if she's got your head all messed up now
That's the trickery
She'll wanna have like you know how this lovin' used to be
I bet she can't do like me
She'll never be M-C
Baby don't you, don't you forget about us
[Chorus- x2]
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us.

Dinging like a cymbal, rhyme devil on the heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble

Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Quality I possess and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see
So peace, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

[Drake- Verse 1]
I've asked about you and they've told me things
But my mind didn't change, I still the feel the same
What's a life with no fun? please don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know
We know, **strumming fast here sounds good** they don't get you like I will
My only wish is I die real
Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case
Big girls all get a little taste
Pushing me away so I give her space
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thanking you, just don't know
Try to run from that, say you're done with that
On your face girl, it just don't show
When you're ready, just say you're ready
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
And the parties over, just don't forget me
We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
*stop strumming* Won't ever have to worry,
You won't ever have to hide
If you've seen all my mistakes
So look me in my eyes
Am, G, F

[Drake- Verse 2]
It's my birthday, I get high if I want to
Can't deny that I want you, but I lie if have to
Cause you don't say you love me
To your friend when they ask you
Even though we both know that you do (you do) *strumming here sounds good*
One time, been in love one time
You and all your girls in the club one time
All so convinced that you're following your heart
Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know
We know, *stop strumming* you hate being alone
You ain't the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
And they sold you one
You love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin' to save you
Instead they said…
Bass here-
(Dont tell me, I don't care, if you hurt)

While getting' some brain
Whipped it out, she said "I never seen snakes on a plane"
Whether you broke or rich you gotta get biz

I closed my eyes and imagined, the good life

Hey yo we're doing this for the people that love it,
And good music it'll never be done with,
The Train Walkers, you could find us in public,
And you already know we gonna keep it 100

Rap Lex (8 bars)
Keep it A1 with my day onesLinking to bump Raekwon /
Older gods like pagans
We don't run with fake ones / We don't buck with ray guns /
They bring ya down and weigh tons /
You know the classic saying How you get the cake up /
Location, location, location
So we stay on the trains and making the money and play in /
Then reinvest in our legionKeep it a buck for the reup
So everytime we meet upWe got the fuel to heat up
Verse 1: Adrian
Now you could find us underground, or above it,
As we're singing a song to sing along with,
And yo the only plan we have is keep on winning,
As we keep it 100 just like the beats per minute, /
And speaking of winning yo this is just the beginning
and we don't need recognition just need the people to listen, /
I'm talking music from the soul
with a little bit of country, rap, and rock and roll let's go
Chorus:
This is for the people who love it,
Good music it'll never be done with,
Train Walkers you could find us in public,
You already know that we gonna keep it 100
RAP LEX (8 bars)
Queens get the money like a Nas venture capital
Juicy good and plenty all the strategies is tactical /
Don't care if you simpatio Only got the nano flow
Small and don't hold weightUsed to rob six packs /
What I call a cold caseNo killer but stone face
A true teenage dirt bagSmoked out on the burnt ends /T
ried to play the merchant but couldn't put the work in
Now I'm cooking terpenes 100 for certain
Verse 2
Yeah we gonna keep it 100,as we're keeping it real, /
And we gonna keep on performing with or without a record deal, /
Yeah,and even though I know that it's a challenge
imma try to keep my balance as I rap it in spanish, /
Y cada vez que yo rapeo adentro yo siento fuego,
Combinando el estilo caballero y callejero, /
Y te prometo que dinero no es primero pero,
Para hacer cambio, Es necesario
Chorus:
This is for the people who love it /
Good music it'll never be done with,
Train Walkers you could find us in public/
You already know that we gonna keep it 100

Bm G
Im about to lose my mind
A
you've been gone for so long
A
I'm running out of time
G
I need a doctor
G
call me a doctor
F#
I need a doctor, doctor
I told the world one day I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
Y'all starting to creep in, everyday its so gray and black
Hope, I just need a ray of that
Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
They just say its wack
But they don't know what dope is
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
When I wrote this,
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breath new life in me
I owe my life to you
But for the life of me I don't see why you don't see like I do
But it just dawned on me you lost a son
Demons fighting you, it's dark
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me it'll enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me
Not the slightest clue
'Cause me and you were like a crew
I was like your sidekick
You gon' either wanna fight me when I get off this fucking mic
Or you gon' hug me
But I'm out of options there's nothing else I can do 'cause
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
It hurts when I see you struggle
You come to me with ideas
You say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
'Cause the shit I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Can't make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
Like I'm your leader
Your supposed to fucking be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
It was you, who believed in me
When everyone was telling you don't sign me
Everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
You risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
Dre, I'm crying in this booth
You saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
But I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
Get up Dre, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
(I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life)
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though
You walked in, yellow jump suit
Whole room, cracked jokes
Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
Went through friends, some of them I put on
But they just left, they said they was riding to the death
But where the fuck are they now
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them
All I see is Slim
Fuck all you fair-weather friends
All I need is him
Fucking backstabbers
When the chips were down you just laughed at us
Now you 'bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, fagots
You gon' see us in our lab jackets and ask us where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack maggots and the crackers ass
Little crack a jack beat making wack ass backwards producers,
I'm back bastards
One more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
I'll guarantee they scream Dre don't leave us like that man 'cause
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney that I put on top, and it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me who do you love?
[chorus 1]
Who do you love?

Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy baby don't you give me no lip

Ah, who do you love?

Yeah, who do you love?
Ooh, who do you love?
[verse 7]
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie

My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this soul of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine

[Verse 1]. A E D D
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]. E B D A
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
E B Bm D
Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
[Verse 2]. A E D D
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey, hey, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
[Chorus] E B D A
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day.
And head back to the Milky Way
E B Bm D
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
[Bridge] A E D D7
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you're wrong
A E G D
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance
five-hour phone conversation The best soy latte that you ever had, and me
[Chorus] E B D A
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
E B D A
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
E B Bm D
Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself
[Outro] A E D D
Na na na na na na Na na na na na na na-na-na-na
And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
Na na na na na na Na na na na na na (na-na-na-na)
And did you fall from a shooting star, fall from a shooting star
A E G D
Na na na na na na Na na na na na na
And are ya lonely looking for yourself out there

Deep within my soul I feel
Nothing′s like it used to be
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Chorus: Quit playin' games with my heart

(Before you tear us apart) My heart
Quit playin′ games with my heart
I should′ve known from the start

(You′re tearin' us apart) My heart, my heart
Quit playin′ games with my heart
Verse 2: I live my life the way
To keep you comin' back to me
Everything I do is for you
So what is it that you can′t see?
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby

[Verse 1]
Bm
It ain't easy
D
Nobody said it would be
G
You finally find that greener grass
D
But you're still in the weeds
Bm
Ain't it crazy
D
All the time that you spend
G
Drivin' through the rainbow for the pot at the end
[Chorus]
Bm D G
I got some rust on my Chevy but it's ready to roll
D Bm D G
I got a rhinestone sky and a song in my soul
Bm D G
It ain't a smooth ride, life, it's a winding road
D Bm D G D
Yeah, it might be gravel, but it feels like gold

Bm
I've been climbing
D
Trying to get to the view
G D
I'm at the bottom but the sky's still pretty damn blue
Bm
They say heaven
D
Is somewhere on the other side
G
But I ain't waitin'

Hell, I'm thinkin', it's a state of mind

I got some rust on my Chevy but it's ready to roll

D
Got my baby sittin' by me

Shinin' like a diamond

Only silver linings in the clouds

And if it starts to rain
D
I don't worry 'bout a thing
G
I pull my rose colored Ray-Bans out
[Chorus]
Bm D G
I got some rust on my Chevy but it's ready to roll

D Em
Every time you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me,
Em D
Every time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care
D Em
Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me
Em D
Do you speak the same words to someone else when I'm not there.
Bm D
Suspicion, torments my heart,
Bm D
Suspicion, keeps us apart,
Bm A7 /G /F# /E
Suspicion, why torture me?
D Em
Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow
Em D
I can't help but think that you re meeting someone else tonight,
D Em
Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow?
Em D
Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight?
Bm D
Suspicion, torments my heart,
Bm D
Suspicion, keeps us apart,
Bm A7 /G /F# /E

D Em
Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer,
Em D
Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind,
D Em
How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger,
Em D
Maybe I'm suspicious cause true love is so hard to find.
Bm D
Suspicion, torments my heart,
Bm D
Suspicion, keeps us apart,
Bm A7 /G /F# /E
Suspicion, why torture me?
Intro: G C G Hm Em Am D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time,
someone to call mine. My Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
How many heartaches must I stand,
before I find the love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:
Refrain:
Strophe: G G C G Bm Em Am D
Now love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting, oh 'til that say, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.
My Mama said:
Refrain:
