With their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements, the Carpenters stood in direct contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles.   Karen Carpenter's calm, often somber voice was the most distinctive element of their music, settling in perfectly amidst the precise, lush arrangements provided by her brother Richard.

The Carpenters sont un duo musical américain des années 1970 formé par deux frère et soeur, Karen (1950-1983) et Richard Carpenter (1946).  Originaires du Connecticut, ayant déménagé à Los Angeles avec leur parents, qui souhaitaient favoriser la carrière musicale de leur fils, le duo va en quatorze ans de carrière (1969-1983) enregistrer onze albums, et placer 12 chansons dans les top 10 des charts aux

Carpenters era un dúo vocal e instrumental, compuesto por los hermanos Karen y Richard Carpenter.

C                   Em     F                  
Day after day I must face a world of strangers 
G        Em                Dm             
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong. 
C                  Em               F             G 
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to, 
         Em                  Dm            G
who will always care, you're always there. 
              
Chorus:

C            Bb         F                 
When there's no getting over that rainbow, 
        C            Bb          F         
when my smallest of dreams won't come true, 
      C             Bb          F            Am 
I can take all the madness the world has to give, 
      Dm           G           C                      
but I won't last a day without you. 
   
F   C   F   G   
  
C                  Em     F                 G 
So many times when the city seems to be without 
        Em              Dm    G
    a friendly face, a lonely place. 
C            Em               F             G 
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you, 
              Em                 Dm       G
   and you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile.

troubles seem to up and disappear. 
     A       B                        E 
You touch me with the love you're bringing, 
   A            B             E            F       G        
I can't really lose when you're near. When you're near, my love. 
  
 
C         Em               F                     G 
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises, 
        Em               Dm      G       
they're not unkind, just hard to find. 
C           Em        F                          G 
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live 
       Em                Dm         G              
    without the rest, I found the best.

 A cappella: Won't last a day without you  (A Ab A B C B C D E)

I Won't Last A Day Without You

D                A      G    D                   F#m      Em   A7     D
Such a fellin's coming over me, There is wonder is most everything I see
        G           A            F#m        B7
Not a cloud in the sky, Got the sun in my eyes
       Em                            A7
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream.
   D          A         G      D            F#m           Em A7       D
Everything I want the world to be,  Is now coming true especially for me
           G       A            F#m            B7
And the reason is clear, it's because you are near
              Em                              A7
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
        D                        G
I'm on top of the world looking down on creation,
          D       Em            D     D7
And the only explanation I can find
         G              A7          D                  G
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around,
             D             Em A7      D
Your love's put me at the top of the world.

A Song For You

       Fmaj7          E7sus4   E7    Em7         Am7
Why do birds suddenly appear  every time you are near
Fmaj7                         Cmaj7
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
       Fmaj7                    E7sus4  E7    Em7           Am7
Why do stars fall down from the sky     every time you walk by? 
Fmaj7                         Cmaj7
Just like me, they long to be Close to you

F
On the day that you were born the angels got together
      Em7                          A7sus4 A7
And decided to create a dream come true 
         F
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold  
                              G
and starlight in your eyes of blue

        Fmaj7               E7sus4 E7    Em7      Am7
That is why all the boys in town  follow you all around
Fmaj7                         Cmaj7       C
Just like me, they long to be Close to you
aah -aah -close to you

Christmas Portrait 

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
