# CHORUS :

C#m                     B
Take a look at my girlfriend
A
She's the only one I got
C#m                B
Not much of a girlfriend
A
I never seem to get a lot



# VERSES : 

C#m                                      B
It's been some time since we last spoke
                      E                          A  
This is gonna sound like a bad joke
                     C#m               B
But momma I fell in love again
                       E                       A
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend


C#m                  B
And I know it sounds so old
          E               A
But cupid got me in a chokehold
        C#m                 B
And I'm afraid I might give in
              E                    A
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'


C#m                    B        
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
   E                           A
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
C#m           B                 E
If that ain't love then I don't know what love is


C#m                  B
We even got a secret handshake
              E                      A
And she loves the music that my band makes
         C#m                     B
I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun
E                    A
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun

       Bb
But I got a sweet tooth, that'll never come loose
                                C
And the truth of the matter is.

F#m, D, A, E7 (play throughout entire verse one bar per chord)

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf, will you blow me off and play me 
just like everybody else?
If I ask you to scratch my back could you manage that? Furthermore, I apologize 
for any skipping tracks.
It's just the last girl that play me left a couple cracks. I used to, used to,

verse 2: (same chords as first verse)


If I wasn't old school, fifty pound boombox - would you hold me on your shoulder 
wherever you walk?
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops and crank it higher everytime 
they told you to stop?
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me, when you have to purchase mad D 
batteries.
Appreciate every mix tape your friends make. You never know when we come and go 
like we're on the interstate.
I think I finally found a note to make you understand. If you hear this, sing 
along and take me by the hands.
Keep myself inside your head like your favorite tune, and know my heart is a 
stereo that only plays for you.

Or when you're coming home
G          D              Em               C    G
I left the keys under the mat to our front door

I don't know where you're going
     Em
Just get your ass back home

C
We both knew this type of life
       G
Didn't come with instructions
       D
So I'm trying to do my best
        Em
To make something outta nothing
        C
And sometimes it gets
          G
Downright shitty in fact
         D
When you call and I don't even know
     Em
What city I'm at

        C
Or what day of the week in the middle of the month
     G
In a year I don't recall
             D
It's like my life's on repeat and the last time we spoke
  Em
I told you I wouldn't be long
C                          G
That was last November now December's almost gone
    D                             Em
I'd apologize but I don't realize what I'm doing wrong

        C    G            D
I don't know where you're going
   Em                 C

        C
And you been nothing but amazing
      G
And I never take that for granted
              D
Half of these birds would have flew
                  Em
To coop with you, you truly understand it
        C
And the fact you stood beside me
      G
Every time you heard some bogusness
D
You deserve a standing o
       Em
'Cause they'd a just been over it

       C
Let em talk, let em talk, let em talk, let em talk
        G
Like we don't hear what they saying
       D
Let em walk, let em walk, let em walk, let em walk
           Em
We'll just drive by and keep waving
C
Cause you and I above all that
G
Just let em wallow in it
D
Now they all choked up, yuck
Em
Cause they be swallowing it

        C    G            D

No one holds me down like you do, sweetheart
D                    Em
You keep doing that, I'll keep doing this

Let's go!

C            G
I don't care what you're after

As long as I'm the one, no

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

Son, I missed my chance

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
