Gavin Shane DeGraw (born February 4, 1977) is an American singer-songwriter from South Fallsburg, New York. DeGraw began singing and playing piano at the age of eight and attended Berklee College of Music during the same year as artist John Mayer.  In 2001, DeGraw released his first album independently named Gavin Live.  In 2003, his first major studio album was released, entitled Chariot, on July 22nd.

Fils d'un chanteur-guitariste et frère de Page d'un artiste : Joey DeGraw, le destin de Gavin était quasiment tout tracé.  Il débute les leçons de piano, chantant en famille régulièrement. Quelques années plus tard, il joua avec son frère dans un petit groupe et leur père prenait occasionnellement part à leurs concerts.  A l'âge de 16 ans et sous l'influence de son grand frère, Gavin commence à écrire ses propres chansons. Peu après, il suivit des cours à l'école de musique Berklee mais réalisa qu'il se sentait trop &quot;encadré&quot; et cela ne lui permettait pas de donner libre cours à sa passion. 

Der amerikanische Rocksänger Gavin Shane DeGraw (* 4. Februar 1977) wuchs in den Catskill Mountains (South Fallsburg, new York State) mit seinen beiden älteren Geschwistern (Bruder Joey DeGraw ist ebenfalls Musiker bzw. Songwriter) auf und begann im Alter von 8 Jahren Klavier zu spielen. Gavins musikalische Einflüsse beinhalten vorallem Soul- und Rockkünstler der 60er und 70er Jahre sowie sehr frühe Countrymusik. 

DeGraw se dio a conocer en 2003, con el lanzamiento de su álbum debut, 

&quot;Follow Through&quot; is a single by Gavin DeGraw released in 2005. It is featured on his 2003 album Chariot.  The song has been featured on several television shows, including One Tree Hill and Scrubs and as of 2008 plays in the UK and Italian adverts for Carte D'or.

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

Chariot is a single by Gavin DeGraw released in 2005, taken from his 2003 album Chariot. It's believed the song addresses the overwhelming feeling Gavin felt when he moved to New York from his rural hometown. In the song, he is supposedly pleading for a chariot to come and take him home (i.e. "You'll be my vacation away from this place/ You know what I want").The single was another success for Gavin DeGraw and reached the top 40 of the U.S. Hot 100. It was certified Platinum. Read more on Last.fm.

Chorus
Em         C        G
      We belong together
Em	            C            D
      Like the open seas and shores
Em                  C         G
      Wedded by the planet forms
            Em        C     G
      We've all been spoken for

G                          
      The hammer may strike
Em                   Am
      Be dead on the ground

      A nail to my hand
C	
      A cross on his crown    

G	
      We've done it, but we're undone
Em			       Am
      Finished it, but we are incomplete

      As one we are everything
C		  D
      We are everything we need

Chorus

G
      What good is a life
Em			 	
      With no one to share
Am
      The light of the moon
C			  G
      The honor of a swear

      We can try to live the way in which you speak
Em				            Em
      Taste the milk of your mother earth's love

      Spread the word of consciousness you see
C		     D
      We are are everything we need

Chorus

(Same chords as chorus)

All this indecision
All this independent strength
Still we've got our hearts on save 
We've got our hearts on save

(Same chords as chorus)

Someday when you're lonely
Sometime after all this bliss
Somewhere lost in emptiness
I hope you find this gift 
I hope you find this gift
I hope you find this gift

We Belong Together

Verse 1:
       E           E7          
I'm a poor, I'm a rich, 
     A               B
I'm a mountain and a ditch
     A                    B          
I'm a dagger and a shield,   
    A                B
I'm impatient, I'm a yield

Chorus                                                     
               E               E7                            
And I wanna be free, wind in my hair                       
           A              Am
Salt on my skin, sun in the air
              E                E7
I have to feel love, holding on me

I am heartbreak and romance
A                       B             
   The feather and the stone,

Not Over You

A
You

You don't know how lucky you are
                                G
Hanging with that girl on your arm
     F                         A
But soon enough I'm taking my shot
 A
Bang

Once I get him locked in my sight
                          G
Doesn't mean I wasn't all right
F                            A
I'm just seeing something I like
Whoo-hoo

(Chorus)
A             G
I just wanna take
D                   A
Someone else's holiday
A                        G
Sometimes the grass is greener
     D                
When someone else's sugar
F                G
Someone else's sugar
   A  
Is sweeter

(Verse)
 A
You

Went to school and found out you're dumb
                             G
Maybe you just had too much fun
F               
Fell in love and think it's the one
A 
You're like an angel

Got me feeling like a devil
   G
I wanna give you something if
    F                       A
You promise that you won't tell
Whoo-hoo

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
A
I'm a recommend 
                                G
You take that body to the other end
                         F
I really like you but I can't be friends
                        A
Not with these hands of mine

# Verse 1
G                 D
Where did all the people go?
Em                       C
They got scared when the lights went low.
G                    D
I get you through it nice and slow,
         Em                         C
When the world's spinning out of control.

G              D
Afraid of what they might lose
Em                          C
Might get scraped or they might get bruised.
G                    D
You could beg and what's the use
Em                                   C
That's why it's called the moment of truth

# Chorus
G                     
I'd get it if you need it,
D                         
I'll search if you don't see it,
Em
You're thirsty, I'll be rain,
C                     D  
You get hurt, I'll take your pain.
G
I know you don't believe it,

But I said it and I still mean it,

Funny when times get hard,

At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,
G                   D 
We're always on the longest yard,
Em                             C
Oh they feel their feet get cold.

G            D
Hiding here, hiding there,
Em             C
Find them underneath the stairs,
G             D
People hiding everywhere,
Em                        C
Trying to be still like a stone.

I'm never gonna say "surrender".

Em7              Cadd9         G        
Melt Antarctica, savin' Africa I failed 
            Dsus4
algebra and I misused some times.
Em7                 Cadd9               G        
We're at war again, save the world again You can 
                 Dsus4
all join in, but you can't smoke inside.
         Em7                   Cadd9
You said "Take me home, I can't stand this place.
G                                    Dsus4
Cause there's too many hipsters and I just can't relate"
         Em7            Cadd9
You're my neon gypsy, my desert rain.
          G                            Dsus4
You're my "Helter Skelter”, oh how can I explain that.
 
Em7   Cadd9 G       Dsus4          
You're the best I ever had and I'm trying not 
   Em7       Cadd9 G        Dsus4
to get stuck in my head But I read that.
Em7            Cadd9               G        
Soda kills you, Jesus saves On the bathroom 
            Dsus4
wall where I saw your name.
           Em7   Cadd9 G   Dsus4
You're the best I ever had I won't be the same.
 
Em7  Cadd9  G  Dsus4
 

Em7                      Cadd9
Night sky full of drones, this neighborhood of clones.
G                                      Dsus4
I'm looking at the crowd and they're staring at their phones.
Em7                          Cadd9
They groom the coast line here, the sun will disappear -Oh God!-
G                         Dsus4
And maybe once a year, I think they'll clean my car.
    Em7            Cadd9
Caught my reﬂection, drop the call.
         G                Dsus4
I've been medicated with cigarettes and alcohol.
   Em7            Cadd9
I got vertigo, no I can't see straight.
    G                        Dsus4
I got obligations though I'm usually late but.


Em7   Cadd9 G       Dsus4

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

Out Of The Darkness

LA RE
Jo et duré a casa si fa mal temps
MI FA#m
Jo t’empararé si un cas tens por
SIm MI
Jo te cuidaré si estàs malalta
RE LA
De tot cor, de tot cor
RE REm LA
De tot cor

MI RE DO#m-SIm-LA

FA#m DO#m
Estic a punt d’anar-me’n
RE LA RE
Mes abans de partir et diré
REm LA
Que et duc dins es pensament

FA#m DO#m
No deix de recordar-te
RE LA RE
I alen els teus alens tot calents
REm SIm MI
De lluny i de prop me tens


Jo et duré...

FA#m DO#m
I a dalt de s’escenari
RE LA RE
Quan estic concentrat cantant
REm MI
Jo sempre te tenc present

FA#m DO#m
Perquè m’ets necessari
RE LA
Com s’aire que respir
RE REm SIm MI
Necessit estar amb tu en tot moment


Jo et duré... ( bis )
