         G              D
It's not time to make a change,
       C            Am7
Just relax, take it easy.
             G                  Em
You're still young, that's your fault,
          Am               D
Theres so much you have to know.
       G            D
Find a girl, settle down,
        C           Am7
If you want you can marry.
        G        Em
Look at me, I am old,
        Am       D
but I'm happy.



      G                 D
I was once like you are now, 
       C                  Am7
and I know that it's not easy,
       G                Em
To be calm when you've found 
  Am            D
something going on.
              G             D
But take your time, think a lot,
              C                 Am7
Why, think of everything you've got.
     G                      Em
For you will still be here tomorrow, 
      Am             D
but your dreams may not.



G  D  G  D



          G          D
How can I try to explain, 
        C           Am7
when I do he turns away again.
       G              Em
It's always been the same, 
Am         D
same old story.
          G              D
From the moment I could talk 
      C          Am7
I was ordered to listen.
               G          Em
Now there's a way and I know 
       Am           D
that I have to go away.
G                D             
I know I have to go.

G  D  C  Am7  G  Em  Am  D
G  D  C  Am7  G  Em  Am  D

G  D  G  D


          G              D
It's not time to make a change,
     C                  Am7
Just sit down, take it slowly.
               G                 Em
You're still young, that's your fault,
Am                       D
There's so much you have to go through.
       G             D
Find a girl, settle down,
        C           Am7
If you want you can marry.
        G         Em
Look at me, I am old, 
Am         D
but I'm happy.


          G              D
All the times that I cried, 
         C                Am7
keeping all the things I knew inside,
       G            Em
It's hard, but it's harder 
Am         D
to ignore it.
              G          D
If they were right, I'd agree, 
           C               Am7
but it's them you know not me.
              G          Em
Now there's a way and I know 
Am         D
that I have to go away.
G           D     
I know I have to go.

Here comes my baby, here she comes now


               F                        G
Walking with a love, with a love that's so so fine

All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get

I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you

When we thought about things we were gonna do

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

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.
