C     F  Am   F
  Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

  C                            F
  Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
  Am              F
  While I look outside
  C                         F
  So many things I'd say if only I were able
        Am                           F
  But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

  C
  You've got opinions man
  F
  We're all entitled to 'em
  Am          F
  But I never asked
           C
  So let me thank you for your time
          F
  And try not to waste any more of mine
  Am              F
  Get out of here fast

           G
  I hate to break it to you babe
              Am
  But I'm not drowning
          F              G
  There's no one here to save

  Am               F
  Who cares if you disagree
         C
  You are not me
              G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am               F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything?

  C  F   Am  F
  Ooh ooh oh

  C
  You sound so innocent
  F
  All full of good intent
  Am             F     
  Swear you know best
  C
  But you expect me to
  F
  Jump up on board with you
  Am                     F
  And ride off into your delusional sunset

  C
  I'm not the one who's lost
  F
  With no direction, oh
  Am               F
  But you'll never see 
  C
  You're so busy making maps
  F
  With my name on them in all caps
  Am
  You got the talking down
  F
  Just not the listening

  Am               F
  Who cares if you disagree
         C
  You are not me
               G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am               F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything?

     G            F
  All my life I've tried
              Am               F
  To make everybody happy while I
       G        F
  Just hurt and hide
              G                       F           C-F-Am-F
  Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide

  Am              F
  Who cares if you disagree
          C
  You are not me
               G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am                 F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything?

  Am              F
  Who cares if you disagree
         C
  You are not me
               G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am               F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything

  C                    F  
  Lemme hold your crown, babe
  Am    F
   Oh oh oh oh

King Of Anything

[Intro]

C C7/Bb Dm
C C7/Bb Dm


[Verse 1]

C         C7/Bb        Dm
Word came through in a letter

C         C7/Bb        Dm
One of us changing our minds

          C             C7/Bb        Dm/A    Fm6/Ab
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send

F                      Fm/Ab
Letters to me that are mine

C        Gm/Bb      Dm
Told him I saw this coming

         C           Gm/Bb        Dm
That I'd practically packed up my things

      C           Gm/Bb         F/A        Fm/Ab
I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but

    F                       Fm/Ab                   
All honesty knows- I wasn't ready, no


[Chorus]

Csus4/F Csus4/E   Csus4/D 
And so here we go bluebird

C           Am7         Em
Back to the sky on your own

Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D
Oh, let him go bluebird

Csus4/F
Ready to fly

Csus4/G            C   Gm/Bb   Dm
You and I, here we go

        C   Gm/Bb   Dm   
Here we go


[Verse 2]

C            Gm             Dm           
This pair of wings worn and rusted

     C        Gm          Dm
From too many years by my side

         C        Gm
They can carry me swear to be

F        Fm
Sturdy and strong but see

F                               Fm
Turning them on still means goodbye


[Chorus]

    Csus4
And so here we go bluebird

C           Am7          Em
Gather your strength and rise up

Csus4
Oh, let him go bluebird

Csus4
Oh, let him go bluebird

Csus4/F Csus4/E Csus4/D   
Oh, let him go bluebird

Csus4
Ready to fly, you and I

        C C7 Dm
Here we go

        C Gm Dm
Here we go

        C   Gm  F  Fm  C
Here we go

F       C  G                     Am
No words my tears won't make any room for 'em, oh, and it 
F         C          G            Am
don't hurt like anything I've ever felt before. 
       F                 G            Am                   F      C        Am
This is  no broken heart, no familiar scars. This territory goes uncharted. 
F      C        G              Am                       F           C
Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in town, and I don't breathe,
G                               Am                        F         C
though I never meant to let it get away from me. Now I've too much to hold. 
                G                Am                F  C         G  Am
Ev'rybody has to get their hands on gold. And I want uncharted.
Bb                              F                G            C
Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling I'm going down.
Am                                F                     Dm             G7
Follow if you want. I won't just hang around Like you'll show me where to go.

I'm already out of fool-proof ideas so don't ask me how to get started
 G7                 G      Am         F     C     G     Am
It's all uncharted. La, la, la, la, ahh,          oh.

Each day,   I'm counting up the minutes till I get alone 'cause I can't stay
        G                Am                          F     C
In the middle of it all. It's nobody's fault, but I'm so low;
                     G           Am                F         C
Never seen so much I didn't know. Oh, everything is uncharted 
   Bb                              F            G              C
I know I'm getting nowhere when I only sit and stare like I'm going down
Am                               F                      Dm              G7
Follow if you wanna, don't just hang around, like you'll show me where to go.

It's all uncharted. Jump start my Kaleidoscope heart, love to watch the colors fade,
            F                      E7                    Am 
They may not make sense, but they sure as hell made me. 
                  E              G                         D
I won't go as a passenger, no. Waiting for the road to be laid. 
           F               C                  F
Though I may be going down, I'll take in flame over burning out. 
F      C            G                                      F          C  G 
Compare where you are to where you want to be and you'll get nowhere. 
      C         Am                                F
I'm going down, Follow if you want. I won't just hang around

Uncharted

# No capo
C
Goodbye, Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
                         Am
Layin' down the law that I live by,
                  C
Well, maybe next time.
C
I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
                  Am
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
       Bb
A wrong one.
    F                         G
I tell myself to let the story end
    Em                                Am
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
    F                         G
My "Why not me?" philosophy begins

And I say

Chorus:
C                              Am
Oooh, how am I gonna get over you?
           F                 G
I'll be alright, just not tonight
C                                         Am
But someday. Hey, I wish you'd want me to stay
           F                 G
I'll be alright, just not tonight
 C
Someday.
C
"Maybe" is a vicious little word that could slay me
                   Am
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me
C
Hang from your hand
Well, no more! I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
                                   Am
If I'm making it a thought of you, what for?
Bb
That's not me anymore
F                                 G
I'm not the girl that I intend to be
   Em                                Am
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
F                                     G
Oh this time not for you, but just for me

And I say

Chorus
C
Say it's coming soon!
Am
Someday with out you
F                               G
All I can do is get me past the ghost of you
Fm              C    Am 
Wave goodbye to me. I won't say I'm sorry
                  F                             G
I'll be alright, once I find the other side of someday

Gonna Get Over You

(Verse 1)
      
 D                A
Car is parked, bags are packed,
                 Em                      Bm
but what kind of heart doesn't look back
       G                        A                Bm
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
          D             A            Em                  Bm
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
           G                        A            Bm
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns



(Chorus)

      G          A              D                   G
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
         G          A               D               G
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
       G                       A                           D
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
        G                        A                 Bm
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
        D              A                Em         Bm
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
       G                  A                 Bm
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore


(Chorus)

      G          A              D                   G
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
         G          A               D               G
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
       G                       A
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again



(Bridge)

C G  F Bm
It hurts to be here
C G F Bm
I only wanted love from you
C G F Bm
It hurts to be here
G             A
What am I gonna do?



(Chorus)

      G          A              D                   G
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching

Kaleidoscope Heart

F  Fsus4   Bbsus Bb


F                  Fsus4
Time to tell me the truth
               Bbsus                 
To burden your mouth for what you say
             Bb
No pieces of paper in the way
         F                           Fsus4
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
             Bbsus
The opposite sides on which we fall
               Bb
The loving you later's if at all
C
No right minds could wrong be this many times


F                  Fsus4
My memory is cruel
             Bbsus
I'm queen of attention to details
          Bb
Defending intentions if he fails
F                  Fsus4
Until now, he told me her name
           Bbsus
It sounded familiar in a way
             Bb                                      C
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
             Bb
If only I had been listening



F           Bb
Leave unsaid unspoken
F             Bb
Eyes wide shut unopened
C
You and me
Bb                  F
Always between the lines
            Bbsus
Between the lines



I thought I thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I've learned to listen through silence



F           Bb
Leave unsaid unspoken
F             Bb
Eyes wide shut unopened
C          Bb       C 
You and me always be
           Bb 
You and me always be



Dm           Dsus2
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
Dm                 Dsus2
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
C               Bb
Wait for me I'm almost ready
C                 Bb
When he meant let go

Bbsus4    B



Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines

Between The Lines

INTRO: Em  C x4 

          Em          C    
There's a harvest each Saturday night
       Em                       C                   Em
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
                   C                Em             C
A place you can stand for one night and get gone  
      Em                    C
It's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing
           Em                   C               Em
Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
                      C
And I don't feel like singing tonight
        Em            C
All the same songs


CHORUS

I'm finding every reason to be gone

Nothing here to hold on to
         C
Could I hold you?

 The situation's always the same
            Em                                  C
You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
Em                      C 
  Stealing gold from the silver they see
         Em      C
But it's not me

   Calling out somebody save me I feel like I'm fading away

I'm I gone?

Intro: C	Am
F					G
Something always brings me back to you.
C		Am
It never takes too long.
F				G	C						Am
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

F				G
You hold me without touch.
C				Am
You keep me without chains.
F					G					C
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and 
Am
not feel your rain.

[CHORUS]
F		G			C
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into 
	Am
your gravity.
F			G	C						Am
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
F			C
But you're on to me and all over me.
F					G
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
C					Am
When I thought that I was strong.
F					G		C				Am
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]
F					G
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're 
F
everything I think I need here on
Am
The ground.
F							G
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
										F G C Am
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

Gravity

Its pretty basic... Em, D, G, Bm, A

Em      D   G
head under water
         Bm
and they tell me
            A
to breathe easy for a while
     Em        D    G
but breathing gets harder
     Bm       A
even i know that

Em            D   G
you made room for me
                     Bm
but its too soon to see
       A
if im happy in your hands
Em     D    G             Bm        A
im unusually hard to hold on to
Em           D  G
blank stares at blank pages
Bm       A
no easy way to say this
Em        D   G                    Bm      A.... pause and hold
you mean well,  but you make this hard on me


                                    Em
i'm not gonna write you a love song
D          G
'cause you asked for it
            Bm           A
'cause you need one, you see
                          Em
i'm not gonna write you a love song
D          G
'cause you tell me it's
         Bm
make or break in this
        A
if your on your way
               Em           G
i'm not gonna write you to stay
   Bm                           A                       Em            G

Love Song

D			Em	
Just about the time the shadows call
A			Em
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
A			Em
Paint a portrait of my mystery
A			Em
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
G		
A nameless face to think I see
Cadd9				D
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
G
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is
 Cadd9				C
Made out of my own devices.could I be wrong?
 
D		Em7 	G	
Time that I've taken
D		Em7 	G		
Pray is not wasted
 D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
Have I already tasted my piece of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love?
 
D			Em	
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
A			Em
Weave your shadows in the breath that we share
A			Em
You take more than just my sanity
A			Em
Take my reason not to care.
G
No ordinary wings I'll need
Cadd9		D
The sky itself will carry me back to you
G
Things I dream that I can do
 Cadd9				C
I'll open up the moon for you, Just come down soon
 
 D		Em7 	G		
Time that I've taken
D		Em7 	G		
Pray is not wasted
 D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
Have I already tasted my piece of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love?
D		Em7 	G		
Ready and waiting
D		Em7 	G		
For a heart worth the breaking
D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love.
 
F#m			Bm
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
	Bm
Sip on the southern rain, as I do
F#m			Bm
I don't look don't touch don't do anything
			A Em C
But hope that there is a you.

G 
The earth that is the space between
Cadd9				D
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
G
An unexpected love provides
Cadd9			C
My solitary suicide...oh I wish I knew
 
D		Em7 	G		
Time that I've taken
D		Em7 	G		
Pray is not wasted
 D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
Have I already tasted my piece of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love?
D		Em7 	G		
Ready and waiting
D		Em7 	G		
For a heart worth the breaking
D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love.
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love.

Bb            Gm                 Cm         Eb
I made up my mind when I was a young girl
                        Bb         Gm
I've been given this one world
  Cm              Eb
I won't worry it away, no
Bb            Gm                       Cm        Eb
But now and again I lose sight of the good life
                  Bb       Gm
I get stuck in a low light
           G#          Eb 
But then love comes in

Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      Gm
Many the miles
         Cm      Eb
Many the miles
Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      D
Many the miles
                 Eb
But send me the miles 
              Bb       Gm       
and I'll be happy to 
Cm          Eb
follow you, love

(Bb Gm Cm Eb)
I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
'Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry
          G#        Eb
And I'm better for that

      Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
Sing, how far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      Gm
Many the miles
         Cm      Eb
Many the miles
Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      D
Many the miles
                 Eb
But send me the miles 
              Bb       Gm       
and I'll be happy too, yeah 


(Bb Gm Cm Eb)
Red letter day and I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking about
Don't know if it's helping or not
But surely something has got to, got to, got to give
                      G#        Eb
'Cause I can't keep waiting to live

(Perc)
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I'll be happy to yeah

Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      Gm
Many the miles
         Cm      Eb
Many the miles
Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you

Many the miles
         Eb
Many the miles 
Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
I've been talking to God, don't know if it's helping or not
         Bb      Gm
Many the miles

Bb                 Gm                   Cm        Eb

The Hotel Café presents... Winter Songs

Verse 1 
D                                                   G
  You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does

The one that's always making everybody fall in love
Em                       A
  You see, girl you're a lot like me

D
  She rearranges all the light in the room
          G
So you're always in the shadows
                               Em
Well that's what it feels like to you
           A
Baby, I've been there too


Prechorus  
    Em                                       A
And I know how much it can sometimes hurt
                  D                            G
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl
Em                                      A
Take it from me that you have to see it first


Chorus (strummed thru outro)
              D                                   G
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes
                  Em
To make him wanna be with you
A
Let me remind you one more time
     D                              G
That maybe you're beautiful but you just can't see
                 Em
So why don't you trust me
A                                D
They'll see it too you beautiful girl, you


Verse 2
You wanna lay the blame on somebody else
All these tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf
But okay, I've seen it done that way

Just in case nobody ever comes through
Riding in to come to your rescue
You still have a chance
You don't have to be asked to dance


Prechorus 2
I know how much you've been dying to say
"Look how much everybody loves me"
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away


Chorus

Beautiful Girl

Intro: A E F#m D


A
Give me your heart to hold the God-like truth,
            E
Give me one good soul I can tell it through
F#m
Give me good reason to believe in you
            D
And give me strength if you have time

A
Give me two hands that'll hold this up
              E
And don't you give me no more than just enough
            F#m
You gave a pair of brown eyes that can call a good bluff
     D
And somebody who thinks they shine

    E  F#m       D    E
But you, I just want you
 F#m        D    A
I just want you

  A
I spend most of my life on a microphone
       E
Giving all that I?ve got until I head back home
             F#m
And when the lights go out, and I?m all alone,
    D
Got no reason to be crying

         A
But on a bad day I feel like a masochist
        E
Take it away from me, if it's for the best
 F#m
Somehow I ended up the head of this
   D
Freight train that isn't mine
 
    E    F#m        D
But you, I just want you
E      F#m       D
You, I just want you

          A
So take it all away
           E
If it isn't meant for me
             F#m
I don't want the easy way
  D
I just want you
             A
They can give me everything
          E
But at the end of the day
         F#m
The only words I?ll say
      D
Is 'I just want you'

A E F#m

D
I just want you


   A
It?s all so simple when I break it all down
   E
Two roads converged on a hallow ground
          F#m
It?s taken all my life to hear the sacred sound
   D
Of sweet simplicity
       A
Saying 'give it all back, you don't mean a thing'
          E
You got a short-lived life and a song to sing
      F#m
And the only way up is believing
    D
In never looking down

          A
So take it all away
           E
If it isn't meant for me
             F#m
I don't want the easy way
  D
I just want you
             A
They can give me everything
          E
But at the end of the day
         F#m
The only words I?ll say
      D
Is 'I just want you'


A  E  F#m
Oh,

D
I just want you

A  E  F#m D
Oh

I Just Want You

(Intro)
G


(Verse 1)

G
You can be amazing
G
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
Em
You can be the outcast
Em
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
C
Or you can start speaking up
G
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
G
And they settle 'neath your skin
Em
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
C
Sometimes a shadow wins
D
But I wonder what would happen if you



(Chorus 1)

G
Say what you wanna say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave



(Verse 2)

G
Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
G
By the enemy
Em
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Em
Bow down to the mighty
C
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
G
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Em
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
C       D
Show me how big your brave is



(Chorus 2)

G
Say what you wanna say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave



(Bridge)

Em         G
And since, your history of silence
C
Won't do you any good
C
Did you think it would?
Em                G
Let your words be anything but empty
C                           D
Why don't you tell them the truth?



(Chorus 3)

G
Say what you wanna say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

(Intro) 

C - F - Em - G    


(Pre-Chorus)

C       
It's a really old city                                                   
F
Stuck between the dead and the living 
Em                      G                              
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf 
Am                         F                            
As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet 
Em                G (once)
Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens 



(Verse 1)

C                                       
I started running the maze of 
F                        Em
The names and the dates, some older than others 
G
The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers 
Am                         F
With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders 
Em                G (once)
Built a cemetery, in the center of Queens 
 


(Chorus)

C                       Em                       F
You said, remember that life is, not meant to be wasted 
G                            C (once)
We can always be chasing the sun! 

C               Em             F      
So fill up your lungs and just run 
G                         C (once)
But always be chasing the sun! 


C - F - Em - G


(Verse 2)

C                    F                               Em
So how do you do it, With just words and just music, capture the feeling 
G
That my earth is somebody's ceiling, 
Am                      F
can I deliver in sound, the weight of the ground 
Em             G
Of a cemetery, in the center of Queens 
C
There's a history through her 
F                                     Em
Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us the proof 
G
More than that, it's to dare us to move 
Am                      F
To open our eyes and to learn from the sky 
Em              G (once)
From a cemetery in the center of Queens 



(Chorus)

C                       Em                       F                      
You said, remember that life is, Not meant to be wasted 
G                            C (once)
We can always be chasing the sun! 

C               Em             F
So fill up your lungs and just run 
G                         C (once)
But always be chasing the sun! 



(Bridge)

C          F     G      
All we can do is try 
Am                  F       G
And live like we're still alive 



(Pre Chorus)

C
It's a really old city 
F
Stuck between the dead and the living
Em                      G
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf 
Am                           F
And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony 
Em                   G (once)
Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens 



(Chorus)

C                       Em                      F
You said, remember that life is not meant to be wasted 
G                            C (once)
We can always be chasing the sun! 
C               Em                     F
So fill up your lungs and just run
G                         C 
But always be chasing the sun! 


(Bridge)

All we can do is try 
Am                  F      G
And live like we're still alive 
C          F     G
All we can do is try 
Am                  F       G
And live like we're still alive


NOTE FOR ENDING: You can either go with the Pre-chorus thing that starts out the song  like she does or, what I like to do, is the first two lines of the chorus except softer and stay in the octave for "sun" instead of going up like in the rest of the song, and  fade off with a pretty C chord. :)

Thanks xx

G                   D                      Em
Let the bough break let it come down crashing
Cadd9            G             D
Let the sun fade out to a dark sky
G                  D                Em
Can't say I'd even notice it was absent
Cadd9                     G                 D
Cause I could live by the light in your eyes
Em
I'll unfold before you

What I've strung together

There was a time when I would have believed them
        Cadd9             G              D
If they told me you could not come true, just love's illusion
             G      D
But then you found me

and everything changed

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan

I know it’s what you want
A                           Amaj7
The bustle and the buildings
F#m                  E
The weather in the fall
Dmaj7        C#m7
And I’ll bow out of place
Esus4                 E
To save you some space
F#m           E     B
For somebody new

You can have Manhattan

Cause I can’t have you

The one we used to share
A                           Amaj7
The one where we were laughing
F#m                  E
And drunk on just being there
Dmaj7        C#m7
Hang on to the reverie
Esus4                 E
Could you do that for me?

D     C#m7    D/B    A
And so it goes
E
One foot after the other
     Dm
Til black and white begin to color in
A   Amaj7    F#m   E
And I know
D       C#m7
That holding us in place
Fmaj7
Is simply fear of what’s already changed


[Interlude]

A   Amaj7   F#m   E
A   Amaj7 F#m   E


[Verse]

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   F#m
I’ll settle for the beach
A                           Amaj7
And sunsets facing westward
F#m                  Fmaj7
With sand beneath my feet
Dmaj7        C#m7
I’ll wish this away
F#m                 E
Just missing the days
F#m           F#m/E     B
When I was one half of two


[Chorus]

D
You can have Manhattan
Dm
Cause I can’t have you

The Blessed Unrest

D
Once upon another time
D
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
G
Turned the key and took a drive
    D
Was free
D
Highway curve, the sun sank low
D
Buckley on the radio
G
Cigarette was burning slow
   D
So breathe
 
     D
Just yellow lines and tire marks
     G
And sun-kissed skin and handle bars
    D                                A
And where I stood was where I was to be
 
   D
No enemies to call my own
   G
No porch light on to pull me home
    D
And where I was is beautiful
  D           A
Because I was free
 
D
Once upon another time
D
Before I knew which life was mine
G                              D
Before I left the child behind me
D
I saw myself in summer nights
D
And stars lit up like candle light
G                                D
I make my wish but mostly I believed
 
   D
In yellow lines and tire marks
G
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
    D                                A
And where I stood was where I was to be

D
Once upon another time
D
Decided nothing good in dying
   G
So I would just keep on driving
D               A         D
Because I was free

Once Upon Another Time

First verse:

F
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
C
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve
Gm
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
Bb
And I'm just who you want me to be

F
But like most creatures down here on the ground
C
I'm composed of the elements moving around
Gm
I grow and change and I shift and I switch
Bb
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch

C
But that only happens when I get provoked
Gm
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
C
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
Bb
That mean songs are still better than going postal

Chorus:
                  F
And that guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
C
And then let it go
Gm 
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
F   C   Gm  Bb
Asshole....asshole

Second Verse:

F
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
C
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
Gm
And I hate to think that I've ruined the day
Bb
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade

F
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
C
You're a toxin

Wasting perfectly good space
Gm
And I say what I think
Bb
'Cause it's more economic

Than drugs or a drink

Chorus:

F
And that guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
C
And then let it go
Gm 
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole

Bridge:

Bb                    Am
No I won't let him in, under my skin
Gm                      F         Am
He's a sad sack of shit, it's pathetic
Bb                    Am
Just a festering sore
                    Gm             C
Who will never be more if I don't let him

Chorus:

F
That guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
C
And then let it go
Gm                              F
Fuck that guy, he's just an ass hole

Sweet As Whole

[Verse 1]

F                Bb

Hold my breath and I'll count to ten

F                 Am

I'm the paper and you're the pen

F                         Bb

You fill me in and you are permanent

F          Dm7      C     Bb

And you'll leave me to dry

F                         Bb

I'm the writer and she's the muse

F                         Bb

And the one that you always choose

F                         Bb

She will falter and gift her blame

F          Dm7      C     Bb

And it starts all over again
Cgain again again

[Chorus]


Bb      F     Bb    C

She is bright lights and cityscapes

Dm7   Bb   C         Am

And white lies and cavalcades

Dm7  F    C     Bb

And she'll take all you ever have

F             Dm7

But I'm gonna love you

F        C    Bb

You say maybe it'll last this time

F              Dm7

But I'm gonna love you

F        C    Bb

You never have to ask

F              Dm7

I'm gonna love you

F        C       Bb

'Til you start looking back

F              Dm7

I'm gonna love you

Fsus2

So right
                             F

I wouldn't need a second chance

Lulu's Pie Song (waitress)

# Capo should go on the first fret.

Dm
Go ahead
           C
Throw your rocks at me
          Am 
From your little glass house
          Bb
And then take off running
Dm                  C
You're no better than me
      Am                Bb
We've both made mistakes intentionally


Dm                  C
And I won't do what you keep doing
Am                  Bb
Sit in judgment of a house I ruined
Dm                  C
I don't claim to be proud
    Am                   Bb
But my head wont be hung in shame


         C
I didn't plan it
        Dm          Bb            C
But the light turned red, and I ran it
    Dm  Bb    C
And I'm still standing
     Dm                   C                   G  
It's not what I wanted, but now that it's right here
       Bb
I understand it
  Dm           C         Bb
A story written by my own hand
      Dm        C            G
It's life biting right at your heels
         Bb
I didn't plan it
         C                   Dm
But it's finally something to feel

Dm
Look around you
         C
Ain't no saints here baby
      Am                    Bb
We're all just looking for a little less crazy
Dm                  C
And sometimes it's a hard left turn
     Am                             Bb
Down a road you'd never thought you'd see
Dm                     C
Don't you think dealing blame is a hazard
Am                        G
I'm not the only one whose dark side has her


         C
I didn't plan it
       Dm          Bb            C
Taking back what's been taken for granted
       Dm  Bb    C
'Cause I can't stand it
    Dm                   C                   G  
I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free
         Bb
I needed saving
  Dm           C         Bb
And a good mistake needed making
Dm        C            G
Maybe you need the same thing


         Bb
I didn't plan it
       Dm          Bb            C
Taking back what's been taken for granted

    Dm                   C                   G  
I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free

I didn't plan it

Db                           F#                 Db          F#
Today's a day like any other but I am changed I am a mother oh

In a instant and who I was has disappeared
F#                                F#      Db
It doesn't matter now you're here so innocent

Two tiny hands a pair of eyes
Dbsus4        Db    F#            Db             
an unsung melody is mine for safekeeping
Db   
and I will guard it with my life
Dbsus4                      F#            Db
I'd hang the moon for it to shine on her sleeping
F#                Ab
Starting here and starting now
F#               Ab
I can feel the heart of how

Everything Changes

What's Inside: Songs from Waitress

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:

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:

You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are

You can get a big house and a faster car

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

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.

when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try

and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

to remind yourself that you forgot

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
