Dido - Life For Rent
 Cm                                         G#  
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I'm not in love 
          Cm                                               G#
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking

Fm                            Bb
It's just a thought, only a thought


         Eb - Bb     G#         Eb     Bb       Cm - G#
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy

       Eb                Bb      Cm - G#
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
           Eb - Bb           G#
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

 Cm                                                  G#
I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone               and live more simply
    Cm                                       G#
I have      no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here          to stop me

Fm                          Bb
It's just a thought, only a thought

-Chorus-

      Eb       Bb                Fm           Bb  
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
       Eb      Bb                Fm            Bb 
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
            Fm     Bb
Well how can I say I'm alive
 
-Chorus- (you can strum the chord only once this time to add drama XP)

            Eb - Bb           G#
Cos nothing I have is truly mine (repeat 'til the end in Eb Major)

Dido - Sand In My Shoes
Intro:    E - B -F#

 E
 Two weeks away feels like the whole world should have changed
Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity, Should run 

        B
But I'm home now, and things still look the same
a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here

E                                                  
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack, 
Try to remind myself that I was happy here before

           B
try to forget for one more night, That I'm back in my flat

I knew that I could get on a plane and fly away

               E
On the road where the cars never stop going through the night 
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night 

      B                                                                      
To a life where I can't watch the sun set, 

             C#m                G#m    F#
I don't have time, I don't have time
And take my time, take all my time...

Chorus:

C#m                                      B                           F#
     I've still got sand in my shoes and I can't shake the thought of you

C#m                                  B                             F#
    I should get on, forget you, but why would I want to
		 
C#m                                        B                             F#
    I know we said goodbye, anything else would been confused 

      E  -  B                          F#  
But I ......want to see you again  (play  x4 the second time around)

C#m                               B                 F#
Two weeks away, all it takes, to change and turn me around I've fallen

C#m                                 B           F#	      G#m  - F# 
I walked away, and never said, that I wanted to see you again (return to chorus)

Verse 1:
Dm
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Am
I'll tell you that 
Dm
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it 
Am
Where's the sense in that? 
          C
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder 
Gm			   Am
Or return to where we were 

Chorus:
Bb		               F
Well I will go down with this ship
            Gm		          Dm
And I won't put my hands up and surrender 
	      Bb		     F
There will be no white flag above my door 
       C              Gm
I'm in love and always will be 


Verse 2:
Dm
I know I left too much mess 
                   Am
And destruction to come back again 
               Dm
And I caused nothing but trouble 
                           Am
I understand if you can't talk to me again 
    C
And if you live by the rules of it's over 
         Gm				Am
Then I'm sure that that makes sense 

(Chorus)


Bridge:
F
And when we meet, as I'm sure we will 
             Am
All that was then, will be there still 
            Gm
I'll let it pass, and hold my tongue 
	      C
And you will think, that I've moved on

Chorus x 2

And I won't put my hands up and surrender

G                  D
Like a ghost don't need a key
          G                   D
Your best friend I've come to be
             G                       D
Please don't think of getting up for me
          G            D
You don't even need to speak

               G                 D
When I've been here for just one day
               G                   D
You'll already miss me when I go away
             G                   D
So close the blinds and shut the door
               G                D
You won't need other friends anymore
G              D     G              A
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
              D   A               G      A
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
           D  A          Em   A
If you're low, just hold on
     D      A       G   A
'cos I will be your safety
Em             A
Oh don't leave home

         G                  D
And I arrived when you were weak
              G              D
I'll make you weaker, like a child
              G               D            
Now all your love you give to me
          G              D
When your heart is all I need
G              D     G              A
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home

              D   A               G      A
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
           D  A          Em   A
If you're low, just hold on
     D      A       G   A
'cos I will be your safety

Em             A
Oh don't leave home
        G                         D
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
               G              D
When it's just you and little me
              G                    D
Everything is clear, everything is new
       G                     A     
So you won't be leaving will you
              D   A               G      A
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
           D  A          Em   A
If you're low, just hold on
     D      A       G   A
'cos I will be your safety

Em             A
Oh don't leave home
D      A       G    A
I will be your safety
D      A       Em   A
I will be your safety
D      A       G   A
I will be your safety

Em             A
Oh don't leave home

INTRO:

I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side
And although sleep leaves me behind
There's nowhere I'd rather be


VERSE 1:
 C            A#           F         C
 And now our bed is oh so cold
           A#         F                   C      A# 
 My hands feel empty, with no one to hold

 I can sleep what side I want
                C A#           F        C
 It's not the same with you gone

 It's been three years, one night apart
              C   A#               F     C
 But in that night you tore my heart
 A#          F               C     A#
 If only you had slept alone,
            F  C             A#     F
 If those seeds had not been sown

 And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in
A#                                          G#   
 Send my regards to her i hope you've found that

Intro
Am	 	FM7	 	Am	 	FM7	 
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
Am    	       FM7                   G         C      Em     Am
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
Am            FM7                 G        C        Em     Am
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
Am              FM7         G                     C      Em     Am
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Am     FM7                Am                FM7
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
Am           FM7                    G                C          Em      Am
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again
Am            FM7                   G               C        Em    Am
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
Am       FM7                      G                C         Em       Am
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and
Am            FM7                Am               FM7
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
C           F                          C              F
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
C          F                          Em             Dm
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
C                           F                                  C
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you 
C                     F                      C
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
C                           F                              Em
Because you're near me and
                Dm
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
C           F                          C              F
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
C           F                         Em             Dm
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
C           F                          C              F
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.
C           F                         Em             Dm

Thank You

And I can't leave this bed

Risk forgetting all that's been

But I can't hide

Here With Me

Am             Am 
With one light on in one room, 
            Am            D 
I know you're up when I get home 
            Am             Am
With one small step upon the stair
            Am             D
I know your look when I get there 


            Am       F           Em        Em         
If you were a king up there on your throne
            Am     F             Em        Em         
Would you be wise enough to let me go
         Am       F         Em      F         
For this queen you think you own ... ...



        Am   F       Dm      F
Wants to be a hunter again
                Am      F    Dm      F
Wants to see the world alone again
         Am          F   Dm     F
To take a chance on life again
           Am     Am
So let me ... go ...


          Am               D 
The unread book and painful look, 
        Am              D 
The tv's on the sound is down 
        Am                D 
One long pause, then you begin, 
       Am                     D 
Oh look what the cat's brought in 


            Am       F           Em        Em         
If you were a king up there on your throne

        Am                   G           D               D
For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
      Am                 G                   D       D
and I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
   Am       G        D        F        F
and all the time I'm thinking thinking


        Am   F       Dm      F
I want to be a hunter again

No Angel

C                                   Em 
From behind these walls I hear your song, oh sweet words
C                                    Em
The music that you play lights up my world
                       C 
The sweetest that I've heard
                                       Em 
Could it be that I've been touched and turned, oh lord please
C                           G 
Finally, finally things are changing

             C                     Am 
This land is mine but I'll let you rule
             G               Dm 
I'll let you navigate and demand
        C           Am                 Em    G
Just as long as you know, this land is mine
             C               Am 
So find your home and settle in
       G                Dm 
Oh I'm ready to let you in
        C          Am                Em     G
Just as long as we know, this land is mine

C                             Em                        C 
After all the battles and the wars, the scars and loss
                              Em 
I am still the queen of my domain
                     C
And feeling stronger now
                                      Em    
The walls are down a little more each day, since you came
C                            G 
Finally, finally things are changing

             C                     Am 
This land is mine but I'll let you rule
             G               Dm 
I'll let you navigate and demand
        C           Am                 Em    G 
Just as long as you know, this land is mine
             C               Am
So find your home and settle in
       G                Dm 
Oh I'm ready to let you in
        C          Am                Em     G 
Just as long as we know, this land is mine

    C                            Em    G 
For all the days I've travelled alone
C                                      Em   G
In this cold and colourless place till now

(no chord) 
It?s what I had to pay

             C                     Am 
This land is mine but I'll let you rule
             G               Dm 
I'll let you navigate and demand
        C           Am                 Em   G 
Just as long as you know, this land is mine 
             C               Am 
So find your home and settle in
       G                Dm 
Oh I'm ready to let you in
        C          Am                Em    G 
Just as long as we know, this land is mine

This Land Is Mine

Em
I don't touch you the way I used to 

And I don't call and write when I'm away 

We don't make love as often as we did do 

What couldn't wait now waits and usually goes away 

    Em                      A
But listen and think when I say 
        Em                      A
Oh, but listen and think when I say 

Em                              A          Bm
Who makes you feel the way that I make you feel 
Em                              A     Bm
Who loves you and knows you the way I do 
Em                            A            Bm
Who touches you and holds you quite like I do 
Em                      A          Bm
Who makes you feel like I make you feel 

Em
I don't mind if you come home late 

And I don't ever ask you where you've been 

I just assume if there's a problem, you'd tell me 

    Em                      A
But listen and think when I say 
        Em                      A
Oh, but listen and think when I say  

Em                              A          Bm

Who Makes You Feel

Intro: Bb 

Bb
Danny is lonely 'cos
                 Eb
Mary's in India now
Bb                                           Eb
She said she'd call but that was three weeks ago
Bb
She left all her things 
                                     Eb
Well, her books and her letters from him
Bb                 F                 Eb
As the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him

(chorus)
Bb                       F
And just dance, and just drink
         Eb
And just see the things 
         F                             Bb
I'll probably never get the chance to see


Bb                                           Eb
Danny's not eating, he's drinking and sleeping in
Bb                                               Eb                       
I saw him last night at a party, he's definitely thin
Bb                                    
He says he's happy, he looked pretty good
      Eb 
But I think
Bb                      F                  Eb  
That as the sun rises on Mary, it sets on him


(chorus)

Bb                                          Eb
Danny came over last night and I cooked for him
Bb                                             
We talked about you, Mary, and how much we loved you
Eb
still
Bb                                    
He told me he's packed up your books and your letters
     Eb
and things
Bb                    F                      Eb
But as the sun sets on Mary, it's rising on him


And we danced, and we drank
And I've seen some things you probably never got the
chance to see

Bb
Don't worry, Mary
            F                Eb
Cause I'm taking care of Danny
F                        Bb         
And he's taking care of me

Mary's In India

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,
        G#m                   F#
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,
        G#m                   F#
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

Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

           A
from all we shared together.

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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 you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
