G                     Cadd9       G                  Cadd9    Am
Straight out of Nashville, here's your next big star
G                              Cadd9
He don't write the songs he sings, but he knows the words by heart.
G              Cadd9
Wears a cowboy hat, and some tight blue jeans,
G                     Cadd9
And he struts around the stage like he's the coolest thing you've ever seen.
G     Cadd9                    Em     Cadd9
                       Oh you gotta love him!


G		 Cadd9           G                     Cdad9   Am
He looks like a super model, knows how to strike a pose
G                      Cadd9                   Em       Cadd9    
And he don't mind the make up as long as no one knows.
G                              Cadd9        G	                   Cadd9    Am
And he's got that crooked grin, and talks with a southern drawl,
G              Cadd9                                Em               Cadd9
Acts like Toby Keith but sounds a lot like Tim McGraw
      D                     Cadd9           G
But if he's country ill kiss your ass,
     D			                  Cadd9            G
And throw all my Willie Nelson records in the trash.
                D                          Cadd9         G      D/F#   Em
He's the same old shit in a slightly different bag,
                D                             Cadd9   G   Cadd9 Em    Cadd9
But if he's country, well then country's pretty bad.
G		Cadd9

G                  Cadd9     Am
No that shit makes me sick.
G                  Cadd9
And that ole Kenny Chesney,
Em         Cadd9
What a hypocrite.
G		Cadd9
Hell swear he's country
G                             Cadd9   Am
But he lives in the Caribbean.
G	                  Cadd9
Sings all about the islands now, 
          Em                           Cadd9
What happened to the Tennessean?
D             Cadd9                       G
Aw if he's country ill kiss your ass
             D                            Cadd9            G
Throw all my Johnny cash records in the trash
        D                        Cadd9                        G       D/F#   Em

                         D                          Cadd9    G  D/F#  Em
Aw but if he's country, well then country really sucks.
          D                         G
What happened to the outlaws?
         Cadd9                  D             G
Who weren't afraid to cross the line?
Em     D                         G
What happened to the workin man?


                       Cadd9                D           G
Who sang the truth about their troubled lives?

G   Cadd9   G Cadd9   Am   G   Cadd9 Em   Cadd9   Em   Cadd9

G         Cadd9                 G           Cadd9       Am
I was raised in Georgia, in a one red light town.
G                      Cadd9                Em                 Cadd9
And my daddy picked guitar in every honky tonk around
G                           Cadd9
And he taught me all the good stuff,
G               Cadd9   Am    G             Cadd9                Em             Cadd9
That solid country gold, but now I love it all from hip-hop to rock and roll
            D                                Cadd9                  G
And if that ain't country, well I don't give a damn
       D                       Cadd9        G
My daddy to be my own kinda man
               D                                  Cadd9         G  D/F#   Em

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight


Perfect

BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP


C         G
Baa, baa, black sheep,
F            C
Have you any wool?

F        C
Yes sir, yes sir,
G          C
Three bags full.

C           G
One for the master,
F           C
One for the dame,

F               C
And one for the little boy
G                  C
Who lives down the lane.

I guess there's so much more I have to learn

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

School Friends

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.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
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
