Digo tu nombre
Ya sabrás quien es
Soy el perro a tus pies
Que te muerde la costilla
La entreabría y la luna se sienta en su silla

¿Qué tomas lunita y porqué estas tan amarilla?
Bueno, ya estoy cansada y mis hijas ya me llaman viejita
El pelo tan seco y mi piel ya no brilla
Pero el mundo es tuyo, esta noche eres mía

Así que
Quédate, quédate luna
Quédate, quédate luna
Quédate, quédate luna
Quédate, quédate luna

Mira a Dios en el aire, mira a Dios en el mar
Yo te doy toda mi vida para oírte cantar
Oye a Dios en el viento, prueba a Dios en la piel
Dios vive afuera y adentro también

Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna
Dímelo, dímelo luna

Y se que lo que mas espero
Lo mas que se me enamora

What Will We Be

C                    Am
Well i don't need nobody to rescue me,
           D               Am
Or help me see the way you treat me.
      C                   Am
But i do need somebody to help me say
     D            Am
It's time to walk away (alright, okay)

Am 
Too many times
Am
Too many times
Am
Too many times
C                     G
You crossed over that line
Am
You changed your mind
Am
You changed your mind
Am
You changed your mind
C                      G
But i never did change mine

            C            F
Still i was saved by the fire
G                      C
Singing its song in my heart
          C             F
That hypnotized all the demons
    G          C
And tore them apart
                           Am
But you make them all come back
                  C
You make them all return
                  Am
You're so good at that
                 C
And i will never learn
           G  G/F                  Am
No i never will (i never will, baby)

       C                    Am
Well i don't need nobody to heal my pride
          D              Am
Cause i'm playing dead inside
      C
But i do need somebody
        Am          D
To come wake me up, shake me up
           Am
Help me to stand up, stand up

Am
You put me down
Am
You cut me down
Am
You turned me down
C                G
And i still stick around

Am
You tame my soul
Am
Swallowed me whole
Am
I lost control
C                            G
And i still couldn't let you go

      C                F
But i was saved by the fire
         G                        C
That was burning deep inside of myself
        C          F
I was a knave to desire
        G                         C
But i finally got a little bit of help

                  Am
You ripped out my tongue
                           C
You couldn't trust me with that
                   Am
You hid your trust fund 
                            C
I wouldn't a judged you for that
                 Am
You made me feel dumb
                    C 
Well i ain't new to that
                     Am
I must-a treated you wrong
                                       C
And now you're treating me wrong right back
Am
Two many times, three many times, four many times
C            G
I'm about to crack
Am      
Eight many times, nine many times
Too many times
C      G
I lost track

                 C            F
Still yes, i was saved by the fire
        G              C
Burning deep inside my soul
           C            F
Yeah i was saved by the fire
        G              C
Burning deep inside my soul

Yes i was saved by the fire
Burning deep inside my soul

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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

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.

       Its so hard for me stayin' here all alone, when you could be takin'
       A                Em                                             A
       Me for a ride... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


        G     D         A    G  D          A
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)
