C       F              C         F
All day long I hear my telephone ring,
        C              F       C   F
Friends calling giving their advice.
         C     F              C      F
From the boy I love, I should break away,
      C                F         C
Cause heartaches he'll bring one day.

#2.
F                       G
I lost him once through friend's advice,
         Em               Am
But it's not gonna happen twice.
F                         G
Cause all advice has ever got me,
         Em                 Am
Was many long and sleepless nights.

CHORUS:

It's easy for friends to say, let him go.
    C               F         C  F
But I'm the one who needs him so.
C        F         C        F
It's his love that makes me strong,
    C         F        C
without him I can't go on.
F                      G
This time I'll live my life at ease,
      Em           Am
being happy lovin' whom I please.
F                G                     Em
And each time we make romance, I'll be thankful
      Am
for a second chance.

How can Mary tell me what to do,
         C        F       C
When she lost her love so true?
    C     F         C
And Flo...she don't know,
F         C       F          C
Cause the boy she loves is a Romeo.
F                     G
I listened once to my friend's advice,

C                 Em
Baby, baby, I'm aware of where you go
Gm            A
Each time you leave my door
F                G
I watch you walk down the street
F                  G
Knowing your other love you'll meet
C                        Em
But this time before you run to her
Gm           A
Leaving me alone and hurt
F
Think it over After I've been good to you ?
G
Think it over After I've been sweet to you ?

(CHORUS)
Am           G            F          G
Stop! In the name of love before you break my heart

Stop in the name of love, before you tear us apart
C  C  F  F  C  C  F  F
Think it over, Think it over

I've known of your, Your secluded nights
I've even seen her , Maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression, Worth more than my love and affection ?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?

(CHORUS)

I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever

Verse 1:

    G             C         D             G
Hey life, look at me; I can see the reali-ty.
              G                 C
'Cos when you shook me, took me out of my world;
  A#      D#               G#      D7            (G)
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, to The Happen-ing.

G         C              D                  G
 When you find, that you left the future be-hind.
              G            C                   A#      D#
'Cos when you got a tender love you don't take care of,
                   G#      D7          G   G7
Then you better be-ware of; The Happen-ing.

Bridge 1:

               D                   G
One day you-re up, then you turn a-round.
              B7                 Em
You find your world, is tumbling down.
            D                 D7        G   G7
It happened to me, and it can happen to you.

Verse 2:

      G               C           D              G
I was sure, I felt se-cure, until love took a de-tour.
      G              C
Yeah, riding high on top of the world;
   A#       D#                G#       D7
It happened, suddenly it just happened.

         G              C
I saw my dreams, fall a-part,
          D                   G
When love walked away from my heart.

It happened to me, and it can happen to you.

Break:

G                       G7
 Once! Ooh, and then it happened.

 Ooh... and then it happened.

      G#          C#
Is it real? Is it fake?

            G#              C#                    B       E
'Cos when I lost the love I thought was mine, for certain,
                   A        D#
Suddenly I started hurting.

          G#         C#
I saw the light, too late.
          D#               G#
When that fickle finger of fate;
      G#                C#                B       E
Yeah, came and broke my pretty balloon, I woke up,
                A         D#            (G#)
Suddenly I just walked up, to The Happen-ing.

   G#              C#          D#             G#
So sure, I felt se-cure, until love took a de-tour.

A

Verse 1:

Am
 Mama was cookin' bread,
F                                 C
 She wore a dirty raggedy scarf a-round her head.
               Em                                      G
Always had her stockings low, rolled to her feet; just didn't know.

Verse 2:

           Am
She wore a sloppy dress,
      F                                C
Oh no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess.
           Em                                  G
Out of the pot she ate; never used a fork or a dinner plate.

Bridge 1:

Bm            A7                                D
 I was always so afraid my uptown friends would see her.
Bm                   A7                        D
 Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her.

Interlude:

Verse 3:

     Bm
In a college town,
  G                        D
A-way from home, an identi-ty I found.
           F#m                                 A
That I was born elite, with maids and servants at my feet..

Verse 4:

            Bm
I must have been insane;
  G                                    D
I lied and said mama died on a weekend trip to Spain.
    F#m                                    A
She never got out of the house; never even boarded a train.

Bridge 2:

Bm                  A7                                D
 Married a guy, was living high; I didn't want him to know her.
    Bm              A7                               D
She had a grandson, two years old, that I never even showed her.

Chorus 1:

D              Dmaj7          D7       G, Gm
 I'm living in shame; Mama, I miss you.
D                     Dmaj7          D7       G, Gm
 I know you're not to blame; Mama, I miss you.

 Mama passed away while making home made jam.
   Em                                G
Be-fore she died she cried to see me by her side.

Verse 6:

           Am
She always did her best,
    F                                     C
Ah, cooked and cleaned, and always in the same old dress.
Em                                       G
 Working hard, down on her knees; always trying to please.

NATHAN JONES

Intro: C

Verse 1:

                F7
You packed your bags, as I recall,
And you walked slowly, down the hall.
                    Bb
You said you had to get away, to ease your mind,
            C
And all you needed, was a just little time.

Bridge 1:

     Eb       Ab      G7         C
But, winter's passed, spring and fall.
You never wrote me, you never called.

Chorus 1:

       Bb                 F        C
Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long. Gone too long...

Verse 2:

     F7
If a woman, could die of tears,
Nathan Jones, well, I wouldn't be here.
                    Bb
The key that you're holding, won't fit my door,
               C
And there's no room in my heart, for you no more.

Bridge 2:

     Eb       Ab      G7         C
But, winter's passed, spring and fall.
You never wrote me, you never called.

Chorus 2:

       Bb                 F        C
Nathan Jones, you've been gone too long. Gone too long...

#1.
Bm 
You think that I don't feel love,
C
But what I feel for you is real love.
Am
In other's eyes I see reflected,
  F              E
a hurt, scorned, rejected.

CHORUS:
Am          G
Love child, never meant to be.
F           E

Love child, take a look at me.

#2.
  Am                    G          D       Am
I started my life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum.
   G               D          Am
My father left, he never even married Mom.
  Am                  C
I shared the guilt my Mama knew,
D              F             E
so afraid that others knew I had no name.

CHORUS:#2.
Bm
This love we're contemplatin',
C
Is worth the pain of waitin'.
Am
We'll only end up hatin',
F            E
The child we may be creatin'.
Am          G
Love child, never meant to be.
F           E
Love child, scorned by society.
Am          G 
Love child, always second best.

Love child, different from the rest.
Am        G     D
Hold on...Mm, baby.
Am        G     D
Hold on...Mm, baby.

#2.
Am                    G          D
I started school in a worn, torn dress that
    Am
somebody threw out.
  G               D               Am
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt,
   Am             C
to be without the simple things,
D            F                       E
so afraid my friends would see...the guilt in me.
Bm
Don't think that I don't need ya,
C
Don't think I don't wanna please ya.
Am   
But no child of mine'll be bearin',
F           E
the name of shame I've been wearin'.
Am          G
Love child, never quite as good,
F                E
afraid, ashamed, misunderstood.

ADD:
    Am          G           F           E
But I'll always love you....I'll always love you.(x3).

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat

Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       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

But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

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
