Rock With You

&quot;Rock with You&quot; was released on November 3, 1979, as the second single from Michael Jackson's fifth solo LP and breakthrough album, Off the Wall. Written by Heatwave group member and songwriter Rod Temperton, the song helped Jackson score one of the first Billboard number-one singles in the 1980s, as well as one of the last big hits of the disco era. It reached number one on both the pop and R&amp;B singles chart and became one of Jackson's most-loved songs. A video for the song shows a smiling Jackson dancing in a sequined suit against a background laser.

          G           D/F#             Em            D
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
          C
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs

Am7                  C/B
 A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
C                 C/B
 And a one man's soul
     Am7                      C/B
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
            C                 D
'Cause they got nowhere to go

G           D/F#      Em        D            C
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
          G            D/F#        Em             D
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan

Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

Am7                     C/B
 A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
C                 C/B
 And a washed-out dream
     Am7                       C/B
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
            C                 D
'Cause they got no place to be
                               G
That's why I'm starting with me

Bad 25th Anniversary

D                          G      A       D
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
         G           A                D             
When the world  must come together as one
          Bm                  
There are people dying 
         F#                     G         Em               A
And it's time to lend a hand to live, The greatest gift of all

  
D              G          A      D
We can't go on pretending day by day
         G        A                      D    
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
   Bm                F#m                                      
We are all a part of God's great big family
        G                Em             A
And the truth, you know, Love is all we need

 Chorus:
           G    A            D
We are the World, we are the children
           G                        A                 D        
We are the ones who make a brighter day so lets start giving
          Bm                          F#m
There's a choice we're making,  We're saving our own lives
     G                        A                 D
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

               G A G D  (x2)


D                               G         A       D
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
        
          G          A               D
And their lives will be stronger and free
   
   Bm                  F#m
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
      G        Em             A
So we all must lend a helping hand



 Chorus:


            Bb                  C                D
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
            Bb           C                     D
But if your just believe there's no way we can fall
       Bm             F#m 
Let us realize that a change can only come
     G  Em                A   
When we stand together as one

Verse 1

D7                           Am7
 It's close to midnight, and something evil's, lurking in the dark.
D7                        Am7
 Under the moonlight, you see a sight, that almost stops your heart.
           D7                                             Am7

             D7                                            Am7

 You're para-lyzed.

              Am    C    D        Am7
'Cos this is; Thril-ler, Thriller Night;

And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike.

 You hear the door slam, and realise there's nowhere left to run.
D7                           Am7
 You feel the cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
	       D7                                     Am7
You close your eyes, and hope that this is just imagi-nation.
            D7                                          Am7

 This is the end of your life.

Verse 3

D7                               Am7

That this is; Thril-ler, Thriller Night;

'Cos I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try.
               Am    C    D        Am7
Girl, this is; Thril-ler, Thriller Night;
   D7                                 F7
So let me hold you tight, and share a killer,
D7       F/G  Am7  C
 Diller, chil-ler, Thriller here tonight.

(Spoken):

Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise y'awl's neighbourhood.
And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down,
Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell and rot inside a corpse's shell.
The foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years,
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom.
And though you fight to stay alive; your body starts to shiver,
For no mere mortal can resist, the evil of The Thriller...

     G                        B7                  F
    With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone.
         E                  Am           D               G   C   G   C
    And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me.
    G                          D
2. Ben, you're always running here and there,
      G                          D
     you feel you're not wanted anywhere.
     G                  B7                            F
    If you ever look behind, and don't like what you find,
              E                     Am           D              G C G C
     there's something you should know, you've got a place to go.
   Am               D7    G           Am              D7     G
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
   Am               D7    G           Am              D7     G              C
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
    G                           D
3. Ben, most people would turn you away,
    G                    D
    I don't listen to a word they say.
      G                      D                         F
    They don't see you as I do, I wish they would try to,
         E                  Am             D                 G   C
    I'm sure they'd think again, if they had a friend like Ben,
          G    C             G     C   G
    like Ben,          like Ben

C                         Am
Another day has gone, I'm still all alone,
Dm                                  G
How could this be? You're not here with me.
C                                 Am
You never said goodbye, someone tell me why,
Dm                                     G
Did you have to go, and leave my world so cold?

C                 A7                         F
Everyday I sit and ask myself : How did love slip away ?
Dm                                                  G
Something whispers in my ear and says that...


C                                     Am
You are not alone, for I am here with you.
Dm                         G
Though you're far away, I am here to stay.
C                                     Am
But you are not alone, for I am here with you,
Dm                                      G
Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart,

But you are not alone.

C                                         Am
Just the other night I thought I heard you cry,
Dm                                    G
Asking me to come, and hold you in my arms.
C                                         Am
I can hear your prayers, your burdens I will bear,
Dm                               G
But first I need your hand, then forever can begin.

C                 A7                         F
Everyday I sit and ask myself : How did love slip away ?
Dm                                                  G

Though you're far away, I am here to stay.
C                                     Am
But you are not alone, for I am here with you,
Dm                                      G
Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart,

You are not alone, for I am here with you.

Though you're far away, I am here to stay.

HIStory - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE - Book I

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,

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

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)

(Verse 1)

I'll confess tonight your all thats on my mind
        Bm            A                   D
I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count
Bm                       A

    Em    A

D                             A                             Bm

    Em    A

I picked apart every word that you said
  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 think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

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

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
