Intro  Em

Em                                       C
You were once a sweet little girl,
G                              D
So innocent and pure,
Em                                    C         Am                     Em
Your eyes were open and sure- anyone could look right in.
Em                                        C
And while look closely- you gaze,
G                                          D
You looked up towards the sky,
Em                                    C          Am                  Em
but i watched your face drift away as the things caught your eye.
Am                                                               Em
The magazines and media supplied you with their best protocol,
Am                                                                              Em
And maybe music television really is the devil after all.
G                       G7                                    C        Am
But all i can say is I knew you before you were beautiful back then,
Em                         B7
Before you grew up,
B7                         Em
Before you gave in..
Em                                      C                    G        D
You dream of sharing your heart, Instead you share your bed,
Em                                              C        Am           Em
And your heart beats empty and cold with all the tears you have shed.
Em                                              C
And you dream of bearing your soul,
G                                       D
Instead you bare more skin,
Em                                             C    Am     Em
And you wear dark glasses to keep anyone from looking in.
Am                                                                   Em
The magazines and media supplied you with their best protocol,
Am                                                                    Em
And maybe music television really is the devil after all.
G                          G7                               C              Am
But all i can say is i knew you before you were beautiful back then,
Em                         B7
Before you gave up,
B7                        Em
Before you gave in..

G                           G7                         C                  Am
But all i can say is i knew you before you were beautiful back then,
Em               B7              Em
You could be beautiful again...

       G        Cadd9
Well I woke one morning,
          D       Cadd9
Found you staring down at me
               Em7     Cadd9     Em7  D
You said 'I'll take my share now father, please'
        G         Cadd9          D         Cadd9
And you took your money, and you took your leave
        Em7     Cadd9     Em7      D       Cadd9
And you took my heart and turned your back on me

         G       Cadd9
Then you hit the town
        D       Cadd9
And you hit the bottle hard
    Em7      Cadd9         Em7 D
And you race round in your fancy  cars
            G         Cadd9
And you blow all your money
   D         Cadd9
In brothel's beds and bars
      Em7      Cadd9
And before you know
       Em7    D         Cadd9
You're broke and times are hard


    D/f#              G

        Cadd9             G
With my eyes fixed on the road
      D/f#                G
And I fight back tears and wonder
          Cadd9       G   D/f#
If you're ever coming home
          Em7          Cadd9
Don't you know son that I love you
      G                        D

Intro

        G          Cadd9
And now you've hit bottom
              D    Cadd9
And all those open doors have shut
         Em7    Cadd9     Em7  D
And your hungry stomach's tied in knots
           G           Cadd9
But I know what you're thinking
            D        Cadd9
That you've troubled me enough
                  Em7
But nothing could ever
Cadd9  Em7   D       Cadd9
Sepa - rate you from my love


    D/f#              G
And I still stand here waiting
        Cadd9             G
With my eyes fixed on the road
      D/f#                G
And I fight back tears and wonder
          Cadd9       G   D/f#
If you're ever coming home
          Em7          Cadd9
Don't you know son that I love you
      G                        D   Dsus
And I don't care where you've been
        Em7             Cadd9
Yes and I'll be right here waiting
         G                  D   Dsus
Till you come around the bend
          Em7         Cadd9
Then I'll run to you and hold you close
    G             D
And won't let go again
               Am
So please come home
       Am?  C

Intro : G D Am


G       D
I've got bills to pay
Am
A taxman on my tail
G           D
Just keep Praying that
Am
It checks in the mail

G                  D 
There are times it seems
Am                C
Everything's lost and I'm
C
Alone and I'm tossed
D
And I see


       Am
Between the rivers and the ravens I'm fed, 
                C 
Between oblivion and places I'm there. 
G                                  D 
So Father give me faith, providence and grace.
Am
Between the river and the ravens I'm fed, 
C                               G

G E C
Guitar chords while harmonica is played

G                E           C        G
I love how you curse when i wake you up
G               E           C         G
And sweetly demand that i fill your cup
G                   E       C        G
you find all your cool gun powder stare
G              E       C
but honey you led me there


[Chorus]
For the E chords in the chorus you have to lift your finger thats
on the 4th string (D string) and return it. You will 
have to look at the video to get it correct but it's 
not very difficult.

To help it goes two downstrokes and then its up down up down.
Its after the two downstrokes where you lift your finger and then
put it back down. It might not be 100% but it sounds pretty damn
close if it's not.

           E
Youre the girl of my dreams
         C
And a pistol it seems
          G                      E
But you shoot me straight and true
          C
Time to lay down my bets

Oh i put my money on you


[Verse 2]


G                E        C          G
When im in the dark you bring me light
G                E           C        G
it seems like youre almost always right
G                E          C          G
keep boxing my ears when i sew them shut
G            E      C
baby you sure are tough


[Chorus]
     
       E
Youre the girl of my dreams
        C
and a pistol it seems
          G                     E
but you shoot me straight and true
         C
time to lay down my fears
     Cm
honey i feel so safe around you


[Verse 3]

G                E        C          G
If the taylor man taught me anything
G                E        C          G
its that a hard headed womans what i need
G                E        C          G

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus

Lazy Line Painter Jane

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds

We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns

                      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:

Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade

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

I wheel my bike off the train,

Up the North Trade Road,

Look for you on Marley Lane

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

C                     G
Se a vida as vezes dá uns dias de segundos cinzas
           Am           F
E o tempo tic taca devagar
         Dm                   Am
Ponha o teu melhor vestido, brilha teu sorriso
      F              C
Vem pra cá, vem pra cá

                                     G
Se a vida muitas vezes só chuvisca, só garôa
        Am               F
E tudo não parece funcionar
         Dm                  Am
Deixe esse problema a toa, pra ficar na boa
      C
Vem pra cá

Refrão:
            Am              F
Do lado de cá, a vista é bonita
          C           G
A maré é boa de provar
            Am                 F
Do lado de cá, eu vivo tranquila
                  C          E7
E o meu corpo dança sem parar
            F                  C                 G
Do lado de cá, tem música, amigos e alguém para amar

A vida é agora, vê se não demora

É so ter vontade de felicidade

Pra pular
