         G              D
It's not time to make a change,
       C            Am7
Just relax, take it easy.
             G                  Em
You're still young, that's your fault,
          Am               D
Theres so much you have to know.
       G            D
Find a girl, settle down,
        C           Am7
If you want you can marry.
        G        Em
Look at me, I am old,
        Am       D
but I'm happy.



      G                 D
I was once like you are now, 
       C                  Am7
and I know that it's not easy,
       G                Em
To be calm when you've found 
  Am            D
something going on.
              G             D
But take your time, think a lot,
              C                 Am7
Why, think of everything you've got.
     G                      Em
For you will still be here tomorrow, 
      Am             D
but your dreams may not.



G  D  G  D



          G          D
How can I try to explain, 
        C           Am7
when I do he turns away again.
       G              Em
It's always been the same, 
Am         D
same old story.
          G              D
From the moment I could talk 
      C          Am7
I was ordered to listen.
               G          Em
Now there's a way and I know 
       Am           D
that I have to go away.
G                D             
I know I have to go.

G  D  G  D

G  D  C  Am7  G  Em  Am  D
G  D  C  Am7  G  Em  Am  D

G  D  G  D


          G              D
It's not time to make a change,
     C                  Am7
Just sit down, take it slowly.
               G                 Em
You're still young, that's your fault,
Am                       D
There's so much you have to go through.
       G             D
Find a girl, settle down,
        C           Am7
If you want you can marry.
        G         Em
Look at me, I am old, 
Am         D
but I'm happy.


          G              D
All the times that I cried, 
         C                Am7
keeping all the things I knew inside,
       G            Em
It's hard, but it's harder 
Am         D
to ignore it.
              G          D
If they were right, I'd agree, 
           C               Am7
but it's them you know not me.
              G          Em
Now there's a way and I know 
Am         D
that I have to go away.
G           D     
I know I have to go.

  All he asks from me is the food to give him strength 
       D                      C                   D
All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get 

So, I love my dog as much as I love you 
But you may fade, my dog will always come through 

All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes 
I don't need no cold water to make me realize that 

I love my dog as much as I love you 
But you may fade, my dog will always come through

[Verse 1]
             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me

I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)

If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
