You could have heard a pin drop,
                             F
when they walked through the door,
               C                                G7                 
had to turn my eyes away, my heart fell to the floor.

Someone whispered, "Where's your halo?" She had an angel's face,
                                        
                        C                  G7             C      F C
he stood there smiling, holding on to the one who took my place.

   C           G7                    C   C7
So tonight the heartache's on me, on me,
      F                    G7                C
let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see.
                                             
   C                E7               F            D7
Bartender, pour the wine, 'cause the hurtin's all mine,

tonight the heartache's on me.

I wonder if he told her she's the best he's ever known,
                                                                              
    F              C                             G7
the way he told me every night when we were all alone.
                                                                              
       C                                       C7            F
She'll find out when the new wears off, he'll find somebody new,
                                                                          
F                             C               G7            C
she'll learn what heartache's all about, and what I'm going through.

     C         G7             C      C7
So tonight the heartache's on me, on me,
      F                    G7                C
let's drink a toast to the fool who couldn't see.
                                        
   C                C7               F            D7
Bartender, pour the wine, 'cause the hurtin's all mine,
  C         G7             C   F
tonight the heartache's on me.

       C         G7             C
yes, tonight the heartache's on me.

C                             F
 Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
 C                  G
 All through thier high school days
 C                    F
 Both members of the 4H club
   C              G  C
Both active in the FFA
    C               F             C
 After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin'
 G
for a bright new world
 C          F
 Wanda looked all around this town
 C               G   C
And all she found was Earl
 C
 Well it wasn't two weeks
 F
After she got married that
 C           G
 Wanda started gettin' abused
 C              F
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
 C               G     C
And make up to cover a bruise
 C                          F
 Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
 C                   G
 She let the law take it from there
 C                                  F
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
 C                  G    C
And put her in intensive care
 Am                    G
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
 F                 C
On a red eye midnight flight
 Am
She held Wanda's hand as they
 G
 Worked out a plan
 F                       G
And it didn't take 'em long to decide
 C           F  C
That Earl had to die 
 G       F
Goodbye Earl
 C      F     C
Those black-eyed peas 
 G                     F
They tasted all right to me Earl
 C          F   C
You're feelin' weak 
 G
Why don't you lay down
 F
And sleep Earl
 C     F C
Ain't it dark 
 G     F   C   F    C     F
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl   
 C                 F
 The cops came by to bring Earl in
 C
 They searched the house
 G
High and low
 C
Then they tipped thier hats
 F           C                     G                C
And said "thank you ladies if you hear from him let us know"
 C
 Well the weeks went by and
 F
 Spring turned to Summer
 C               G
 And Summer faded into Fall
 C                         F
And it turns out he was a missing person
 C           G
Who nobody missed at all
 Am
So the girls bought some land
 G
And a roadside stand
 F          C
 Out on Highway 109
 Am
They sell Tennessee ham
 G
And strawberry jam
 F
And they don't
 G
Lose any sleep at night 'cause
 C       F C
Earl had to die 
 G     F
Goodbye Earl
 C
We need a break
 F       C   G        F
 Let's go out to the lake Earl
 C     F     C
We'll pack a lunch
 G                    F
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
 C      F       C
Well is that all right 
 G          F
Good Let's go for a ride
 C F C G F C
 Earl Hey

Goodbye Earl

C                             Am              C
Should have been diff'rent, but it wasn't diff'rent,
F                         Dm                G
Was the...same old story, dear John and so long
C                         Am         C              
 F
Should have fit like a glove, should have fit like a ring
   F                Dm                 G
Like a diamond ring, a token of true love
F                       C
Should have all worked out, but it didn't
F                   G
She should be here now, but she isn't


CHORUS:
 C                       Am           C
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
F                          Dm           G
You keep seeing double with the wrong one
  C                     Am                     C
You can't see I love you, you can't see she doesn't
  F                       Dm          G
But you just keep a-holding on
                   C
There's your trouble

So now you're thinking 'bout all you're missing
How...deep you're sinking, round and round and dragging down
Why don't you cash in your chips, why don't you call it a loss
Not such a big loss, chalk it up, better luck
Could have been true love, but it wasn't
It should all add up, but it doesn't

CHORUS:    x2

There's Your Trouble

  Climbed a mountain then I turned around

  What is love?
            C               G          Am7   G
  Can the child within my heart rise above
        C                  G              Am7   G
  Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
          C         G             Am7   G
  Can I handle the seasons of my life
   C     G     Am7    G

You have to feel the pain

When you loose the love you gave someone

I thought by now the time

Would take away these lonely tears

Intro: G  C  D  
       G  C  D


C       C/B            Am      D/F#
We were young and so inspired
               G             G/F#         Em 
We weren't the only ones who thought we'd change the world
Am                   D
No sun would set without us
C         C/B             D
No one we knew could ever doubt us
C          C/B            Am   D/F#
We had our future figured out
          G                    G/F#            Em
We knew a love like ours would always save the day
F                        D  Dsus4  D
And that we'd always be ok


Chorus:
G             C       D    Dsus4  D
But would you know me now
G          C     D      Dsus4  D    
Would you lay me down beside   you
Em      D/F# G       F       C 
Tell me everything I want to hear
     C             D        C
Like that was your favorite year
     C             D        G
Like that was your favorite year


C             C/B            Am      D/F#
You looked at me like no one else
              G                 G/F#    Em 
But sometimes love just doesn't seem to conquer all
Am                            D
We search for someone else to blame
C                                   D
But sometimes things can't stay the same


Chorus:
G             C       D    Dsus4  D
But would you know me now
G          C     D      Dsus4  D    
Would you lay me down beside   you
Em      D/F# G       F       C 
Tell me everything I want to hear
     C             D        C
Like that was your favorite year
     C             D        F
Like that was your favorite year



Bridge:
F                 C
Holding on to the memories 
                G                   D 
Of when we were younger, I can't forget
F                    C 
Cause when we were together
            Am          D
That's when I was at my best


Chorus

Favorite Year

D	C
I was only a kid 
	G	D
When I said goodbye to you 
D	C
Ten summers ago 
	G	D
But it feels like yesterday 
D	C
Lost, scared and alone
	G	D
Nothing I could give to you 
D	C
I tried, I really did
	G	D
But I couldn't find another way


	Am
And I want
	C
And I need 
G	D
Somehow to believe 
Am
In the choice
C
I made 
G	D
Am I better off this way


G	D		Am
I can hear the voice inside my head 
G	D		Am

Saying you should be with me instead 
G	D		Am
Every time I'm feeling down, I wonder 
G	D		Am
What would it be like with you around


So I, I made my way
Cold and roaming in the wild 
I'm forever changed
By someone I never knew 
Now I've, I've got a place
I've got a husband and a child 
But I'll never forget
What I've given up in you


And I want
I need 
Somehow to believe 
In the choice
I made 
Am I better off this way


I can hear the voice inside my head 
Saying you should be with me instead 
Every time I'm feeling down, I wonder 
What would it be like with you around


F	Am	G	D
Ah, ah... Oh...


And I want
I need 
Somehow to believe 
In the choice
I made
Am I better off this way

If I could hold you now Just for a moment if I could make you mine
 D           E                    A

Lookin' back and longing for the freedom of my chains

D            G            D             G
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about,

D                 G                 D             
Who,s never left home who's never struck out,

           G                         D
To find a dream and a life of their own,
 
G                                   A
A place in the clouds a foundation of stone.



D          G                 D               G
Many precede and many will follow,

D                G               D             
A young girls dreams no longer hollow,

               G                   D
It takes the shape of a place out west,

         G                        A
What it holds for her she hasn't yet guessed,






She needs,

D           G      A
Wide open spaces,

D                      G         A
Room to make her big mistakes,

D               G       A
She needs new faces,

D            G   A
She knows the high stakes



D                  G         D        G           
She traveled this road as a child,

D                 G                D         G  
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired,

             G                             D
But now she won't be coming back with the rest,

              G                         A
If these are life lessons, she'll take this test



Chorus


D                   G                   D               G           
As her folks drive away her dad yells "check the oil",

D                    G                    D              
Moms stares out the window and says "I'm leaving my girl",

             G                          D    
She says "it didn't seem all that long ago,

           G                          A
When she stood there and let her own folks know"



Chorus

G C G C

G                      D
I can't find a reason, to let go

     Em                 C
Even though you found a new love,

          Em                   C
And she's what your dreams are made of.

G                    D
I can find a reason, to hang on

          Em              C
What went wrong can be forgiven,

        Em                 C        G
Without you it ain't worth living, alone.


    D       C       G         C
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,

        D       C               G
And sometimes I scream out your name.

     D              C       G    
What right does she have to take you away?

         Am      C        D
When for so long you were mine.


  G                                D
I took out all the pictures of our wedding day.

         Em               C
It was a time of love and laughter,
 
Em         C
Happy ever after.

    G                             D
But even those olds pictures have begun to fade,

       Em                C
Please tell me she's not real,

         Em                   C           G
And that you're really coming home to stay.

 
    D       C       G         C
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,

        D       C               G
And sometimes I scream out your name.

     D              C       G    
What right does she have to take your heart away?

         Am      C        D
When for so long you were mine.


F               C
 I can give you two good reasons,

   D#                  A#
To show you love's not blind.

     G             D             Em         C
He's two and she's four, and you know they adore you.

   Am           G           C               D
So how can I tell them, you've changed your mind?



    E       D         A         
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,

        E       D               A
And sometimes I scream out your name.

     E              D       A    
What right does she have to take your heart away?

         Bm     D       E
When for so long you were mine.

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       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
        F              C                G
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
