I Just Love You

The Riddle&quot; was the first single from American singer/songwriter Five for Fighting's album Two Lights. John Ondrasik has stated that it was the hardest to write of any of his songs, taking 18 months to write. By the end, he had over 100 drafts before he came up with the final version. Although it began as a song on the meaning of life, it later evolved into a song about the love between a father and his son, inspired by his relationship with his own five-year-old son.

Intro: C x4

Verse:
C
Chances are when said and done
Am
Who'll be the lucky ones
F9                                          C
Who make it all the way?
C
Though you say I could be your answer
Am
Nothing lasts forever
F9                                                G
No matter how it feels today

Chorus:

F9            C            G                                             
Chances are we´ll find a new equation
F9              C               G  
Chances roll away from me
Am                 G               F9
Chances are all they hope to be

C 

C
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
F9
Cause though love can change the weather
Am                                                                     F9
No act of God can pull me away from you
C
I´m just a realistic man
F9
A bottle filled with shells and sand
Am                                                            F9
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
G
And though I see us through yeah

F9          C      G
Chances are we´ll find two destinations
F9          C          G
Chances roll away from me

Am   G              F9                   C
Still chances are more than expectations
F9                       Am
The possibilities
C          F9      Gm
Over me
F9
Eight to five, two to one
G
Lay your money on the sun
C                                                          Am
until you crash what have you done?
C
Is there a better bet than love?
F9
What you are is what you breathe
G
You gotta cry before you sing
F9      C G  F9     C G
Chances chances
Am               G                          F9
Chances lost are hopes torn up pages
F9
Maybe this time
C                  G                                            
Chances are we´ll be the combination
F9       C           G
Chances come and carry me
Am               G           F9
Chances are waiting to be taken
F9
And I can see
F9         C                          G
Chances are the fascination
F9           C                        G
Chances won't escape from me
Am           G                     F9
Chances are only what we make them
C   Am   F9
And all I need

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em

           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat

    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C

       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

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
