   Nanay ko'y laging wala, naroon sa kapit-bahay
         Am                        Em
   Sa madyunga'y natatalo, kaya't mainit ang ulo
          G                       D
   Tatay ko'y laging lasing, umaga na kung dumating
     Am                    Em
   Hindi matatanong, baka ikaw ay sipain
           G                     D
   Lagi silang nag-aaway, naririnig ng kapit-bahay
        Am                  Em
   At ako'y minumura, ako'y anak daw ng tupa

   Naglalakad (akong/kaming) walang pupuntahan

         G                       D
   Ako nama'y anak-mayaman, ang daddy ko'y businessman
      Am                        Em
   Wala siyang panahon sa mommy kong nalulumbay
          G                 D
   Ang mommy ko'y naghanap, siya'y kumaliwa
      Am                   Em
   Ngunit sa daddy ko, siya pala'y balewala
            G             D
   Ano ang aking gagawin, hindi pinapansin
       Am                Em
   Ngayo'y naririto, humihitit nitong damo

   Saan (ako/kami) patutungo
      C                   Em
   Kaliwa ba o kanan o deretso

          G              D
   Kami ngayo'y naririto, hanap ay di alam
          Am                     Em
   Huwag sanang sisihin, bagkus kami'y kahabagan

   Intro: (do chords of 1st stanza)

                     (Spoken)
          Noong kumakanta pa ko sa Olongapo
          Ay mayroong isang babae do'n na nagtatrabaho
                  sa isang night club
          Na nakapagkuwento sa 'kin tungkol
                  sa kanyang buhay
          Kung bakit daw n'ya pinasok
             'yong gano'ng klaseng trabaho
          Ang lungkot no'ng k'wento eh
          Para bang yung mga nababasa natin sa komiks
          Napa-iyak nga s'ya eh
          Di n'ya alam, ginawa ko s'ya ng isang kanta
          At kung naririnig n'ya ko ngayon
          Ito'y para sa kanya...

                 Bm                 A            Bm
   Ang nanay n'ya'y naglalaba, ang tatay n'ya'y pagod
    G            D        E        A
   Galing sa trabaho, wala pang tulog
      Bm            G         Bm   G
   Si Nena'y nagbabasa, nag-aaral pa
       Em        Bm       F#         Bm
   Nag-iisang anak ng kanyang ama't ina
    G           D          A          Bm--G--D--A--D--F#7 pause
   Tanging pag-asa ng kanyang ama't ina

                 Bm                 A            Bm
   Ang nanay n'ya'y umiiyak, ang tatay n'ya'y patay
    G          D        E        A
   Naipit ng makina doon sa pabrika
      Bm                G       Bm       G
   Sinikap ng kanyang nanay na sila ay mabuhay
     Em        Bm     F#      Bm
   Sa paglalaba ay tumulong s'ya
      G           D         A       Bm--G--D--A--D--
   Si Nena'y natigil sa pag-aaral n'ya

                Chorus
    G               D
   Lumaki si Nena, di nakapag-aral
     G                D          E
   Di natitiyak kung ano ang bukas
            D         D7         G      E
   O, kay hirap ng buhay na kanyang dinanas
    G            D             A          Bm--G--D--A--D--F#7 pause
   Ang tanong niya'y, "kailan ito magwawakas?"

            Bm                   A         Bm
   Ang nanay n'ya'y nakahiga, mata'y nakapikit
      G             D     E         A
   Sa labis na trabaho, ito'y nagkasakit
      Bm            G        Bm           G
   Si Nena'y nababalisa, kailangan n'ya'y pera
     Em        Bm     F#      Bm
   Walang mauutangan, saan kukuha?
        G           D         A       Bm--G--D--A--D--
   Kailangan niya'y pera, saan s'ya kukuha?

                Chorus
    G               D
   Lumaki si Nena, kaakbay ay hirap
     G                D          E
   Di natitiyak kung ano ang bukas
            D         D7         G      E
   O, kay hirap ng buhay na kanyang dinanas
    G            D             A          Bm--G--D--A--D--F#7 pause
   Ang tanong niya'y, "saan ito magwawakas?"

   Bm                 A       Bm
   Bago dumilim, si Nena'y umaalis
    G           D        E           A
   Laging naka-make-up, maiksi ang damit
   Bm          G    Bm      G
   Ang itsura n'ya ay kaakit-akit
   Em          Bm    F#           Bm
   Bukas na ng umaga ang kanyang balik
   G       D              A          Bm--G--D--A--D--
   Ayaw ni Nena, ngunit s'ya'y nagigipit

   Adlib: F#7 pause  Bm--A--B--
           Oh        hmmm
          G  D  E  A
          Nena, Nena
           Bm--G--Bm--G(7)--
          Hmmm...

            Coda
   Em         Bm     F#        Bm
   Tulad ni Nena, marami pang iba
    G     D     A       Bm--G--D--A--Bm--G--D--A--D--F# pause B
   Kahit saan maraming Nena

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#

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

Overreacting

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
