[VERSE 1]

F                        G
She don't care about my car.   [RIFF 1]
F                         G
She don't care about my money.  [RIFF 2]
F                                     G
And that's real good because I don't got alot to spend,  [RIFF 3]
F                               G
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'.

[CHORUS]

F                Am
She likes me for me
       G                 C
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
F                   Am
With the charm of Robert Redford
G              C
Oozing out my ears
F             Am
But what she sees
         G             C
Are my faults and indecisions
     F         Am
My insecure conditions
                         G            C
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed

[VERSE 2]

F                            G
She don't care about my big screen
Or my collection of dvd's
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don't watch to much TV.
F                              G
And she don't care that I can fly her
To places she ain't never been
But if she really wants to go
I think deep down she knows that
All she has to say is when...

[CHORUS 2]

She likes me for me!
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in 'Fargo'
I think his name is Steve
She's the one for me
And I just can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again.

[BRIDGE]

     G                             C
And I'm so glad I found her once again.
And I'm so glad I found her once again.

F               Am
Gazing at the ceiling
         G                           C
As we entertain our feelings in the dark
      F                              Am
The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us
            G              C
What we're made of in the end.

[CHORUS 3]
She likes me for me
Not because I sing like Pavarotti
Or because I am such a hottie (sigh)
I like her for her
Not because she's PHAT like Cindy Crawford
She has got so much to offer
Why does she waste all her time with me
There must be something there that I don't see

[CHORUS 4]

She likes me for me
Not because I'm tough like Dirty Harry
Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
Unlike "The Cable Guy"
But what she sees
Is that I can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again

[OUTRO]
Found her once again

I'm so glad I found her once again. Yeah, once again.

Intro:  A D E D (x2)

Verses:

A       D            E         D             A     D    E    D
I can't remember the last time we kissed goodbye
A         D               E         D           A   D   E	D
All our I love you's were just not enough to survive
E              C#m         D
Something your eyes never told me
         A                     E
But it's only now to plain to see
             C#m             D
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
        B          D	      E
and I'm free

(then verse again)

I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known girl
It was time and not space you would need
Darlin' tonight, I could hold you
And you would know, but would you believe

Chorus:
           A            D         E         D
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
          A             D           E         D
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
      A          D                  E           D
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
         A
There's a light in your eyes
         D               E           A    D   E   D    
Did you leave that light burning for me

Light In Your Eyes

Em             D     
Walk blindly into the light 
    C                 G
and reach out for his hand 
Em            D    
Don’t ask any questions 
          C            G
and don’t try to understand 

Em           D         
Open up your mind 
         C            G
and then open up your heart 
    Em                D   
And you will see that you and me 
       C         G
aren’t very far apart 


          Em     D       
Cause I believe 
     C           G
that love is the answer 
    Em      D         
I believe 
C                  G
love will find the way
 

Em                   D     
Violence is spread world wide 
              C                G
and there are families on the street 
    Em               D        
And we sell drugs to children now 
   C                 G
oh why can’t we just see 
     Em                D     
That all we do is eliminate our future 
         C              G
with the things we do today 
Em             D     
Money is our incentive now 
   C              G
so that makes it okay


        Em     D
But I believe 
     C           G
that love is the answer 
    Em      D
I believe 
C                  G
love will find the way 
    Em     D

I believe 
C                  G
love will find the way 
  

Em               D       
I’ve been seeing Lisa now 
      C             G
for a little over a year 
Em                   D    
She said she’s never been so happy 
    C             G
but Lisa lives in fear 
     Em                    D   
that one day daddy’s gonna find out she’s in love 
       C               G 
with a nigger from the streets 
   Em                   D                  
Oh how he would lose it then 
          C               G
but she’s still here with me 


            Em         
Cause she believes 
     D   
that love will see it through 
    C                  G
And one day he’ll understand 
Em                    D   
And he’ll see me as a person 
    C                G
and not just a black man 


          Em      D
Cause I believe  
     C           G
that love is the answer 
    Em     D
I believe 
C                  G
love will find the way 
    Em          
I believe I believe 
    D     
I believe I believe 
     C           G
that love is the answer 
    Em      D
I believe 
C                  G
love will find the way

   
C                  G 
Love will find the way 
C                  G 
Love will find the way 
C                  G
Love will find the way 
C                  G 
Love will find the way 
C                  G 
Love will find the way 
C                  G
Love will find the way

        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
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


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]

We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
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
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

[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)

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
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


Interlude   D     Bm7   G     A     x2


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

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          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    Bm7 A       Bm7 A       G                      G

Its the only chance for you

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.
