(talking, except things in parentheses)

Girl, I'm here for you
All those time as night
When you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fella
Baby I knew about it
I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love
Do you?
I'm here for you

I'm not about to go out on cheat you
[Eb](Maybe I'll forgive you)
Just like you did
But baby that's alright
I love you anyway
[gm7/C](Maybe you will [cm7] try)
And I'm still going to be here with you until my dying day
[Ab](We should be [Bb/G]happy together for [Ab/F] ever)
Right now
I'm just in so much pain
Cuz you just won't come back to me
(You and [Ab/Bb]I)
Will you?
Just come back

[Cm](Lonely)
Yes baby, my heart is lonely
[G+/B](Lonely)
My heart hurts
[Eb](Lonely)
Yes, I feel pain too
[A]Baby please

(back to singing)

[AbM7/Ab]This time instead just [Bb/G]come to my bed
And [Ab/F] baby just don't let me [AbM7/Bb] go

Song For Mama

C         Am7              F       Em
I long for the warmth of days gone by
  F            Em
when you were mine
    Am7        Dm7
but now those days
     F    G       C
are memories in time

           Am7          F          Em
Life's empty without you by my side
F             Em       Am7
My heart belongs to you
    Dm7     F       G 
No matter what I try

Bridge: 
               F                            Em-Am7
When I get the courage up to love somebody new
               F
It always falls apart cause they just
                   Em-Am7 
Can't compare to you
              F 
You love won't release me
                             Em 
I'm bound under ball and chain 
     Am7          Dm7       F          G            F
Reminiscing our love as I watch four season's change 

[Chorus: ]
F
 In comes the winter breeze 
        Em              Am7
 That chills the air and drifts the snow 
F                     Em           Am7
 And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
F
 When springtime makes its way here 
 Em             Am7            Dm7                 G
 Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume 
F       
 When summer burns with heat 
   Em             Am7
 I always get the hots for you 
F                         Em             Am7
 Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do 
F                                 Em
 When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare 
      Am7               Dm7                 G
When you're not here it doesn't feel the same 

C        Am7             F                Em
 Remember the nights when we closed our eyes
F                Em---Am7      Dm7                      G
 And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time

Repeat Bridge Chords:
Anytime I think about these things is shared with you 
I break down and cry cause I get so emotional 
Until you release me I'm bound under ball and chain 
Reminiscing our love as I watch four seasons change 


[Chorus]
F               Em7
 This loneliness
                Am7
 Has crushed my heart 
                        Dm7
 Please let me love again 
                  F                                  Em - Am7
 Cause I need your love to comfort me and ease my pain 
         Dm7                    F        G       F       
 Or four seasons will bring the loneliness again  

Chorus

....I long for...the warmth of...days gone by

Mama

Verse 1:
C                      G           Am      G
We don't even talk anymore
C                       G                   Am         G
We don't even know what we argue about
C                            G                Am         G
Don't even say "I love you" no more
C                        G             Am         G
Saying how we feel is no longer aloud

Bridge:

Some people work things out and
Am                       G                   D/F#

                   F                      Em               Dm
We might watch our whole lives pass us by

Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
                       Dm                C                G
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives

Don't do it baby, ooh...

Verse2:
C                            G               Am         G

Cause we both have a pain that lies deep in our hearts
C                          G                   Am         G

Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart

Bridge2:
F                  E

Am              G                D/F#
Why do we push love away?

Chorus

Bridge

This song was written and produced by the team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Speaking with Songfacts  about this song in a 2011 interview, Jam explained: : &quot;Boyz II Men, they're so incredibly talented. 'On Bended Knee' came up because we didn't work on their first album, we got to know them on their second album. And our thought was that they sing what we'd like to call 'begging' songs really, really well.

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané

  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

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

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

            F                 C                 G

             F                    C                G

       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
