Girl, I'm here for you

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

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

Cuz you just won't come back to me

Will you?
Just come back

End Of The Road

G               D        C           D G    
How do I say goodbye to what we had
        C                                   G                             D 
The good time that made us laugh, out weigh the bad
                       G                B7
I thought we'd get to see forever
            G      D         C  
but forevers gone away
          G                        D        C D G  
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

Verse 2
            G                       D           C          D G 
I don't know where this road is going to lead 
       C                              G                            D 
All I know is where we've been and what we've been through    
         G                B7
If we get to see tomorrow
  G           D               C
I hope its worth all the wait
          G                        D        C D G  
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

Chorus (x2)
            G                         B7
And I'll take with me the memories
    G                     D             C
to be my sunshine after the rain
          G                        D        C D G  
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

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:
F                       E
Some people work things out and
Am                       G                   D/F#
Some just don't know how to change

Chorus:
                    F               Em           Dm
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
                   F                      Em               Dm
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
                 Am               G               F      D/F#
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
                       Dm                C                G
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
                               C  G  Am G
Don't do it baby, ooh...

Verse2:
C                            G               Am         G
They can see the tears in our eyes
C                                   G                  Am                 G
Cause we both have a pain that lies deep in our hearts
C                          G                   Am         G
Well baby that's a pain we can hide
C                           G                          Am            G
Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart

Bridge2:
F                  E
Why do we hurt each other?
Am              G                D/F#
Why do we push love away?

Chorus

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
          C                          F      Em  C
....I long for...the warmth of...days gone by

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
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
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]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
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
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change

No no no no

We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)

No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime

(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[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
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike

But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right

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

Son, I missed my chance

Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

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.

No Bravery

Capo 2

Intro: G


G
Well let me tell you something let me tell you so

This could be the one thing that you really need to know
           C
You got to stop once in a while
                    G
And shake off that face of yours
       Em                       Bm
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
Em                                 Bm                 D
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister


       G
Well I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
           C                                                     G
She said "Don't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulously
   Em                                Bm
I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
             Em                             Bm               D
I said "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke oh sister"


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

  
      G
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be
          C                                               G
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
              Em                            Bm
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
          Em                            Bm              D
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
