I Don't Care Just As Long As You Love Me

C                            F
She's in some honky tonk tonight I know
      G                                  C
She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low
      C                       F
In a crowded bar she likes to hang around
       G                                                 C
And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

CHORUS:
   C                         F
So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors
G                                     C
Don't let the one I love go there any more
      C                            F
Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key
      G                                  C
Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

I wish I had the power to turn back the time
And live again the hours when she was all mine
But it hurts to see her running with that crowd down
And as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down

Close Up The Honky Tonks

D
You've got me under your spell again
G
Sayin' those things again
D                                 A
Makin' me believe that you're just mine
                D
You've got me dreamin' those dreams again
   G
Thinkin' those things again
     D                A                  D
 I've got to take you back just one more time.


                               A
I swore the last time that you let me down
                               D
That I wouldn't see you if you came around
             A      D             G
But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
A                              D
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone.


Repeat Chorus


                               A
Well everybody tells me that I'm a fool
                                 D
That I never should have put my faith in you
                     A      D        G
And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
     A                              D
But no one else can make me feel the way you do.

Under Your Spell Again

Chorus:
            E                               A
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see,
B7                                        E  B7
I won't be much when you get through with me.
           E                               A
Well I'm a loosin weight and turnin mighty pail,
B7                                 E
Looks like I've gotta tiger by the tail.

E                                         A
Well I thought the day I met you you were weak as a limb,
B7                                 E     B7
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans.
E                                 A
Now the pace were livin takes the wind from the sails,
       B7                                 E
And it looks like I've gotta tiger by the tail.

Chorus

E                                   A
Well every night you drag where the bright lights are found,
B7                             E    B7
There ain't no way to slow you down.
E                          A
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gail,
       B7                                 E
And it looks like I've gotta tiger by the tail.

Tiger By The Tail

C       F
I don't know you from Adam
              C              F
But if you're gonna play the jukebox
C            F       C
Please don't play A  Eleven
                      
               F                  C
I just came in here from force of habit
                        F                C
I don't intend to spend too much time in here
              F               C
But I saw you heading for the jukebox
                  F               C
And if you play A-11  there'll be tears
 
             F               C
This used to be our favorite spot
                 F           C
And when she was here it was heaven
                F                C
It was here she told me that she loved me
               F      C
And she always played A-11

A-11

G                           C
They're gonna put me in the movies
G                                    D
They're gonna make a big star out of me
      G                                      C
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
    D                              G
And all I have to do is act naturally

CHORUS
        D                      G
Well, I bet you I'm gonna be a big star
      D                          G
Might win an Oscar you can never tell
    D                       G
The movie's gonna make me a big star,
       A                      D
'Cause I can play the part so well

Well, I hope you come and see me in the movie
Then I'll know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I have to do is act naturally


We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
Begging down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally

CHORUS

Act Naturally

G                   C         G
   Once I was happy and had a good wife,

                          A7          D7
   I had enough money to last me for life.

      G                     C         G
   I met with a gal and we went on a spree,

                              D7        G
   She tought me to smoke and drink whusky.



Chorus...

       G                  C          G
   Cigareets, whusky and wild wild women,

                                     A7         D7
   They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane.

       G                  C          G
   Cigareets, whusky and wild wild women,

                                     A7         D7
   They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane.



Verse II.

    G                    C          G
   Now I am feeble and broken with age,

                               A7           D7
   The lines on my face make a well written page.

          G                   C           G
   I'm leaving this story how sad but how true,

                           D7             G
   On women and whiskey and what they will do.


(Repeat Chorus)

     G                        C          G
   Write on the cross at the head of my grave,

                              A7           D7
   "For women and whusky here lies a poor slave".

          G                           C             G
   Take warning, dear stranger, take warning, dear friend,

                                   D7           G
   Then write in big letters these words at the end.

Cigareets Whusky And Wild Wild Women

C               G7       C
There's dust on mother's Bible 
    F                 C
Its cover's worn with age
    F                   C
And though it's old and wrinkled 
                 G7     C
Momma's there on ev-ery page

              G7     C
The night the angels called her 
      F                C
Momma called me to her side
    F             C
And handed me her Bible 
             G7          C
Said son let God be your guide


         G7              C
I picked up mother's old Bible 
   F                     C
To my heart I pressed it tight
    F                  C
And I heard her softly whisper 
                         G7    C
Son I'll meet you on the other side

            G7           C
I kissed my mother's old Bible 
    F                C
And I wiped away the dust
   F                   C
Oh you'll never know until she's gone 
                     G7       C
How you'll miss your mother's love

Perfect

Sorry I couldn't figure out the chords in the original song, nor in the Kris Allen version, but here's what I wrote

Intro: Dm, Bb, Dm, C
 
Dm
In the night I hear 'em talk,

Bb
The coldest story ever told,

Dm
Somewhere far along this road

C
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Dm, Bb, Dm, C (it continues like this for the rest of the song, the rest is just the lyrics)

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can't make it right
Im gon' take off tonight
Into the night...

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Heartless

[Intro]
C          Em                  Am              F
Feels like,  I'm standing in a timeless dream
  C         Em               Am    F
A light mist   of pale amber rose
C          Em              Am            F
Feels like,  I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Am       G            F
Touching,  discovering you


[Verse 1]
C           Em                  Am              F
Those days,  of warm rains come rushing back to me
         C        Em              Am   F
Miles of windless,   summer night air
       C       Em             Am              F
Secret moments,   shot in the heat of the afternoon
           C        Em             Am     F
Out of the stillness,   soft spoken words


[Chorus]

I love you always forever

Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

[Verse 2]
C         Em                       Am             F
You've got,  the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
C         Em                   Am    F
You've got, me almost melting away
      C        Em                      Am           F
As we lay there,   under a blue sky of pure white stars
          C        Em             Am    F
It's like sweetness,  and magical time

Everywhere, I will be with you
F

Goin' out of my mind
Am7                Em
Don't even know my own name half the time

How'd I get so blind that I couldn't se
D         E7 
What was right in front of me?

Wish I was wrong
Am7                   Em
I wish that you were right here lyin' in my arms
Am7         Em
Deep down inside I got to face the truth
D     E7            
That you're not comin' home

This looooove is over

Am7      Em                        D
Bein' my baby was just a part you played

It was all some kind of game

And just like a child
Am7          Em
Just like a child you got to have your way

This Love Is Over

Am                              Am
       In a Manner of speaking 
                     Am/G
I just want to say
                    Am/G                 F
That I could never forget the way
                      Dm
You told me everything
                  E7/G#
By saying nothing

Am                              Am
        In a manner of speaking
                  Am/G
I don't understand
                  Am/G                           F
How love in silence becomes reprimand
                            Dm
But the way that i feel about you
     E7/G# 
Is beyond words

  Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                    E7/G#
That tell me nothing
Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                   E7/G#
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words...
Give me the words
Give me the words

best with Low G
