intro- F#m D  A E (X2)

 
F#m      D             A    E
   I was sitting on my doorstep,
F#m           D                 A         E      F#m
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
      D              A  E
But I knew I had to do it,
    D   
And he wouldn't understand,
F#m        D              A   E
So hard to see myself without him,
F#m      D           A     E
I felt a piece of my heart break,
F#m             D             A    E
But when you're standing at a crossroad,
         D
There's a choice you gotta make.

[Chorus:]
                           A
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
                          E
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
                   F#m
And let go of some things I've loved,
                    D
To get to the other side,
                            A
I guess it's gonna break me down,
                             E
Like falling when you try to fly,
                        F#m                             D
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
            A             E
Starts with goodbye.

F#m        D            A   E
  I know there's a blue horizon,
F#m       D              A           E
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
F#m     D                   A      E
Getting there means leaving things behind,
           D
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.

[Chorus:]
                           A
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
                          E
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
                   F#m
And let go of some things I've loved,
                    D
To get to the other side,
                            A
I guess it's gonna break me down,
                             E
Like falling when you try to fly,
                        F#m                             D
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
            F#m   E D  F#m E A D
Starts with goodbye.



Time, time heals,

The wounds that you feel,
C              D
Somehow, right now.

[Chorus:]
                           A
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
                          E
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
                   F#m
And let go of some things I've loved,
                    D
To get to the other side,
                            A
I guess it's gonna break me down,
                             E
Like falling when you try to fly,
                        F#m                             D
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
            A   E F#m D
Starts with goodbyyyyye.

Chorus Again- Fade with F#m D E A

Starts With Goodbye

C                  Bb     C
Said the night wind to the little lamb

C
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)

C                 Bb     C
Way up in the sky little lamb

C
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?) 

Am
A star, a star

Em
Dancing in the light

       F       G        E7
With a tail as big as a kite

       F       G        C 
With a tail as big as a kite

Do You Hear What I Hear

Em                                  G
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
               Em                              G
All dressed in white, going to the church that night
            Em                             G
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
               Em                              G
Six pins and a shoe, something borrowed, something blue


             C            Em
And when the church doors opened up wide
            C         Em                  G
She put her veil down trying to hide the tears
       
Oh she just couldn't believe it
              C                 
She heard the trumpets from the military band
        D
And the flowers fell out of her hands


(Chorus)
G
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
      Em                                  C
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
G               D
I can't even breathe
              G 
It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Em                                       C
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
              G            D
This can't be happening to me
                   Em   G 
This is just a dream


The preacher man said let us bow our head and pray
Lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up
And sang the saddest song that she ever heard


Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been
And then guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart


(Chorus x2)

Home Sweet Home

[Intro:]      C       D      C      D


[Verse]
           C
 He said I've been where you've been before
      D
 Down every hallway's a slamming door
  C
 No way out, no one to come and save me
  D
 Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me
       C
 Then somebody said what I'm saying to you
 D
 Opened my eyes and told me truth
           C
 He said "just a little faith and it'll all get better"
          D
 So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm 


 [Chorus]
G    Bm
 Changed
               Em  C
 And now I'm stronger
                                      G     Bm
 There must've been something in the water
                                        Em     C
 Oh there must've been something in the water


 [Verse]
          C
 Well I heard what he said and I went on my way
          D
 Didn't think about it for a couple of days
          C
 Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
       D
 I was all out of hoping, all out of fight
           C
 Couldn't fight back my tears so I fell on my knees
         D
 Saying God if you're there come and rescue me
  C
 Felt love pouring down from above
        D
 Gotta washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I'm 


[Chorus]
G    Bm
 Changed
               Em  C
 And now I'm stronger
                                 G     Bm
 There must be something in the water
                                   Em     C
 Oh there must be something in the water


 [Bridge]
              G
 And now I'm singing all along to Amazing Grace
       Bm
 Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
      Em
 Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
   C                                      
 Thank God Almighty, I saw the light
        G
 Gonna looked ahead, no turning back
  Bm
 Live everyday, give it all that I have
  Em
 Trusting someone bigger than me
       D
 Ever since the day that I believed I am 


[Chorus]
G    Bm
 Changed
               Em  C
 And now I'm stronger
                                 G     Bm
 There must be something in the water
                                   Em     C
 Oh there must be something in the water
                                 G     Bm
 There must be something in the water
                                   Em     C
 Oh there must be something in the water

Something In The Water

F#m E A B F#m E A C#

F#m              E                           A
Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp, 
            B
and she's probably getting frisky... 
F#m               E                        A                            B
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...
F#m               E                            A                      B                  A
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo... 
              C#
And he don't know...
 
        F#m          A                  E                      B
That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
F#m               A               C# 
carved my name into his leather seat...
          F#m                    A 
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
E                  B 
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
     A                     E                 F#m   E A C#
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. 

Right now, she's probably up singing some 
white-trash version of Shania karoke.. 
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk" 
and he's a thinking that he's gonna lucky, 
Right now, he's probably dabbing 3 dollars worth of that bathroom Polo... 
And he don't know... 

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive, 
carved my name into his leather seat, 
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights, 
slashed a hole in all 4 tires... 

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. 
A        E                               B
I might saved a little trouble for the next girl,
          D                        E      
Cause the next time that he cheats... 
                                F#m E A B      
Oh, you know it won't be on me! 
                F#m E A C#
Ohh... not on me... 

Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive, 
carved my name into his leather seat... 
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights, 
slashed a hole in all 4 tires... 
A                      E                  F#m E  
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. 
A                            E                   F#m E A B
Ohh.. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...

Ohh... before he cheats...

Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray 
           A              Bm
I haven't done this in a while

D               A/C#            Cadd9            G         
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol' place

I know there are more important things, but 
         Em7       A     D   G

Don't Forget To Remember Me

Intro: A G A G | D G D G | A G A G | D G A


Chorus
    A                         G
I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
          D                   G
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
      A                      G
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
    D                         G           A
I'm hiding from storm till the damage gets done


G           D                A
Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me why
          G                 D             A
You gotta make me, make me, make me, make me cry, oh Lord
     G             D                     A
If I told you once I told you a thousand times
          Bm
You can't knock me off my feet
          E
When I'm already on my knees


Chorus


Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me how
You think you're gonna live without my love now
I don't know why you gotta keep coming around
Creeping up my street 
Boy you can't bother me


Chorus


Am                        Cm 
You ain't gonna get to me tonight
                                       Am 
I'll lay right here 'til it all blows through
                      
I ain't gonna raise my body
           E
Till there ain't no sign, till there ain't no sign

Till there ain't no sun to you

Flat On The Floor

Intro: C F C G

       C
Where 69 meets 40, 

There's a single stop light town, 
     F
And back when I was really young, 
 Am                      G
Part of that burned down, 
    C
On any given Friday night, 

We'd drive a hundred miles, 
              F
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store, 
  Am                   G
Laughin' all the while, 
         Am             G
With as many friends as I could pack, 
 F
In my daddy's Ford, 
       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

     C
My hotel in Manhattan, 
             F         
Holds more people than our town, 
         C
And what I just paid for dinner, 
                   G
Would be a down payment on a house, 
                Am              G
I'd rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa, 
              F
Then hailing cabs here in New York, 
       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 


Chorus:
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 
                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 
          F
The Oklahoma kind. 
      

       C
In a world of long red carpets, 
             F
The bright lights of Hollywood, 
            C
All the paparazzi flashin' 
            G
Can make a girl feel pretty good, 
               Am         G
You can get anything you want here, 
  F            
Except a Wal-Mart store, 
       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 


Chorus:               
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 
                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 
          F
The Oklahoma kind. 
          
       
             G
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads, 

Old Settler's day and the Okrafest, 

After prom down at the bowling lanes, 

Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake, 
   Am   G     F             Fsus4
I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

F C Fsus4 F   G  
         Oh Yeah...

Chorus:

I'm in a world so wide, 
                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 
          F
The Oklahoma kind, 
       Am   G     F
But I ain't in Checotah, 
      Am   G     F
No I ain't in Checotah, 
              Am          G   F
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma.

   D                          A
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
     Bm                   A
On a snow white Christmas Eve
D                     A      
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
         Bm              A 
With the baby in the backseat
      D                       A               Bm            A 
Fifty miles to go and she was running low, on faith and gasoline 
            G
It'd been a long hard year 
          D                       A
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention 
        Bm            A
She was going way too fast
    D          A
And before she knew it she was spinning
     Bm                  A 
On a thin black sheet of glass
        D                      A
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
Bm                    A
She didn't even have time to cry
         G                        D
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air


[Chorus]

               A
Jesus take the wheel
                E
Take it from my hands
                      Bm      D 
Cause I can't do this on  my  own 
            A
I'm letting go
                    E
So give me one more chance
                  Bm       D
Save me from this road I'm on
               D     A  Bm  A  D  A  G
Jesus take the wheel
 

[Verse]

         D                           A
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
        Bm            A
And the car came to a stop
      D                     A 
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Bm              A
Sleeping like a rock
             D               A
And for the first time in a long time
    Bm                A
She bowed her head to pray
             G                  D
She said I'm sorry for the way, I've been living my life
  G                                D
I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight


[Chorus]

               A
Jesus take the wheel
                E
Take it from my hands
                      Bm    D
Cause I can't do this on my own
            A
I'm letting go
                      E
Just give me one more chance
                  Bm       D
Save me from this road I'm on
                  A     E  Bm  D 
Oh Jesus take the wheel 
                A
Ohh I'm letting go
                     E
So give me one more chance
                  Bm       D 
Save me from this road I'm on
               Bm       D 
Just from this road I'm on
               A    Bm
Jesus take the wheel
A            D            A
Oh, take it, take it from me
Bm  A      Bm -  A  
Oh  whaaaa ooooh......

 Calling me back in time, back to you
G
 In a place far away
                  Em
 Where the water meets the sky

 You are my tomorrow

What you got if you aint got love
D                     A
The kind that you just wanna give away
Bm            G
It's okay to open up
D                                  A
Go ahead and let the light shine through
Bm                      G
I know it's hard on a rainy day

You wanna shut the world out

Chorus
G                 Bm                  A
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing

Is just a grain of sand
G                           Bm           A
What you've been out there searching for forever,
G      Bm   A
Is in your hands
G                    D       A        Bm
When you figure out love is all that matters, after all
G             F#m         D
It sure makes everything else
Bm
Seem so small

VERSE 2 (same as VERSE 1)
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big, at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sittin round thinking about what you can't change
And worryin' about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count, cause you can't get it back


Chorus (Same except G on the last line)
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
G
Seem so small


Chorus (Same as 1st time-Bm)
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes eveyrthing else

There's A Place For Us

Intro: G 

Verse1
G
Standing at the back door, she tried to make it fast.
Em
One tear hit the hardwood, if fell like broken glass
             C                              D
She said sometimes love slips away, and you just can't get it back.
     G   
Lets face it. For one split second, she almost turned around.
               Em
But that would be like pouring rain drops, back into a cloud.
        C                        D                            G
So she took another step, said I see the way out and I'm gonna take it.


Chorus:
G
I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting, 
   Em
to wake up one day and find, 
          C                      D   G
that I've let all these years go by, wasted.


Verse2

G
Another glass of whiskey, but it still don't kill the pain.
      Em
So he stumbles to the sink, and pours it down the drain.
             C                          D
He said it's time to be a man, and stop living for yesterday.
       G
Gotta face it.

Chorus

Bridge:

         C                            D              G
She kept driving along, till the moon and the sun, were floating side by 

side.
      C                          D                G
He looked in the mirror, and his eyes were clear, for the first time, in a 
 C
while.

Chorus 2x

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
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 (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm             A
We like it in the nighttime

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

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
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
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

Come Together

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.
