The rest of the world fades from view 

               E      B    D      F#      D       B      F# 
And all of the love I see please, please say you feel it too 

               E       B     F# 
And all of the noise I hear inside 

             E        B         F# 
Restless and loud, unspoken and wild 

                 E       B 
And all that you need to say 

           D       F# 
To make it all go away 

            D        B        F# 
Is that you feel the same way too 

      F#                                B 
And I know the scariest part is letting go 

                                Db 
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control 

                                      Abm 
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now 

            B         Db          F# 
So let the words slip out of your mouth 

               E           B          F# 
And all of the stairs that lead me to you 

               E      B           F# 
And all of the hell I had to walk through 

      E        B                   D         F# 
But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say

My love I’m in love with you 

      F#                                B

Ebm                D 
I know that we’re both afraid 

                 F# 
We both made the same mistakes 

        Abm                          Ebm 
An open heart is an open wound to you 

                     D 
And in the wind of a heavy choice 

           F# 
Love has a quiet voice 

          Abm                    B 
Still you mind, now I’m yours to choose 

      F#                                B 
And I know the scariest part is letting go 

                                         Db 
Let my love be the light that guides you home 

      F#                                B 
And I know the scariest part is letting go 

                                Db 
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control 

                                      Abm 
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now

VERSE 1:

C
Heartbeats fast
             Am
Colours and promises
           F
How to be brave
          G             C  
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
                  Am
But watching you stand alone
           F               G         Dm--
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
          F    G
One step closer


CHORUS:
C
I have died everyday waiting for you
Am
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

I love you for a thousand more

 C-pause

Beauty in all she is
          F
I will be brave
           G                C
I will not let in if it takes away
                   Am
What's standing in front of me
      F
Every breath
       G               Dm--
Every hour has come to this
         F    G
One step closer

CHORUS:

C
I have died everyday waiting for you
Am
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
    F
For a thousand years
                   G
I love you for a thousand more
C
And all along I believed I would find you
Am
Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you
    F
For a thousand years
                  G
I love you for a thousand more

 
C, Am, F, G

Verse 1:

C                                                    Em
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
    C                                                          Em

and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

C                                                       Em
How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around?
C                                                      Em

  C                                                         Em
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

I never truly loved till

Em                       D                         C
Bending and breaking the rules that we're making exceptions too
     G                                Bm
But how does it feel, to swim in your own tears

         C
And now you know why...

I can hold my breath

Be your number one

And I crash and I break down
                       Em                          C
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
                    G               D
You build me up and then I fall apart
          Em        C      G      D       Em      C      G      D
Im only human

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

Intro: C C C C

C                       G
Im scared today, more than I told you I was yesterday
                      Am
Give me a moment to catch my breath
             F
And hold me every second left

C                                G
Proud of me, thats the only way I want you to be
       Am                    F
Look at me and love what you see

Dm              Am                         C             G
I wont make it alone, I need something to hold

Chorus
C                            G 
Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me its not over
Am                            F                   
I promise to always come home to you
C                          G
Remind me that Im older to be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
Am                                      F
And dont give up on what were trying to do
G                               C
Dont count the miles, count the I love yous


C                           G
We made it out, and all the other people are asking how
                    Am                F
This doesnt even sound like truth to grow from a bruise
C                            G
But one day we will realize how hard it was, how hard we tried
     Am                         F
And how our hearts made it out alive

Chorus
C                            G 
Kiss me on my shoulder, and tell me its not over
Am                            F

Dont count the miles, count the I love yous


G                    Am          C
And these are words I wished you said
G              Am         C
But thats not how it went
            G        Am         C
Cause you gave up on us in the end

Dm               Am                           C         G 
And I wont make it alone, I need something to hold

Miles

Gm           D
Two AM where do I begin
Eb             Bb    D
Crying off my face again
Gm                  D
The silent sound of loneliness
Eb               Bb     D
Wants to follow me to bed
 
      Gm          F           Bb          Gm
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most
        Gm          F           Gm        D
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well
 
Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                       Bb        D
Can the lonely take the place of you
  Gm                  D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D
To take my heart again
 
Gm            D
Too afraid to go inside
Eb                        Bb        D
For the pain of one more loveless night
Gm                      D
But the loneliness will stay with me
Eb                 Bb    D
And hold me til I fall asleep
 
      Gm          F           Bb          Gm
I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most
        Gm           F           Gm         D
I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well
 
Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                       Bb        D
Can the lonely take the place of you
  Gm                  D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D
To take my heart again
 
Gm  F   Bb  F   Gm
Broken pieces of 
  Gm F   Bb    F    Cm    Bb   
a barely breathing story
Gm      F    Bb   F    Eb 
Where there once was love
Gm    F      Bb F  Cm         D D7               
Now there's only me and the lonely
 
Gm                   D
Dancing slowly in an empty room
Eb                       Bb        D
Can the lonely take the place of you
  Gm                  D
I sing myself a quiet lullaby
Eb                      Bb
Let you go and let the lonely in
           D
To take my heart again

Cuando eras de esta altura, éste

De nada, para estirar tu diversión

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
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

G      Em
I found a love for me

Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

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
