Desireless

Eagle-Eye Lanoo Cherry (born 7 May 1971 in Scania, Sweden) is a Swedish singer known best for his hit Save Tonight. Cherry comes from a musical family that includes sister Neneh Cherry, father Don Cherry and half-sister on his Swedish side Titiyo. Soon after he was born, he moved to New York with his father, where he began acting and playing music.  After Don Cherry's death in 1995, Eagle-Eye moved to Stockholm with his girlfriend, and began to focus on songwriting. He soon recorded Desireless, and it became a hit across Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, and an American release came in 1998.

1.
Em, D, C, G
He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride
Em, D, C, G
Wasn't in the plan to be gone for long
Em, D, C, G
But he keeps looking back over his shoulder
Em, D, C, G
He knows that something might go wrong
Em, D, C, G
The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure
Em, D, C, G
Strange mood what is the cure
Em, D, C, G
He's got that feeling of impending doom
Em, D, C, G
Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb



Ref.
Em, D, C, G
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Em, D, C, G
Boy you gotta learn what's true
Em, D, C, G
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Em, D, C, G
The joke is on you
Em, D, C, G
You ought to know better
You ought to know better

2.
He is determined to outsmart this snake
With conviction he will stand his ground
Feeling invincible like death itself
His immortality won't be found
What should he say at his own wake
That he refuses to fulfil his fate
He doesn't know that this is his last drive
On the road we call life

Ref: --//-- --//--

Am, Em
Ohhh, Ohhh

You can't play around
Em
And you ought to know
C
You ought to know better

You ought to know better

Death Defied By Will

Am   C    G    F
Falling In Love Again 

Well I'm so tired
Of falling in love
Finding it easier to fall out
You can't deny it
I feel it inside Cupid's fire
I can't hide

But I'm falling in love again
Ain't nothing I can do
Falling in love again
Girl this time it's with you
When I fall
It's always the same
And I'm so tired
Of playing this game
(...)

Hey, honestamente te explicaré

El mar, el sol, el gas,

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

  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
        F              C                 G
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
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       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


             F                    C                G

King Creole

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
