Sounds Like This

Moving Up Living Down

Pure Fiction

Eric Hutchinson (born September 8, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter. He signed with Madonna's Maverick Records, but the label shut down before his album was released. Hutchinson recorded and released the album Sounds Like This on his own. The album won praise from gossip blogger Perez Hilton, which sent it to the top ten on the iTunes Store, where it peaked at number five in September 2007 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. The album was picked up by Warner Bros. Records, who released it in May 2008.

Intro-Bb D7 Eb C7

Bb                               D7
He&#8217;s been waiting around for the weekend
                       Eb
Figuring which club to sneak in
      C7

Fancy drinks and fifty-dollar cover charge
Bb                     D7
Lately it&#8217;s been a big hassle
                 Eb

Heineken and New Castle
         C7                              Dm
So make sure he&#8217;s fitting in and living large
Cm            Eb
Disregard the lies that he will tell

              F
and what he&#8217;s probably like 'cause
Dm       Cm       Eb
It's not hard his charm is gonna
        F
Get him through the night

CHORUS
Eb             Bb
If he wants to rock he rocks
F              Bb
If he wants to roll he rolls
Eb     Bb
He can roll with the punches
F                     Bb
Long as he feels like he&#8217;s in control
Eb             Bb
If he wants to stay he stays
F              Bb
If he wants to go he goes
Eb         Bb
He doesn&#8217;t care how he gets there
F               Bb
Long as he gets somewhere he knows oh no

ah na na na na na na na na na na na

ah na na na na na na na na na na na

Verse 2

See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt
Every girl out wants to be her
But they look the same already why adjust
Reading the magazine secrets
Forgetting the topical regrets
If she comes home all alone the nights a bust
It&#8217;s a must the swivel in her hips
And the look she gives
It&#8217;s all her trust if only in the morning
She knew where she lived

CHORUS
Eb             Bb
If he wants to rock he rocks
F              Bb
If he wants to roll he rolls
Eb     Bb
He can roll with the punches
F                     Bb
Long as he feels like he&#8217;s in control
Eb             Bb
If he wants to stay he stays
F              Bb
If he wants to go he goes
Eb         Bb
He doesn&#8217;t care how he gets there
F               Bb
Long as he gets somewhere he knows oh no

ah na na na na na na na na na na na

ah na na na na na na na na na na na

Bridge
Cm Ab Eb
And in a wink they&#8217;re on the brink

From drink to drink and at the bar

With cash to blow
Cm Ab Eb
From shot to shot it&#8217;s getting hot

Advance the plot to see how far

It&#8217;s gonna go
Cm Ab Eb
All depends so ditch the friends

And grab a cab

Another chance for cheap romance
Cm      Ab                      Eb
Doesn&#8217;t count cause the room is spinning
           Dm   Dbm          Cm
Nothing to lose tonight they both are winning
         Eb                   F
And they fall in love as they fall in bed

They sing

CHORUS
If they want to rock they rock
If they want to roll they roll
They can roll with the punches
Long as they feel like they're in control
If they want to stay they stay
If they want to go they go
They don&#8217;t care how they get there
Long as they get somewhere they know oh no
ah na na na na na na na na na na na (till close)

Rock & Roll

(Verse 1)
G
I love you
         C      G       D   
From the bottom of my heart 
Am                  Em
And that's not gonna' change
                C
But things look grim
                   D        G 
When I am watching you watch him


G
I give you
           C    G          D    
The best a man can hope to give
Am                   Em
But I'm not feeling brave
             C
Chances are slim
                   D         G
When I am watching you watch him


(Chorus)
    Em      C       G
Oh, what is left to learn
              Em      C         G
When he would let you crash and burn
         Em       C
He never gives attention 
     G         Am
But you still yearn 
Em             C
Where do I fit in
                   D         G
When I am watching you watch him


(Bridge)
C                          D
 God only knows why I still wait around
Em                       A7
 Except I hate to see you cry 
      C
And I need you
              D
But there are things I cannot do


(Verse 2)
G
And I want you
          C       G       D     
When he's playing all his games 
            Am           Em        C
And it gets hard to tell whose the victim
                   D         G
When I am watching you watch him


(Chorus)
    Em      C       G
Oh, what is left to learn
              Em      C         G
When he would let you crash and burn
         Em       C      
He never gives attention 
     G        Am
But you still yearn 
Em             C
Where do I fit in
                   D         G
When I am watching you watch him


(Bridge)
C                          D
 God only knows why I still wait around
Em                       A7
 Except I hate to see you cry 
      C
And I need you
              D
But there are things I cannot do
 

(Outro)
G
And I love you 
       C      G      D     
Like a broken record plays
    Am           Em
But I'm a window pane 
          C
A phantom limb 
                   D         G
When I am watching you watch him 
          C        D         G
When I am watching you watch him 
          C        D         G
When I am watching you watch him

D               Em     A      D              Em     A
Don't let this affect the game every five months we act the same

Em              G              A
But I never get used to putting you off

D               Em     A              D      Em             A
And no one could've scripted this who knows what'll come of it

Em              G                      A
I refuse to believe it was all just a waste

CHORUS

Cause look around

G       D              A
Everybody’s on the food chain

        Em              D      G              A
Funny but from day to day we get bottom to top

        G       D      A      G
And if you get lost you start over again

                A               G              D
But we don't ever get to no we don't ever get to stop


SECONND VERSE SAME AS FIRST

I would've known better if I was on the outside

D               A                      G
I would've known better if I was on the outside


Em              
Looking in looking in

        G               A              Em
But this chain just eats away at the people who use it

        G               A              Em
No ones gonna say that it's easier losing

        G               A
Touch with who we need

                Em
When it's lonelier on the outside

Staying young is hard to do
   Am                                D                     C G D G         
So when life's getting serious, just don't take it so seriou-u-u-u-s
C   G     D     G
Ooh, oooh, oooh

[Chorus]

            C    G        D                 G 
I said now, dear me, hold on to what you've got
C                G                     D               G
Things are gonna change, but change is better than you thought
                  C             G             D            G
Said you're gonna get yourself, get yourself, get yourself together
             C             G             D            G
You're gonna get yourself, get yourself, get yourself together

[Bridge 2]

     C                G
Keep growing up, but don't get old
D                     G
Take care of what you can control
   C                    G
Respect the hearts that you will break
   D                  G
Forgive mistakes that you will make
   C            G
If I were you I would not care
     D                 G
When some old man says to beware
       C                          G
So you probably won't listen to a word I say
D                          G
probably won't listen to a word I say
C                         G
probably won't listen to a word I say
       D
You're doing ok
G

Intro: Bb, D7, Eb, C7

Bb                               D7            
He&#8217;s been waiting around for the weekend
                       Eb
Figuring which club to sneak in
      C7                            Bb
Fancy drinks and fifty-dollar cover charge
                       D7
Lately it&#8217;s been a big hassle
                 Eb
Heineken and New Castle
        C7                              Dm
So make sure he&#8217;s fitting in and living large

     Cm       Eb                      
Disregard the lies that he will tell
              F                     Dm 
and what he&#8217;s probably like &#8217;cause

Eb             Bb
If he wants to stay he stays
F              Bb
If he wants to go he goes

He doesn&#8217;t care how he gets there
F               Bb
Long as he gets somewhere he knows oh no

Eb    Bb       F              Bb

Eb    Bb       F              Bb

Bb                            D7   
See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt
                        Eb
Every girl out wants to be her
         C7                          Bb
But they look the same already why adjust
                     D7
Reading the magazine secrets
                       Eb
Forgetting the topical regrets
       C7                                Dm
If she comes home all alone the nights a bust

       Cm       Eb    
It&#8217;s a must the swivel in her hips
        F               Dm 
And the look she gives
             Cm       Gb
It&#8217;s all her trust if only in the morning
         F
She knew where she lived



Eb             Bb
If he wants to rock he rocks
F              Bb
If he wants to roll he rolls

Eb    Bb       F              Bb
ah na na na na na na na na na na na


Cm       Ab                  Bb
And in a wink they&#8217;re on the brink
              Eb       
From drink to drink and at the bar
             Cm7
With cash to blow
             Cm                 Ab 
From shot to shot it&#8217;s getting hot
            Bb              Eb  
Advance the plot to see how far
      Cm7
It&#8217;s gonna go
Cm             Ab          
All depends so ditch the friends
            Bb
And grab a cab
        Eb                 Cm7
Another chance for cheap romance
Cm      Ab                      Bb
Doesn&#8217;t count cause the room is spinning
           Dm                Cm
Nothing to lose tonight they both are winning
         Eb                   F
And they fall in love as they fall in bed


Eb              Bb
If they want to rock they rock
F               Bb
If they want to roll they roll
Eb       Bb
They can roll with the punches
F                      Bb
Long as they feel like they're in control
Eb              Bb
If they want to stay they stay
F               Bb
If they want to go they go
Eb         Bb
They don&#8217;t care how they gets there

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

I'll confess tonight your all thats on my mind
        Bm            A                   D
I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count

I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
    Em    A
lets run away.
D                             A                             Bm

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
