The Light Sides

Hawk Nelson was formed in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada in 2003 by Jason Dunn, Dave Clark, Matt Paige, and Daniel Biro.   The band played independently in Peterborough, Ontario for a few years before they signed with Tooth And Nail Records, largely on the recommendation of Trevor McNevan, the lead singer of fellow Tooth and Nail bands Thousand Foot Krutch and FM Static. McNevan, also from Peterborough, is credited with discovering the band.

Friend Like That

# Verse 1
C                                    G
Your life dreams are shattered, now you're gone away.
      F                             G
We've cried here for hours, and the hours turn to days.
C                           G
We know you regret this, leaving us here.
      F                           G
With pictures and memories that we've held so dear

# Pre-Chorus
Am               G                  C 
When I hear your name, it's not the same.
                    G
No matter what they say, I'm not okay

# Chorus
F                 C                        F                   G
And we started at zero, and went different ways, now we're all out
               F                       C                         F
Here wasting away and if we started at zero, then how did things change?
                  G                       
It seems like just yesterday we were the same

C G F G

# Verse 2
    C                                             G
It's been three months since he left us. So far nothing's been the same.
  F                                  G                       
And my question without answer is am I the one to blame. 
    C                                   G
And he was such a good description of a favored future man. 
    F                             G
He spoke well of other people and they said the same for him.

# Chorus
F                 C                        F                   G
And we started at zero, and went different ways, now we're all out
               F                       C                         F
Here wasting away and if we started at zero, then how did things change?
                  G                       
It seems like just yesterday we were the same, we were the same

# Verse 1
G                          D
Everytime that I close my eyes
C                                        D
I catch a glimpse of the west coast sunrise
G                                         D          C               D
And I can tell you you're just as beautiful
G                                   D
Overwhelmed by the fear and stagefright
C                                 D
You're the only one in my spotlight
G                                   D          C                     D

G  D      Em C
To shine

# Verse 2
G                             D
Still awake at the start of daylight
C                                   D
I miss you bad, but I swear I'm all right
G                                             D                 C             D
I'll see you soon when the leaves turn colorful
G                                   D
I see your face in my own reflection 
C                                                D
I scan the crowd but there's no connection
G                    D                            C                 D
Without you nothing feels like home

36 Days

A         b           E 
I saw her yesterday,and I never felt a feeling like the one I felt today
    A                        D                               F 
and now she's taking over me,I've never met anyone like you,'cause I could
                                    A 
never find the words to write you. She's been on my mind {she's working
            A                      D    E                     
      D  A 
over time.} She's got perfect reasons, says she loves to talk to Jesus I,i,i
                         D 
think I believe her when she say life can be so simple if we'd all just

learn to pray.

A                                         E                            F 
She's got every little thing I wanted and it still feels just like the day
             A                                                                  
                                                           E 
it started, so say goodbye to the broken hearted and I could never express
                             A 
the way I felt before tonight.

Use the same cords for the 2nd verse.

She's not an ordinary girl I can see it in her eyes, just an ordinary boy

God must have heard my prayer last night.

And I'm still waiting 




C            Am
You told me once 
             
You'd show up 
        F
But I fell for that 
         G     
Before I fell to pieces 
C           Am
Then I woke up 

To no one, 
          F
Just a picture of Jesus 
        G
And a house left in pieces 



BRIDGE:
F                    Am
It took the seasons going by 
    G                F
To know its not my fault 


CHORUS:
C               Am                   F
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                 G
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted 
C                Am                   F
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter 
                  G
Tried to be everything but you 


BREAK:
C 
I wanted you 
Am
I need you 
F           G           
I want to believe you 
C
I wanted you 
Am
I need you 
F           G
I want to believe you 





HALF CHORUS:(softer strumming)
C               Am                   F
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                G
tried to be everything but you 


CHORUS:(back to regular strumming)
C               Am                   F
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                 G
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted 
C                Am                    F
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter 
                G
Tried to be everything but you


CHORUS:
C               Am                   F
I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest 
                 G
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted 
C                Am                    F
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter 
                G
Tried to be everything but you

Everything You Ever Wanted

# Intro
A  E  F#m  D

# Verse 1
                       A
Can we get back to the basics?
                   C#m
Back where we came from?
        F#m
When we didn't have no worries
        D
We were basking in the sun
                          A                              C#m
Sometimes the least of my problems feel like the biggest ones
         F#m                                   D
When you said that you were leaving, felt like we had just begun

# Pre-chorus
F#m
It could be so easy
    D
Oh, if it was that easy

# Chorus
A               E
I can't sleep tonight
           F#m      D
So tell me one more time
       A                 E                F#m       D
When I dream, it will be you that's on my mind
        A         E        F#m          D
It's my heart you hold, so never let it go
        A               E              F#m      D
I still love you like I loved you long ago

# Verse 2
                       A                   C#m
Saw you out on the freeway, and later at the show
            F#m                   D
It could be my imagination, but I know I'm not alone
                       A                   C#m
All the lights in the city are burning out with time
            F#m                   D
But there's a light that hangs above, and it's keeping us in line

# Pre-chorus
F#m
It could be so easy
    D
Oh, if it was that easy

# Chorus
A               E
I can't sleep tonight

So tell me one more time
       A                 E                F#m       D
When I dream, it will be you that's on my mind
        A         E        F#m          D
It's my heart you hold, so never let it go
        A               E              F#m      D
I still love you like I loved you long ago

# Bridge
F#m                  E                D                   E
All this time that's running by won't stop until we stand still
              F#m          E               D    Dm (let ring)
'Cause we are incomplete until we finally breathe

# Chorus
A               E
I can't sleep tonight
           F#m      D
So tell me one more time

When I dream, it will be you that's on my mind

I still love you like I loved you long ago

        A               E              F#m      D
I still love you like I loved you long ago

# Outro
                         A
Let's take a look at the future
                  C#m
See where we left off
       F#m
I'm so grateful that I found you
       Dm
Cause, without you, I am lost...

Ode To Lord Stanley

C   
Jaja, okay okay
                  F
Ya sé qué pasa aquí
   A#                            C
Encuentras la grandeza frente a ti
             C
Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán
           C       F
Despierta ya, oye bien, 
           A#                   C
este como ves es Maui, de verdad
             C                F
Sé que como yo no encuentras dos
        A#          C
Lo que miras es un semi Dios

[Coro 1]
Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada
        E7               Am
Por el mar, el cielo, el sol
                F            C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada
     E7                    C
Soy sólo un ordinario semi yo

[Estrofa 2]
C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?
                        A#
Cuando eras de esta altura, éste
C                  C
  Si la noche enfrió, 
                  F
¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?
       A#          
¿Qué, alguien me nombró? 
C              C       F
  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión
          C       F
Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

[Coro 2]
Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada, 
        E7                  Am
por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
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
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada
         C
Y gracias

You Make It Real

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        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

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
