Intro:
C# F# Bbm G#


C#            F#
My debut's coming soon
          Bbm                    G#
And you already know what I'm gonna do
 C#                     F#
You got my time on a dotted line
         Bbm                     G#
But you show up invited *and* before I sign it
        Bb/G                 G#
Someone say I'm not making mistakes
                     F#
But please don't be fake

C#

C#              F#
My debut comes today
          Bbm             G#
And my feelings have all run away
          C#                F#
With the man that I am but understand
       Bbm                   G#
If I don't keep going it'll just go to show
          Bb/G              G#                 F#
That I've been beat by an industry I've never seen

Chorus
        C#         F#            Bbm                   G#
This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
             C#        F#      Bbm                      G#
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all from me, *just* take it all
        C#
This is me

Verse 2: Same as Verse One

So the crowd gets quiet I start to play
And I think they're buying what I've got to say
But to my defiance the music fades
And we all sit silent and I crawl back inside
Because it wasn't supposed to go this bad

Chorus Again

*This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all from me, just take it all
This is me*

Bridge

            F#                 C#/F
*And* when you grow silent I start to fall
      Bbm                G#
when you grow silent I start to fall

*This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all from me, just take it all
This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all from me, just take it all*

Industry

G-C-Em-C
She loves her mama's lemonade,
Hates the sounds that goodbyes make.
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her.

She swears that there's no difference,
Between the lies and complements.
It's all the same if everybody leaves her.

Am-C-Am-C
And every magazine tells her she's not good enough,
The pictures that she sees make her cry.

Chorus
G-D-Em-C
And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,
And she needs someone to take her home.

G-C-Em-C
She's giving boys what they want, tries to act so nonchalant,
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction.

She never stays the same for long,
Assuming that she'll get it wrong.
Perfect only in her imperfection.

Am-C-Am-C
She's not a drama queen,
She doesn't want to feel this way, only seventeen but tired

G-D-Em-C
She would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,
But she just needs someone to take her home.

Em-C-D-G
Cuz she's just the way she is, but no ones told her that's ok.

Chorus
G-D-Em-C
And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,
G-D-Em-C
And she would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,

G-C-Em-C
But she just needs someone to take her home
And just needs someone to take her home.

Beautiful Disaster

Intro
Bb C  F

     F            Bb                 F
I'm glad i never lived next to the water.
   Bb             C                 F
So I could never get used to the beach.
         Bb           C              F
and I'm glad I never grew up on a mountain.
     C
to figure out how high the world could reach.
   F         Bb                      F
I love the miles between me and the city.
          Bb        C            F
where I quietly imagine every street.
         Bb             C            F     Dm
and I'm glad I'm only picturing the moment.
      Bb            C                F
I'm glad she never fell in love with me.

Same First Verse Chords

for some the world's a treasure to discover.
and your scenery should never stay the same.
and they're trading in their dreams for explanations.
all in an attempt to entertain.
but I love the miles between me and the city.
where I quietly imagine every street.
and I'm glad I'm only picturing the moment
I'm glad she never fell in love with me

      Am                             Bb
the trick of love is to never let it find you.
      F                        A
it's easy to get over missing out.
           Dm         F      Dm           F
I know the how's and whens, but now and then,
              C
she's all I think about.

I wonder how it feels to be famous.
but wonder is as far as I will go.
because I'd probably lose myself in all the pictures,
and end up being someone I don't know.
so it's probably best I stay in Indiana,
just dreaming of the world as it should be
where every day is a battle to convince myself
I'm glad she never fell in love with me.

Hey, honestamente te explicaré

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
Am	            G	       F   C
   You make it real for me 

Chorus:

And IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby
G    Am	              F	           C

1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em

        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  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

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
