C                Em Am  C                                         Em                                    Am
This is my face,       covered in freckles with an occasional spot and some veins.
This is my body, covered in skin, and not all of it you can see
And, this, is my mind,   it goes over and over the same old lines
And, this, is my brain, it's torturous analytical thoughts make me go insane

C              Am
And I use mouthwash,
C                        Am
And sometimes I floss,
C              Am
I've got a family,
                    Em
And I drink cups of tea.

I've got nostalgic pavements,
I've got familiar faces,
I've got mixed up memories,
And I've got favourite places.

Am                               Em
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night
Am                               Em
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night
Am                               Em                                                                 Am
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright
Am                               Em                                                                 Am
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright.

C                Am Em  C                                                   Am                    Em
This is my face,        I've got a thousand opinions and I've got time to explain,
And this, is my body, no matter how you try and disable it yes it'll still be here.
And this is my mind, and although you try to infringe you cannot confine,
And this is my brain, and even if you try and hold me back there's nothing that you can gain.

C              Am
And I use mouthwash,
C                        Am
And sometimes I floss,
C              Am
I've got a family,
                    Em
And I drink cups of tea.

I've got nostalgic pavements,
I've got familiar faces,
I've got mixed up memories,
And I've got favourite places.

Am                               Em
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night
Am                               Em
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night
Am                               Em                                                                 Am
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright
Am                               Em                                                                 Am
I'm singing uh-oh on a Friday night and I hope everything's gonna be alright.

Mouthwash

Verse 1:

C          F                  C                F
Simply knowing you exist ain't good enough for me,
    C          F                          C                 F   
But asking for your telephone number seems highly inappropriate,
C      F  G F       C       F        G        F
Seeing as I can't even say "hi" when you walk by
         C                          F
And that time you shook my hand, it felt so nice
        C                              F
I swear I've never felt this way about any other guy
    C               F                     C      G
and I don?t usually notice people's eyes, but...


Verse 2:

      C                F
I conducted a plan to bump into you most accidentally, 
C                             F
but I was walking along and I bumped into you much more heavily 
C                                     F
than I'd originally planned and it was well embarrassing
           C                                          F
and I think you?ve thought, that I was a bit of a twat
    C      F          G        F
Oh, I just think that we'd get on,
  C                     F
I wish I could tell you face to face
    G                  F 
instead of singing this stupid song,
     C                      F              C G
but yeah I just think, that we might get on 


Verse 3:

     C            G              Am                    F
So I went to that party everyone they were kind of arty
          C                            G             
And I was wearing this dress, 'cause I wanted to impress
  Am                             F          
I wasn't sure if I look my best, 'cause I was so nervous
    C                       G
But I carried on regardless strutting through each room 
       Am      F
trying to find you
           C                 G          Am          F
And when I saw you kissing that girl my heart, it shattered
       C          G                  Am                F
and my eyes, they watered and when I tried to speak I stuttered
       C                              G                   
And my friends were like "Whatever, you'll find someone better,
    Am                               
his eyes are way too close together 
F                 C
and we never even liked him from the start
    G                             Am                                  F
And now he's with that tart and I heard she'd done some really nasty stuff
                          C                    
down in the park with Michael, he said she's easy 
        G                                           Am
and if your guys are with someone who's that's sleazy
                                F                                 C
then he ain't worth your time, ?cause you deserve a real nice guy"
     G            Am                  F
So I proceeded to get drunk and to cry
               C                       G        Am F
and I locked myself in the toilets the entire night


Verse 4:

C              F  
Saturday night, I watch Channel 5
      C               F
I particularly like CSI
C                   F 
I don't ever dream about you and me,
  C                                                         F
I don't ever make up stuff about us that would be considered insanity,
C       F          G       F                      C
I don't ever drive by your house to see if you're in,
             F               C                  F
I don't even have an opinion on that tramp that you are still seeing,
C                            F                          C
I don't know your timetable, I don't know your face off by heart,
                F               C        F       
But I must admit that there is a part of me that still thinks,
C       F             C       F             C        F      C
we might get on, that we could get on, that we should get on...

We Get On

Chorus
F                                   Am
My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
	G				        F
and I know that I should let go, but I can't.

Am                                      G
And every time we fight I know it's not right, every time that you're upset
      F					     G
and I smile. I know I should forget, but I can't

C          F          C             G
How did it get to 3 am? I wish that I could call
    C                  F          C          G               C
But I know that you're probably asleep. Do I really have to get
C         F            C              G
Used to being alone again? I wish that I could call,
    C               F           C              G              C
But I know that you are my best friend. Do you really have to dream?
C          F        C       G            C
I'm perfectly happy in reality I'm wike awake
C        F                    C           G              C
I think about the things that I will do tomorrow and I'm trapped
C          F                C         G             C
Things are dark outside and everybody else is fast asleep
C          F              C            G           C
My hand is glued to the remote. The TV has already said,
C             F           C                G             C
'Tonight I'm frozen in my sleep' I want to move but I'm afraid
C        F         C              G           C
I suffer with anxiety and I don't want to be alone!
C          F              C      G
You see, I want to be with

C        F        Am        
You
G             C       F      Am     G
You ooooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
     C       F       Am      G
Oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    C       F       Am
You oooh ooh 
     G
Yeah baby
C           F              Am
You are the one I think of all the night
    G                C                F
And all the night it feels so right I miss your arms
    Am                  G               C
The way you kiss me the way you pull me in so tight
   F                 Am                  G             C     G
It makes me sick but then we'd fight But I want you so bad tonight
C           F              Am
You are the one I think of all the night
    G                C
And all the night it feels so right

I miss your arms the way you kiss me the way you pull me in so tight

But I want you so bad tonight

C         F                C        G              C
I want to change my future one my desire change my room
           F         C            G              C
Passion is trivially spent obviously it hurts me to believe
    F           C           G              C
And in my fatal judgement I cut off my electricity 
    F              C                    G              C
And now I'm really stuffed I'll make an effort, take a left
          F                C                 G                 C
Clean the house to stop me crying and if you cry, you're taken out
               F                C               G              C
There won't be room for mystics here I'm afraid this is all or nothing
      F             C                  G           C
And I haven't got a hope at least I've got another friend
          F            C                G              C
Turns out I was just a joke I'm holding onto what I've got
          F               C                      G           C
I'm tryna get just what I want and I'll pick the pieces up tomorrow
        F                C             G
Cut the pill and take my chances and a half
        F                C             G
Cut the pill and take my chances and a half
     C G
Yeah baby


C           F              Am
You are the one I think of all the night

Kiss That Grrrl

(slowly)
           C                  Am
I'm heavy handed, to say the least
          G               
my mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher
                             F                 
'cause I spill things from stiring them too quickly.
             C
I'm far too loud, it's like
    Am
as soon as I've got an opinion 
                
it just has to come out.
             G
I laugh at stupid things
                  F
just 'cause they tickle me. 

   (double tempo, same chords the whole song)

And sometimes I wish,
sometimes I wish I was like Mariella
she got some Prit STick and she glued her lips together,
so she never had to speak, never had to speak,
never had to speak.
People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse
she just doesn't make a peep.

She marched to her wardrobe and she threw away the colour,
because wearing black looks mysterious
but it didn't impress her mother.
She wanted to dress her baby in patters and flowers 
but Mariella just crossed her arms
and so she cried for hours.

Mariella, Mariella,
my pretty baby girl,
unglue your lips from being together and
and wear some pink and pearls.
You can have your friends 'round and 
they can stay for tea.
Won't you just try to fit in, please,
do this for me. 

But Mariella just crossed her arms
and she walked up the stairs
and she went into her bedroom
and she sat on her bed.
And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself:
"If I wanna play I can play with me, 
if I wanna think I'll think in my head."

At school Mariella didn't have many friends,
yeah, the girls they all looked to her
and they thought she was quite strange.
And the boy they're not really into girls at that age
and the teachers they thought
Mariella was just going through a phase.

But Mariella just smiled
and she skipped down the road 
because she knew all the secrets in her world.
Yeah, she always got the crossword puzzle right everyday
and she could do the alphabet backwards
without making any mistakes.

Mariella, Mariella,
my pretty, pretty girl.
Mariella, Mariella,
happy in your own little world,
happy in your own little world.

And she said:

"Yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
yeah I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever 
gonna unglue my lips from being together."

She said:

"I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
yeah, I'm never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, 
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
gonna unglue my lips from being together."

Chorus: (chord changes are oddly timed here)

        F#m     E   D
That it wouldn't be long until you've
F#m      E           D       A
Got me standing in an awkward position with
F#            E           D       A
Unwanted attention and a need for explanation and it's
F#        E         D       A
Not that I'm letting go of you
F#        E         D       A

A            D
I don't understand you

Send me away
A              D
Tomorrow is important
A                     D
No matter what you say

So keep your secrets from me
And keep yourself away
Keep everything to yourself
Since when was I so keen to share, anyway?

A
I don't know
D
How I feel
A
Want to feel
D
Something real
A             D
Feel something real

A
Well, nothing is real

Well, everything's fake
D
So you're running away
A                D                
'Cause you're so cool

You're So Cool, I'm So Freaky

A song that takes you.  Poppy rhythms with a new complexity. Great intro song for an up-and-coming female vocalist in a highly competitive arena.  A new creativity speaking deeply about simplicity. This is the first notice the artist  has cast this far. 

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:

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.

when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]
