I never walked near the edge

         A             D
I never swam far from shore
      E                D
Never tried the secret door


(Pre-chorus)
    Bm    F#m D    E     D
But when you give me love
 Bm   F#m D  E     D
When you give me love


(Chorus)
  E               A     Bm   D
I have no fear of heights,
   E           A    Bm   D
No fear of the deep blue sea,
  E               A        Bm   D
Although it could drown me,
  E             A        Bm     D     E
I know it could drown me


(Verse)
         A             D
I didn't wander in the woods
        E            D
Used to fear the darkness
         A            D
I didn't like getting deep
       E                        D
I was scared of what I couldn't keep


(Pre-chorus)
    Bm    F#m D    E     D
But when you give me love
 Bm   F#m D  E     D
When you give me love


(Chorus)  
  E               A     Bm   D
I have no fear of heights,
   E           A    Bm   D
No fear of the deep blue sea,
  E               A        Bm   D
Although it could drown me,
  E             A        Bm     D     E
I know it could drown me


(Outro)
   E           A    Bm   D
No fear of the fall
   E                 A        Bm D
No fear if it's with you that I  fall
       E             A       Bm  D
?cause nothing could break us
    E             A       Bm D
No, nothing could break us,  now

Am                        E
If a black man is racist, is it okay? 
Am                             E
If it's the white man's racism that made him that way, 
            F                  C
Because the bully's the victim they say, 
        Dm                    G
By some sense they're all the same. 


            Am            E 
Because the line between, wrong and right, 
        F                         C        D
Is the width of a thread, from a spider's web. 
    Am             E
The piano keys are black and white, 
         F                                    C  D
But they sound like a million colours in your mind


Am               E
I could tell you to go to war, 
   Am                          E
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more, 
       F            C
How do I know which is right, 
      Dm                                 G
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight. 


            Am            E 
Because the line between, wrong and right, 
       F                         C        D

The piano keys are black and white,

But they sound like a million colours in your mind


Am                 E
Should we act on a blame? 
F                               E
Or should we chase the moments away? 
          Am              E
Should we give? Should we live? 
  F                  C                        D 
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time.

D           G             A
You are the tiger burning bright
Bm          A6           G
Deep in the forest of my night
Em              F#m          A              D
You are the one who keeps me strong in this world

D                G              A
You sleep by the silent cooling streams
Bm          A6             G
Down in the darkness of my dreams
A         D            G
All of my life I never knew
             D                  G - G6
You were the dream I'd see come true
D           A             D
You are the tiger burning bright

G         D                 G                D
I was the one who looked so hard I could not see
G           D          G                    A       D
Now I could never live without the love you give to me

D              G               A
I lived like a wild and lonely soul
Bm        A6           G
Lost in a dream beyond control
Em           F#m               A            D
You were the one who brought me home down to earth

D               G             A
For you are the tiger burning bright
Bm          A6           G
Deep in the forest of my night
A         D            G
All of my life I never knew
             D                  G - G6
You were the dream I'd see come true
D           A             G-G6-D
You are the tiger burning bright

Am         F           C

Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?

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,

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!

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

Who lives down the lane.

School Friends

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

Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       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

It Ain't Me

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
