E
Where theres a cloud don't mean there's rain

Tears in my eyes don't mean theres pain
     A                           E  
Don't flatter yourself I'm over you
E
Things aren't always what they seem

You can't believe everything you read
A                       E              
On my face,   I'm over you


Chorus

B
You heard I'm drinkin more tham I should
      A
and I ain't been lookin all that good
B
Someone told you I was takin it rough
A
But why're they makin those stories up?
               E
When I'm over you 

E
There were times if you'd been around

You would've seen me broken down
A                            E
But now you won't,   I'm over you

E
So if I seem a little bit cold

It only means you've lost that hold
A                          E
You had on me,  I'm over you


Chorus

E
I'm over you
           E
I'm over you

I'm Over You

G                           C
I'm no stranger to the rain I'm a friend of thunder
                                   G
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
       D                       F
I've fought with the devil Got down on his level
      C                               D
but I never gave in, so he gave up on me

2nd verse:
G                           C
I'm no stranger to the rain  I can spot bad weather
                                     G
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
          D                        F
I've been sacrificed by brothers  Crucified by lovers
    C                              D                             G
But through it all I withstood the pain, I'm no stranger to the rain

Bridge:
C                                     G
But when I get that foggy feeling The one I'm feeling now
   C                              G               Fm
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown. But it's hard to keep believing  
     Bm                          C                           A
I'll even come out even While the rain beats your hole in the ground.
        F                      D
And tonight it's really coming down

3rd verse:
G                                        C
I'm no stranger to the rain But there'll always be tomorrow
                                        G
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine.
D                                    F
I'll put this cloud behind me That's how the man designed me
C                     D
Ride the wind and hurricane. 
                       Em      A   C      D               G
I'm no stranger to the rain Oh no, I'm no stranger to the rain

Don't Close Your Eyes

1st verse:
G
If I were alone in the desert
    C                     G
Without a drink of water around
   C                          G
On my knees and hands in that white, scorching sand
                                D
With the hot Sahara sun beating down
   G
If I could be granted my wishes
   C                          G
If anything I want could come true
C                          G
I know that it might sound funny
    D                           G
But here's what I'd want you to do


Chorus:
              C
Tell Lorrie I love her
              G
Tell Lorrie I need her
         D
Tell her everything would be okay
                G
If I could just see her
              C
Tell Lorrie I love her
              G
Tell Lorrie I need her
     Am
If I leave this old world
         D                       G  
Tell her she's the only girl for me


2nd verse:
G
If I were adrift on the ocean
C                               G
A vessel with no sails or steam
C                               G
Floating aimlessly on and endless sea
                                D
Hopelessly lost it would seem
  G
If all of the fish in the water
  C                     G
Could echo my last dying plea
C                               G
I know you might not understand it
   D                            G
But here's what I'd want it to be

(chorus)

If I leave this old world
Tell her she's the only girl for me

D      A          G             A           D    A G A
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
D        A         G           A            D   A G A
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
G                     A
Try as I may I could never explain
D       A               G          A
What I hear when you don't say a thing

Chorus:
      D               A          G             A

            D             A          G             A
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
D    G                 A                     (Intro)
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

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.

Overreacting

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.
