Another Phase

Maria Viktoria Mena (b. 1986) is a Norwegian pop-rock singer-songwriter.    Born on 19th February 1986, when Mena was thirteen years old she moved to live with her musician father. She sang and wrote lyrics as a form of therapy for her feelings and frustrations. Not all the stories in her diary became songs, but &quot;My Lullaby&quot; was one of them, expressing her pain from her parents' divorce. After pleading with her father to make a demo, he contacted some industry experts to record Maria's songs in the studio.

Am                                     Em   Dsus2
Comfortable as I am
                Am                     Em   Dsus2
I need your reassurance
                   Am                  Em   Dsus2
And comfortable as you are
              Am                       Em   Dsus2
You count the days
 

                 Am                  D
But if I wanted silence, I would whisper
                 Am                       D
And if I wanted loneliness, I'd choose to go
                 Am              D
And if I'd like rejection, I'd audition
                 Am                   D
And if I didn't love you, you would know


   Am G               Em           Fmaj7
And why can't you just hold me
   Am   G            Fmaj7         Dm 
And how come it is so hard
   Am  G                  Em        Fmaj7
And do you like to see me broken
   Am G           D7 
And why do I still care

still care


Am       Em   Dsus2
Am       Em   Dsus2


Am                                         Em   Dsus2
You say you see the light now
                  Am                       Em   Dsus2
At the end of this narrow hall
                  Am                       Em   Dsus2
I wish it didn't matter
                  Am                       Em   Dsus2
I wish I didn't give you all

 
               Am                  D
But if I wanted silence, I would whisper
                 Am                       D
And if I wanted loneliness, I'd choose to go

And how come it is so hard
   Am  G                  Em        Fmaj7
And do you like to see me broken
   Am G           D7 
And why do I still care


C                           G
Poor little misunderstood baby
                  Am        Fmaj7
No one likes a sad face
    C                            Em
But I can't remember life without him
                        Am        Dm
I think I did have good days
                  Fmaj7        G        
I think I did have good days                    
    G
And why...


 Am G               Em           Fmaj7
And why can't you just hold me
   Am   G            Fmaj7         Dm 
And how come it is so hard
   Am  G                  Em        Fmaj7
And do you like to see me broken
   Am G           D7 
And why do I still care

I'll always treasure the naivety of the past we've shared
    Csus4   Dm                        F
Our bodies grew much faster than our minds

But together we got good at stopping time

My teen angst drove me to hurt myself and I made you watch

We were never meant to be lovers,    just fellow late bloomers

Who blossomed apart,    who blossomed apart

With all the characteristics of my mom, familiarity of home 

C  Csus4      C  Csus4          Em                  F           C    
The geographic gap let to forced adulthood and your rage exposed

I'm glad we left things when we did,

self destructiveness,     self destructiveness

C  Csus4      C  Csus4                         Em              
The spotlight burned in the room when we were together

and we played our parts

And I wore an imaginary TV screen, so you never got to touch my heart 


F            F2/A        Am   F2/A            C          F

I thought I'd seen it all when you first walked in, but you shut me up 
   Csus4       Dm                           F         
And challenged every wrong perception I've had of myself

And you haven't ever stopped

Dear

G           D                C

I've been walking around all day thinking
G                D                  C

I think I have a problem, I think I think too much
G         D                      C

I've been taught to hold back my tears and avoid them
             Am                          D

but you've made pain into something I could touch




G         D                  C

I've been walking around all day laughing
G             D              C

Think I'd be better off without you here
G              D            C

And I bet you're sweet and hard to get over
       Am                        D

So I'll cry and people will stop and stare
           Am                 D

Now that's ok, let them stop and stare




           G    D   C

Cause I am fragile
      G    D   C

I am hopeless
        G    D   C

I'm not perfect
         G  D   C

But I am free




G         D                  C

I've been walking around all day waiting
G           D         C

And waiting is all I seem to do
G             D                 C

Cause I never get it unless I'm fed it
         Am                   D

But this time I'll just have to
            Am                 D

Yeah, this time I'll just have to




           G    D   C

And I'm fragile
      G    D   C

I am hopeless
        G    D   C

I'm not perfect
         G  D   C

I am a creature of habit

Em         D            Cmaj7  B7
I will admit there's a pattern
Em          D        Cmaj7  B7
One I've created myself

# VERSE II #
Em            D          Cmaj7    B7
None of my lovers dared leave me
    Em        D            Cmaj7  B7
And I grew impatient and stale
Em           D              Cmaj7    B7
Didn't look back once I'd left them
         Em          D      Cmaj7  B7
'Cause I always expected to fail

                  Am6/F#                   B7
But I need some distance to step out of line

So, grant me this wish and meet me back here in a year
   Em           D             Cmaj7      B7
If we still exist, I can let go of my fear
              Am               Am7/G
Fear of normalcy, fear of the solid

I must be crazy to want this
       Em           D             Cmaj7  B7
'Cause you are the girl of my dreams
    Em             D         Cmaj7    B7
But I'm prone to ruin the good things
Em                D          Cmaj7  B7
Cautious 'round balance it seems

Dm                             F
I've never been confronted with my own thoughts

They don't bother me when I'm alone

He's Hurting Me

D                   G
Careful what you say
                 A
This time of year
              G                 
Tends to weaken me
    D             G
And have a little decency
    A             G               
And let me cry in peace
     D                    G
But theres a place where I
          A               G                          
Erase the challenges Ive been through
      D            G                         
Where I know every corner
      A                    
Every street-name
       G                 
all by heart

    G           D 
And so it is a part of my
    G              A      A                 
courageous plan to leave
 G               D                 
With a broken heart
        G           A      A                          
Tucked away under my sleeve

I wanna go home for Christmas

Ill pack my bags
    G                A           G
and leave before the sun rises tomorrow
      D                G                  A
Cause we act more like strangers for each day
          G
That I am here
    D             G 
But I have people close to me
    A            G
Who never will desert me
D             G
Who remind me frequently
     A               G
What I was like as a child


    G           D 
And so it is a part of my

courageous plan to leave

Let me go home this year

  D                  G   
I dont know what my future holds
    A                 G
or who Ill choose to love me
    D              G
But I can tell you where Im from

And who loved me to life

Home For Christmas

[Verse]
Gm
What is in this wine?
           Gm
The more I drink the more I wander off
 Gm/Eb
Into a stranger’s eyes
          Gm/Eb
I like the way that they reflect my thoughts

Gm
What is in this air?
              Gm
It feels like feathery dust everywhere
   Gm/Eb
And as I breathe it in
              Gm/Eb
I breathe the masculine scent of his skin

[Chorus] (x2)
    Cm       Eb
And I -------I
           Bb     F
I feel homeless

[Verse]
     Gm
Your comfortable caress
              Gm
Has triggered unfamiliar restlessness
Gm/Eb 
You and I are we
            Gm/Eb 
I feel I’ve lost my individuality

       Gm
You’re watching me rebel
          Gm
Believing stories only hearts can tell
    Gm/Eb 
But when is it enough?
          Gm/Eb 
When do I call my feelings on their bluff

[Chorus] (x2)
   Cm        Eb
And I -------I
            Bb   F
I feel homeless 

[Bridge]
        Eb        F
And I remember us now
        Gm             Bb/D
But I forgot what we felt like
       Eb         F
And I remember us now
        Gm             Bb
But I forgot what we felt like
        Eb        F
And I remember us now
        Gm             Bb/D
But I forgot what we felt like
Eb                  F
Somewhere along the way

[Chorus] (x2)
   Cm        Eb
And I -------I
            Bb   F
I feel homeless 

[Bridge]
        Eb        F
And I remember us now
        Gm             Bb/D
But I forgot what we felt like
       Eb         F
And I remember us now
        Gm             Bb
But I forgot what we felt like
        Eb        F
And I remember us now
        Gm             Bb/D
But I forgot what we felt like
Eb                  F
Somewhere along the way

[Verse]
       Gm
You’re watching me rebel
          Gm

          Gm/Eb 
When do I call my feelings on their bluff

Monday morning came too soon
                                D
It's entering my forgotten room
          A              Em
Diguised as the morning sun
                         
and I should be on the run
         G   A
But I'm here
             G   A
Waiting for you
             G         A
To come and rescue me
          G         
From this awful blue


                    D
Looks like another day
            A
In another way
                  Em
Through another place
                 G
Too many lonely days
                  D
I'm not here for sure
               A
Just here for more
                            Em
You wont walk through that door
      G                            D    A Em

Covering up my weary eyes
          A             Em   
Only helpless, not yet torn, too many tears I've worn
         G   A
But I'm here
             G  A
Waiting for you
             G        A
To come and rescue me

From this awful blue

You wont walk through that door
      G                            A
Cause I said I didn't need you anymore
                                      Bm
But I said a lot of stupid stuff for sure
                      E
There's nothing I want more
     G
This morning

Monday Morning

Verse 1:
C#m
What is this game we're playing?
Should I stick around for more?
Snap your fingers I'll come running
                        C#m  D
leave again when you're bored
     A
with me
I'll make it easy


Chorus 1:
E
  Nevermind me
nevermind me
A
  I'll just cast 
shadows on your wall
C#m
  Nevermind me
nevermind me
B
  my God I feel so small!
E
  Nevermind me
nevermind me
A
  I'll just cast 
shadows on your wall
C#m
  Nevermind me
nevermind me
B
  I'll let myself out


Interlude: E--C#m-B x2


Verse 2:
       E
This facade that 
     C#m
I'm stuck with
           E        C#m
has got me wondering
     F#m             A
Just tell me how you want me
                      C#m  D
and I'll be naked stumbling
                A
just to get a reaction
any signs of love

Nevermind Me

F
I looked away,
           C
The other day,
Bb          Cm   F
Growing up slowly.
                F
Have you ever heard me
          C
Laugh so easily,
               Bb    Cm     F
It's cos I'm growing up slowly.

F C Bb Cm F (x2)
Oh, Viktoria [x4]

              F     
Me and my confidence,
                      C    
We're now more than friends,
  Bb             Cm   F 
We're growing up slowly.
  
             F  
She lives in me,
                   C
She whispers when I sleep,
          Bb               Cm   F 
She says "you're growing up slowly"

F C Bb Cm F (x2)
Oh, Viktoria [x4]

(One strum per chord)
Bb     Cm             Dm 
I have let go of my daemons,
Bb     Cm             Dm 
They left me when I sang the truth,
Bb   Cm               Dm  
No bulges I'm finally even,
     Bb              C
I can break all my rules.

            F  
When I was ten,
                      C   
My mother changed my name,
                 Bb      Cm       F 
She said "you're gonna grow into it"

                    F   
It took quite some time,
                         C   
But today it feels like mine.
   Bb   Cm         F  
I guess I grew slowly.

F C Bb Cm F (x4)
Oh, Viktoria [x8]

(One strum per chord)
Bb     Cm             Dm 
I have let go of my daemons,
Bb     Cm             Dm 
They left me when I sang the truth,
Bb   Cm               Dm  
No bulges I'm finally even,
     Bb              C - hold
I can break all my rules.

And then they are bored of me

running through the night but
              Dm                Am

I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

Ask her to dance, go on, son

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Hold On You

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
