G
Underneath the lilac tree, I close my eyes and suddenly
C
I'm ten years old and running through, An open field chasing after you
G
Sounds of summer fill my ears, If I live 10,000 years
C
I'll never feel as good as this, Moments before our first kiss

Em
There is nothing to demand, No algebra to understand
Am                           D7
Just sunlight on a freckled face
Am                 C          D7
And everything in its right place

G
Simple things turn magical, Minutes freeze like Popsicles
C
And drip their seconds down our shirts, I love you so much it hurts
G
There's no such thing as real time, I've been yours and you've been mine
C
And we've lived ever happily, Everywhere I've been you've been with me

Em
There is nothing to control, No question mark left on our souls
Am                           D7
Just sunlight on a freckled face
Em
There is nothing to demand, No politics to understand
Am                            D7
Just sunlight on a freckled face
Am                        D7
Everything in its right place
Am             C          D7
Everything in its right place

G                                   D7
And I want to give you a brand new sky
               G                             D7
Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes
                   G                       D7
So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real
                G                    D7
I want to show you how you make me feel

G                                D7
I want to give you a brand new dream
                      G                  D7
Where two horses drink from a silver stream
                     G                    D7
As the trees catch fire they lift their heads
                                G                D7
And bolt together through the forest across our beds

G                                   D7
I want to bring you the fields of flowers
            G                 D7
I want to build you Eiffel Towers
                          G                     D7
Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars
                    G                       D7
And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars
Set you free, yeah

cause this water's brown, and i'm so embarrassed

to have you here but i want you around.
	    C  			     E
usually i'd sing, or play you my guitar,

Verse 2 [C - E - F - G]
things that i buy and things that i think,
haven't made this a better place to be.
drugs that i try and drinks that i drink,
haven't made this a better place to be.
it's still just a room with the drums in the middle,
a couch along the wall that works as my bed.
i still have a phone that rings all day.
i still have things i wish i would have said.

New York City

Verses: G Em C
We could sit beneath the evening
And let the day turn blue
I could never let the darkness
Replace the thought of you
C'mon darling let's catch that train
To wherever we call god
Maybe it's in massachusettes
Or maybe not
It's just you and i
It's just you and i, my dear
Just you and i
It's just you and i

Verse:
Let's keep our boots pointed west
Stay left of the police
I know you're like a freight train
To escape your family
You've got a father who has done you wrong
And a mother who doesn't care
Get your backbone up my darling
Let down your hair
It's just you and i
It's just you and i, my dear
Just you and i
It's just you and i


CHORUS:
       G                                    C
When all the world turns into hospitals and jails
G                                        C
I can always count on your love to be my bail
      G                                  C
And we'll go traveling on from year to year
G            D     Cm
Just you and i, my dear


Verse:
I've got my backpack full of fourteen cartons
Of cigarettes, cigarettes
I've got a bumper sticker on my chest that says
No regrets, no regrets
I've got your love draped all around me like
A big black cape, a big black cape
All the billboards on the highway say
Don't be late, don't be late
It's just you and i
It's just you and i


Chorus


Instrumental (twice through verse chords)


Verse:
Well i woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor
I was listening for your knocking
But you weren't outside my door
And i know that you won't be coming 'round
In the way i want you to
I wish you'd throw your arms around me
But it's not for me
It's not for me
It's not to be
It'll be just me


Chorus:
     G                             C
And i know i never told you how i felt
    G                                                     C
But you could never understand the blues that you have dealt me
     G                                 C
So i'll keep traveling on from year to year
G              D     Cm
It'll be just me, my dear
G              D     Cm
It'll be just me, my dear
G              D     Cm
Same thing year after year
G              D     Cm
It'll be just me, my dear

End on G

Verse:
G                              C   B7
Last night the willows stopped weeping
    C          D              G
And everything sat hushed and still
    G                 C    B7
And while my body lay sleeping
  C            D      G
I dreamt of Rebecca Deville
       G                  C     B7
Now I wonder if she was a real girl
C        D         G
Did she die when I woke?
C                 D                  B7
Well I'll sleep straight through to tomorrow
    C             D         G
And look for her till I go broke

Intro x1

Verse:
I found myself by the highway
That I ride in all my dreams
I met her while i was hitchhiking
From England to New Orleans
She rode shotgun but stayed facing me
And I laid down in the back
I fell in love somewhere near Illinois
And she said she loved me right back

Chorus:
G  D    G    D            G          D   C    
Anybody, has anybody seen my little girl around
G      D      G      D
I last saw her in New Orleans
G      D          C
I can't find her now

Verse:
G                          C        B7
I stepped into the nearest twilight bar
   C      D      G 
To ask if anyone knew
     G                 C       B7
The whereabouts of my Rebecca Deville
    C          D           G
The bartender said that he knew
G                       C   B7
He said that just a few weeks ago
    C           D      G
She hitched a ride out west
        G                             C   B7
With a man who said he'd show her the big time
   C          D            G
Said he would show her the best
G                             C            B7
But he stopped the car two miles down the road
        C     D          G
And he put a gun to her head
    C             D        B7
And raped her of all that she ever had
     C            D             G
When Rebecca was found she was dead

pause

Chorus x
B7   C              G
Low doesn't even begin
    B7           C              G
To describe the shape that I am in
  B7         C             G
But you can dream in both directions
    B7           C      G
And bring the past back again
    B7          C   G
So maybe i can find her
   B7   C            G
Before heaven goes and hides her
B7        C            G 
Hope and keep her from going
C (add some CMaj7's in there, too)
Away
Well i saw her again
It was a sunday evening
She had flagged a ride
It was a Lincoln Continental
She was on the passenger side
She had a hold of the handle
I said Rebecca don't go
He's not what he seems
I said Rebecca don't go
He's not what he seems
Take my word darling
And drop out of this dream
She said
He's going to
The big city
And I'm going too
You know how that is with me
I said stop
Don't you get in the car
Don't you get in the car
'cause I won't be coming back
If you get in the back
Don't you get in the car
Don't you get in the car
'cause I won't be coming back
If you get in the back
My sweetheart
My sweetheart
I will just stay awake
Six years or maybe eight
Till I lose your memory
And all that you've meant to me
'cause I can't stand to see this
I can't stand to see this
I can't stand to see this
Well she got inside
And waved goodbye
And I watched the tail lights
They danced like candle light
And then they went out
Goodbye
My sweetheart

Intro: D  DMaj7  G  GMaj7

Verse:
D                       DMaj7
I'm gonna say what I've wanted to say
              G               GMaj7
Since I first saw you on that rainy day
When you caught me looking and I made you laugh
Honey I know you, I always have

And if this world is just a random bed
Then there'd be no good reason why we would have met
But if there's something bigger if there's something planned
Honey I want you to understand

Pre-Chorus:
D                     Am
That every beat of my heart is proof
     G                       Em
I've spent my life trying to get back home

Chorus:
D   DMaj7     G  GMaj7
to you__ oh oh ho (repeat)

Verse:
I'm gonna do what I've wanted to do
I'm gonna trust my heart and give it back to you
Every time I speak I wanna say your name
Honey I know you feel the same

When we're talking and you look at me
I feel a distant memory coming back to me
Like my own reflection on a quiet lake
Honey I see you, there's no mistake

Pre-Chorus:
And every word that I say is true
I've spent my life trying to get back home

Chorus:
to you-- oh oh ho --- to you ---- oh oh ho-- to you----

(Instrumental)

(Intro Repeat)

I'm gonna be who I've wanted to be
I will become the man who you deserve from me
No more hiding out behind the mountains of fear
Honey we're breaking outta here

The open road and the sky above
Nothing can hold us back from the things we love
You need not save your strength, untie your safety rope
You will not need it, all you need is hope

Pre-Chorus:
And every dream that we have is true
I've spent my life trying to get back home

Chorus:
to you___ oh oh ho  to you___Oooh oh ho oh ho oh ho
to you___ oh oh ho  to you___

Jaja, okay okay
                  F
Ya sé qué pasa aquí
   A#                            C
Encuentras la grandeza frente a ti
             C
Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán
           C       F
Despierta ya, oye bien, 
           A#                   C
este como ves es Maui, de verdad
             C                F
Sé que como yo no encuentras dos
        A#          C
Lo que miras es un semi Dios

[Coro 1]
Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada
        E7               Am
Por el mar, el cielo, el sol
                F            C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada
     E7                    C
Soy sólo un ordinario semi yo

[Estrofa 2]
C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?
                        A#
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

Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada,

y así tus velas elevar

Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada,

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, 
    C
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!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada
         C
Y gracias

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

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat

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

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
