Intro: C D G x2


C  D                    G

Of all the things I've believed in
C       D               G

I just want to get it over with
C             D

Tears form behind my eyes
G     Em

But I do not cry
A7            C

Counting the days that pass me by


C           D                 G

I've been searching deep down in my soul
C               D             G

Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
C                  D            G       Em

It feels like I'm starting all over again
    A7                          C

The last three years were just pretend
C

And I said,


G     D    Em

Goodbye to you
C            D                    Em

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
G            D     Em

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

C D G

C         D        G

I used to get lost in your eyes
C                 D              G

And it seems that I can't live a day without you
C          D              G

Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
    A7                C

To a place where I am blinded by the light
C

But it's not right


G     D    Em

Goodbye to you
C            D                    Em

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
G            D     Em

You were the one I loved
A7                    C

The one thing that I tried to hold on to


         C             D             G

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
              C          D             G

I want what's yours and I want what's mine
(stop)

I want you

But I'm not giving in this time


G     D    Em

Goodbye to you
C            D                    Em

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
G            D     Em

You were the one I loved
A7                    C

The one thing that I tried to hold on to


G     D    Em

Goodbye to you
C            D                    Em

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
G            D     Em

You were the one I loved
A7                    C

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

C D G

     Woah-oh-ohh

C D G


C               D

And when the stars fall
      G

I will lie awake

You're my shooting star

There's Something 'bout the way you looked at me

Desperately

Em C G D

I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away

I didn't know that it was so cold
And you needed someone
to show you the way
So I took your hand and we figured out
That when the time comes
I'd take you away

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone

If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

All you wanted was somebody who cares
If you need me you know I'll be there
Oh, yeah

[x2]
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
was somebody who cares

Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go when you're gone

All You Wanted

Chords same for verses and chorus 
Dm F Bb Gm

[Verse 1]
Dearest lover, read this letter
I can't pretend, I'm still in love
If my lips could say it better
I'd still be there, when you wake up

We used to be for real
But now you make me feel
Like I'll never be enough
You turned me on, then turned me off, oh

[Chorus]
I want you to remember me
Every time you scream as the best you ever
I want you to remember me
In a lucid dream, as the best you ever

[Verse 2]
I hope you can find someone
Who will satisfy you like I did
Do all the stupid little things that
Never are as obvious

And all the things you miss
I seal 'em with a kiss
But I can't sign sincerely yours
I never was, I've never been

Best You Ever

[Verse 1]
I feel safe when we are standing in the wreckage
Are we hopeless pulled in opposite directions
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer
You start to pull me under when I try to keep my head above the water

[Verse 1]
I feel safe when we are standing in the wreckage
Are we hopeless pulled in opposite directions
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer
You start to pull me under when I try to keep my head above the water

[Chorus]
Tremble and shake
We can't rewrite all our mistakes
Lovers on a fault line
The things we say
When we're both right
Will ricochet, lovers on a fault line
And we both know
You and I will never change
But we're holding on until we feel it break
It's too late to be the first to walk away
When we're lovers on a fault line

[Verse 2]
You kissed me too hard
I thought you had the best intentions
You took it too far
Always desperate for attention
Just when I was thinking that I couldn't be lonely any longer
You start to pull me under when I try to keep my head above the water

Sleepless nights cuz the city lights
Makes the moon so hard to see
Take a ride to the other side
Give me room where I could breathe
Shout it out to the breaking dawn
Feel the earth under your feet
Open door what you waiting for
Let the rain come down on me

I-I-I wanna getaway gotta getaway
Going by the loop beneath these skies
Cuz I need a change yeah I need a change
I-I-I wanna getaway gotta getaway
Going by the loop beneath these skies
Cuz I need a change yeah I need a change

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

I I I wanna get away gotta get away

Getaway

Intro: Fmaj7 - G - Fmaj7 - G

           Fmaj7    G
Can't you see?
        Fmaj7			   G
There's a feeling that's come over me
	   Fmaj7    G
Close my eyes
           Fmaj7   		    G
You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless

Am          G       C   CC Bm
No need to wonder why
Am	     G		C        F     G
Sometimes a gift like this you can't deny

	CHORUS:

	        C - G - Am - F	     C
	'Cause I           wanted to fly,
	   G		     Am    F
	so you gave me your wings
	      C - G - Am - F	     C         G      Bb       F F (stop)
	And time          held its breath so I could see, yeah
	And you set me free


(Fmaj7 - G) same as first verse
There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just no hiding, fighting
You make me restless

Am      G     C   CC Bm
You're in my heart
Am	 G            C          F      G
The only light that shines there in the dark

	CHORUS

Dm         Am
When I was alone
C   G
You came around
C    G
When I was down
Dm            Am
You pulled me through
            F    
And there's nothing that
    	   G           C       
I wouldn't do for you

(SOLO) C - G - Am - F- C - G - Am - F

You Set Me Free

Michelle wrote this song specifically for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 movie, after seeing a cut of the film.

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:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

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.

A  E  D A

A                                        E
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

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

repeats.
