All Good Things Come To An End

G                         Bm                        D
I looked at your face I saw that all the love had died                      
           C         Am                  G   
I saw that we had forgotten to take the time
G                     Bm                           D
I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do
              C                   Am 
You couldn't care less about the lies
              G                D
You couldn't find the time to cry

Am   D           C
We forgot about love
Am   C            D
We forgot about faith
Am   D            C
We forgot about trust
Am   C          D
We forgot about us

          G             D       Am   C             
Now our love's floating out the window
          G            D      Am   C             
Our love's floating out the back door
               G    D          Am        Bm
Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven
            Am    D       G  D C
Where it began, back in God's hands

G                                Bm         D
You, said that you said all that you had to say
          C              G          D
You said baby, it's the end of the day
Am             C           G      D
And we gave a lot but it wasn't enough
Am          C             G         D
We got so tired, that we just gave up


Now our love's floating out the window
          G            D      Am   C             
Our love's floating out the back door
               G    D          Am        Bm
Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven
            Am    D       G  D C
Where it began, back in God's hands



D    C            G
We didn't respect it 
D               C
We went and neglected it
Bm                 C
We didn't deserve it 
C                    D
But I never expected this

          G           D        Am   C     
Now our love floated out the window
             G            D      Am   C             
Our love floated out the back door
            G       D        Am      Bm
Our love floated up in the sky in heaven
D              Am
It's part of a plan
              G   D    C 
It's back in God's hands
             G  D  C
Back in God's hands

G    D       C 
Oh it didn't last
G     D             C
It's a thing of the past
G    D            C
No we didn't understand
G    D         C
Oh just what we had
G             D   C
Oh I want it back
G          D   C
Just what we had  (Repeat this last verse into fade or simply stop here)

In Gods Hands

Em, D, C
Em, D, C
All I know
Em, D, C
Is everything is not as it's sold
Em, D, C
But the more I grow
Em, D, C
The less I know
Em, D, C
And I have lived so many lives
Em, D, C
Though I'm not old
Em, D, C
And the more I see, the less I grow
Em, D, C
The fewer the seeds, the more I sow
Em, D, C

Then I see you standing there, wanting more from me
Em, C, G, D, Em
And all I can do is try
C, G, D
Then I see you standing there, wanting more from me
Em, C, G, D, Em
And all I can do is try
C, G, D, Em
Try
Em, C, G, D
Em, C, G, D

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
Em, D, C
And all the real people are really not real at all
Em, D, C
The more I learn, the more I learn
Em, D, C
The more I cry, the more I cry
Em, D, C
As I say goodbye to the way of life
Em, D, C
I thought I had designed for me
Em, D, C

Then I see you standing there, wanting more from me
Em, C, G, D, Em
And all I can do is try
C, G, D
Then I see you standing there, I'm all I'll ever be
Em, C, G, D, Em
And all I can do is try
C, G, D, Em, D, C
Try
Em, D, C
Oh, try
Em, D, C
Try
Em, D, C
Try
Em, D, C
Em, D, C
Em, D, C

All of the moments that already passed
Em, C, G, D
We'll try to go back and make them last
Em, C, G, D
All of the things we want each other to be
Em, C, G, D
We never will be
Em, C
We never will be that wonderful
G, D, Em, C, G, D
And that's life
Em, C, G, D
That's you, baby
Em, C
This is me, baby
G, D
We are, we are
Em, C, G, D
We are, we are
Em, C, G, D
We are, we are
Em, C, G, D
Free in our love
Em, C, G, D, Em, C, G, D
We are free in our love
Em, C, G, D, Em, C, G, D
Em, C, G, D
Try
Em

though my love is true-u-u-ue

RPT CHORUS:

      C 
it's not that i wanna say goodbye
      Em                        
it's just that every time you try 
     C               D
to tell me that you lo-o-ve me
 C                       Em
each and every single day i know
                                C          D
i'm going to have to eventually give you away-yeh-yeah

and though my love is rare
and though my love is true
hey i'm just scared
that we may fall through

La Salsa Du Demon

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

Out Of The Darkness

G A7sus4 G Cadd9 x2

G            A7sus4
I don't mind stealing bread
G                  Cadd9
From the mouths of decadence

G A7sus4 G Cadd9

The fire is cooking

And they're farming babies

While slaves are working

Blood is on the table
        G          Cadd9
And the mouths are choking
    G           A7sus4  G   Cadd9
But I'm growing hungry

I don't mind stealing bread

Hunger Strike

(chacarera simple)
INTRODUCCIÓN: A - E - E - A - D - A - E - A

A A
El verde de tus ojos
E A
va pintando el paisaje
D A
de sueños, de ilusiones
E A
y de este amor salvaje.

INTERMEDIO: Como la Introducción

Recuerdo aquella noche,
a la orillita del río,
te dije convencido
que tu amor sería mío.

INTERMEDIO:
Testigo será el río
de tus besos ardientes.
ya no puedo explicar
lo que mi corazón siente.

ESTRIBILLO
D A
Tristezas y alegrías
E A
da el amor, si lo sientes;
D A
prefiero las dos cosas
E A
mientras se haga presente.

INTERMEDIO:
LA lunita celosa
desde el cielo miraba;
yo quería besarte
y ella más alumbraba.

INTERMEDIO:
El hombre enamorado
es ternura y coraje;
el corazón ardiente,
llenito de paisaje.

INTERMEDIO:
Placeres da a la vida,
momentos importantes.
estoy triste y alegre;
déjenme que les cante.

ESTRIBILLO

The Muffin Man

Intro - C--G--F (x2)

C                     G
Driving home in the pouring rain
C                          G
I'm getting tired of the song that's playing
F      C         G
All i want is a reason
G
You gotta give me something
C                           G
You know it's really hard to concentrate
C                         G
I'm getting tired of the words you're saying
F         C          G
Don't tell me you're waiting
G
I would be all you wanted

C       G         C
Give me something else

C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G
Cause I'll take your hand and I'll keep you betting on me
F                            C
All the things that I'd do to you-oo
G                    C
Everything this is turning into
C                                G
And if you close your eyes then I'll show you something
C                              G
We could spend some time and I'll keep you running to me
F                              C
All the time i would spend with you-oo
G                     C
Everything I could learn about you
C         G
I'll be something
F               C
I'll be all you wanted

C                   G
Here we are in the pouring rain
C                     G
It's pretty clear you're a chance worth taking
F       C          G
I can tell that you're waiting
G
For me to give you something
C                    G
Now there's nothing left to complicate
C                       G
Little words that are not worth saying
F        C        G
You have got to believe me
G
I would be all you wanted

C        G        C
Give me something else


C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G
Cause I'll take your hand and I'll keep you betting on me
F                            C

I'll be all you wanted

C          G              C             G
Take it or leave it it's not what you think
F              C                 G         C
This could be something that no one could fake
C            G        C         G
If you just try to change your mind
C              G            C         G
But sooner or later you're likely to break
F               C            G       C
And I won't be waiting to fix you mistakes

C        G         C
Give me something else

C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G
Cause I'll take your hand and I'll keep you betting on me
F                            C
All the things that I'd do to you-oo 
Am
Anything this is...

C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G
