But for this moment I am fine

[Verse 1]
C              Em
Here we stand
                           Am
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
C              Em
Will we bend?
                          Am
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in? 
C                                   Em
Everybody else is smiling and their smiles don?t fade 
C                                           Em
And you don?t even wonder why you just don?t think that way 

[Chorus]
C                                       G
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move on we can't stay here 
Am                                      C
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain?t meant for this love 
C                                G
You and me tried everything, but still that mocking bird wont sing
Am                                          C
Well man this life seems hard enough, well maybe we ain?t meant for this love 

[Riff 1]
 Em - C - Em - C
 Em - C - Em - C

[Verse 2]
C             Em
Take my hand 
                                Am
And I will lead you through the broken promise land 
C                    Em
Yes I can, ah yes I can 
                               Am
I can be there when you need it, I'll give it all till you can't feel it anymore 

[Bridge]
Em                                        C
I don't wanna love you now, if you'll just leave someday 
Em                                       C
I don't wanna turn around, if you'll just walk away

Oh what the hell she says
A                           Cm  
I just can't win for losing
                     G
And she lays back down 
G
Man there's so many times
A                           Cm
I don't know what i'm doing 
                    G
Like I don't know now 



G
By the light of the moon 
                A
She rubs her eyes 

Says it's funny how the night 
                Cm
Can make you blind 
                 G
I can just imagine
G
And i don't know what i'm supposed to do 
           A                       Cm
But if she feels bad then i do too
                G
So i let her be 


[Chorus]
             G
And she says Ooh
                    D
I can't take no more
                                    Am
Her tears like diamonds on the floor 
                              C
And her diamonds bring me down
                     G
Cuz i can't help her now
                 D
She's down in it
                                             Am
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
                              C
Hard to see them on the ground
                          G
Her diamonds falling down

A Cm G

G                  A                       Cm
She sits down and stares into the distance 
                      G
And it takes all night 
G                   A                      Cm
And i know i could break her concentration
                 G
But it don't feel right



G
By the light of the moon 
                A
She rubs her eyes 
                                   Cm
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry 
                                   G
And there's something less about her
G
And i don't know what i'm supposed to do
    A                       Cm
So i sit down and i cry too
                    G
And don't let her see


[Chorus]
G
And she says Ooh
                    D
I can't take no more
                                    Am
Her tears like diamonds on the floor 
                              C
And her diamonds bring me down
                        G
Cuz i can't help her now
                 D
She's down in it
                                             Am
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
                              C
Hard to see them on the ground
                          G
Her diamonds falling down


Cm                    G
She shuts out the night 
Cm                    G
Tries to close her eyes
                    Em
If she can find daylight 
               Am
She'll be all right
               Cm
She'll be all right
            G
Just not tonight


[Chorus]
G
And she says Ooh
                    D
I can't take no more
                                    Am
Her tears like diamonds on the floor 
                              C
And her diamonds bring me down
                        G
Cuz i can't help her now
                 D
She's down in it
                                             Am
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
                              C
Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

Intro: E

Verse 1:

E                         B

Another night and here we are again
        A                B

All our faults laid out ahead
E                       B

Let it out, then let it right back in
          A              B

All those voices in your head

Bridge:

       A         B               E                 A

And we both know everything, but we can't learn to leave
        B                 E

So I'll tell you what you need

Chorus:

E

First thing: we make you feel better
B

Next stop: we pull it all together
F#m

I'll keep you warm like a sweater
A

Take my hand, hold on forever
E

Just fall apart if you need to
B                              F#m

I'm here and I won't leave you now
           A

Don't look down
A               E

Hold on forever

Verse 2:

E                          B

Lay down all your troubles end to end
           A               B

They could reach up to the stars
E                             B

So many roads, you don't know where you've been
        A                  B

But you still know who you are

Bridge:

         A       B             E                 A

And if I seem preoccupied, I'm wondering what to do
             B          E

So here's my recipe for you

Chorus:

E            

First thing: we make you feel better
B

Next stop: we pull it all together
F#m

I'll keep you warm like a sweater
A

Take my hand, hold on forever
E

Just fall apart if you need to
B                              F#m

I'm here and I won't leave you now
           A

Don't look down
A

Hold on forever

Verse 1:
E                        B
We were drawn from the weeds
                   A
We were brave like soldiers
        C#m              B          E
Falling down under the pale moonlight
                    B
You were holding to me
                    A
Like a someone broken
              C#m                  B         A
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now


Refrain:
             C#m                   B        A
Just let me hold you while you're falling apart

Hey, look at us

Another night and here we are again
        A               B

All our faults laid out ahead
E                       B

Let it out, then let it right back in
A                        B

All those voices in your head
A                B               E

B

Hold on forever
E                          B

Lay down all your troubles end to end
A

They could reach up to the stars
E                             B

So many roads, you don't know where you've been
A

But you still know who you are
A                B

And if I seem preoccupied, I'm 
E                 A

wondering what to do
             B

So here's my recipe for you
E

First thing, we make you feel better
B

Next stop, we pull it all together
F#m

I'll keep you warm like a sweater
A             B

Take my hand, hold on forever
E

Just fall apart if you need to

I'm here and I won't leave you now
A

Don't look down
B

Hold on forever
A                B               E

And we both know everything, but we
               A

can't learn to leave
        B

So I'll tell you what you need
E

First thing, we make you feel better
B

Next stop, we pull it all together
F#m

I'll keep you warm like a sweater
A

Take my hand, hold on forever
E

Just fall apart if you need to
B                              F#m

I'm here and I won't leave you now
A

Don't look down

Hold on forever
A                  B

Couldn't Stand The Weather

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

G Em C D 


       Em     C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em

Somewhere

Intro -- Dm

Dm                       F
This is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
I called the dogs off all the things I?m missing

       Bb
And to everyone but you before I set sail


       G          Eb         Bb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm                         F
This is the song where you speak up

Bb                             G
This is the song where you get moving

    Dm                            F
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

       Bb
And to me but no-one else before you threw it



         G          Eb         Bb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times 

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm F Bb G (4 times)


Dm                            F
I put ashore in front of our apartment

    Bb                                       G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

     Dm                                         F
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

          Bb
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


      Dm                       F
Cause this is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

        Bb
And the song is just I love you and always will


G          Eb         Bb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck

This Is The Song

E                              B                 A
I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
A           G#             F#m                     E
What use is money, when you need someone to hold
E                              B               A
Don't have direction I'm just rolling down this road
A           G#             F#m                     E
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
   F#m                               B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                            A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                            A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A       E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

E                               B              A
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
A       A/G#                F#m         E
I'm in love with you and you will never know
E                              B             A
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
A              G#              F#m            E
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
    F#m                              B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                             A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                           A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave Your Lover

VERSE

Em    
I feel like I've been locked up tight

For a century of lonely nights

Waiting for someone

Em
You just wing it and would like some love 
D
One more days and then we're good to go 
C
Waiting for someone 
D
Who needs me

Almost breaks 'em at the speed of light 
D
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight 
C
Baby, Baby, Baby 
D
(baby, baby, baby)

Genie In A Bottle

F#m              A            E
Waited for your call, for the moon
   F#m                  A           E
To release me from the longest afternoon
     F#m               A            E  
I've re-arranged parts of my living room
     Bm                              D                                   
But time is hard to kill since I met you



    F#m            A                  E 
I'm looking at the cars that drive on by
      F#m              A           E 
While spring is making promise outside
F#m                A         E     
Red cars are quite rare I realise
       Bm                      D
Then I wonder which colour you like



A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart




F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be
          A           E                          F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
          A             E                                        Bm
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
              D                  F#m                  
These numbers could be lucky for you


(Break)


F#m                  A             E
Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
  F#m                   A         E
I can't think of another thing to do
    F#m             A                 E 
And every song just makes me think of you
            Bm           
Because the singers sounds as if she was longing,
       D
As if she was longing, too


A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart
A
Seven little numbers
      E
Baby they could make a change
F#m
Seven little numbers
                  D
Make a fire out of this flame



F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be
          A           E                          F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat

              D                  F#m

The Boys Are Back

Intro: E, F#m, E, F#m, E

Verse:

   E                                F#m
Vindran els anys i, amb els anys, la calma
                                   E
que et pintarà als ulls una mirada suau.
                                  F#m
Et faran fer un pas i, després, un altre,
                                   E
seràs tota una experta a tirar endavant.
                                            F#m
Amb tant de temps hauràs trobat un lloc agradable,
                                     E
o ja estaràs un pèl mandrosa per buscar.
                                       F#m
Rebràs tracte de senyora, o de iaia estranya
                                       E
que té acollonits tots els nens del veïnat.


Bridge:

    Dbm            B                E
I seràs un sac de mals o seràs una roca.
        Dbm               B              A                B
I els moments de mirar enrere et faran gràcia i et faran mal.


Pre-Chorus:

      A                   E
I potser no seré el teu amic,
       A                      E       Ebm     Dbm
ni tindré res a veure amb si ets o no ets feliç.
       E                  Abm              A           F#m
Ja em veig de record mig trist que se't creua pel cap
           B
una mala tarda.
     A                 E
I potser dormiré abraçadet
       A                     E       Ebm      Dbm
a una dona a qui quasi no hauré explicat qui ets.
     E                    Abm            A     
Potser tindrem néts malparits que se'n fotin de mi
           F#m            B            E      
quan no m'enteri de les coses.


Chorus:

E                A         B                 E
Però, quan seré vell, seguiré cantant-te cançons, igual.
          A            B                    E
Caminaré lent i m'asseuré, a vegades, als bancs.
           Dbm          A                      E
Verset a verset, convocaré el teu cos llarg i blanc
            F#m                B                  E
i em podran veure somriure una mica per sota del nas.


Bridge 2:

      A              B               E
Que vinguin els anys! Aquí em té la calma!
        A                           B
Que em jugo amb la decadència de la carn
           A            B              E
que un raconet del menjador farà d'escenari
          A        B                  E
i que ningú sospitarà de qui estic parlant.


Chorus 2:
             
                  A         B                E   
I que, quan seré vell, seguiré cantant-te cançons, igual.
             A            B                    E
No sé si estaré per garantir-te una gran qualitat
                     Dbm             A                 E
però creuré en un verset i em distrauré intentant-lo allargar
             F#m                 B                E
i em podran veure somriure una mica per sota del nas,
              F#m               B                 E
i em podran veure somriure una mica per sota del nas.


Outro:

E, F#m, E ...
