Intro: A E F#m D


A
Give me your heart to hold the God-like truth,
            E
Give me one good soul I can tell it through
F#m
Give me good reason to believe in you
            D
And give me strength if you have time

A
Give me two hands that'll hold this up
              E
And don't you give me no more than just enough
            F#m
You gave a pair of brown eyes that can call a good bluff
     D
And somebody who thinks they shine

    E  F#m       D    E
But you, I just want you
 F#m        D    A
I just want you

  A
I spend most of my life on a microphone
       E
Giving all that I?ve got until I head back home
             F#m
And when the lights go out, and I?m all alone,
    D
Got no reason to be crying

         A
But on a bad day I feel like a masochist
        E
Take it away from me, if it's for the best
 F#m
Somehow I ended up the head of this
   D
Freight train that isn't mine
 
    E    F#m        D
But you, I just want you
E      F#m       D
You, I just want you

          A
So take it all away
           E
If it isn't meant for me
             F#m
I don't want the easy way
  D
I just want you
             A
They can give me everything
          E
But at the end of the day
         F#m
The only words I?ll say
      D
Is 'I just want you'

A E F#m

D
I just want you


   A
It?s all so simple when I break it all down
   E
Two roads converged on a hallow ground
          F#m
It?s taken all my life to hear the sacred sound
   D
Of sweet simplicity
       A
Saying 'give it all back, you don't mean a thing'
          E
You got a short-lived life and a song to sing
      F#m
And the only way up is believing
    D
In never looking down

          A
So take it all away
           E
If it isn't meant for me
             F#m
I don't want the easy way
  D
I just want you
             A
They can give me everything
          E
But at the end of the day
         F#m
The only words I?ll say
      D
Is 'I just want you'


A  E  F#m
Oh,

D
I just want you

A  E  F#m D
Oh

I Just Want You

(Verse 1)
      
 D                A
Car is parked, bags are packed,
                 Em                      Bm
but what kind of heart doesn't look back
       G                        A                Bm
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
          D             A            Em                  Bm
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
           G                        A            Bm
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns



(Chorus)

      G          A              D                   G
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
         G          A               D               G
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
       G                       A                           D
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

A                      Em       Bm
   I'll breathe again

D A Em Bm



(Verse 2)

     D      A              Em             Bm
Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
        G                        A                 Bm
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
        D              A                Em         Bm
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
       G                  A                 Bm
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore


(Chorus)

      G          A              D                   G
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
         G          A               D               G
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
       G                       A
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again



(Bridge)

C G  F Bm
It hurts to be here
C G F Bm
I only wanted love from you
C G F Bm
It hurts to be here
G             A
What am I gonna do?



(Chorus)

      G          A              D                   G
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
         G          A               D
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
      G          A              D                   G
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
         G          A               D               G
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
       G                       A
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday



(Ending)

D
I'll breathe again
A
I'll breathe again
Em
I'll breathe again
Bm
I'll breathe again
D
I'll breathe again
A
I'll breathe again
Em Bm

Breathe Again

C     F  Am   F
  Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

  C                            F
  Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
  Am              F
  While I look outside
  C                         F
  So many things I'd say if only I were able
        Am                           F
  But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

  C
  You've got opinions man
  F
  We're all entitled to 'em
  Am          F
  But I never asked
           C
  So let me thank you for your time
          F
  And try not to waste any more of mine
  Am              F
  Get out of here fast

           G
  I hate to break it to you babe
              Am
  But I'm not drowning
          F              G
  There's no one here to save

  Am               F
  Who cares if you disagree
         C
  You are not me
              G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am               F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything?

  C  F   Am  F
  Ooh ooh oh

  C
  You sound so innocent
  F
  All full of good intent
  Am             F     
  Swear you know best
  C
  But you expect me to
  F
  Jump up on board with you
  Am                     F
  And ride off into your delusional sunset

  C
  I'm not the one who's lost
  F
  With no direction, oh
  Am               F
  But you'll never see 
  C
  You're so busy making maps
  F
  With my name on them in all caps
  Am
  You got the talking down
  F
  Just not the listening

  Am               F
  Who cares if you disagree
         C
  You are not me
               G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am               F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything?

     G            F
  All my life I've tried
              Am               F
  To make everybody happy while I
       G        F
  Just hurt and hide
              G                       F           C-F-Am-F
  Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide

  Am              F
  Who cares if you disagree
          C
  You are not me
               G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am                 F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything?

  Am              F
  Who cares if you disagree
         C
  You are not me
               G
  Who made you king of anything
     Am               F
  So you dare tell me who to be
      C                 G
  Who died and made you king of anything

  C                    F  
  Lemme hold your crown, babe
  Am    F
   Oh oh oh oh

King Of Anything

D
Once upon another time
D
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
G
Turned the key and took a drive
    D
Was free
D
Highway curve, the sun sank low
D
Buckley on the radio
G
Cigarette was burning slow
   D
So breathe
 
     D
Just yellow lines and tire marks
     G
And sun-kissed skin and handle bars
    D                                A
And where I stood was where I was to be
 
   D
No enemies to call my own
   G
No porch light on to pull me home
    D
And where I was is beautiful
  D           A
Because I was free
 
D
Once upon another time
D
Before I knew which life was mine
G                              D
Before I left the child behind me
D
I saw myself in summer nights
D
And stars lit up like candle light
G                                D
I make my wish but mostly I believed
 
   D
In yellow lines and tire marks
G
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
    D                                A
And where I stood was where I was to be

D
Once upon another time
D
Decided nothing good in dying
   G
So I would just keep on driving
D               A         D
Because I was free

[Verse 1]

F                Bb

Hold my breath and I'll count to ten

F                 Am

I'm the paper and you're the pen

F                         Bb

You fill me in and you are permanent

F          Dm7      C     Bb

And you'll leave me to dry

F                         Bb

I'm the writer and she's the muse

F                         Bb

And the one that you always choose

F                         Bb

She will falter and gift her blame

F          Dm7      C     Bb

And it starts all over again
Cgain again again

[Chorus]


Bb      F     Bb    C

She is bright lights and cityscapes

Dm7   Bb   C         Am

And white lies and cavalcades

Dm7  F    C     Bb

And she'll take all you ever have

F             Dm7

But I'm gonna love you

F        C    Bb

You say maybe it'll last this time

F              Dm7

But I'm gonna love you

F        C    Bb

You never have to ask

F              Dm7

I'm gonna love you

F        C       Bb

'Til you start looking back

F              Dm7

I'm gonna love you

Fsus2

So right
                             F

I wouldn't need a second chance

Bright Lights And Cityscapes

Verse 1 
D                                                   G
  You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does

The one that's always making everybody fall in love
Em                       A
  You see, girl you're a lot like me

D
  She rearranges all the light in the room
          G
So you're always in the shadows
                               Em
Well that's what it feels like to you
           A
Baby, I've been there too


Prechorus  
    Em                                       A
And I know how much it can sometimes hurt
                  D                            G
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl
Em                                      A
Take it from me that you have to see it first


Chorus (strummed thru outro)
              D                                   G
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes
                  Em
To make him wanna be with you
A
Let me remind you one more time
     D                              G
That maybe you're beautiful but you just can't see
                 Em
So why don't you trust me
A                                D
They'll see it too you beautiful girl, you


Verse 2
You wanna lay the blame on somebody else
All these tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf
But okay, I've seen it done that way

Just in case nobody ever comes through
Riding in to come to your rescue
You still have a chance
You don't have to be asked to dance


Prechorus 2
I know how much you've been dying to say
"Look how much everybody loves me"
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away


Chorus

F  Fsus4   Bbsus Bb


F                  Fsus4
Time to tell me the truth
               Bbsus                 
To burden your mouth for what you say
             Bb
No pieces of paper in the way
         F                           Fsus4
'Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
             Bbsus
The opposite sides on which we fall
               Bb
The loving you later's if at all
C
No right minds could wrong be this many times


F                  Fsus4
My memory is cruel
             Bbsus
I'm queen of attention to details
          Bb
Defending intentions if he fails
F                  Fsus4
Until now, he told me her name
           Bbsus
It sounded familiar in a way
             Bb                                      C
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
             Bb
If only I had been listening



F           Bb
Leave unsaid unspoken
F             Bb
Eyes wide shut unopened
C
You and me
Bb                  F
Always between the lines
            Bbsus
Between the lines



I thought I thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I've learned to listen through silence



F           Bb
Leave unsaid unspoken
F             Bb
Eyes wide shut unopened
C          Bb       C 
You and me always be
           Bb 
You and me always be



Dm           Dsus2
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
Dm                 Dsus2
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
C               Bb
Wait for me I'm almost ready
C                 Bb
When he meant let go

Bbsus4    B



Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
Between the lines

Between The Lines

C         C7           Dm
Word came through in a letter

C         C7           Dm
One of us changing our minds

          C             C7           Dm      Fm6
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send

F                      Fm
Letters to me that are mine

C        Gm         Dm
Told him I saw this coming

         C           Gm           Dm
That I'd practically packed up my things

      C           Gm            F          Fm
I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but

    F                       Fm                 
All honesty knows- I wasn't ready, no


Csus4
And so here we go bluebird

C           Am7         Em
Back to the sky on your own

Csus4
Oh, let him go bluebird

Csus4
Ready to fly

Csus4              C   Gm   Dm
You and I, here we go

        C   Gm   Dm   
Here we go



C            Gm             Dm           
This pair of wings worn and rusted

[Verse 1]

C         C7/Bb        Dm
Word came through in a letter

C         C7/Bb        Dm
One of us changing our minds

          C             C7/Bb        Dm/A    Fm6/Ab
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send

F                      Fm/Ab
Letters to me that are mine

C        Gm/Bb      Dm
Told him I saw this coming

         C           Gm/Bb        Dm
That I'd practically packed up my things

      C           Gm/Bb         F/A        Fm/Ab
I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but

    F                       Fm/Ab                   
All honesty knows- I wasn't ready, no


[Chorus]

Csus4/F Csus4/E   Csus4/D 
And so here we go bluebird

C           Am7         Em
Back to the sky on your own

Oh, let him go bluebird

Ready to fly

You and I, here we go

Here we go


[Verse 2]

This pair of wings worn and rusted

From too many years by my side

Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall

You meant to make me happy make me sad.

Want to make it better better so bad.

But save your resolutions for your never new year

There is only one solution I can see here.

Bottle It Up

CAPO ON 3


(Intro)
G


(Verse 1)

G
You can be amazing
G
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
Em
You can be the outcast
Em
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
C
Or you can start speaking up
G
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
G
And they settle 'neath your skin
Em
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
C
Sometimes a shadow wins
D
But I wonder what would happen if you



(Chorus 1)

G
Say what you wanna say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave



(Verse 2)

G
Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down
G
By the enemy
Em
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Em
Bow down to the mighty
C
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
G
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Em
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
C       D
Show me how big your brave is



(Chorus 2)

G
Say what you wanna say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave



(Bridge)

Em         G
And since, your history of silence
C
Won't do you any good
C
Did you think it would?
Em                G
Let your words be anything but empty
C                           D
Why don't you tell them the truth?



(Chorus 3)

G
Say what you wanna say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em                     C
And let the words fall out
         D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave

Brave

CAPO ON 1

(Intro) 

C - F - Em - G    


(Pre-Chorus)

C       
It's a really old city                                                   
F
Stuck between the dead and the living 
Em                      G                              
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf 
Am                         F                            
As the echo of heartbeats, from the ground below my feet 
Em                G (once)
Filled a cemetery in the center of Queens 



(Verse 1)

C                                       
I started running the maze of 
F                        Em
The names and the dates, some older than others 
G
The skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers 
Am                         F
With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders 
Em                G (once)
Built a cemetery, in the center of Queens 
 


(Chorus)

C                       Em                       F
You said, remember that life is, not meant to be wasted 
G                            C (once)
We can always be chasing the sun! 

C               Em             F      
So fill up your lungs and just run 
G                         C (once)
But always be chasing the sun! 


C - F - Em - G


(Verse 2)

C                    F                               Em
So how do you do it, With just words and just music, capture the feeling 
G
That my earth is somebody's ceiling, 
Am                      F
can I deliver in sound, the weight of the ground 
Em             G
Of a cemetery, in the center of Queens 
C
There's a history through her 
F                                     Em
Sent to us as a gift from the future, to show us the proof 
G
More than that, it's to dare us to move 
Am                      F
To open our eyes and to learn from the sky 
Em              G (once)
From a cemetery in the center of Queens 



(Chorus)

C                       Em                       F                      
You said, remember that life is, Not meant to be wasted 
G                            C (once)
We can always be chasing the sun! 

C               Em             F
So fill up your lungs and just run 
G                         C (once)
But always be chasing the sun! 



(Bridge)

C          F     G      
All we can do is try 
Am                  F       G
And live like we're still alive 



(Pre Chorus)

C
It's a really old city 
F
Stuck between the dead and the living
Em                      G
So I thought to myself, sitting on a graveyard shelf 
Am                           F
And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony 
Em                   G (once)
Played by a cemetery in the center of Queens 



(Chorus)

C                       Em                      F
You said, remember that life is not meant to be wasted 
G                            C (once)
We can always be chasing the sun! 
C               Em                     F
So fill up your lungs and just run
G                         C 
But always be chasing the sun! 


(Bridge)

C          F     G
All we can do is try 
Am                  F      G
And live like we're still alive 
C          F     G
All we can do is try 
Am                  F       G
And live like we're still alive


NOTE FOR ENDING: You can either go with the Pre-chorus thing that starts out the song  like she does or, what I like to do, is the first two lines of the chorus except softer and stay in the octave for "sun" instead of going up like in the rest of the song, and  fade off with a pretty C chord. :)

Thanks xx

A place you can stand for one night and get gone

It's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing

You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood's name
Em                      C 
  Stealing gold from the silver they see
         Em      C
But it's not me

Crush on the guy at the liquor store

Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore

And she forgets why she came here

Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood

For shame she says

None for you dear prince, I'm tired today

You're so worried about the maiden though you know

She's only waiting on the next best thing

Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend

Says will you meet me at midnight?

So I sing

She's only waiting

Appreciation
        Am               G             F            Am

Layin' down the law that I live by,

Well, maybe next time.

I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung

Simmer then the burn for a someone,

A wrong one.
    F                         G
I tell myself to let the story end

My heart will rest in someone else's hand

I'll be alright, just not tonight

But someday. Hey, I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight
 C
Someday.

"Maybe" is a vicious little word that could slay me

Keep me when I'm hurting and make me

Hang from your hand
Well, no more! I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door

If I'm making it a thought of you, what for?
Bb
That's not me anymore

I dare you darling, just you wait and see

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're

Throw your rocks at me

From your little glass house

And then take off running
Dm                  C
You're no better than me
      Am                Bb
We've both made mistakes intentionally

I needed saving
  Dm           C         Bb
And a good mistake needed making
Dm        C            G
Maybe you need the same thing

I didn't plan it

Taking back what's been taken for granted

    Dm                   C                   G  
I'm sick of the way I've been waiting to break free

I didn't plan it

I Didn't Plan It

Its pretty basic... Em, D, G, Bm, A

Em      D   G
head under water
         Bm
and they tell me
            A
to breathe easy for a while
     Em        D    G
but breathing gets harder
     Bm       A
even i know that

Em            D   G
you made room for me
                     Bm
but its too soon to see
       A
if im happy in your hands
Em     D    G             Bm        A
im unusually hard to hold on to
Em           D  G
blank stares at blank pages
Bm       A
no easy way to say this
Em        D   G                    Bm      A.... pause and hold
you mean well,  but you make this hard on me


                                    Em
i'm not gonna write you a love song
D          G
'cause you asked for it
            Bm           A
'cause you need one, you see
                          Em
i'm not gonna write you a love song
D          G
'cause you tell me it's
         Bm
make or break in this
        A
if your on your way
               Em           G
i'm not gonna write you to stay
   Bm                           A                       Em            G

VERSE 1
A                Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                F#m
I know its for the best
A                  Amaj7
Ill gather up the avenues
F#m                          F#m
And leave them on your doorstep
Dmaj7        C#m7
And Ill tip toe away

So you wont have to say
A                Amaj7       F#m    Fmaj7
You heard me leave


[Verse 2]

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   F#m
I know it’s what you want
A                           Amaj7
The bustle and the buildings
F#m                  E
The weather in the fall
Dmaj7        C#m7
And I’ll bow out of place
Esus4                 E
To save you some space
F#m           E     B
For somebody new


[Chorus]

D
You can have Manhattan
Dm
Cause I can’t have you

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   F#m
The one we used to share
A                           Amaj7
The one where we were laughing
F#m                  E
And drunk on just being there
Dmaj7        C#m7
Hang on to the reverie
Esus4                 E
Could you do that for me?
F#m           E        B
Cause I’m just too sad to

Cause I can’t have you


[Bridge]

A   Amaj7   F#m   E

D     C#m7    D/B    A
And so it goes
E
One foot after the other
     Dm
Til black and white begin to color in
A   Amaj7    F#m   E
And I know
D       C#m7
That holding us in place
Fmaj7
Is simply fear of what’s already changed


[Interlude]

A   Amaj7   F#m   E
A   Amaj7 F#m   E


[Verse]

A                     Amaj7
You can have Manhattan
F#m                   F#m
I’ll settle for the beach
A                           Amaj7
And sunsets facing westward
F#m                  Fmaj7
With sand beneath my feet
Dmaj7        C#m7
I’ll wish this away
F#m                 E
Just missing the days
F#m           F#m/E     B
When I was one half of two


[Chorus]

D
You can have Manhattan
Dm
Cause I can’t have you

Bb                 Gm                   Cm        Eb
There's too many things that I haven't done yet
                  Bb      Gm
There's too many sunsets 
Cm         Eb
I haven't seen
Bb          Gm                        Cm         Eb
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
Bb                     Gm
You would've thought by now
           Cm           Eb
I'd have learned something

(Bb Gm Cm Eb)
Yay yay yay yay... 
Mmmh do do do do

Bb            Gm                 Cm         Eb
I made up my mind when I was a young girl
                        Bb         Gm
I've been given this one world
  Cm              Eb
I won't worry it away, no
Bb            Gm                       Cm        Eb
But now and again I lose sight of the good life
                  Bb       Gm
I get stuck in a low light
           G#          Eb 
But then love comes in

Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      Gm
Many the miles
         Cm      Eb
Many the miles
Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you

Many the miles
                 Eb
But send me the miles 
              Bb       Gm       
and I'll be happy to 
Cm          Eb
follow you, love

(Bb Gm Cm Eb)
I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
'Cause I've had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I've learned how to cry
          G#        Eb
And I'm better for that

      Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
Sing, how far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      Gm
Many the miles
         Cm      Eb
Many the miles
Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
How far do I have to go to get to you
         Bb      D
Many the miles
                 Eb
But send me the miles 
              Bb       Gm       
and I'll be happy too, yeah 


(Bb Gm Cm Eb)
Red letter day and I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking about
Don't know if it's helping or not
But surely something has got to, got to, got to give
                      G#        Eb
'Cause I can't keep waiting to live

(Perc)
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I'll be happy to yeah

Many the miles

How far do I have to go to get to you

Many the miles
         Eb
Many the miles 
Bb             Gm           G#         Eb
I've been talking to God, don't know if it's helping or not
         Bb      Gm
Many the miles

Many the miles

Just about the time the shadows call
A			Em
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
A			Em
Paint a portrait of my mystery
A			Em
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
G		
A nameless face to think I see
Cadd9				D
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
G
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is
 Cadd9				C
Made out of my own devices.could I be wrong?
 
D		Em7 	G	
Time that I've taken
D		Em7 	G		
Pray is not wasted
 D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
Have I already tasted my piece of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love?
 
D			Em	
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
A			Em
Weave your shadows in the breath that we share
A			Em
You take more than just my sanity
A			Em
Take my reason not to care.
G
No ordinary wings I'll need
Cadd9		D
The sky itself will carry me back to you
G
Things I dream that I can do
 Cadd9				C
I'll open up the moon for you, Just come down soon
 
 D		Em7 	G		
Time that I've taken
D		Em7 	G		
Pray is not wasted
 D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
Have I already tasted my piece of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love?
D		Em7 	G		
Ready and waiting
D		Em7 	G		
For a heart worth the breaking
D		Em7 	G		Cadd9
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
D	Em7 	Cadd9
One sweet love.
 
F#m			Bm
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
	Bm
Sip on the southern rain, as I do
F#m			Bm
I don't look don't touch don't do anything
			A Em C
But hope that there is a you.

G 
The earth that is the space between
Cadd9				D
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
G
An unexpected love provides
Cadd9			C
My solitary suicide...oh I wish I knew

Time that I've taken

Am             F         C
Babe, will you save me a dance by the river
Am            F         C
Moonlight is serving us well
    Am              F      C
She makes the whole world silhouette 
                      Dm
Makes it flicker like film on a strip
Am             F         C
Dont let the sadness in yet to react as if
Am           F            C
Somehow its all come and gone
Am    F                  C                      Dm       
Lets pretend were all healed up and happy and moved on

Let us remain you and I
F                   Am
Tell the sun not to rise 
        Em      F
For the darkest time
F                 C
Moonlight keep us steady

Am         F             C                         Dm
I shackled myself to the past and my will has gone missing
Am             F             C
Lets call our shadow selves out for the evening
Am             F            C

Tell the sun not to rise for the darkness lies

To let go, to know we will are only shadows, only shadows, only shadows

Only Shadows

F
It's not simple to say
C
Most days, I don't recognize me
      Dm
These shoes and this apron

This place and its patrons
     Bb
Have taken more than I gave them

F
It's not easy to know
     C
I'm not anything that I used to be oh
          Dm
It's true, I was never attention's sweet center
  Bb
I still remember that girl


F
She's imperfect but she tries
       C
She is good but she lies
      Dm
She is hard on herself 
     Bb
She is broken but won't ask for help
       F
She is messy but she's kind
       C
She is lonely most of the time
       Dm
She is all of this mixed up and 
                     Bb
baked in a beautiful pie
                               F
She is gone but she used to be mine


F
It's not what I asked for
         C
Sometimes life slips in through a backdoor
    Dm                                                 Bb
and carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true

Now I've got you
F
You're not what I asked for
       A7
If I'm honest I know I would give it all back
      Dm
for a chance to start over
                     Bb
Rewrite an ending or two
                 
for the girl that I knew

         F
Who'd be reckless just enough
          C            
Who'd get hurt but who learns how to tough it up
           Dm
When she's bruised, and gets used
                   Bb
By a man who can't love
         
Then she'll get stuck
       F
And be scared of the life that's inside her
          A7
Growing stronger each day
    
Til it finally reminds her 
     Dm
That fight just a little 
                              Bb
To bring back the fire in her eyes
                                   F        A7
That's been gone but it used to be mine
       Dm          C
Used to mine

F
She is messy but she's kind
       C
She is lonely most of the time
       Dm
She is all of this mixed up 
               C          Bb
and baked in a beautiful pie
                               F
She is gone but she used to be mine

She Used To Be Mine - The Waitress

First verse:

F
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
C
Got the sugary me all stuffed up in my sleeve
Gm
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
Bb
And I'm just who you want me to be

F
But like most creatures down here on the ground
C
I'm composed of the elements moving around
Gm
I grow and change and I shift and I switch
Bb
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch

C
But that only happens when I get provoked
Gm
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
C
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
Bb
That mean songs are still better than going postal

Chorus:
                  F
And that guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
C
And then let it go
Gm 
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole
F   C   Gm  Bb
Asshole....asshole

Second Verse:

F
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
C
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
Gm
And I hate to think that I've ruined the day
Bb
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade

F
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
C
You're a toxin

Wasting perfectly good space
Gm
And I say what I think
Bb
'Cause it's more economic

Than drugs or a drink

Chorus:

F
And that guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
C
And then let it go
Gm 
Fuck that guy, he's just an asshole

Bridge:

Bb                    Am
No I won't let him in, under my skin
Gm                      F         Am
He's a sad sack of shit, it's pathetic
Bb                    Am
Just a festering sore
                    Gm             C
Who will never be more if I don't let him

Chorus:

F
That guy's an asshole
C
That girl's a bitch
Gm
Baby it's natural
Bb
No getting away from it
F
So sing it out with me
C
And then let it go
Gm                              F
Fuck that guy, he's just an ass hole

The Light intro

F C G Am F C G Am

F       C  G                     Am
No words my tears won't make any room for 'em, oh, and it 
F         C          G            Am
don't hurt like anything I've ever felt before. 
       F                 G            Am                   F      C        Am
This is  no broken heart, no familiar scars. This territory goes uncharted. 
F      C        G              Am                       F           C
Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in town, and I don't breathe,
G                               Am                        F         C
though I never meant to let it get away from me. Now I've too much to hold. 
                G                Am                F  C         G  Am
Ev'rybody has to get their hands on gold. And I want uncharted.
Bb                              F                G            C
Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling I'm going down.
Am                                F                     Dm             G7
Follow if you want. I won't just hang around Like you'll show me where to go.
         C       Am                          F                     Dm
I'm already out of fool-proof ideas so don't ask me how to get started
 G7                 G      Am         F     C     G     Am
It's all uncharted. La, la, la, la, ahh,          oh. 
F       C   G                              Am                      F        C
Each day,   I'm counting up the minutes till I get alone 'cause I can't stay
        G                Am                          F     C
In the middle of it all. It's nobody's fault, but I'm so low;
                     G           Am                F         C
Never seen so much I didn't know. Oh, everything is uncharted 
   Bb                              F            G              C
I know I'm getting nowhere when I only sit and stare like I'm going down
Am                               F                      Dm              G7
Follow if you wanna, don't just hang around, like you'll show me where to go. 
         C         Am                         F                      Dm
I'm already out of foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how to get started 
    G7              Am                E                 G                       D
It's all uncharted. Jump start my Kaleidoscope heart, love to watch the colors fade,
            F                      E7                    Am 
They may not make sense, but they sure as hell made me. 
                  E              G                         D
I won't go as a passenger, no. Waiting for the road to be laid. 
           F               C                  F
Though I may be going down, I'll take in flame over burning out. 
F      C            G                                      F          C  G 
Compare where you are to where you want to be and you'll get nowhere. 
      C         Am                                F
I'm going down, Follow if you want. I won't just hang around 
            Dm              G7          C              Am    
like you'll show me where to go. I'm already out of foolproof ideas,
          F                   Dm          G7
so don't ask me how to get started, it's all uncharted. 
G      Am       F    C  G  Am  
La, la, la,  ahhh

It rolls in from the sea

Beneath the winter snow,
F                 Am
Or so i have been told.

Am              G    C
They say were buried far,

Just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold.

December never felt so wrong,

Cause you're not where you belong;
F G    G  C
Inside my arms.

Am              G       C 
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

Bum bum bum bum bum bum
F               Am

Am                G      C     
I still believe in summer days.
C           G      F 
The seasons always change
F                    Am
And life will find a way.

Am             G         C  
Ill be your harvester of light
C          G   F 
And send it out tonight
F               Am
So we can start again.

It rolls in from the sea.

My love a beacon in the night.

Winter Song

According to the King of Anything Songfacts, in this song Bareilles vents her frustration about unsolicited love advice.  

[intro]
F Am Dm Am A# Dm Gm C

[Verse 1]
             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

(But we don't even know why)
G                D
You can call it fire and ice

But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)

G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]

Roll into your town and I'm walking around

And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm

that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
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
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

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.

No Bravery

Capo 2

Intro: G


G
Well let me tell you something let me tell you so

This could be the one thing that you really need to know
           C
You got to stop once in a while
                    G
And shake off that face of yours
       Em                       Bm
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
Em                                 Bm                 D
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister


       G
Well I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
           C                                                     G
She said "Don't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulously
   Em                                Bm
I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
             Em                             Bm               D
I said "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke oh sister"


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

  
      G
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be
          C                                               G
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
              Em                            Bm
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
          Em                            Bm              D
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on
