For [Dm] you
[C] there might be another [Bbmaj7] star [Am7]
But through my [Gm7] eyes the light of
[A7] you- it's all I [A] see [Dm, A]
For [Dm] you
[C] there might be another [Bbmaj7] song [Am7]
But all my [Gm7] heart can hear is
[A7] your melo[Dm]dy 

chorus:

So [Cm7] long ago my [F7] heart
without de[Bbmaj7]manding
In[Cm7]formed me that
no [F7] other love could [Bbmaj7] do
But [Dm7] listen did I [G7] not
though under[Cmaj7]standing
[A7] Fell in love with [Dm7] one
who would [E7] break my heart in [A] two 

For [Dm] you
[C] love might bring a toast of [Bbmaj7] wine [Am7]
But with each [Gm7] sparkle know the
[A7] best for you I [A] pray [Dm A]
For [Dm] you
[C] love might be for you to [Bbmaj7] find [Am7]
But I will [Gm7] celebrate our
[A7] love of yester[Dm]day (chorus)

For [Dm] you
[C] there might be another [Bbmaj7] star [Am7]
But through my [Gm7] eyes the light of
[A7] you- it's all I [A] see [Dm A]
For [Dm] you
[C] there might be another [Bbmaj7] song [Am7]
But in my [Gm7] heart your

Isn't She Lovely

Over [F] time...
I've been [Dm7] building my castle of [Gm7] love [C7]
Just for [F] two...
Though you [Dm] never knew you were my [G] rea- [A]son
I've [D] gone much too far for [A] you now to say
That [Am7] I've got to [G] throw my [C] castle away
Over [F] dreams...
I have [Dm7] picked out a perfect come [Gm7] true [C7]
Though you [F] never knew [Dm] it
was of you I've been [G] dream-[A]ing
The [D] sandman has come from [A] too far away
For [Am7] you to say [G7] come back [C] some other day
And though you don't be-[Bbmaj7]lieve that they [Gm7] do
[F] they do come true
[Gm7] for did my [C7] dreams
come true when [Eb6] I looked at [D7] you
And maybe too if [Cmaj7] you would be-[Am7]lieve
[G] You too might [C] be over[Gm]joyed
Over [C7sus]love, o-ver [C7] me

Over [F] hearts...
I have [Dm7] painfully turned every [Gm7] stone [C7]
Just to [F] find...
I had [Dm] found what I've searched to dis- [G]cov- [A]er
I've [D] come much too far for [A] me now to find
The [Am7] love that I [G] sought can [C] never be mine
And though the odds say [Bbmaj7] im-prob-a- [Gm7]ble
[F] what do they know
[Gm7] For in ro-[C7]mance
all true love [Eb6] needs is a [D7] chance
And maybe with a [Cmaj7] chance you will [Am7] find
[G] you too like [C] I
Over-[G]joyed, over [D7sus] love, [D7] over [G] you
[Ab] [C7sus] [C7] over [F] you

Overjoyed

Verse 1:

     Em7      Am
Call up, ring once hang up the phone,
   G      Fmaj7
To let me know made it home;
           Em7           Dm7
Don't want nothing to be wrong,
     Em7       G  Am
With part-time lo-vers.

Verse 2:

   Em7        Am
If she's with me I'll blink the lights,
   G       Fmaj7
To let you know tonight's the night,
    Em7    Dm7     Em7       G  Am
For me and you; my part-time lo-ver.

Chorus 1:

Gm  C9   F                         F/G  C
 We are, undercover passion on the run.
    Am7  Dm7                  Em F#m7b5 G Am
Cha-sing love, up against the su  -u   -u-un.
Gm  C9  F                           F/G    C
 We are strangers by day, lovers by night.
                Dm6                   Esus
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right.

Verse 3:

            Am
If I'm with friends and we should meet,
     G       Fmaj7
Just pass me by; don't even speak.
Em7                   Dm7
 Know the word's "dis-creet",
     Em7       G  Am
With part-time lo-vers.

    Em7        Am
But if there's some emergency;
     G      Fmaj7
Have a male friend to ask for me,
   Em7            Dm7
So then she won't peek it's really you;
   Em7       G   Am
My part-time lo-ver.

Chorus 2:

Gm  C9   F                         F/G  C
 We are, undercover passion on the run.
    Am7  Dm7                  Em F#m7b5 G Am
Cha-sing love, up against the su  -u   -u-un.
Gm  C9  F                           F/G    C
 We are strangers by day, lovers by night.
                Dm6                   Esus
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right.

Interlude:

Am            G
 Da da da da, da da da da,
Fmaj7               Em7
 Da da da da da, da da da da.
Dm7         Em7                Am7      Dm7
  Da da da, da da da da, da da da da da.

Chorus 3:

Gm  C9   F                         F/G  C
 We are, undercover passion on the run.
    Am7  Dm7                  Em F#m7b5 G Am
Cha-sing love, up against the su  -u   -u-un.
Gm  C9  F                           F/G    C
 We are strangers by day, lovers by night.
                Dm6                   Esus
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right.

Verse 4:

              Am
I've got some-thing that I must tell;
     G          Fmaj7
Last night some-one rang our doorbell,
    Em7        Dm7     Em7       G  Am
And it was not you; my part-time lo-ver.

Verse 5:

           Am
And then a man called our exchange,
    G      Fmaj7
But didn't want to leave his name,
  Em7                         Dm7
I guess that two can play the game;
   Em7       G  Am
Of part-time lo-vers.

Coda:

            Em7       G   Am
You and me; part-time lov-ers.
                 Em7       G   Am
But, she and he; part-time lov-ers.

Someday At Christmas

Intro:
D

Verse 1:
D
 Summer soft,
C#7
 Wakes you with a kiss,
             C7
To start the morning off.

B7
 In the midst of herself,
        G
Playing Santa Claus,
           Em7   A7
She brings gifts...
            D
Through her breeze.

D
 Morning rain,
C#7
 Gently plays her rhythmns,
        C7
On your window pane.

B7
 Giving you no clue,
            G
Of when she plans to change,
         Em7   A7     D
To bring rain, or sun-shine.

Bridge 1:

D
 And so you wait,
                   C#7
To see what she'll do;
      C7              B7
Is it sun or rain for you?
       G                    Em7
But it breaks your heart in two,
     A7       D    C  Bm Bb
When you find it's Oc-to-ber...

Chorus 1:

D          Gm7   C7
 And she's gone,
          Gm7   C7
And she's gone.
         Dmaj7  Em7
Summer's gone,
       D    C   Bm  Bb    Em7   A
Taking with her sum-mer's play...

Verse 2:

D
 Winter wind,
C#7
 Whispers to you that he,
         C7
Wants to be your friend.

B7
 But not waiting for your answer,
G
 He begins,
        Em7     A7           D
Forcing dangers way with his breeze.

D
 Morning snow,
C#7
 Plans to have a winter ball,
    C7
For you to throw.

B7
 But just where or when,
         G
He never lets you know,
        Em7
If it's snow,
   A7                D
Or clear days you'll find.

Bridge 2:

D
 And so you wait,
                   C#7
To see what she'll do;
      C7              B7
Is it sun or rain for you?
       G                    Em7
But it breaks your heart in two,
                 D      C  Bm Bb
'Cos you've been fooled by Ap-ril...

And he's gone,
         G#m7  C#7
And he's gone.
         Ebmaj7  Fm7
Winter's gone,
         Eb   C# Cm B
You find it's Oc-to-ber...

*KEY CHANGE*
------------

Chorus 3:

          Am7   D7
And she's gone,
          Am7   D7
And she's gone.
         Emaj7  F#m7
Summer's gone,
            E      D  C#m C
You've been fooled by Ap -ril...

*KEY CHANGE*
------------

Chorus 4:

         Bbm7  Eb7
And he's gone,
         Bbm7  Eb7
And he's gone.

How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life

You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life

&quot;Superstition&quot; is a popular song written, produced, arranged, and performed by Stevie Wonder for Motown Records in 1972, when Wonder was twenty-two years old. It was included on Wonder's Talking Book album and released as a single in many countries. It reached number one in the USA, and number eleven in the UK, in February 1973.  Wonder had actually written this song for Jeff Beck, but at the insistence of his own manager, Wonder himself recorded it first. Beck was instead offered &quot;Cause We've Ended As Lovers&quot;, which he recorded for 1975's Blow by Blow.

 The Isn't She Lovely Songfacts reports that Wonder wrote this to celebrate the birth of his daughter, Aisha. The baby crying in the song is Aisha.

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

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[intro x2]
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
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

[chorus]

E D                 A

ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)

when you get yourself depressed
                      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

[chorus]

E D                 A

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
