I use to be so strong
Em          C
Your arms around me tight

Everything, it felt so right

Broken up, deep inside

You made me feel alright
     G         D
For once in my life
Em             C
Now all that's left of me
G           D
Is what I pretend to be
Em    C           G           D
So together, but so broken up inside
      C
'Cause I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

Am              C       Em
Swallow me then spit me out
Am               C        Em
For hating you, I blame myself
Am            C        Em
Seeing you it kills me now

Where Is Your Heart

   Verse 1
      D
   And I don't know 
              A                 G
   This could break my heart or save me
             D          A          G
   Nothing's real until you let go completely
             D              A                  G     
   So here I go with all my thoughts I've been saving 
             Bm             A              G
   So here I go with all my fears weighing on me


   Chorus:
   Bm               A         G
   Three months and I'm still sober
   D             A                  Bm    G
   Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers

   but i know it's never really over

               D
   And I don't know 
           A                  G
   I could crash and burn but maybe
          D                A               G
   At the end of this road i might catch a glimpse of me
              D              A                G    
   So I won't worry about my timing i want to get i right
      D                A               G
   No comparing second guessing no not this time

   Three months and it's still harder now
   G
   Three months I've been living here without you now 
   Bm                A            G
   Three months yeah Three months ohhh

Sober

                   Am     F
It's like you're a drug
                    G                   E
It's like you're a demon I can't face down
              Am       F
It's like I'm stuck
                G                        E
It's like I'm running from you all the time
       Am               F
And I know I let you have all the power
                G                       E
It's like the only company I seek is misery all around
                    Am     F
It's like you're a leech
  G                   E
Sucking the life from me
                  Am      F
It's like I can't breathe
             G        E
Without you inside of me
        Am                 F
And I know I let you have all the power
       G                       E
And I realize I'm never gonna quit you over time

Chorus
                   Am     F
It's like I can't breathe
             G            E
It's like I can't see anything
            Am     F
Nothing but you
       G         E
I'm addicted to you
                  Am F
It's like I can't think
             G            E
Without you interrupting me
      Am
In my thoughts
       F
In my dreams
        D          E
You've taken over me
                  F 
It's like I'm not me
                  E
It's like I'm not me


Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)
It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways
If I don't give you up now

Am
I'm hooked on you
Am/C      B
I need a fix
            Dm
I can't take it
     Am
Just one more hit
Am/C        G         Gsus   G
I promise I can deal with it
Am              Am/C
I'll handle it, quit it
      B
Just one more time
    Dm
Then thats it
Am        Am/C           G        E
Just a little bit more to get me through this

G             D            Em                        D
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
G            D
I will not let myself
Em                                 D
Cause my heart so much misery
G          D        Em
I will not break the way you did,
          C
You fell so hard
G                      D     
I've learned the hard way
        C                    D
To never let it get that far


                   G
Because of you
           Em                                D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
                  G
Because of you
                                    Em                        D
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
                  G
Because of you
                 C                D                           Em
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
                  G
Because of you
         D
I am afraid


G             D
I lose my way
            Em                D                       G
And it's not too long before you point it out
              D
I cannot cry
Em                                D                        G
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
                   D
I'm forced to fake
    Em                  D                  G
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
                       D
My heart can't possibly break
              C                          D
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young
                     Em                           A
You should have known better than to lean on me
                G                     D
You never thought of anyone else
             A
You just saw your pain
           G                               C
And now I cry in the middle of the night

For the same damn thing

Verse:
Am           G
Grew up in a small town
C                       F
And when the rain would fall down
Am       G            F 
I'd just stare out my window
Am               G 
Dreaming of what could be
C                 F 
And if I'd end up happy
Am G     F
I would pray 

Am             G
Trying hard to reach out
C                   F 
But when I tried to speak out
Am        G            F 
Felt like no one could hear me
Am           G 
Wanted to belong here
C                     F 
But something felt so wrong here
Am G   F 
So I'd pray 
Am      G       D   F
I could break away 

Chorus:
C                             G  
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
     Am                    F        
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky. 
C
Make a wish, take a chance, 
G                  Am    G F
Make a change, and break away. 
C                       G
Out of the darkness and into the sun. 
    Am                     F
But I won't forget all the ones that I love.
     C 
I'll take a risk, take a chance, 
G                  Am    G F
Make a change, and break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean 
Am            G
Get onboard a fast train

Travel on a jetplane
Am  G F 
Far away

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging with revolving doors

Am             F             C
 And all I remember is your back
 Am                           F                    C
 Walking towards the airport leaving us all in your past
             G               Am           F
 I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
G               Am
 Begged you to want me
                  F
 But you didn’t want to


[Chorus]

       C      
 But piece by piece he collected me
    G
 Up off the ground where you abandon things
      Am                                          F
 And piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me

 At six years old and you know
C
 He never walks away

 He never asks for money
G
 He takes care of me

 He loves me
  Am
 Piece by piece

 He restored my faith
         F
 That a man can be kind
                   C
 And a father could stay


[Verse]

Am                F           C
 And all of your words fall flat
         Am                      F                      C
 I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
       G                  Am
 But your love it isn’t free
               F
 It has to be earned
        G                     Am
 Back then I didn’t have anything you needed
         F
 So I was worthless


[Chorus]

       C      
 But piece by piece he collected me
    G
 Up off the ground where you abandon things
      Am                                          F
 And piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me

 At six years old and you know
C

 He never asks for money
G
 He takes care of me

 He loves me
  Am
 Piece by piece

 He restored my faith

 That a man can be kind

[Chorus]

  C
 Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
          G
 I would never leave her like you left me and
  Am
 She will never have to wonder her worth
          F
 Because unlike you I’m gonna put her first and you know
C
 He’ll never walk away

 He’ll never break her heart
G
 He’ll take care of things

 He’ll love her
  Am
 Piece by piece

 He'll restore my faith
         F 
 That a man can be kind
                              
 And a father should be great

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

&quot;Since U Been Gone&quot; is a song written and produced by Max Martin and Lukasz &quot;Dr. Luke&quot; Gottwald and recorded for American singer Kelly Clarkson's second album, Breakaway (2004). According to the Since U Been Gone Songfacts, the song almost didn't make it onto the Breakaway album; when Clarkson heard the first, acoustic version of the tune, she didn't like it. It wasn't until it was given a rocking treatment that she warmed to the song.

&quot;Because of You&quot; is a song written by pop rock singer Kelly Clarkson, David Hodges and Ben Moody, both formerly of Evanescence, and produced by Hodges and Moody. It is the fourth single (third in Europe) from Clarkson's second album, Breakaway (2004). The song, which Clarkson wrote at age 16, discusses the difficulties she faced due to her parents' divorce.   As of June 2008, Because of You has scored over 6,180,000 on MediaTraffic and hit #37 on the Top Achievements chart on MediaTraffic.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,

we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,

from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

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.
