SONG 1
E A B E
Oh my life is changing everyday, Every possible way
E E A A B B E E
I know I felt like this before, But now I'm feeling it even more, Because it came from you
E E A A B B E E
Then I open up and see, The person falling here is me, A different way to be
E A B E
I want more, impossible to ignore, Impossible to ignore
E E A A B B E E
Now I tell you openly, You have my heart so don't hurt me, Your what I couldn't find
E E A A B B E E
A totally amazing mind, So understanding and so kind, You're everything to me
E E A A B B E E
Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems, 'cause you're a dream to me
SONG 2
C C/B
So tired that I couldn't even sleep, So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am G
Promised myself I wouldn't weep, One more promise I couldn't keep
F G C Am
It seems no one can help me now. I'm in too deep, there's no way out.
F Em G
This time I have real-ly led my-self a-stray.
C C/B
Can you help me remember how to smile, Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Am G
How on earth did I get so jaded, Life's mysteries seem so faded
C C/B
Bought a ticket for a runaway train, Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am G
Little out of touch, little insane, It's just easier than dealing with the pain
F G C Am
And everything seems cut and dry, Day and night, earth and sky
F Em G
Somehow I just don't believe it
C C/B
Runaway train never going back, Wrong way on a one-way track
Am G
Seems like I should be getting somewhere, Somehow I'm neither here nor there
SONG 3
G D/F#
So long ago, I don't remember when
F#7 Bm/F# A
That's when they say I lost my only friend
G D
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
F#7 Bm A
As I listened through the cemetery trees
G D
Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
F#7 Bm A
I wondered how she hung around this place
G D/F#
She said it's cold, It feels like Independence Day
F#7 Bm A
And I can't break away from this parade
G D/F#
But there's got to be an opening, Somewhere here in front of me
F#7 Bm A
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
G D
Well this place is old, It feels just like a beat up truck
F#7 Bm A
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
G D
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes, This place is always such a mess
F#7 Bm A
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
G D
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
F#7 Bm A
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
G D
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
F#7 Bm A
I think her death it must be killin' me
SONG 4
C Dm Bb F
Don't let the days go by. I love you
F C Dm Bb F
I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time. Are you at one, do you lie.
C Dm Bb F
We live on a wheel, where everyone steals. And when we rise, it's like strawberry fields.
C Dm Bb F
Treated you bad, you bruise my face. Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste.
C Dm Bb F C Dm
Don't let the days go by, Could've been easier on you.
Bb F
I couldn't change, Though I wanted to.
C Dm Bb F
Should've been easier by three, Our old friend fear, and you and me.
F C Dm Bb F
I needed you more, you wanted me less. I caused this mess, I just regress.
C Dm Bb F
It might be clear, simple and plain. Well that's just fine, that's just one of my names.
SONG 5
D F#m
Hey there Delilah, what’s it like in New York City?
D F#m
I’m a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty,
Bm G A Bm A
Yes you do, Time Square can’t shine as bright as you, I swear it’s true.
D F#m
Hey there Delilah, don’t you worry about the distance,
D F#m
I’m right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen,
Bm G A Bm A
Close your eyes, listen to my voice it’s my disguise, I’m by your side.
D F#m
Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard,
D F#m
But just believe me girl some day, I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
Bm G A Bm A
We'll have it good, we'll have the life we knew we would, My word is good.
D F#m
Hey there Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say,
D F#m
If every simple song I wrote to you, would take your breath away,
Bm G A Bm A
I’d write it all, even more in love with me you’d fall, We’d have it all.
D F#m
Hey there Delilah you be good, and don’t you miss me,
D F#m
Two more years and you’ll be done with school, and I'll be making history,
Bm G A Bm
Like I do, you’ll know it's all because of you,
G A Bm
We can do whatever we want to,
G A Bm A
Hey there Delilah here's to you, this one’s for you.
SONG 6
F A# A# F C
She's a good girl, loves her mama
F A# A# F C
Loves Jesus and America too
F A# A# F C
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
F A# A# F C
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
F A# A# F C
And it's a long day livin' in Reseda
F A# A# F C
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
F A# A# F C
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
F A# A# F C
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
F A# A# F C
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
F A# A# F C
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
F A# A# F C
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
F A# A# F C
And the good girls are at home with broken hearts
F A# A# F C
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
F A# A# F C
I wanna write her name in the sky
F A# A# F C
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'
F A# A# F C
Gonna leave this world for a while
