Jack Johnson

Inaudible Melodies F# B7 F# B7 C7 B7 F# C7 Ch F# A# B G# :

Brushfire fairytalesItsy bitsy diamond wellsBig fat hurricanesYellow bellied given names
Well shortcuts can slow you downAnd in the end we're boundTo rebound off of we
Well dust off your thinking capsSolar powered plastic plantsPretty pictures of things we ate
We are only what we hateBut in the long run we have foundSilent films are full of soundInaudibly free

Slow down everyoneYou're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you whenYou're moving like that

Inaudible melodiesServe narrational strategies
Unobtrusive tonesHelp to notice nothing but the zoneOf visual relevancy
Frame-lines tell me what to seeChopping like an axe andMaybe Eisenstein should just relax
Slow down everyoneYou're moving too fastFrames can't catch you when
You're moving like thatWell Plato's cave is full of freaks
Demanding refunds for the things they've seen
I wish they could believeIn all the things that never made the screen

And just slow down everyoneYou're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you whenYou're moving like that
Slow down everyoneYou're moving too fast
Frames can't catch you whenYou're moving like thatMoving Too....



Times Like These A E : F# Bm:

In times like theseIn times like thoseWhat will be will be
And so it goesAnd it always goes on and on...On and on it goes
And there has always been laughing, crying, birth, and dying
Boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break
And heal and grow and recreate and raise and nurture
But then hurt from time to time like theseAnd times like those
And what will be will beAnd so it goes
And there will always be stop and go and fast and slow
Action,Reaction, sticks and stones and broken bones
Those for peace and those for warAnd god bless these ones, not those ones
But these ones made times like theseAnd times like thoseWhat will be will be
And so it goesAnd it always goes on and on...On and on it goes
But somehow I know it won't be the sameSomehow I know it will never be the same.

We used to laugh a lot But only because we thought That everything good always would remain Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain Sunday morning and it's time to go Been raining all night so everybody knows Over to the field for tackle football Big hits, big hats, yeah give me the ball Rain is pouring, touchdown scoring Keep on rolling, never boring Karma, karma, karma chameleon We're talking kinda funny from helium We used to laugh a lot But only because we thought That everything good always would remain Nothing's gonna change there's no need to complain Monday morning and it's time to go Wet trunks and schoolbooks and sand on my toes Do anything you can to dodge the bus-stop blues Like driving a padiddle with a burnt-out fuse My best friend Kimi wants to go with you So meet her by the sugar mill after school My best friend Kimi wants to go with you Meet her by the sugar mill after school We used to laugh a lot But only because we thought That everything good always would remain We used to laugh a lot But only because we thought That everything good always would Everything good always would remain




"Drink The Water" C#m C#m G#m F#m : E G#m C#m C#m
Drink the water drink it down This time I know I'm bound To spit it back up I didn't want this Salty substitute, just not going to do I need some air, if I'm going to live through This experience reminds me of a clock That just won't tick I want to wake up >From this concussion But my dream is just not done I'm late again, It's just one of those Bad days look outside and Be careful what you ride You just might find That you're out of time To swim ashore If I drift long enough I'll be home He's got delusions between his ears Man it takes up too much space And all that tension between his gears man He'll never ever leave this place He's got stones instead of bones And everybody knows That can make you real real slow And if heaven was below He'd know just where to go Dive in the ocean And he'd sink like a stone And he'd say It's time to swim ashore If I drift long enough I'll be home Hold on if you can You're gonna sink faster Than you can imagine so hold Hold on if you can You're gonna sink faster Than you can imagine so hold It's just time to swim ashore If I drift long enough I'll be home

Bob C F

He spent fifteen years getting loaded
Fifteen years 'till his liver explodedNow what's bob gonna do now that he can't drink?
The doc said, "what were you thinkin' 'bout?"
Bob said, "that's just the point,I wasn't thinkin' 'bout nothing
Now i gotta do something else to pass the time."
Had someone shave his headGot a new identity
Sixty-two holed air conditioned bootsAnd a girl who rides a scooter to take him out of town
They could get awayRiding around, as the trucks drive by
You could here the mother fuckers go...A couple of lines, an extra thermos of joe
He'll be kickin' in heads at the punk rock show, yeah
Bob's the kinda guy who knows just whatBob's the kinda guy who knows just what to do
When the doctor tells him to"quit your drinkin', now's the time.
"Will he ever walk the lineTo all my friends, i feel just great
But will he ever walk the lineKickin' ass and bustin' heads
Red suspendersOnce a day he shaves his headBut will he ever walk the line?

Dynamite Hack

Boyz in the Hood A Fm Bm E

Woke up quick at about noon
Just thought that I had to be in Compton soon
I gotta get drunk before the day begins
Before my mother starts bitchin' about my friends
About to go and damn near went blind
Young niggaz on the pad throwin' up gang signs
I went in the house to get the clip
With my Mac10 on the side of my hip
I bailed outside and pointed my weapon
Just as I thought, the fools kept steppin
I jumped in the fo' hit the juice on my ride
I got front and back side to side
Then I let the alpine play
I was pumpin' new sh*t by NWAIt was "Gangster Gangster" at the top of the list
Then I played my own sh*t, it went somethin' like this:

Cruisin' down the street in my 6-fo'Jockin' the bitches,
slappin' the hoe'sI went to the park to get the scoop
Knuckle-heads out there cold shootin' some hoop
A car pulls up, who can it be?The fresh El Camino rollin Kilo G
He rolls down the window and he starts to sayIt's all about makin' that G.T.A.

Cuz the boyz in the hood are alwayz hardYou come talkin' that trash and we'll pull your cardKnowin' nothin' in life but to be legitDon't quote me boy, cuz I ain't said sh*t

...Bored as hell and I wanna get ill
So I go to a place where my homeboyz chill
The fellas out there try to make that dollar
I pulled up in the 6-fo' impalagreeted with a 40
and I start drinkin'And from the 8-ball my breath start stinkin'
I gotta get my girl to rock that bodyBefore I left I hit the bacardi
Pulled to the house get her out of the pad
And the bitch said something to make me mad
She said somethin' that I couldn't believe
So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy ass weave
She started talkin' sh*t, would'nt you know?
I reached back like a pimp and slapped the hoe'
And her father stood up and he started to shout
So I threw a right-cross and knocked his old ass out

Cuz the boyz in the hood are alwayz hard
You come talkin' that trash and we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life but to be legit'Don't quote me boy, cuz I ain't said sh*t

...Punk ass trippin in the dead of nighthomies score and key
is gonna fly, punk ass flythey rippin off everybody, man

Jason Mraz - Geek in the Pink Am7 FM9 Dm7 C E7 F Am7 E7 Am7


Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it
If you like the way I'm thinkin' baby wink at it
I may be skinny at times but I'm fat fulla rhymes
Pass me the mic and I'm a grab at it
Well isn't it delicious crazy way that I'm kissin'This baby
listen to this don't wanna miss it while it's hittin'
Sometimes you gotta fit in to get inBut don't ever quit cause soon
I'm gonna let you in but see

I don't care what you might think about me
you'll get by without me if you wantWell,
I could be the one to take you home
Baby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let down
But sugar don't forgetin' what you already know
That I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip awaylike the geek in the pink (do do do...)
well like the geek in the pink, yeah (geek in the pink)

Well my relationship fodder don't mean to bother nobody
But Cupid's automatic musta fired multiple shots at her
Because she fall in love too often that's what the matter
At least I talk about it keep a pattern of flattery and
She was starin' through the doorframe,and
Eyeing me down like already a bad boyfriend
Well she can get her toys outta the drawer then
Cause I ain't comin' home I don't need that attention, see

I don't care what she might think about meShe'll get by without me if she want
well, I could be the one to take her homeBaby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let downBut sugar don't forgetin' what you already know
that I could be the one to turn you outWe could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away

Hey baby look at me go
From zero to heroYou better take it from a geek like me
Well I can save you from unoriginal dum-dums
Who wouldn't care if you com....plete them or not
So what I've got a short attention spanA coke in my hand
Because I'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand
My hip hop and flip-flops well it don't stop with the light rock
A shot to mock you kinda puts me in the tight spot
The hype is nothing more than hoo-ha so I'm
Developing a language and I'm callin' it my own
So take a peek into the speaker and you'll see what I mean
That on the other side the grass is greener

I don't care what you might think about meYou'll get by without me if you want
I could be the one to take you homeBaby we could rock the night alone
If we never get down it wouldn't be a let downBut sugar don't forgetin' what you already knowI could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the townDon't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip awaylike the geek in the pink (do do do...)
I'm the geek in the pink ya'llgeek is the color for falli'm the geek in the pinkso i'm the geek ya'll in the pink ya'llgeek is the color for falli'm the geek in the pink

Interstate Love Song
=================
waiting on a Sunday afternoon
for what I read between the lines,
your lies.
feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh or does it cry?
reply?

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.

breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things I said to you.



Plush

And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where ya going to tommorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And I feel it

Where ya going for tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

And I feel, so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see, that these are the eyes of disarray
Would you even care?

And I feel it
And she feels it

Where ya going to tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it

Where ya going for tommorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?

When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
To find it
To find it
To find it




Creep

Forward yesterday
Makes me wanna stay
What they said was real
Makes me wanna steal
Livin' under house
Guess I'm livin', I'm a mouse
All's I gots is time
Got no meaning, just a rhyme

Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
Well, I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be

Feelin' uninspired
Think I'll start a fire
Everybody run
Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat
Then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing
Guess I'll leave it up to me

Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be

Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to me
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be
This I feel as the dawn
It fades to gray
I'm half the man I used to be, half the man I used to be,
Half the man I used to be

G Love

Baby's Got Sauce
Cooling out, cooling out
Waiting for my lady got the special sauce that's why she's my baby
My baby, my baby
And of course I'll do anything for her
Any day she wants to show her honey, show
Got a sharp a sharp tongue gimme gimme gimme some
Don't take to that gimme gimme none
You gots to work and deserve it earn it to own it
Once you got never ever gonna leave it alone don't take wise cracking or
Forgetting never been stood up your...
cuz she does the stepping
My baby got sauce
Your baby ain't sweet like mine
(She got sauce)
Your baby ain't sweet like mine
(She got sauce)
She ain't just sweet..
Well that's some funky lemonade you got going baby
Is it special for me?
Did you make it today
Cuz I'll always stop by if you like me to
I'll do anything that you could ever want for me to do
A kiss for some of this
A smile and it's done
Miss I'm your mister
My sister's your sister
My mother's your mother father's your father
It all started when I kissed her, I missed her, I did
It was love at first sight, yo, though
Better when it started
I ain't broken hearted but baby
I need some time, some time alone with the crew
To do the stupid things that we used to do
Upon this she slapped me
With a frying pan
Yo, this is love
I'm not gonna leave it
My baby's got sauce
Your baby ain't sweet like mine
(She got sauce)
Your baby ain't sweet like mine
(My baby got sauce)
She ain't that sweet, see...
Baby what I would do for just one look in my direction,
I gave you all I had but then you still act mad,
You don't give me no attention
My baby got sauce and of course as a matter of course
She does what she wants to because she's the boss
Please don't tell my friends about the situation
'Cause, like they think I'm on some extended vacation
'Cause, I don't get out to see my boys anymore
Only time I leave the house is to go to the store for some milk
What she wants what she wants me for
What could she want this time
I'm all hers
No, she ain't even mine, ain't even mine
Believe me what she do at night i dont know but baby
I could guess it ain't right
Coz she got me waiting comes in late and I'm trying not to raise my voice
Negotiating it
I'm confident that she'll win the argument
Shouldn't even started it I'm broken hearted I can't be parted y'all
I need a taste
So I count my loss...
Dig......My baby got sauce
Your baby ain't sweet like mine
(She got sauce)
Your baby ain't sweet like mine
(My baby got sauce)
Your baby ain't sweet like miiinnne
She got sauce, she got sauce, she got sauce
Your baby ain't sweet like mine, ain't so sweet like mine, ain't so sweet like mine
Ain't so sweet like mine
She ain't so sweet

Dave Matthews

Dave Matthews Band - Say Goodbye So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
What's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening
When we make
Our passion pictures
You and me twist up
Secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
To the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away
And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye




Jimithing

Lately I've been feeling low A remedy is what I'm seeking
Take a taste of what's below Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got But what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
Til I get to the end of this tunnel, mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you
Take a Jimi Thing Just to keep me swingin
I'd like to show you what's inside
I shouldn't care if you don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about Sometimes I walk there
Yes, God knows sometimes I take a bus I shouldn't care
I shouldn't care bereaved as I'm feeling

Day is gone I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind makes me feel Better for a short time
What I want is what I've not got What I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop And I'll say
If you could keep me floating just for a while
Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mummy
If you could keep me floating just for a while I'll get back to you

Pearl Jam

Black

Hey... oooh...Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soulAs the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turnOoh,
and all I taught her was everythingOoh,
I know she gave me all that she woreAnd now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

I take a walk outsideI'm surrounded by some kids at playI can feel their laughter,
so why do I sear?Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my headI'm spinning,
oh, I'm spinningHow quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be... yeah...Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but whyWhy, why can't it be, why can't it be mineAah... uuh..Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]

Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proudThe shades go down, its in her head
Painted room...cant deny theres something wrong...
Dont call me daughter, not fit toThe picture kept will remind me
Dont call me daughter, not fit toThe picture kept will remind me
Dont call me...She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above...ooh...oh...
Dont call me daughter, not fit to } the picture kept will remind me } (2x) dont call me
Daughter, not fit to be } the picture kept will remind me } dont call me...The shades go down (2x) the shades go, go, go...

Steve Miller Band

Take the Money and Run

This here's a story 'bout Billy Joe and Bobby Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high and watch the tube
And here's what happened when they decided to cut loose

/ G F C - / / / G F C BbF /

The headed down to old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobby Sue took the money and run, oo, oo, oo

{Refrain}
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run, oo, oo, oo
Go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run, oo, oo, oo

Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know, he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his living off of the people's taxes

Bobby Sue, oh, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey, you know they got away
They headed down south and they're still running today
Singin'






The Steve Miller Band The Joker Lyrics

Some people call me the space cowboy,yeah Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitus of love People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry baby
Don't worry Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin on the run Wooo Wooooo

You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches Wanna shake your tree a Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure dont want to hurt no-one Wooo Woooo

People keep talking about me baby
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
Cause I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time Come on baby and I'll show you a good time

Greatful Dead

Ripple G G C C G D C G Am Am D D C G A D

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine,
and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
would you hear my voice come thru the music,
would you hold it near as it were your own?
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
perhaps they're better left unsung.
I don't know, don't really care
let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
when there is no pebble tossed,
nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
if your cup is full may it be again,
let it be known there is a fountain,
that was not made by the hands of men.
There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
and if you go no one may follow,
that path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
when there is no pebble tossed,
nor wind to blow.

You who choose, to lead must follow,
but if you fall you fall alone,
if you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

Metallica

Nothing Else Matters
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they knowBut I know
Never opened myself this wayLife is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just sayTrust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something newOpen mind for a different view
And nothing else mattersNever cared for what they say
Never cared for games they playNever cared for what they do
Never cared for what they knowSo close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we areAnd nothing else matters
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they knowBut I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Weezer

Say it Ain't so
Oh Yeah. All Right.
Somebody's Heiney is crowning my icebox.
Somebody's cold one is giving me chills.
Guess I'll just close my eyes.
oh yeah. All right. Feels good. Inside.

Flip on the Tele... Wrestle with Jimmy.
Somethin' is bubblin' behind my back.
The bottle is ready to go.

Chorus- Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
Your drug is a heartbreaker. Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah.
My love is a life-taker.

I can't confront you, I never could do...
That which might hurt you.
Try and be cool, when I say:
This way is-a-waterslide-away-from-me-to-chase-her-fuller-everyday! Hey! So be cool.

Chorus- Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah. Your drug is a heartbreaker.
Say it ain't so a-woah-a-woah. My love is a life-taker!

Verse 4- Dear daddy, I write you in spite of fears of silence.
You cleaned up, found Jesus, Things are good also I hear.
This bottle of Stevens awakens ancient feelings...
Like father, Step-Father... This song is drowning in the blood! Yeah Yeah-Yeah Yeah-Yeah! Chorus
Guns N Roses - Patience

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing youI'm still all right to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sureBut you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slowIt'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patienceSaid, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fineAll we need is just a little patience

I sit here on the stairs'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tenseBut I can't speed up the time
But you know, love. There's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slowAnd things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make itWe won't fake it
Ooh, never break it'Cause I can't take it(...Little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah)
(Need a little patience, yeah)(Just a little patience, yeah)(Some more patience, yeah)

I've been walking the streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change, but baby the name
I ain't got time for the game (Gotta have some patience, yeah)'
Cause I need youYeah, yeah, but I need you (All it takes is patience)
Ooh, I need you (Just a little patience)Whoa, I need you (Is all you need)All this time

Knockin on Heavens Door

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

"You just better start sniffin' your ownrank subjugation jack 'cause it's just youagainst your tattered libido, the bank andthe mortician, forever man and it wouldn'tbe luck if you could get out of life alive"*Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

You Don't Know How It Feels - Tom Petty

let me run with you tonight i'll take you on a moonlight ride
there's someone i used to see but she don't give a damn for me

but let me get to the point let's roll another joint and turn the radio loud
i'm too alone to be proud you don't know how it feels you don't know how it feels to be me

people come, people go some grow young, some grow cold
i woke up in-between a memory and a dream

so let's get to the point let's roll another joint let's head on down the road there's somewhere i gotta go and you don't know how it feels you don't know how it feels to be me

my old man was born to rock he's still tryin' to beat the clock
think of me what you will i've got a little space to fill

so let's get to the point let's roll another joint let's head on down the road there's somewhere i gotta go and you don't know how it feels you don't know how it feels no, you don't know how it feels to be me you don't know how it feels you don't know how it feels no, you don't know how it feels to be me


Last Dance With Mary Jane
she grew up in an indiana town had a good lookin' momma who never was around
but she grew up tall and she grew up right with them indiana boys on an indiana night
well she moved down here at the age of eighteen she blew the boys away,
it was more than they'd seen i was introduced and we both started groovin'
she said, "i dig you baby but i got to keep movin'"
on, keep movin' on
last dance with mary jane one more time to kill the pain
i feel summer creepin' in and i'm tired of this town again

well i don't know what i've been told you never slow down,
you never grow old tired of screwing up, tired of goin' down tired of myself,
tired of this town oh my my, oh hell yes honey, put on that party dress
buy me a drink, sing me a song take me as i come 'cause i can't stay long

last dance with mary jane one more time to kill the pain
i feel summer creepin' in and i'm tired of this town again

there's pigeons down on market square she's standin' in her underwear
lookin' down from a hotel room nightfall will be comin' soon
oh my my, oh hell yes you've got to put on that party dress
it was too cold to cry when i woke up alone i hit the last number, i walked to the road
