Intro
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
(slide on D string)
I love the way you lie
Verse
Em
I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
C
And right now, there's a steel knife in my windpipe
G
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
Dadd11
As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
Em
High off of love, drunk from my hate,
C
it's like I'm huffin' paint and I love it, the more I suffer, I suffocate
G
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates
Dadd11
Me, she fuckin' hates me, and I love it, Wait!
Em
Where you going? I'm leaving you. No you ain't,
C G
Come back. We're running right back, here we go again, it's so insane
Cuz when it's going good, it's going great
Dadd11
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
Em
But when and it's bad, it's awful, I feel so ashamed,
C
I snap Who's that dude?, I don't even know his name
G
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I guess I don't know my own strength
Chorus
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11

Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I love the way you lie
Verse 2
Em
You ever love somebody so much, you can barely breathe when you with 'em?
C
You meet, and neither one of you even know it hit 'em
G
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah them chills used to get 'em
Dadd11
Now you gettin' fuckin' sick of lookin' at 'em
Em
You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothin' to hurt 'em
C
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit 'em
G
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
Dadd11
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments when you're in 'em
Em
It's the face that's the culprit, controls you both
C
So they say, you'd best to go your separate ways
G
Guess that they don't know ya cuz today, that was yesterday,
Dadd11
Yesterday is over and it's a different day,
Em
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her,
C
next time you'd show restraint, you don't get another chance
G
Life is no nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Dadd11
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Chorus
Em C
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts.
Em C
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
G Dadd11
But that's alright because I love the way you lie,
Em C
I love the way you lie
G Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
I love the way you lie
Verse 3
Em
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
C
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
G
But your temper's just as bad as mine is; you're the same as me
Dadd11
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Em
Baby please come back, it wasn't you. Baby it was me,
C
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
G
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
Dadd11
All I know is I love you too much, to walk away though
Em
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
C
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
G
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Dadd11
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Em
Next time? There won't be no next time
C
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
G
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back. I know I'm a liar,
Dadd11 (abrupt stop)
If she ever tries to fuckin' leave again,
Ima tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
Just gonna
Chorus

Stand there and watch me burn,

Chorus: I Am A sinner Who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me Lord forgive me Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone don't kill my vibe don't kill my vibe
I can feel your energy from two planets away
I got my drink I got my music I will share it but today I'm yelling
don't kill my vibe don't kill my vibe
Verse 1: Look inside my soul and you can find gold and maybe get rich
Look inside of your soul and you can find out it never exist
I can feel the changes / I can feel a new life/ I always knew life can be dangerous
I can say that I like a challenge and you tell me it's painless / You don't know what pain is
How can I paint this picture / When the color blind is hanging with ya
Fell on my face and I woke with a scar / Another mistake living deep in my heart
Buried on top of my sleeve in a flick /I can admit that it did look like yours
Why you resent every making of this /Tell me your purpose is petty again
But even a small lighter can burn a bridge .Even a small lighter can burn a bridge
I can feel the changes / I can feel the new people around me just want to be famous
You can see that my city found me then put me on stages
To me that's amazing / To you that's a quick check, with all disrespect let me say this
Verse 2: I'm trying to keep it alive and not compromise the feeling we love
You trying to keep it deprived and only co-sign what radio does And I'm looking right past ya
We live in a world, we live in a world on two different axles
You live in a world, you living behind the mirror
I know what you scared of, the feeling of feeling emotions inferior
This shit is vital, I know you had to / This shit is vital,
I know you had to Die in a pitiful vain, tell me a watch and a chain
Is way more believable, give me a feasible gain Rather a seasonal name,
I'll let the people know this is something you can blame On yourself you can remain, stuck in a box
Ima break out and then hide every lock / Ima break out and then hide every lock
I can feel the changes / I can feel the new people around me just want to be famous
You can see that my city found me then put me on stages To me that's amazing
To you that's a quick check, with all disrespect let me say this
Verse 3: You ain't heard a chorus like this in a long time
Don't you see that long line
And they waiting on Kendrick like the 1st and the 15th
3's in the air I can see you are - in sync
Hide your feelings, hide your feelings now what you better do
I'll take your girlfriend and put that pussy on a pedestal
don't kill my vibe . don't kill my vibe /Walk out the door and they scream it's alive
My new year's resolution is to stop all the pollution
Talk too motherfucking much, I got my drink I got my music I say - don't kill my vibe
don't kill my vibe / don't kill my vibe / don't kill my vibe

If this ain't love baby, just say so
Yeah, I was just hangin' out
Some little west coast town
Found a bar out by the sand
So I made my way in
First thing that caught my eye
Like nothin' I ever seen
Sunburned auburn hair
A California dream
Yeah, she was shakin' them hips
To some old Motown song
I couldn't say a thing
So I sang along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin'
Yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
So I just hung around
This little west coast town
I dropped by every night
I stayed 'til closin' time
My little mystery
That girl is killin' me
So I put on a song
Just to sing along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I've gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin', yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
She's got me mesmerized
She's all I'm thinkin' 'bout
All I think about, think about, think about
So I'm right here, right now
Hummin' this little song
If I could say a thing
I'd want you to know
You were a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, you're movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind) oh
I got to know your name, I got to see you again
And if you're listenin', listenin', listenin'
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Girl, I'm hangin' 'round this little town, yeah
(Where you goin', baby?)
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1] Am E7 E7 Am
They say around the way you've asked for me
There's even talk about you wanting me
I must admit that's what I wanna hear
But that's just talk until you take me there
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh If it's true, don't leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there
Tell me what you're feeling because I need to know
Girl, you gotta let me know which way to go
[Chorus]
Because I need to know, I need to know
Tell me, baby girl, cause I need to know
I need to know, I need to know
Tell me, baby girl, cause I need to know
RAP
[Verse 2]
My every thought is of this being true
It's getting harder not to think of you
Girl, I'm exactly where I wanna be
The only thing's I need you here with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh If it's true, don't leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there
Tell me what you're feeling because I need to know
Girl, you gotta let me know which way to go
[Chorus]
Because I need to know, I need to know
Tell me, baby girl, cause I need to know
I need to know, I need to know

Rock the Casbah. Rock the Casbah.
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound.
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound.
But the Bedouin, they brought out the electric camel drum.
The local guitar picker got his guitar picking thumb.
As soon as the Shareef had cleared the square,
They began to wail.
Chorus
Now over at the temple
Oh, they really pack em in.
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing.
But as the wind changed direction
and the temple band took five
The crowd got a whiff
Of that crazy casbah jive.
Chorus
The king called up his jet fighters,
He said, you better earn your pay.
Drop your bombs down between the minarets
Down the casbah way.
As sson as the Shareef was chauffered out of there,
The jet pilote tuned to the cockpit radio blare.
As soon as the Shareef was outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed.

[Verse]
C#m
It starts with one thing I don't know why
B
It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

All I know, time is a valuable thing

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

Watch the time go right out the window
A
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know

Watch you go, I kept everything inside

And even though I tried, it all fell apart
A
What it meant to me will eventually be
B
A memory of a time when
[Chorus]

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end it doesn't even matter

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so far

Things aren't the way they were before
A
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me

In the end you kept everything inside

And even though I tried, it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be

A memory of a time when

(Somethin' that I can't say is one and the same)
Ever since you told me
(only room for two, I've been makin' less room for you)
Only God can hold me
(judge me, the only Man that help me is above me, holla)
I met so many men and
It's like they?re all the same
My appetite for lovin'
Is now my hunger pain
And when I'm feelin' sexy
Who's gonna comfort
My only problem is
Their insecurity
BRIDGE
C Am
(Tired of bein' alone) Yeah, yeah
(Arguin on the phone) Yeah, yeah
(Tellin' all your friends) Yeah, yeah
(That your men don?t understand) My love
CHORUS

Cause I'm real (The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk)
Cause I'm real (The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
Cause I'm real (The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
Cause I'm real And I can't go on without you
Girl, I've been thinkin' bout this relationship And I wanna know
is this as good as it gets Cause we've been through
the worst times and the best times
But it was our time, even if it?s part-time
My baby lookin' at me, smilin' at me, laughin' like we wasn't happy
But not knowin', ever growin' and we're gettin' married
Hard lovin' and straight thuggin'
, I ain't doin' this for nuttin'
hoppin', poppin, let's ride up in the Benz
Hair blowin' in the wind, sun glistenin' off my skin, hey
and I'm nasty, and you know me
But you still don't mess with your baby
BRIDGE
CHORUS 2
Now people lovin' me and hatin' me and treatin' me ungratefully
But not knowin' that they ain't makin' or breakin' me
My life I live it to the limit and I love it
Now I can breathe again, baby, I can breathe again
people screamin' what the deal with you and so and so
I tell them es my z but they don't hear me though
I live my life to the limit and I love it
Now I could breathe again, baby, I could breathe again

CHORUS till end
Am F
As a matter of fact I was the one who said I love you first
C G
It was about eight years ago, don't act like you don't know
We were sittin' at home in your mama's livin' room
Cause, we couldn't be alone
See your mama knew I was something else, she knew how I felt
Back then we were in school; and that's your favourite excuse
Growin' up I was a fool; and I can't lie I'm missing you
Listen and don't trip
I think I need a bottle with a genie in it
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
One wish, one wish, one wish
[ Tab from- http://www.guitaretab.com/r/ray-j/367144.html ]
Now tell me is this the only way I can get you right back in
If so then searchin' I'll go, then I can have you for sho
Then you'll be loving me, holding me, kissing me
So girl don't tell me what I'm feeling is make believe
I swear if I lose a second chance with you
I wouldn't know what to do
I'd probably check myself into some kind of clinic
I couldn't be alone because without you I'm sick
Here's my wish list
First one, I would create a heart changing love
Second one, I'll take yours and fill it all up
Third one, but I don't need a lot of wishes cause I'll be okay if I get one
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time
If I had one wish
I don't even know how we ended upon this road
And, even though we are grown, Girl I just want you to know
If I had one wish, we would be best friends
Love would never end, it would just begin
If I had one wish, you would be my boo
Promise to love you, trust me I'll trust you
If I had one wish, we would run away
Making love all day, have us a baby
If I had one wish, I'd make you my whole life
And you'd be my wife, make it right this time

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed till today

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow

Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow

Our favorite place we used to go

The warm embrace that no one knows

The loving look that's left your eyes

That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
[Verse 3]
(A#) (F)
If I could see the future and how this plays out

I bet it's better than where we are now

But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed till today
(GM)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow

G Bm
I eat my dinner in my bathtub

Then I go to sex clubs
Watching freaky people getting it on

It doesn't make me nervous
D
If anything I'm restless
Yeah I've been around and I've seen it all
[Verse 1]
G Bm
I get home, I got the munchies
D
Binge on all my Twinkies
Throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep
G Bm
And I drank up all my money

Tasted kind of lonely

You're gone and I got to stay high
Bm D
All the time to keep you off my mind, oooh, oooh

Spend my days locked in a haze

Trying to forget you babe, I fall back down
G Bm D
Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you, oooh, oooh
[Verse 3]

Pick up daddy's at the playground

How I spend my day time
Loosen up the frown, make them feel alive

I know my way too easy
[Chorus]

Oh Oh
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore
For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me
intro - G / C / G / Am
verse - G / C/ G / Am x4
an old man turned 98, won the lottery and died the next day
it's a black fly in a new chardonney
it's a death row pardoned two minutes too late...
chorus- same as verse (x3)
its like rain on your wedding day
its a free ride when you've already paid
it's the good advice that you just didn't take
Bb / F / G
and who would have thought it figured
verse
traffic jams when you're already late
a no smoking sign on your cigarette break
its like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
its like meeting the man of your dreams then meeting his beautiful wife
chourus x2
Am/ G/ Am / C
life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you think
every things ok and everything blows up in your face...

Em D
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car.
Em D
I got a plan to get us out of here-
Cmaj7 G
I been working at the convenience store,
Em D
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Cmaj7 G
Won't have to drive too far
Em D
Just 'cross the border and into the city,
Cmaj7 G
You and I can both get jobs
Em D
And finally see what it means to be living.
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car.
Em D
is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7 G
We gotta make a decision-
Em D
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
Cmaj7 G Em D X4
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 C G
So I remember when- we were driving, driving in your car,
C G
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk,
Em C
City lights lay out before us
Em D
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
C Em D
And I had a feeling that I belonged
C Em D Em C Em
And I had a feeling I -- could be someone, be someone, be someone.
C Em D Em C Em
And I had a feeling I -- could be someone, be someone, be someone.
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 G
You see, my old man's got a problem-
Em D
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is.
Cmaj7 G
He says his body's too old for working,
Em D
His body's too young to look like his.
Cmaj7 G Em D
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
Cmaj7 G
I said, Somebody's got to take care of him.
Em D
So I quit school and that's what I did.
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car.
Em D
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves;
Cmaj7 G
you still ain't got a job
Em D
And I work in a market as a checkout girl.
Cmaj7 G
I know things will get better-
Em D
You'll find work and I'll get promoted,
Cmaj7 G
We'll move out of the shelter
Em D
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs.
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7 G
You got a fast car.
Em D
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7 G
We gotta make a decision-
Em D
Leave tonight or live and die this way.
Cmaj7 G Em D X4
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 C G
So I remember when- we were driving, driving in your car,
C G
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Em C
City lights lay out before us
Em D
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
C Em D
And I had a feeling that I belonged

And I had a feeling I -- could be someone, be someone, be someone.

Tell me have you heard that lately?
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me

Flights in the morning

I know you still think about the times we had
I say f-ck that that you think you found
And since you picked up I know hes not around

Outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad
But shit its all good

Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women thats living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels Im ashamed
Bet that you know them, I wont say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same
Ive had sex four times this week Ill explain
Having a hard time adjusting to fame
Sprite in that mixture, Ive been talking crazy girl
Im lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
Im just sayin, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me
Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said you s crazy
I hope no-one heard that
I hope no-one heard that
Cause if they did, we gon be in some trouble

Wanna show you how much you got your girl feeling good, oh, yes
Wanna show you how much,
G / / D7 D7 / / G
Well you can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I am gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
Or you can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
Chorus:
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whos fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your aunt Louise tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not ok
Or you can tell my eye to watch out for my mind
It might be walkin' out on me today

Just a small town girl on a Saturday night
Em7 Em(maj7)
Looking for the fight of her life
C Cadd9
in the real time world no one sees her at all
Cadd9(13) B7sus4 B7
they all say she's crazy
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She had danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
[Pre-Chorus]

It can cut you like a knife if the fight becomes the fire

On the wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
C* Dsus4 A9
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
[Verse]
On the ice blue line of insanity
is a place most never see
It's a hard won place of mystery
touch it but can't hold it
You work all your life, for that moment in time
It could come or pass you by
it's a push shove world but there's always a chance
if the hunger stays the night
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a cold kinetic heat struggling stretching for the peak
Never stopping with her head against the wind
[Chorus]
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor (I sure know)

And she's dancing like she's never danced before...

Verse 1: Cmaj7 Dm7
Well sometimes i go out by myself and i look across the water
And I think of all the things,
what you're doing and in my head i make a picture
Chorus F Em7 F Em7 G7 G7
'cos since i've come on home , well my body's been a mess
And i've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie?
Verse 2
Did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale,
Did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it up for ya
Are you shopping' anywhere,

And did you have to pay the fine
you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy

New York
Verse 1-
New York City makes dreams come true
What a perfect place for my musical debut
I hear the city never sleeps it just keeps rolling on through
So on to Gotham City on a super jet plane I flew
Verse 2
Anticipation and uncertainty, try to get the best of me
This challenge I'm about to face is laced with millions just like me
Who travel from the ends of end to get to where I want to be
Putting all they've got onto one hot shot to prove themselves relentlessly
Pre-chorus-
Rewind, cause I can't focus on these trivial things
Gotta keep my mind in motion, take whatever it brings
Chorus-
Here I am in NYC, the capitol of the world
Far from my hometown Houston, far for this Texas girl
Here I am in Empire City
I'm on top of the world
New York, New York
New York
Verse 3-
Sure ain't pleasant Texas, no friendly passer-bys
Just stressed out suits stressing 'bout their push and go lives
No driving slow on Sunday Mornings or watching clouds go by
Just busy streets with crazy cabbies fighting over traffic lights
Verse 4-
You'd think a Texas Tornado was on a path of destruction
The way the public scurries home after the daily grind function
Some ease the tension with a PBR, the cheapest they make
Some drop mad cash on a bottle now that's extravagant taste
Pre Chorus

I've got the power
I've got the power
Like the crack of the whip, I Snap attack
Front to back, in this thing called rap
Dinging like a cymbal, rhyme devil on the heavenly level
Bang the bass, turn up the treble
Radical mind, day and night all the time
7-14, wise divine
Maniac brainiac, winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James
Quality I possess and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding
Copy written lyrics, so they can't be stolen
If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see
So peace, stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
I've got the power
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic

It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
It's getting, it's getting, it's gettin kinda hectic
Quality I possess, and say I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the mesh
Of the microphone, that I am holding

If they all Snap, don't need the police
To try to save them, your voice don't see

Intro- Em D Am Em D Am

You and I go hard, at each other
D Am
like we going to war
Em
You and I go rough, we keep

throwing things and slamming the

doors
Em
You and I get sore, then
D
dysfunctional we stuck keeping
Am
score
Em
You and I get sick, they all know
D Am
that we can't do this no more
(the chords repeat the same way)
But baby there you again, there you again making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now i'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you
So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that i'll only stay with you one more night
And I know i've said it a million times
But i'll only stay with you one more night
Trying to tell you no, but my body keeps on telling you yes
Trying to tell you stop, but your lipstick got me so out of breath
I'd be waking up, in the morning probably hating myself
And i'd be waking up, feeling sastified but guilty as hell
But baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now i'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you
So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that i'll only stay with you one more night
And I know i've said it a million times
But i'll only stay with you one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
But baby there you again, there you again making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that i'll only stay with you one more night
And I know i've said it a million times
But i'll only stay with you one more night
(yeah baby give me one more night)
So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that i'll only stay with you one more night
And I know i've said it a million times
But i'll only stay with you one more night

Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air

Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
So I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud

This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd

This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Ready to run

Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life
