[Verse 1] F# C# G#m B (8X)
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me /
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her /
Thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead /
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running /
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb /
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets /
You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus] F# B Cdim B (3X)
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
F# E B
Only shooting stars break the mold
[Verse 2] F# C# G#m B (4X)
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older /
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim /
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] F# C# G#m B (8X)
Somebody once asked, could I spare some change for gas
/I need to get myself away from this place /
I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself /
And we could all use a little change /
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running /
Didn't make sense not to live for fun Y
our brain gets smart but your head gets dumb /
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets /
You'll never know if you don't go, go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
[Chorus 3

[Verse 1]
C
Closed off from love I didn’t need the pain
Am
Once or twice was enough And it was all in vain
F G
Time starts to pass Before you know it you’re frozen
C
But something happened For the very first time with you
Am
My heart melted to the ground Found something true
F G
And everyone’s looking round Thinking I’m going crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
C
But I don’t care what they say I’m in love with you
Am
They try to pull me away But they don’t know the truth
F
My heart’s crippled by the vein That I keep on closing
G
You cut me open and I
[Chorus]
C
Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love
Am
I keep bleeding I keep, keep bleeding love
F
Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love
G
You cut me open
Continue playing the rest of the song with this pattern ... C - Am - F - G
[Verse 2]
Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling
But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
[Chorus]
C
Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love
Am
I keep bleeding I keep, keep bleeding love
F
Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love
G
You cut me open
[Bridge]
Am
And it’s draining all of me
F
Oh they find it hard to believe
G
I’ll be wearing these scars
F G
For everyone to see
Am
I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
F
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
G
My heart’s crippled by the vein
F G
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
[Chorus]
C
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
Am
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
F
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
G
You cut me open and I
[Chorus]

Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

We've got nothing to do
Let's cause a riot, raise some hell
Maybe we'll get on the news

Verse 1-
Em C G D
I was 18 years old

My country was at war so I went to war too
I'm proud of who I am
Defender of my land
Divided we fall united we stand
But what do we stand for?
But what do we stand for?
Chorus
Bridge- (Creep) 2X

Can't take my eyes off of you

Blame it all on my roots / I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
I toasted you
Said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me
Complain
[Chorus] A A Bm E A A A A7 Bm E A A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got friends
In low places
[Verse 2] A Bbdim7 Bm Bm E E7 A A A Bbdim7 Bm Dm E E7 E E7
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that Ivory tower That you're livin'in

But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy

Verse 1: G | G | Am | C D
You're sweet as a honeybee, but like a honeybee stings,
You've gone and left my heart in pain.
All you left is our favorite song, The one we danced to all night long.
It used to bring sweet memories, Of a tender love that used to be.
Chorus 1: G | D | Am | D C
Now it's the same old song,
But with a different meaning, since you been gone.
It's the same old song,
But with a different meaning, since you been gone.
Verse 2: G | G | Am | C D
Sentimental fool am I,
To hear an old love song and wanna cry.
But the melody keeps haunting me,
Re-minding me, how in love we used to be.
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our hearts,
Staying to-gether forever, darling, breaking up never.
Chorus 1: G | D | Am | D C
Verse 3: G | G | Am | C D
Precious memories keep a lingering on,
Every time I hear our favorite song.
Now you've gone, left this emptiness,
I only reminisce the happiness we spent.
We used to dance to the music, (dance to the music),
Make ro-mance to the music, (make ro-mance to the music).
Chorus 3:
Intro: G C G Hm Em Am D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time,
someone to call mine. My Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
How many heartaches must I stand,
before I find the love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:
Refrain:
Strophe: G G C G Bm Em Am D
Now love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting, oh 'til that say, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.
My Mama said:
Refrain:
[Verse 1] E E A E B A E E
There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
And I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do
And I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you

I'd take one step forward, end up two steps back

[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man

I'm ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
I wanna love some body, love somebody like you

You always had an eye for things that glitter
but I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
Takin' that new job in Tennessee
and I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me

When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cause leaving didn't hurt me near as badly

and yesterday I knew just what you wanted
when you came walking up to me with him
so I told you that I was happy for you
and given the chance I'd lie again
