Paris 04:12
lyrics

C G Spent a long time feeling bad Dm Am Cried it out in your arms, man so damn pathetic Feeling scared, feeling mad That this big old world just didn’t get it Dm Now I’m wondering what you gonna say G7 I’ll get out of the way F C Let’s go to Paris in the spring I can work, you can write, busk and sing F C I’ve never been there before C C/B Am I’m gonna enter the draw F G C A trip for two, baby just me and you Saw this somewhere on the net What do you say, if I win? $3000 we could spend You come with me and jump right in Dm Nothing standing in our way G7 We both need a break and she says: [Chorus] Bb But we never win these competitions F So I’m going to make it my mission Dm G To dig myself out of this hole I’m buried in Bb Bon Voyage, say goodbye F We’re going to miss that flight C G And make our own Paris F Someplace else

Almost Guilty 03:45
lyrics

C F I spend too much time playing video games I spend too much time watching the rain Dm C I spend too much time Driving around I spend too much time immersed in sound G F I’m almost guilty of not being there I’m almost guilty of I don’t care C What you do I spend too much time staring off into the distance I spend too much time channelling my resistance I spend too much time chasing my memories I spend too much time putting my mind at ease [chorus] Am Em When I think of my life and all that’s happened to you When the doctors said she was gone at that moment we were through F It was not the fights and the sleepless nights Am G F Am G F C But the space between the words, between the evening and my girl and me [Chorus]

Trash Heap Woman 03:41

Trash heap woman I came rolling into town I didn’t see it coming her smile was just an upside down frown Then my trash heap woman trashed my world and turned it down Trash heap woman I run my fingers through your hair Oh trash heap woman you just leave shit everywhere Trash heap woman don’t’ you turn this home into your lair I got a trash heap woman I run my fingers down your spine Oh, trash heap woman I tell you I’m feeling fine But my trash heap woman I curse the day I made you mine Trash heap woman will turn your world into despair Trash heap woman will leave you gasping for fresh air Trash heap woman everyman best beware Trash heap woman I can’t even wash my clothes Trash heap woman will always burn the toast Trash heap woman will always bring you a wrong one of those Trash heap woman you made me so damn sick Trash heap woman I thought you were so fit Now my trash heap woman how many knives in my back can you stick Trash heap woman rode away one day Trash heap woman I was confused is the least I could say Oh I see now, it was a dream there you are, hey, hey, hey

Hey Jon 04:25

Bb6 C Am Bb6 Stay strong, don’t let them walk all over you Bb6 C F/A Bang a drum, and never quit These words seemed so easy to say and to believe in Bb6 C Dm But now, it’s been 20 years today F Bb F Hey Jon, maybe it’s time to admit you’re wrong F C F It’s been a long time coming and we’re out of luck I believe in all these words you say to me But right now I feel like giving up I learned all the quotes by heart on how to live your dreams Understood all the wisdom of success I was so motivated, inspired from the books Just never worked out for me I guess [chorus] Bridge A7 Dm It’s not fair that I can’t afford to pay my rent It’s not fair, your words feel so permanent C Bb F Did they make you an offer you couldn’t refuse? C Bb Most of us always lose [Chorus]

Sea Around Her 04:13
lyrics

This was my old place where I would Hide myself away Behind the curtains with you we would Lie beneath the light of day I remember all the things that you Said that we should be Well the years have passed now nothing left but Faded memories And there she stands Wearing the sea around her In the sunlight The blue and green surround her All in a memory Warm like a summer breeze I remember the nights the parties We’d dance until the dawn When the red wine was flowing We’d never make it home It seems we left those times Now what we do is from nine to five Transformed into photographs They some how form part of our lives And there she stands Wearing the sea around her In the sunlight The blue and green surround her All in a memory Fading like a summer breeze So tell me baby, Are you happy with where you are? Because this train won’t stop Now that we’ve come this far On and on the days go by There’s my best friend disappearing Well, you don’t seem the same And I won’t fight back to get Those old feelings any more I remember all the things that you Said that we should be Well the years have passed now nothing left but All these memories There she stands Wearing the sea around her In the sunlight The blue and green surround her All in a memory Warm like a summer breeze All in a memory Fading just like that summer breeze

Forever 03:39
lyrics

D Bm Look at me I’m 23 full of hopes and dreams and I’m in love with you D Bm A In this card, you wrote to me, with a note that reads, I love you forever A No one can explain the happiness I feel right now Let’s take a walk down to the rocks above the beach like all the lovers do I can’t believe this clichéd dream is my reality, just look at you baby Can’t you see how beautiful you are right now? G D In two years time we’d be gone and out of each others minds How do you know? How do you know my friend? She said forever and I can’t see her Bm Ever coming back to me A G D Nobody knows when forever’s gonna come to an end I’m 38 we sealed the day I signed away my love for you We dream away, the sunny days, all the love we share, together forever No one can explain the joy I feel right now I count on you, you count on me, we’re a team, until the day we die I go to work, you stay at home, with our new born child, oh baby girl Nothing can tear away what we have right now [Chorus] I’m 55 you’re still alive I love you so my Mom and Dad I can’t believe the things we’ve seen growing up through life together My kids can’t wait to see you both real soon Families fall and I walked tall through the darkest times when you lost a son I want to say how much you mean but can’t find the words, don’t leave us ever You’ve been there for every stage of my life G D In two years time you’d be gone and I’ll be losing my mind How do you know? How do you know my friend? Ma, you said forever but now I see you’re never coming back to me Nobody knows when forever’s gonna come to an end Nobody knows when forever’s gonna come to an end

Csus4 – C C G F C Hey you’re late and you forgot your notes Dm G Well that’s ok, I don’t mind You say it’s your Dad’s birthday and you miss him So if there’s a song we could find Let’s go through your playlist Try make your day shift From bad to bright So you didn’t do the task we did last week That’s ok, I don’t mind Am C Some days are harder to fight for F Dm To get where you want to be Am C Some days you lose too many fights F G G-F I can see that’s how you feel C I don’t mind G F Dm G If you’re overdramatic and didn’t get any sleep C I don’t mind G F Dm Am That last text of his you might not want to keep C I don’t mind G F Dm Am The dreams under your skin are pulling you in C F Cause the last time that I saw you G You felt beautiful G F Csus4 - C Soon you’ll be beautiful again You pick up your bags and head out the door That’s ok, I don’t mind If you need some space to be by yourself Go ahead, take your time It’s all different now, we’ve got kids and house I pay the bills and the fines You say you never figured out who you are And you’ve found her now That’s ok, I don’t mind Prechorus Chorus G Am Here take my keys, stay out late, use my help, forget me, F Use my room, don’t go to work, don’t go to school, change the times, G Sing these songs, don’t’ eat nothing you want, start a new I don’t mind If you’re over-sarcastic and didn’t get any sleep I don’t mind That last text of his you might want to delete I don’t mind G F Dm Am And the dreams under your skin are pulling you in C F Cause the last time that I saw you G You felt beautiful G F Csus4 - C Soon you’ll be beautiful again

Something I Lost 03:26
lyrics

Cm7 Tell me where do I start In this mess that’s now my life? Bb Wasn’t I just a kid skating down the street Cm7 Couldn’t someone catch me Right there between the eyes Bb Plant a chip in my head for the future Ab Cm7 For it’s gonna tell me of the games I played Bb Revolutions in my mind Ab Cm7 And I can always visit for the rest of my life Bb When I’m searching for something I lost Eb Something I lost Dm7b5 It isn’t love it isn’t fear Cm Bb God knows I got plenty of that right here How long before it’s understood If it’s ever found it would feel so good So good It’s so hard to describe Now that I put my mind to it I might begin by saying what it’s not It’s not the clichéd sweet words On a valentine card Not the sickly sweet holding of hands It’s not the bitter face of a drained out soul Victimised by selfishness and rage It’s not the necklace The gift that you never wore once But I know it’s hiding in there some place [chorus] Fm Bb Remember when the stars aligned it felt like nothing could get me down Fm Bb There’s a magic in this world that we need to keep spinning around So it doesn’t get….lost [chorus]
