5 songs and artists that I admire

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N - Noah and the Whale (guitar)

[Intro]
D  G  A  G

[Verse 1]
D                      
Lisa likes brandy and the way it hits her lips,
        D                        
She's a rock 'n' roll survivor with pendulum hips,
          G          
She's got deep brown eyes,
                D        
That've seen it all.

D                            
Working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue
    D                               
The bar men used to call her "Little Lisa, Looney Tunes"
 G   
She went down,
               D
on almost anyone.

         Em                         G 
From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days,
              Em                               A
From when her hair went sweet blonde 'til the day it turned grey

She said;

[Chorus]
D           G
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
       A                       G
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
           D               G              A     G
You've got heart, and your going your own way.
D           G
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
         A                   G
What you don't have now will come back again
           D               G              A     G
You've got heart, and your going your own way.

[Link] - D - G - A - G

[Verse 2]
     D                              
Some people wear their history like a map on their face,
     D                  
And Joey was an artist just living out of case,
        G                             D
But his best work, were his letters home.

    D                              
His standard works of fiction about imaginary success,
    D                          
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends,
          G                          D
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal.

         Em                       G
From the hard time living to the sleepless nights,
        Em                            A
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights

He'd say;

[Chorus]
D           G
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
       A                       G
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
           D               G              A     G
You've got heart, and your going your own way.
D           G
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
         A                   G
What you don't have now will come back again
           D               G              A     G
You've got heart, and your going your own way.

[Bridge]
      Bm            G              D           A
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
     D              G       Bm           A
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
      Bm            G           D          A
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
   D         G            D            A
To have no regrets and be done with my life

[Chorus]
D           G
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
       A                       G
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
           D               G              A     G
You've got heart, and your going your own way.
D           G
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
         A                   G
What you don't have now will come back again
           D               G              A     G
You've got heart, and your going your own way.



Suicide - James Arthur (piano)
[Intro:]
One, two, ready
Here we go

[Verse:]
G              D
It ain't the gun
           Am
It's the man behind the trigger
        Cm
Gets blood on his fingers
       G
And runs
                D
It ain't the lie
           Am                            Cm
It's the way that the truth is denied

[Pre-Chorus:]
      Cm
But if there is one thing that I'm guilty of
     D
It's loving and giving when you take too much
   F
If somebody asked how we died
D
Please look them straight in the eye

[Chorus:]
           G     D
Call it suicide
          Am
Don't fabricate
       Cm
Just tell them babe
          G       D
It was suicide
          Am
Don't sugarcoat it
       Cm
Just let them know

[Verse:]
G              D
It ain't the knife
           Am
It's the way that you use it
Cm                             G
How you abuse it in fights
                          D
It ain't about the life
       Am
You feel you were given
     Cm
As long as you're living it right

[Pre-Chorus:]
      Cm
But if there is one thing that I'm guilty of
     D
It's loving and giving when you take too much
   F
If somebody asked how we died
D
Oh, you look them straight in the eye

[Chorus:]
           G     D
Call it suicide
          Am
Don't fabricate
       Cm
Just tell them babe
          G       D
It was suicide
          Am
Don't sugarcoat it
       Cm
Just let them know

[Bridge:]
                   F
You've been killing me softly
                                        G
And finally the pain is too much
             F
And I'm all out of whisky
                                                Cm
To soak up the damage you've done

              Bb
If there's anything I'm guilty of

It's loving you too much
    D
If anybody asks how we died

[Chorus x2:]
           G     D
Call it suicide
          Am
Don't fabricate
       Cm
Just tell them babe
          G       D
It was suicide
          Am
Don't sugarcoat it
       Cm
Just let them know

G        D         Am
          Oh baby
Cm
Just let them know
Just...

Verse:

Cmaj7    Cm       G                                   Cmaj7
 Often I am upset that I cannot fall in love but I guess 
                  Cm                       G
This avoids the stress of falling out of it 
Cmaj7        Cm         G                                      Cmaj7
 Are you tired of me yet? I'm a little sick right now but I swear 
               Cm                          G
When I'm ready I will fly us out of here 

Chorus:
 Em  C G
 Ooo oo oo, I'll cut my hair 
 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo, To make you stare 
 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo I'll hide my chest 
           Em                        Cm           G
 And I'll figure out a way to get us out of here 

 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo   x4

Verse:
Cmaj7              Cm        G                                           Cmaj7
 Turn off your porcelain face, I can't really think right now and this place 
               Cm                       G
 Has too many colours enough to drive all of us insane 
           Cmaj7      Cm                 G
 Are you dead? Sometimes I think I'm dead 
                                                 Cmaj7
 Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head 
                   Cm                G
 But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet 

Chorus:
 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo My eyes went dark 
 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo I don't know where 
 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo, My pupils are 
            Em                      Cm           G
 But I'll figure out a way to get us out of here 

Bridge:
Em                       
 Get a load of this monster 
A
 He doesn't know how to communicate 
C                              
His mind is in a different place 
 G                                Bm7
Will everybody please give him a little bit of space
Em 
 Get a load of this train wreck                               
A                                              C
    
    
    

    
            
 His hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet 
                Cmaj7
 But little do we know, the stars 
                   G
 Welcome him with open arms 

Chorus:
 Em  C  G 
 Ooo oo oo, Time is 
 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo, Slowly 
 Em  C  G
 Ooo oo oo, Tracing his face 
       Em         Cm                      G
 But strangely he feels at home in this place

If we had each other- Alec Benjamin(guitar)
[Verse 1] 
       Am
She was 19 with a baby on the way
        G
On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
          Em
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
         F                                                    G
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
     Am                                               G
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

And when she'd turn on the light
           Em
She would sit down at the table

Tell herself that it's alright
         F                                              G
She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
     Am               G
She'd never be alone
                       Em
Have someone to hold

And when nights were cold
F
She'd say


[Chorus]
               Am
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
           G
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Em
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           F
You should know I'll be there for you
           G         Am
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
            G
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
                Em
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           F                            G
You should know I'll be there for you


[Verse 2]
         Am                                        G
They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
         Em
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
           F                                                    G
And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
Am
With each other, and though some times were hard
     G
Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
         Em
No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
          F                                            G
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
Am              G                            Em
Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met
 F
They say


[Chorus]
               Am
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
           G
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Em
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
           F
You should know I'll be there for you
           G         Am
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
            G
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
                Em
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
           F
You should know I'll be there for you


[Bridge]
Am   G    Em
Oh  Ooh OOoh
           F                          G
You should know I'll be there for you


[Verse 3]
   Am
I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
       G
I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
       Em
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
     F                                                G
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
  Am
I know she'd never leave me

And I hate to see her cry
      G
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
  Em
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
  F
I wrote this verse to tell her that


[Chorus]
                Am
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
          G
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Em
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
          F
You should know I'll be there for you
       G             Am
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
           G
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               Em
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
           F                         G
You should know I'll be there for you


[Outro]
Am  G   Em
Oh Ooh Oooh
           F                         G  Am
You should know I'll be there for you

(I listen to a lot of guitar base songs but I can't play the guitar that 
well, I can learn chords on the piano quickly and play it quite well, 
kind of the same with the ukulele, I can learn the chords quickly but 
playing it can be difficult)
