Baby

Every time I go to sleep every time I come to bed
it seems you don't stop you want what's in my head
I see I don't mind but what did you say?
I'm trying to settle down you're prying me open
And oh it's OK
I don't mind no way
I don't say a thing
And I can't sleep
My baby doesn't understand x4
You took my hand and you got all my time
Get what you want just don't get out of line
You cannot sing but you can act
And I cannot think of one man you respect
All you want is your way
And I don't mind but no way
Are we the same
What you got what's your game?
My baby doesn't understand x4
*Instrumental break*
All I want is some rest
And I don't mind some stress
What you call a good night
I don't want no way
And I don't say what you want
And you don't care how I feel
And I don't mind when you cry
I can't sleep
My baby doesn't understand x8

Changing Us
04:02
|

I don't know where supposed to be I'm just working now
Living from week to week
I don't mind as long as I can eat
But every once in a while
I lose sleep
Pre chorus Eb Bb F Gm
I'm sick of doing the same old thing
I feel I'm wasting away yeah
Don't wanna give up on everything
Just wanna wake up
Just wanna sing
Cuz baby it's dangerous life keeps on changing us
But we keep on trying
But it's taking away from us
It's dangerous nothing is safe for us
You got to live the life that you're given
One day I thought about lying down in the street
Just to try it out
Put my trust at someone else's feet
But already there were people lying down
on the ground and shouting out
There no more room for you and me oh
They tell you be who you wanna be
But there's always people trying to take the lead
That's why there's no such thing as equality
Oh till we make it
Someone will take it
Cuz baby it's dangerous life keeps on changing us
We keep on trying but it's taking away from us
It's dangerous problems are facing us
And we all just wanna keep living
There's not enough for everyone
So grab it all your day will come
Just wait your turn who's number one
Will soon be dead and overrun
Just stick to work and not much play
Save your strength for another day
Its not about choice it's all down to luck
So in the end Who gives a fuck!?

You've got time left to live
You've got time left to give
All work and no compromise
Look at this world we living in
And if you start to think you should leave
Take a second thought and come talk to me
It's not about your problems or (harm.) money
It ain't about what u believe
Gm F lead-in
Eb Bb F Gm
And I don't want to say that I know
But if it helps to let go o o
It's not that hard to wait
Eb Bb F (Gm F Ebm walk down)
When you've got nothing but time
It's been a few weeks since I heard
you're gone and you'll never return
Into what demon have u turned
Did u learn all that you could learn
And I don't want to stay alone
Just pushing away what I don't know
I'll find my heart someday
Cuz I've got nothing but time
Gm F# Bb/F C/E Eb D G C F7
Take your time keep living
There's nothing more to understand.
If you find out that you're leaving
Forgive it all I'll take your hand
(Walk up on Hand harm. with layers and 7th)
It's not easy letting go
feelings from so long ago
And if I could see you I'd let you know
That i thank you.

Suspension
03:45

You got to make it
You got to be strong
You got to take it
This is where you belong
This is your moment
This is what you’ve put off for much too long
Tell your doubtful feelings they're wrong...
Suspend believing
Your purpose in life is not yet done
Shelve your doubts and carry on
You've got this feeling
Take a look at your life this can't go on
Tell yourself it won't be long
And if that’s all wrong
I’ll be glad it’s over
You’ve got to do this
It’s only your body and your mind
You’ve got to prove it
Leave your shadows behind
(You've got to) change with the moment
Just because you're awake don't mean you're alive
No guarantees that you’ll survive survive survive
And if that’s all wrong
I’ll be glad it’s over
No matter what you think you do
running from life is over

I Have Secrets
03:17
|
|||
Losing patience out of nowhere I can't see you anymore
Keeping secrets selfish feelings I don't know you anymore
I don't need this
I just don't feel it
If you can't see it
No use believing in me
Through these ages 20 something's I've grown tired of it all
Stop your crying You barely know me
My hearts surrounded by wall
I have secrets
Wounds and regrets
That keep me sleepless
Please don't fix this for me
Through the winters You kept me closest
Thought I noticed that you cared
Warm and tender Heart beats racing
But words I didn't think to share
My conclusions
You see straight through them
So much confusion
I'm not your student
Fear and waiting
You're not worth saving
So you can’t hate me
But I'm not staying anymore
instr
I'm not going to die under a rock
I thought that I’d found my loving spark
I'm not going to say that I've been wronged
If you're going to keep me holding on
instr big
Just want to say what I got to say
You drove the car but I led the way
Night after night day after day
Taking my heart and walking away

I'm Going to Space
02:44
|

I’m going to space
I’m leaving the ground
I’ve gotta get up
Cuz i’ve been so down
Gotta blast off
You won’t see me around
I’m going to Mars
I’ll write you a card
It might get hard
Light only goes so far
Don’t wanna give up
I’m gonna get my heart to you
MASH
Don’t wanna die here alone
It smells like gunpowder
Am i some sacrifice (怒)
I can’t live without her
I’m going to space
baby I gotta go
Don’t slow me down
My altitude’s low
It’s been too long
wondering what I did wrong
And i won’t hesitate
I won’t write another song
No I won’t sing no other song

Mother's Grave
02:07

Baby your kisses feel less true
And even your eyes they seem less blue.
All of the things you've done to me
Make me right turn around and say
I don't think you're in love with me
I don't think I'm in love with you
And even tho I can get you there
It seems that sometimes you just don't care
If anyone else was in my shoes
They'd turn around and leave
Look at what you have done to me
Baby I think I'm over you
Hearing this song I know it's true
I'm no longer in that sad old place
I will move on to better days
Baby the world is such a place
In every person every face
are all of the things you'll never do
It is my eyes your seeing through.
And if anybody else was ever in my place
They'll swear it on your mothers grave
If anybody else was ever in my place
Don't you speak your mind
Like your mother said
Don't you say a word
Don't you speak your mind
Like your brother said
Don't you say a word

Tequila
03:25
|
|||
I don't want to eat because I know I won't be working
I don't want to sleep because I know it won't be worth it
I don't want to go on knowing that I'll never be known as king
I don't want to drink because I'm stoned
I don't want to wait till I'm sober
I don't want to wake up because I know I'm going to be at home
Maybe I'm just crazy and I know OOOHS
It just takes sometime to answer to yourself
I thought I'd be so different growing old (guitar lick)
it takes some time to wake up
it takes guts to cry for help
Higher than high
Farther than far my girl
I'll see you today lest my sanity dies
I guess I'll see you before I die
Tease break
So I'm gonna buy me a cheap tequila
I'm going to smear my face with make up
And I'm gonna wear everything I own till I feel myself
I've heard enough about you
I've heard enough about me
So we're going to party party party
Yeah rest is for the week yet we might as well
Maybe we're just crazy but it shows (OOHS)
It just takes some time to find yourself a friend
Sorry but I'm gonna let you know (guitar)
Did you take some time to notice
It's pointless in the end
Higher than high
Farther than far my girl
I'll see you today lest my sanity dies
I guess I'll see you before I die
BIG BREAK
(Quiet)
Higher than high
Farther than far my girl
I'll see you today lest my sanity dies
I guess I'll see you some other time
