Chasing Cars – Snow Patrol

A		 E	   D	               A
We'll do it all, everything, on our own.
A    	         E	    D             A
We don't need anything, or anyone.

    A			  E
If I lay here, if I just lay here
		     D			                     A
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

A                  E	             D                A
I don't quite know how to say how I feel
A		       E		    D		           A
Those three words, I said too much, but not enough.

    A			  E
If I lay here, if I just lay here
		     D			               A
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
A					               E
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
	          D				      A
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

A  		    E	            D		           A
Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.
A		     E	               D		    A
I need your grace to remind me, to find my own.

    A			  E
If I lay here, if I just lay here
		     D			               A
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
A					               E
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
	          D				      A
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

A			    E
All that I am, all that I ever was
			        D			      A
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
A				                   E
I don't know where, confused about how as well
			         D				         A
just know that these things will never change for us at all.

    A			  E
If I lay here, if I just lay here
		     D			               A
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

Leaving on a Jet Plane – John Denver

         G                          C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
        G                       C
I'm standing here outside your door
     G                     C                  D
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
              G                       C
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
       G                       C
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
     G              C                       D
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

Chorus:
      G                C               G                      C
So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me
  G                        C              D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
                G      C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
    G                    C                  G
Don't know when I'll be back again
        C                  D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....

         G                          C
There's so many times I've let you down
        G                       C
So many times I've played around
     G                     C                  D
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
              G                       C
Every place I go, I'll think of you
       G                       C
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
     G              C                       D
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring

Chorus:
      G                C               G                      C
So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me
  G                        C              D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
                G      C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
    G                    C                  G
Don't know when I'll be back again
        C                  D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....

         G                          C
Now the time has come to leave you
        G                       C
One more time, let me kiss you
     G                     C                  D
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
              G                       C
Dream about the days to come
       G                       C
When I won't have to leave alone
     G              C                       D
About the times I won't have to say

Chorus:
      G                C               G                      C
So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me
  G                        C              D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
                G      C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
    G                    C                  G
Don't know when I'll be back again
        C                  D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....

                G      C

A Waltz for a Night

I’ve encountered this song from the movie: Before Sunset. In the movie, this song is written by Julie Delpy’s character for Ethan Hawke’s character. It’s simple but romantic. Here’s the tab for the song and below is the lyrics along with a youtube video of the scene where it’s played courtesy of grbomr. You can try to listen and view how she plays and practice by playing along with her to help you learn the song (that’s what I did).

Lyrics

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand

You were for me that night

Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you’re gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing

But you were much more to me
Just so you know
I don’t care what they say
I know what you meant for me that day

I just wanted another try

I just wanted another night

Even if it doesn’t seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I’ve met before

One single night with you little Jesse

Is worth a thousand with anybody
I have no bitterness, my sweet
I’ll never forget this one night thing

Even tomorrow, another arms

My heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand

Girls Just Want To Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper Cover) – Greg Laswell

I first heard this song in the show Damages and just fell in love with it. It’s sad and beautiful. A guy’s perspective is revealed through the song giving it a refreshing point-of-view. Here’s a link if you want to hear it c/o CaptainObvious: http://hypem.com/track/520079

Lyrics:

I came home in the middle of the night
My father says what you gonna do with your life?
Well, daddy dear, you’re still number one
Oh, girls, they wanna have fun

Oh, girls they…

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Well, mother dear, we’re not the fortunate ones
Oh, girls, they wanna have fun

Oh, girls they…

That’s all they really want
Those girls, they wanna have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
Only hide her away from the rest of the world
Well, not me, I wanna be the one in the sun
Girls, they wanna have fun

Oh, girls they…

That’s all they really want
Those girls, they wanna have fun

I Still Havent Found What Im Looking For – U2

I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
But yes I’m still running.
You broke the bonds
You loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame
And my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for

Waters of March (English Version) by Tom Jobim

Waters of March

A stick, a stone,
It’s the end of the road,
It’s the rest of a stump,
It’s a little alone

It’s a sliver of glass,
It is life, it’s the sun,
It is night, it is death,
It’s a trap, it’s a gun

The oak when it blooms,
A fox in the brush,
A knot in the wood,
The song of a thrush

The wood of the wind,
A cliff, a fall,
A scratch, a lump,
It is nothing at all

It’s the wind blowing free,
It’s the end of the slope,
It’s a beam, it’s a void,
It’s a hunch, it’s a hope

And the river bank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the end of the strain,
The joy in your heart

The foot, the ground,
The flesh and the bone,
The beat of the road,
A slingshot’s stone

A fish, a flash,
A silvery glow,
A fight, a bet,
The range of a bow

The bed of the well,
The end of the line,
The dismay in the face,
It’s a loss, it’s a find

A spear, a spike,
A point, a nail,
A drip, a drop,
The end of the tale

A truckload of bricks
in the soft morning light,
The shot of a gun
in the dead of the night

A mile, a must,
A thrust, a bump,
It’s a girl, it’s a rhyme,
It’s a cold, it’s the mumps

The plan of the house,
The body in bed,
And the car that got stuck,
It’s the mud, it’s the mud

Afloat, adrift,
A flight, a wing,
A hawk, a quail,
The promise of spring

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the promise of life
It’s the joy in your heart

A stick, a stone,
It’s the end of the road
It’s the rest of a stump,
It’s a little alone

A snake, a stick,
It is John, it is Joe,
It’s a thorn in your hand
and a cut in your toe

A point, a grain,
A bee, a bite,
A blink, a buzzard,
A sudden stroke of night

A pin, a needle,
A sting, a pain,
A snail, a riddle,
A wasp, a stain

A pass in the mountains,
A horse and a mule,
In the distance the shelves
rode three shadows of blue

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the promise of life
in your heart, in your heart

A stick, a stone,
The end of the road,
The rest of a stump,
A lonesome road

A sliver of glass,
A life, the sun,
A knife, a death,
The end of the run

And the riverbank talks
of the waters of March,
It’s the end of all strain,
It’s the joy in your heart.

Águas de Março by Tom Jobim

Águas de Março “É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho É um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho É um caco de vidro, é a vida, é o sol É a noite, é a morte, é o laço, é o anzol É peroba do campo, é o nó da madeira Caingá candeia, é o matita-pereira É madeira de vento, tombo da ribanceira É o mistério profundo, é o queira ou não queira É o vento ventando, é o fim da ladeira É a viga, é o vão, festa da cumeeira É a chuva chovendo, é conversa ribeira Das águas de março, é o fim da canseira É o pé, é o chão, é a marcha estradeira Passarinho na mão, pedra de atiradeira É uma ave no céu, é uma ave no chão É um regato, é uma fonte, é um pedaço de pão É o fundo do poço, é o fim do caminho No rosto o desgosto, é um pouco sozinho É um estrepe, é um prego, é uma ponta, é um ponto É um pingo pingando, é uma conta, é um conto É um peixe, é um gesto, é uma prata brilhando É a luz da manhã, é o tijolo chegando É a lenha, é o dia, é o fim da picada É a garrafa de cana, o estilhaço na estrada É o projeto da casa, é o corpo na cama É o carro enguiçado, é a lama, é a lama É um passo, é uma ponte, é um sapo, é uma rã É um resto de mato, na luz da manhã São as águas de março fechando o verão É a promessa de vida no teu coração É uma cobra, é um pau, é João, é José É um espinho na mão, é um corte no pé São as águas de março fechando o verão É a promessa de vida no teu coração É pau, é pedra, é o fim do caminho É um resto de toco, é um pouco sozinho É um passo, é uma ponte, é um sapo, é uma rã É um belo horizonte, é uma febre terçã São as águas de março fechando o verão É a promessa de vida no teu coração”
