I'm Yours - Jason Mraz


      C
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it.
  G
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted.
  Am                                     F
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back.
                  C
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest,
    G
And nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention,
  Am                           F
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some.

C         G
I wont hesitate,
            Am
No more, no more,
           F                 C  G  Am  F
It can not wait. I'm yours.

C                                   G
Well open up your mind and see like me,
                                   Am
Open up your plans and damn you're free,
                                     F
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love.
C                                                  G
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with  me,
Am
All a peaceful melody,
                                     F                       D
And it's our godforsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved.

    C            G
So, I won't hesitate,
            Am
No more, no more,
          F
It cannot wait I'm sure.
C                G                 Am
No need to complicate our time is short,
            F
This is our fate, I'm yours.

C  G  Am  G  F  D

          C
I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror,
    G
And bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer,
       Am                                  F
But my breath fogged up the glass and so I drew a new face and I laughed.
  C
I guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason,
   G
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons,
     Am                     F
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue.

Joanna - Little Comets

Here's a song by my friends, Little Comets. x

Dm    Em C
Change my  socks 
            Dm  Em    Am               
Just like I changed the letters
Dm   Em      C                   
Girls with three syllable names
    Dm  Em Am               
Are often so easy to  shame,
Em Am Dm            
Turn my keys in the lock
Em  Am      F      
Preferring to leave her in shock
   Fm              C
So I don’t have to explain.

Verse
 
C                    Dm    
Joanna Joanna Joanna Joanna,
Am                                  F
It's the morning, the morning and it still doesn't feel right,
C                    Dm    
Joanna Joanna Joanna Joanna
Am                                  F
It's the morning, the morning and it still doesn't feel right,

Bridge

Am     F              C
Joanna, Joanna take me home,
Am     F              C
Joanna, Joanna take me home,

[Same as Intro]
Her waking bones,
Bring a new dilemma,
I'm standing with shoelaces tied,
And all my intentions implied,
My cheeks are reddening quick,
So she brings her fingers to lips,
So I don't have to explain,

[Same as Verse]
Joanna, Joanna,
Joanna Joanna Joanna Joanna,
It's the morning, the morning and it still doesn't feel right,
Joanna Joanna Joanna Joanna
It's the morning, the morning and it still doesn't feel right,

[Same as Bridge]
Joanna, Joanna take me home,
Joanna, Joanna take me home,

Chorus 

Am                   F
Strangle me with your words,
Am                   F
Twist and turn like a chinese burn,
Am                F
Cover me with your lines,
Am          
A thousand promises,
  F         Em       F        
I only ever wanted one,

[Same as Bridge]
Joanna,
Joanna take me home,
Joanna,
Joanna take me home,
Joanna,
Joanna take me home,
Joanna,
Joanna take me home,

Neopolitan Dreams - Lisa Mitchell


C E7 Am F (x2)

C                   E7
You go on, I'll be okay
                      Am7
I can dream the rest away
                     F
It's just a little touch of fate
            C
It will be okay
                            E7
It sure takes its precious time
                               Am F
But it's got rights and so have I
C                         E7
I turn my head up to the sky
                          Am7 F
I focus one thought at a time
                           F
I do not let the little thieves
                            C
Under my tightly buttoned sleeves
                  E7
You couldn't be alone, the time
                          A7
I feel like I am walking blind
                          F
I have nowhere I'll have time
                           C E7 F
There are no legible signs
                           C E7 F
There are no legible signs

C E7 Am7 F (x2)

C                        E7
I like the way that you talk
                         Am7
I like the way that you walk
                       F                  C
It's hard to recreate such an individual game
                            E7
You wait your turn in the queue
                               Am7
You say your sorrys and thank yous
                             F                          
I don't think you're ever a hundred percent in the room

C E7 F
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room

C                        E7
Deepest of the darkest nights
                         Am7
Here lies the highest of highs
                       F                 C
Neapolitan dreams stretching out to the sea
                            E7
You wait your turn in the queue
                               Am7
You say your sorrys and thank yous
                             F                          
I don't think you're ever a hundred percent in the room

C E7 F
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room
                       C E7 F
You're not in the room

You Always Hurt The One You Love - Ryan Gosling (from Blue Valentine)


(Allan Roberts and Doris Fisher)



C             Cmaj7                 C6 
You always hurt the one you love,
         C                                     F Fsus2 F 
The one you shouldn't hurt at all. 
F                      G7 
You always take the sweetest rose,
                                               C 
And crush it till the petals fall.

C               Cmaj7 F 
You always break the kindest heart,
               D7                         G7 
With a hasty word you can't recall.
 C                 Cmaj7 
And if I broke your heart last night,
            D7    G7                           C G7C 
It's because I love you most of all.

Castle On A Cloud - Les Misérables

music by Claude-Michel Schönberg

Am  F  E  Am

Am         E  F   Dm  E  Am
There is a castle on  a  cloud
Am        G              C
I like to go there in my sleep
Dm         C/E        E  E+  F
Aren't any floors for me to  sweep
Dm        E           Am
Not in my castle on a cloud
Am         E    F      Dm   E  Am
There is a room that's full of toys
Am        G                C
There are hundred girls and boys
Dm     C/E       E     E+  F
Nobody shouts or talks too loud
Dm        E           Am
Not in my castle on a cloud

F               C
There is a lady all in white
F                    C
Holds me and sings a lullaby
      Bb                    F
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch
    E  
She says, Cosette, I love you very much
Am       E     F     Dm  E     Am
I know a place where no  one's lost
Am       G                  C
I know a place where no one cries
Dm        C/E    E   E+ F
Crying at all is not al-lowed
Dm        E           Am
Not in my castle on a cloud
