All I Know 01:46
D, A, E All i know is that i hold love close Why am i letting these things get to me Whats an occasion if were doing the same old thing? All i really got is this settled past rhythm Im showing myself, but at least im humble These parrell visions got me feeling like im in a sitcom And if im just a selfish fourth kind of jesus Praising my god as i sin myself dead I really do appreciate a lie without a reason If it lets me into the shadow of a person Cause all that im really craving Is this love im receprcating But you know love is a unique thing And there aint no one like u Oh were all jsut talking within the wind U know you got that look that i cant resist All u really need to do is ask And we can let the love perhaps All of this is just a little to reeal Expectations are taking a little to real There starting to take their toll their toll I just want to be on the road Knowing i can come and goooo some things will never change Im still doing the same old things Thats okay i really cant complain

C,G, am,E, F, C, F, G The happier i get the harder this all gets each breath a stab in my chest each thought soldiering me along Im Pretending for today laughing at the pain that bleeding away In my body, and in my mind, im feeling myself slowly die The sadder that this all seems I naturally seeing the beauty of a beast I have only caught a glimpse Before i lived within this moment You know this world is more than I understand but it doest really bother me As long as i have a you and a I These things never seemed more alright Give it time the colors creep and bring The black and white never ever so sweet You'll be gone again pretending Wheres the reason why your singing? You know im starting to realize The closer i feel to dying The more i really am alive They say we all just starts Made from the universe If you believe your gonna be alright Well you know, you just may be And if your not What is life but a one shot opportunity The happier i get the harder this all gets each breath a stab in my chest each thought shouldering you along Im Pretending for today laughing at the pain that bleeding away In your body, and in you mind, im feeling myself slowly die The sadder that this all seems you naturally seeing the beauty of a beast you only really caught a glimpse Before you lived within the moment

You know i kindly take advice, rather than giving my own I blindly trust in others, even though I'm an old soul Givin to the feelin that you know is within Where im going? How I've been and why did it happen The sex i now get is very different When i with my reason why, love can not be disguised To all the lovely friends that i could not meet Ill sing and be what you mean to me You Know how (optional) Lucky you are, to end with an I love you You know how Amazing it is, coming back home to you Sometimes im staying, sometimes im going I like the idea of not knowing Something things are meant to be said out loud Some things will always get ya down But you know how Lucky you are, to end with an I love you You know how Amazing it is, coming back home to you You know its sounds crazy but i really do love you Even if ive yet to meet you The answer is right here isnt it clear Sing it one more time before we disappear x2 You Know how (optional) Lucky you are, to end with an I love you You know how Amazing it is, coming back home to you

I miss 01:42
Deep G Surrounded by second chords, G the type chords Im tired of the ordinary Ive seen days just like this I sit and think of the moments Were i forgot i existed I miss not having a care in the world I miss seeing the beauty of a girl in the objects of the world I miss how it all went so slow I miss not missing how yesterday was I miss the open road to the soul I miss being happy with myself I miss being unprepared Its how i learned the most Oh how i feel old I miss the morning mists, and the sunrises too I miss staying up all night till dawn shown through I miss knowing i may just die happy I miss knowing ill keep a moment forever with me I miss being as opposed to living I miss making love to the sea I miss ambitiously leaving without reason and Coming back just a little different But most of all i miss the moments in which I Realized I was still blind up just what is life is And all these days i miss Look similar to this

I promise 01:37
Cap 6 d a e a I promise I'll come can't control the road I promise I'll try with little hope I promise I'll miss every bit If this feels long imagine a world without it I promise I'll miss like we talked I promise without you I'll feel a little bit lost So I'll swear to a future even though I'm not sure Better than being speechless and filled with tears I promise to see you in your own way I promise I'll teasily look away I promise I'll change but stay the same And try to be a little more sexy I promise I'll keep you in mind Even if I'm creepin into another's life I promise next time won't have an end I promise honestly with it a fib I promise we'll be back just look at now Not to closely I'm one sad clown I promise I'll write you everyday I promise to promise my life away I promise to promise I'll mean it everyone time I Swear it with my pinky your the love of my life ill promise youll whole family if thats what make you happy ill promise to the bitter end you and i forever like cement

How? 02:17
C, G, Am, B7, C G7 A# F7 How How could you leave without saying a word Another year gone oh never before Another time with me forever Childhood memoirs I adore your honesty Yet question your false peace This seems to be The reason why This aint worth a try I understand the need to pretend Nature treats all the same Its just a shame we've come all this way To only slowly fade On the bright side Ive had the time of my life I laughed i smiled i feel like i can die Knowing i can believe in such sweet things If this wasn't fate well i cant wait All i really want was a chance to amend Grab the hand of understanding I need to keep in mind Not to drink from anothers wine We may move on But youll never be gone Some of myself will be left with you I just want to say Thank you How could you leave without saying a word Another year gone oh never before Another time with me forever Childhood memoirs

Lost 01:39
Where can i go? I got no home? Gots no place To call my own Where can i find? Diamond of life If it only Might be there How come these things? Never work out exactly how i want them to Why do i always end up thinking myself awake at night? Im lost I dont know what im doing, saying, craving, misbehaving just because Oh im so just Im on my way to somewhere wether its heaven or hell forever i really dont care I dont know, i dont care Im not sure what it is i really fear in the morning, look in the mirror another day wandering in place Who am i? what do i do? How soon will i escape this doom? Of my heart, of my head, of my soul am i dead yet?

D c g cap2? whatever feels right i paint you on to everything around me somehow now you got me making my life into something living someone looking foward to see how youll be greeted with grief will love sweep you by the feet can age change who you are does another take your heart your the only thing i really think about everything else is something im trying to drown out i cant even seem to touch myself without you here to help tell me you feel it to Tell me your opinion of the truth Does it eat away at you The way it does to me is the past always frozen what really is a moment Under the cover of darkness alll you need is to stare up
9.
A, C#M, D, E I have this picture frame of you in my room Its what i use when im blue and away from you Its a reminder we will be well soon Theres comfort knowing that you got one too I give all of myself without a question You give me the confidence that no one ever has Its a strange thing being accepted as No one other than who I am I still keep the painting we did together I look at it sometimes as a reminder Of what i have what i lost and what i miss Man i would give it all to be in the moment I still feel the real something that you give me Its what reveals the purpose of days I dont think it will ever go away Like you in the memory of that picture frame
10.
Am, F, G, C A day can feel like a lifetime When your a sucker for the sad Writing songs for sanity Hoping it will take you back Night and Day its all the same Either or your still blue Remember yesterday when your free thinking of everything you can be A day can feel like a lifetime when time is whats on your mind you didnt choose to be alone Out in the freezing cold A day can feel like a lifetime when you realize the sunsets quick How many days will you really have a chance with it A lifetime can feel like a day looking back of the past age Oh weren't those the days when i hadn't discovered anything A day can feel like a lifetime when money is an excuse for living Only to lose that bet that you made from the beginning A day can feel like a lifetime When your a sucker for the sad Writing songs for sanity Hoping it will take you back Night and Day its all the same Either or your still blue Remember yesterday when your free thinking of everything you can be
11.
E A E A How am i supposed to stick to silly sayin’s When i know there uh whole greater meaning Sometime since ive been gifted influence I bestow in the we met Your face is so honest, im down on my knees You smell as if heaven just descended upon me Hard to hold my heart from altar proposals Im Starting to subtly grow up my stuble B A BA Give me the only thing ill ever need Lets make our love familiar As strange as it seems we can get Closer than anyone has ever been It just takes a second to start the rest of your life So why wait when its gone in the blink of an eye Why do i feel a need to posses u Ive always played fair But for once my inner beast Is getting the best of me B A BA Give me the only thing ill ever need Lets make our love familiar

Up Up Up 01:40
Up up up G, em, c, em, g Up up up and away we go Dont know how to do what im told Searching for, I wish i knew Then maybe i would have a chance to Know where to start Im so young, to old, so many missing parts You know even if i wanted to I got no clue where to start Up up up can you take me there The place where my brain rest, the world at my fingers (heart everywhere) Only way to see the picture Is to go above and follow this hope But Do i dare wish upon a mystery Ill told to chase my passion but that scare the death out of me Don't we do what naturally makes us complete Or am I still just nieve Up up up Till i cant see Till i cant see anything Please please I need to know Before it is my time to go Up up up Take me take me take me to the place Where i meditate in the rain Where everyday is the sam Ill be happy Ill sing, ill sing
13.
For You 02:44
2. For You (Cap 3) G,C For you i would take away all the pain If that meant you would stay another day For you i would go through it instead If that meant you would have a happy home again For you i would work myself to death My legs would fall off but id put them right back on again Cant you see my only reason to keep living Is to make sure that you do to I love you more than life itself Your the only reason I've ever feel what i felt Our time together has been better than living forever For you i would break the law If thats the kind of thing that turns you on Oh how it so obviously does since you stole my heart without getting caught For you i may be wasting my life but the point is to be happy so i guess it must be alright Sweetheart the time just isnt right But i still believe one day your going to be my wife be the one i lye with at night The one i get into a fight and make it alright i cant believe how short everything seems the second your back next to me For You i would be remembered forever Somehow someway by everything and everybody Cause i love to watch you sleep It reminds me how this is all just a dream For you i would take away all the pain If that meant you would stay another day For you i would go through it instead If that meant you would have a happy home again For you i may be wasting my life but the point is to be happy so i guess it must be alright Sweetheart the time just isnt right But i still believe one day your going to be my wife
14.
G,C Today was like any other Someday is everyday from now Yesterday may seem so far But its as close as tomorrow G,C A home is someone you hold close Someone far seen as an enemy Your the only one who ever really knew me still holds true but the blues are easy Em, G, C, G i once well in love but i fucked it all up i still think about her every day i once well in love, but i fucked it all up and i still miss her to this day and my thoughts wonder G,C Why do we feel the need to be loved? How come i want to know your all of your secrets? Does it make me strange to say these things If you all want to say it to... Em,G,C Together!!! gether we can conquer disaster to the individual Hold on to each other cause you know its only inevitable G,C Tomorrow may not seem different You might not even cross my thoughts It doesnt mean i dont love you a whole lot I just found know just like me times move on
15.
Here You Now 02:02
Here you Now CFG i dont know what makes it all worth it i still think about you time to time less often than i like a same yet separate path of life 2 in a million 3 including myself 4 for those that are here with me right now 5 if you your lucky and in love with somebody since ive known you ive been nothing but blessed so lets build a upon what im slowing losing fix the world till it becomes assuming falsify feelings until they turn true excuse are shying away from the truth here we are slowly killing ourselves and you know the only cure is finding out what is a moment if you dont have time to think while your in it all i want to do is be perfect for you you understand like i thought i knew you come to my mind when things are good i think its bout time to cut the wood will you be here with me now can u stay, beside me, here with me i dont know why i cry as a craft raining underneath till i turn green i still smell the same as last week twice as strong but 4 times as weak six senses are signs of sickness within us Serendipity has me questioning a sure thing You keep revealing everything but yourself Like you said of its meant it's meant will you be here with me now can u stay, beside me, here with me now

Rap: kopi lime Im everything that i tell myself not to be But i just cant seem to see the left and right of things Im hiding what i want, all these false faces put on. Its been awhile since i turned myself around Im in doubt, i cry, i shout but all that seems to come out Is this truth i forgotten in When the morning begins, that just when the night ends You know Its okay to go back to your own bed Maybe this is the birth of something new Something rumored yet only written in truth My palms have lines of ancestral lives They just look a little bit different than last time I have irrational fears Now a days thats all i seem to hear Im indifferent to definitions of knowledge When a moment is all it takes to be gone with it I may not be remembered like Julius caesar I may never ever cancer my own nature I may just maybe see some of what i dream to see I may be the names i dont see who were just like me Whatever it really means i know your a cure For the mature torture of a departure Everywhere and anything youve ever seen Feels like apiece itching inside me Is it crazy to think? That nothing is what it seems Im deeply in love with these growing gaps of love The longer your gone the easier this becomes Im starting to know that everything i hold can be let go And even if were scared to admit it Without this there would be no point to it. You know its really is a funny thing After a minute its like you never ever left me And if im being honest thats what scares me This Familiarity is a dangerous thing We all may be Nothing but stranger things Unexplained exposed and cold To all the places and people that go Up down on top and through Your nothing but a record of a so called truth And if im going down At least I'll have a place to put a frown You see, it really easy It just a matter of accepting That although your a somebody to your self Im a nobody with a body, honestly And your an allusion that brings the meaning A first impression is all you really get And you'll look back and think of the lies you said And you know there's nothing you can really do Other than wonder if in another universe you broke through One day with you A delay but what can you really do Other than put faith in another A moment missed is another word for forever Taking things as imagery A mirage of a childhood poetry It's just as I age it isn't as easy To preach a hope I'll never see Hand in hand Side by side We all just live what the reason maybe just to die But if it is you made it seem it was all a lie Because I never felt closer to it with you by my side
