More Than Life Itself
01:58

|
D, Bm , F#, A
I love you more than life itself
I hope you know
You are the cure
To sickness that is myself
Oh how I love the way you smell
Drunk on love, and the weather
You never looked better
Power of your tenderness
Power of your kiss
In a loving haze
Together in a Summer place
Thank you for making me yours
The sun, the sky evening the score
It's easy to stay up all night
When you're holding me inside
The ocean is so endless
Isn't it romantic?
I can't help but live inside
All of these moments that make up my life
How are such simple things
Like the touch of a hand
Meaning so much to me
|

2. |

|
G, Dmaj 7, D, Bm7
I cant help but stare sometimes
You girls are the love of my life
Your the first thing I want with anything
What you do to me
Must be healthy
Women, you are the secret to world peace
All you need is to feel and live a life at ease
Your love grows, so long, so strong
I cant help but love every last one of 'em
I want to have sex with you, baby
Its only cause you look so fine
Its like you were made for me
I'm not trying to be rude
Just speaking the my hearts truth
Why dont we live for today
Go, and slowly slip away
Women, step on in, your wish is my command
Im just a man, who cant break free, from what is innate in him
Your touch solves all problems
If your gone ill never solve em
Oh im doing all i can
To make you a happy woman
I want to have sex with you, Baby
Its only cause you look so fine
Its like you were made for me
I im not trying to be rude
Merely, speaking the truth
Why dont we live for today
and slowly slip away

Do you see it leaving?
01:42
|

|
C,D,G
Sometimes
C,D,G,Em
Do you see it leaving?
Before Your Eyes
Oh I can no longer hide
From my own fate
I'll try to stop
Hold on so very long
But in the end
I'm not that strong
So grab my hand
This pain won't last
Soon enough
whats past is past
Youll return
memory a souvenir
Of this time
always near

Flying Inside my Body

Gmaj 7 with pinky finger pick move pinky up one, f maj 7 as first one, A#7, Fmaj 7 bar , G (213)
Today i dreamed you flew inside my body
Stayed there and keep me warm
Its about the happiest i ever felt
Nothing could go wrong
Then i woke up
I realized you were gone
Opened my window
But the sun wasnt the sun
I told you about my dream
You seemed happy for once
You stood in silence
But your stare said it all
Why is love so painful
How come i need you more than ever
If i had a choice
Would i do it all again
Is it really worth it in the end
Today you flew inside my mind
I was blond to all the evil in the world
All i care about was you
Its how id like to stay
Then i fell asleep
You were here all along
I closed my eyes
Everything was how it was supped to be
Everything looked so beautiful (life was beautiful)

Coloring My Life
C,Am, F, G
Oh I just want to share
Show you how much i care
Your more than a pretty face
Takes me to a rebirthed place
What i hold your hand
I can’t help but think
Everything that was once nothing
Has a new light
That i could never see before
Cause your coloring up my life
Coloring my life, Coloring my life
Between the lines, all the time
My, My, My I can’t help but muddle
Everything you say gives me the thrill of trouble
Well grow together till we crumble
As our ashes get lost in the ocean
Oh I still don’t understand
How someone is so damn genuine
Never seen a dark side
Cause your coloring up my life
Your coloring up my life
Between the lines, all the time
Say, Say, Say my name just one more time
You'll make me want to die
Because it only gets worse from here
That's the cruel thing about nature
It will never be perfect
But maybe that's what makes it so
Worth more than i can pay
Color me with what you have to say
Say me to that you’ll never leave
Say to me lets get married
Over and over i’ll never get tired
Of you coloring my picture

Ride of Life

D, Dmaj7, G (couple times) (223)
------------------
D, Dmaj7, G, A
I want to take you
On my ride of life
But time comes and takes you afloat
So sad to see you go
I want to share your trip
Around the word, inside your head
But i just got one life
With my limits, your decisions
Its a shame we dont have a second go
Soooo
Lets make the most of now
Forget for a moment time is running out
Of one anotherm leaving to discover
Ourselves and the world around
Only if my only wish
Taking steps to be famous
Maybe then i could be there when i should
Not just when its convienet (your here)
An live yout and my best selves
Rule over ourimagined castle
Were we overlook our world
And hold back tearsfrom the beatuy that dissapears
Wonder if wre lucky or blessed
If so, are we mkaing the most of it
Most of the time on this planet
Most of what i grab is just fiction
So lets make it a reality
But i cant do it alone you see
Together if we all dream the same
We can make it this place
Only space in our memories
Till it comes to and end and we forget the simple things

Where Do I Start?
02:46
|
|||
|
Where do I start?
Where do I end?
I can't help but sometimes beg
For an answer to all of my of questions
Maybe it's just a matter of opinion
Maybe I'm just overthinking
But I still ask
Is it too late?
Because I feel like I'm slipping away
To this place only in my dreams
How come when I wake up
I forget everything?
Where do I start?
Where do I end?
I can't help but sometimes beg
For an answer to all of my questions
Maybe I'm just overthinking
Why is it all always my fault
I don't have a reason or a cause
For all these actions all my desires
I'm the worlds worst natural born liar
Where do you go?
Nowhere I'm told
I just think that sounds a little bit too cold
Believing in something is a feeling
I'm on this earth for a reason
Where do I start?
Where do I end?
I can't help but sometimes beg
For an answer to all my of questions
Maybe it's just my opinion
All this time is moving at a rate
Its impossible to relate
So much has happened since I last saw you
Yet I can only seem to know a memory or two
Where do I start, where do I end
I cant help but sometimes beg
IFor an answer to these big questions big questions
Maybe its just a matter of opinion
When it all ends
Maybe thats when we wake up
And see
What we are really made of

Come Closer
02:32
|
|||
|
G, C, D
and G,C,D,C
Come Closer
I want to know whether
To worry about these simple things
Cause they don't seem to be easily received
Did you know that looking at the sky
Is just like traveling in time
And everything you do don't matter
Cause we all die
Come Closer
Make today forever
Until we reach
Where it is
We are trying to go
I was stumbling in the dark
Realized we are all ike stars
Together we burn so bright
And alone
We get lost in the night
So come closer
I want to know whether
To worry about these simple things
Cause they don't seem to be easily received
Did you know that looking at the sky
Is just like traveling in time
And everything you do don't matter
Cause we all die
Come Closer
Make today forever
Until we reach
Where it is
We are trying to go

Whats Inside of You
02:43
|

|
What’s Inside of You
I can see the morning breeze
Listening to the trees
Feel the ground age and age
Hear the stories it says (it has)
I have seen millions of men
In the same place that you stand
Tell me, what's inside of you?
You those legs for legacy and show me
What inside of you
I can see the white white moon
Reflect the blue and touch my soul
Feel the sun's love upon my face
Fall in love, with what leaves me
Conquer the nightmare that is my own dreams
I can see the morning breeze
Why do you wish into regret
When i give you just this one dance
Do you see how blessed you are?
Our more alive than any best
Conscious of your being
Why do you choose to suffer?
So i'll lose myself
Into your heart
Go to where the light splits from the dark
And Find what's inside of me
Comeback with memories
Im nothing in the grand scheme
Till i forget to believe (only if i choose to believe)
|
||||
10. |

|
F,C,Am,G
The time wasted
Was the most cherished
Can't believe it came and it went
As fast as it did
Doesn't feel far
but my thoughts disagree
This is what ill take to my eternal sleep
Maybe just maybe
With a time machine
We could be
Together, Wherever, Forever
All of these memories made
Are all ill take to my grave
For today we can try
Try and stop
Stop time
|

All These Times
02:19
|
|||
|
C,Em, Am
and
C,Em,Am,G
All of these times
Passing this life
So beautiful
I could almost cry
But that would be too sad
And I would be wasting the little I have
So I'll just keep buying it back
Till I'm forced to lay flat
All of these memories
Are all that makeup me
Well have to wait and see
The ending to this mystery
That I never want to end
Cause that would mean never seeing you again
And that's just something
I could not stand
|

Please Don't Forget

Please Dont Forget (194)
Capo 3, G, G three fingers higher (at top), am7, C
Please dont forget
What is what like
That day that you came
Into my life
I know this time
Goes so slow
Only speeding up
When we want it to
Stop
Well have our doubt
Maybe we are just fools
But there is something in this sun
Telling me, To wait for you
I will be here, even if it only makes you cry
Fly over the sunrise, Thats where i will wait
Since ive known you it has all been a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Your making this muic so easy
Im just writing
How im feeling

G7, Cmaj7 fingerpluck video on camer and audio recording on iphone
(224)
Help me find this life
All these signs
Come when i need
More then my own two feet
Speak and feel the comfort of the silence
Understand your flaws and become your best
Do you look shy away on purpose
Or are just full of humblness
Im not a liar
Just a with holder of truth
Showing all of yourself
Its such a hrd things to do
Tell me about how
You like being alone but seek so much help
You ace like somone your not
Suprised you think something is wrong
Help me find this life
One bad choice and a year is gone away
Either way you can learn something
These signd still say im where im supposde to be

She Walked Into My Life
02:55
|
|||
|
C, Am F, G
She walked into my life
Suddenly I was changed
Into a man with a different name
It was love at first sight
Her beauty caught my eye
Then her inside stole my soul
We have a simple love
Like the dreamed of
You are
The love of my life
I wish i could stop time
Cause every single moment
I spend with you
Is my happiness times two
I miss looking into your heart
Cause when you are so far
All i can do is wish upon these stars
That's just how life goes
I see you hanging on the edge of my mind
Somehow someway we will have our time
|

Into Thin Air
01:32
|
|||
|
F,C,G
then
Am,EM, Am, G
My oh my
How can I stop time
For more than a moment
Can I write to forget
That all we are
Is what we make together
But it all gets lost
Into thin air
Somehow ill make now forever
Even if it's only to suffer
As i grow i slowly go
Into thin air
How can i show
This sure unknown
When i cant even see it
Disappearing in front of me
|
||||
16. |
Hold on to me
01:49
|
|||
|
Cmaj7, C (four finger first fret)
dm, g, c, am
Hold on to me
Before I have to leave
The sound of this rain
The only thing putting us sleep
All I can is play today
And beg for tomorrow to just go away
I'm gonna miss me when I'm with you
I don't know if I'll ever be back
God only knows what ill be
Everything I see just seems
To lead me back to you

Making History
02:46
|
|||
|
B,E, A, E
Im not sure what to make of history
It seems only to be repeating
What's the difference in between (i cant see)
Between now and when there was no T.V
All these lessons im supposed to learn
Are the same everywhere as far as im concerned
My influences have their own too
All staying in their rooms
Im not to sure how to form any sort
Of vision given our current form
If it seems were all jsut one grand illusion
Oh your just another one
stuck in the bookshelf of history
What to make of this time
That you hold so dearly
A thousand splendid years
Still your looking in the mirror
A different name another way to say
Onward to another day
|

Picnic Tree
02:36
|
|||
|
Im sitting under this picnic tree
Leaves ever changing
Just like me
So i stare out to the clouds
How are either one of us going to make it out
Im starting to keep track of time
Changing more like the outside
Trying to fight, but its not my world
One lucky roll, and im gold
Im making a list
Shopping to distract from the fact im depressed
Oh today wasnt so bad
And tommorow well be at it again
Here i sit my only company
Is a hope someone is listening
And if your there i promise im alone
Give me a clue yout all i was told
|

Tricked me at first

Tricked at first (232)
F, Dm, A#, C
the way your body curved
had me at a loss for words
These days grew ever shorter
priorities out of order
A better worst off then before
what am i gonna do with you
qhat u do is so cruel but i still love u
You and i moving to the rhythm of life
I may not say it enough
But i love you more than ever my love
first thing first i learned moments arent meant forever
If they were, we would never
put ourselves behind anohter
Always may never exist
Cause if it did do u think wed feel this?
We may or may nay not make it like we say
A guide through change outside our space
You know that Im myself only with you
Please dont go honey i need you
I dont know what i did before you
Be the one i give my love to

My Bedroom
01:59
|

|
G,F,C
My bedroo is the countryside
Sometimes i lock it up and for get all life
Mosty i just lie and waste my time
But its my bedroom i do what i like
My bedrrom is like im in space
So much room
All for me
If sometimes calls
I don thave to listen
They cant know
If im not answering
I dont have to say a thing
No one knows
Im diong my thang
Maybe ill make a mess
For the hell of it
Or sleep naked and get drunk and forget
No one there no judge me
Ive never been so cozy
I am the king
Inside my little dream
My bedroo is the countryside
Sometimes i lock it up and for get all life
Mosty i just lie and waste my time
But its my bedroom i do what i like
I dont break the rules
Because i make them
And the only punishment is
Is a self lying criticism
