[Intro]
A F#m D D A
[Verse]
A F#m D D A
Help me make my mind up then as you're tying up my shoes
A F#m D E A
My ego sang me lullabies and my conscience sang the blues
A F#m D D A
He took me to a crossroads once and said I had a choice
A F#m D E A
But he couldn't hear me make my bet over his own voice
A F#m D D A
So if I climb the mountain now with my paint and leather shoes
A F#m D E A E
And I touch the hand of God up there will you still help me choose?
[Chorus]
A C# D
They tried to tell me you're cold
C# D
And you're impossible to hurt
A F#m
Now I've heard that said about the both of us
D E D A
They should put it on a t-shirt
A F#m
If that's true about the both of us
D E D A
They should put it on a t-shirt
[Instrumental]
A F#m D D
[Verse]
A F#m D D A
Yes, I got your article on the shape of things to come
A F#m D E A
I'm glad you're feeling guilty now, that you're better off than some
A F#m D D A
But I think you sent donations to the wrong side of the road
C# F#m D E A E
So I took 'em from their window sill and served 'em at a mall
[Chorus]
A C# D
They tried to tell me you're cold
C# D
And you're impossible to hurt
A F#m
Now I've heard that said about the both of us
D E D A
They should put it on a t-shirt
A F#m
If that's true about the both of us
D E D A
They should put it on a t-shirt
A F#m
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
D E D A
They should put it on a t-shirt
A F#m
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
D E D A
Why don't they put it on a t-shirt?

A F#m D A C# D E
[Verse]
A F#m D D A
Help me make my mind up then as you're tying up my shoes
A F#m D E A
My ego sang me lullabies and my conscience sang the blues
A F#m D D A
I'm sleeping in the kitchen now and my feet are in the hall
A F#m D E A
My picture's on a piano, my head is off the wall
[Chorus]
A C# D
They tried to tell me you're cold
C# D
And you're impossible to hurt
A F#m
Now I've heard that said about the both of us
D E D A
They should put it on a t-shirt
A F#m
If that's true about the both of us
D E D A
They should put it on a t-shirt

Let's take 'em 'round the back to the cash machine
[Chorus 1]

And if my eyes open for business

Or my heart comes home for Christmas

You tell them the one about the one that gets away

So when you take your shot and there's no one left to play
[Chorus 2]
B
And you've got nothing left to give
F#
I'll give you a month to live

I will take you surfing in the sky, woah

TRACK 7- Nightclub
[Intro]
D D D D Bm Bm Bm Bm
[Verse]
D
I wake up in the morning with the evening in my eye
And by the time I get there it becomes apparent why
Bm
All the voices singing to me like some sort of choir
But you can't fight fire with the feeling of desire
[Break]
D D D D
[Verse]
D
So I become a bubble bath from a sociopath
With a god-given right of a social life
Bm
She says she only thinks of love like a long weekend
But she might jump in if I show her to the deep end
[Pre-Chorus Solo]
G G E E

It makes my head feel like a nightclub
G F#m A
It makes my head
[Solo]
D D D D Bm Bm Bm Bm
[Verse]
D
She says that if I wanted romance I could find it in the past
But if I want to face the music then I only have to ask
Bm
So she sings me one I know as if we're sitting round a fire
And there ain't no feeling like the feeling of desire
[Pre-Chorus Solo]
G G E E
[Chorus]
Bm
Yea-ea-ea-ea-eaaah
G F#m E F#m
And it makes my head feel like a nightclub

TRACK 8- Out On The Street
[Verse 1]
C# F#
Who put bars across your window of opportunity?
F#
Did you see?
C# F#
You called me a broken record
F#
But I'll, but I'll never be
C# F#
I am trying to be honest
F#
If I end up sounding cold
C# F#
It's the middle of the winter
F#
And I wanted you to
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Hear me out! I'm out on the street
F
And I'm trying to find your building, baby
Am
Here I am! I'll be in retreat
F
I've been going 'round in circles, lately
[Chorus]
Am F
I'm not like "Can we just pretend?"
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E
I thought it through and I'm calling you
Am F
I'm not like "Can we just pretend?"
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E
I thought it through then I called you
[Verse 2]
C# F#
You told me I'm hard to live with
F#
But you said it out of spite
C# F#
I may put you through some suffering
F#
But I never prove you right
C# F#
It's a chapter that you're stuck on
F#
And you'd rather read alone
C# F#
I'm an uninspiring ending
F#
But the best you've ever known
[Chorus]
Am F
I'm not like "Can we just pretend?"
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E
I thought it through and I'm calling you
Am F
I'm not like "Can we just pretend?"

I thought of her, I thought of you

I thought it through then I called you

TRACK 9- Take It Easy
[Intro]
B E B E
[Verse 1]
B E
Give me your cigarette but not your smoker's cough
B E
I wanna push your buttons but don't wanna turn you off
B E
I wanna be the star and I wanna make it rain
B E
So when I burn out I got ice to cool the pain
[Chorus]
F# C#
That's the problem with people like me
F G#
Why make it hard when you could make it easy?
Gm
(Take it easy, take-take it easy)
F G#
Why work hard when you can take it easy?
Gm
(Take it easy, take-take it easy)
[Verse 2]
B E
Give me your words of wisdom but don't make me take the class
B E
I wanna fly you to the moon but I don't wanna pay for gas
B E
When I stop working you can put me in the trash
B E
Or you can use me again on a date that doesn't crash
[Chorus]
F# C#
That's the problem with people like me
F G#
Why make it hard when you could make it easy?

[Verse 1]
A5
Precious is your first name
F#5
But that's not how you do me
A5
Oh, your spirit is a freight train
F#5
I feel it running though me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D A G
I know there's guys that you like better
D A G
You think that I'm old news
D A G
But we're not good for one another
D A G
But I'm begging, I'm begging of you
[Chorus]
Am
Oh, I wanna have someone to lose
B
And if you ain't mine, baby, then whose?
Am
Oh, I wanna have someone to lose
B
Wish it was you, isn't it you?
Am
Oh, I would be somebody you use
B
So that I could have someone to lose
[Verse 2]
A5
My sadness had a stage name
F#5
But that's not how you knew me
A5
So you played me like a rockstar
F#5
You're the one that overthrew me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D A G
Go see if he can love you better
D A G
And tell him I'm old news
D A G
And you don't think of me that often
D A G
But I'm begging, I'm begging of you
[Chorus]
Am
Oh, I wanna have someone to lose
B
And if you ain't mine, baby, then whose?

So that I could have someone to lose

D A G
But I'm begging, I'm begging of you
[Chorus]
Am
Oh, I wanna have someone to lose
B
And if you ain't mine, baby, then whose?
Am
Oh, I wanna have someone to lose

Wish it was you, isn't it you?

Oh, I would be somebody you use

So that I could have someone to lose

Isn't it you?

Isn't it you?

Isn't it you?

Isn't it you?
TRACK 11- Rolling Stones
Capo 3
[Intro]
Am F C E
Am F C E
[Verse]
Am F
When your mouth is as big as the Rolling Stones
C E
And your self-control, relative unknown
Am F
And you can cut holes into everyone
C E
Or you can just shoot hoops through the summer sun
[Chorus 1]
Am F G
I know you paid for the room with a view
Am F G
But got one that pointed at you
Am F G
So when you skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
You can tell them that this one's for you
F F G
Yeah, tell them that this one's for you
Am F C E
Am F C E
[Verse 2]
Am F
I know people think your mind is a ski resort
C E
But the art of deception is a contact sport
Am F
So if you wanna make amends then you make a list
C E
You don't draw blanks on the back of your fist
[Chorus 2]
Am
In the restaurant at the top of your ivory tower
F G
Where the ropes stop turning just to save our power
Am C
But if you ask her politely you know
Am G
That I can't get my knife up at first
Am C
Then the world might revolve around her's
Am G
Yeah, the world should revolve around her's
[Refrain]
Am F G
And if there's no reservation for two
Am F G
But the hostess is someone you knew
Am F G
Then skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
And tell them that this one's for you
G F G
Go tell them that this one's for you
[Instrumental]
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G
[Outro]
Am F G
But when I float to the top I tried a lucky guess
Am F G
But I only go fishing for negative press
Am F G
Cause I've been to the bottom and the bottom is free
Am F G
But the easy way out ain't tailor-made
Am F G
And I've been to the bottom with you
Am F G
But we just do what we want to do
Am F G
So let's skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
And tell them that this one's for you
Am F G
We'll tell them that this one's for you

TRACK 7- Nightclub
[Intro]
D D D D Bm Bm Bm Bm
[Verse]
D
I wake up in the morning with the evening in my eye
And by the time I get there it becomes apparent why
Bm
All the voices singing to me like some sort of choir
But you can't fight fire with the feeling of desire
[Break]
D D D D
[Verse]
D
So I become a bubble bath from a sociopath
With a god-given right of a social life

She says she only thinks of love like a long weekend
But she might jump in if I show her to the deep end

D D D D Bm Bm Bm Bm
[Verse]
D
She says that if I wanted romance I could find it in the past
But if I want to face the music then I only have to ask
Bm
So she sings me one I know as if we're sitting round a fire
And there ain't no feeling like the feeling of desire
[Pre-Chorus Solo]
G G E E
[Chorus]
Bm
Yea-ea-ea-ea-eaaah

TRACK 8- Out On The Street
[Verse 1]
C# F#
Who put bars across your window of opportunity?
F#
Did you see?
C# F#
You called me a broken record
F#
But I'll, but I'll never be
C# F#
I am trying to be honest
F#
If I end up sounding cold
C# F#
It's the middle of the winter
F#
And I wanted you to
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
Hear me out! I'm out on the street
F
And I'm trying to find your building, baby
Am
Here I am! I'll be in retreat

I've been going 'round in circles, lately

I'm not like "Can we just pretend?"

I thought of her, I thought of you

I thought it through and I'm calling you
Am F
I'm not like "Can we just pretend?"
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E

[Verse 2]
C# F#
You told me I'm hard to live with
F#
But you said it out of spite
C# F#
I may put you through some suffering
F#
But I never prove you right
C# F#
It's a chapter that you're stuck on
F#
And you'd rather read alone
C# F#
I'm an uninspiring ending
F#
But the best you've ever known
[Chorus]
Am F
I'm not like "Can we just pretend?"
G
I thought of her, I thought of you
E
I thought it through and I'm calling you

When I stop working you can put me in the trash

Or you can use me again on a date that doesn't crash

Why make it hard when you could make it easy?

A5
My sadness had a stage name
F#5
But that's not how you knew me

F#5
You're the one that overthrew me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D A G
Go see if he can love you better
D A G
And tell him I'm old news
D A G

TRACK 11- Rolling Stones
Capo 3
[Intro]
Am F C E
Am F C E
[Verse]
Am F
When your mouth is as big as the Rolling Stones
C E
And your self-control, relative unknown
Am F
And you can cut holes into everyone
C E
Or you can just shoot hoops through the summer sun
[Chorus 1]
Am F G
I know you paid for the room with a view
Am F G
But got one that pointed at you
Am F G
So when you skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
You can tell them that this one's for you
F F G
Yeah, tell them that this one's for you
Am F C E
Am F C E
[Verse 2]
Am F
I know people think your mind is a ski resort
C E
But the art of deception is a contact sport
Am F
So if you wanna make amends then you make a list
C E
You don't draw blanks on the back of your fist
[Chorus 2]
Am
In the restaurant at the top of your ivory tower
F G
Where the ropes stop turning just to save our power
Am C
But if you ask her politely you know
Am G
That I can't get my knife up at first
Am C
Then the world might revolve around her's
Am G
Yeah, the world should revolve around her's
[Refrain]
Am F G
And if there's no reservation for two
Am F G
But the hostess is someone you knew
Am F G
Then skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
And tell them that this one's for you
G F G
Go tell them that this one's for you
[Instrumental]
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G
Am F G
[Outro]
Am F G
But when I float to the top I tried a lucky guess
Am F G
But I only go fishing for negative press
Am F G
Cause I've been to the bottom and the bottom is free
Am F G
But the easy way out ain't tailor-made
Am F G
And I've been to the bottom with you
Am F G
But we just do what we want to do
Am F G
So let's skip to the front of the queue
Am F G
And tell them that this one's for you
Am F G
We'll tell them that this one's for you
