With his husky voice, a head full of catchy tunes and a story to tell, Jack Savoretti would seem to have everything it takes.
Yet, just one year ago - with two albums already to his name, a raft of rave reviews, and a legion of fans from five years of solid gigging - Jack was about to pack it all in.
Having left his former label and management, he had become thoroughly disillusioned with the music biz at the age of 27. “I was seriously thinking about giving it all up,” he admits.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

G (C or Asus) GEmAmCG
[Verse 1] Tonight has been long I've smoked every breath Trying to feel so alive Tempting death
I've smiled at the angels But I fear where they live I've taken too much With nothing to give
[Chorus] My chemical courage Has come to an end The night once my lover Is no longer my friend
[Verse 2] Well tonignt has gone wrong Coz I said what I said I've been left all alone To lie in my bed
Thinking I'm just a fake But nothing is real And if I'm asking to be saved I must learn how to kneel
[Chorus] Now my chemical courage Has come to an end The night once my lover Is no longer a friend Playing tricks on my eyes Shining light on my tears Pray for a new day To hide all my fears
GCAmG
Yea-a-a-ah yeah-ah wo-o-o-oh woah And I, I can't find a way Back to where I felt safe
[Chorus] Now my chemical courage Has come to an end The night once my lover Is no longer my friend Playing tricks on my eyes Shining light on my tears Pray for a new day To hide all my fears To hide all my fears To hide all my fears
