someone who is not an ordinary (G) girl
(G) When you (A) sleep you find your (D) mother in the (G) night
But she (D) stays just out of (G) sight
So there (D) isn’t any (F#m) sweetness in the (A) dreaming
(G) And when you (A) wake the morning (D) covers you with (G) light
And it (D) makes you feel (G) alright
But it’s (D) just the same hard (F#m) candy you’re (A) remembering (Dsus) again
(to riff or D G Bm A)
(D) You send your (G) lover off to (Bm) China then you (A) wait for her to (D) call
You put your (G) girl up on a (Bm) pedestal then you (A) wait for her to (D) fall
I put my (G) summer’s back in a (Bm) letter and I (A) hide it from the (D) world
All the (G) regrets you can’t (Bm) forget are somehow (A) pressed upon a picture
In the face of such an ordinary (G) girl
(G) And When you (A) sleep you find your (D) mother in the (G) night
But she (D) stays just out of (G) sight
So there (D) isn’t any (F#m) sweetness in the (A) dreaming
(G) And when you (A) wake the morning (D) covers you with (G) light
And it (D) makes you feel (G) alright
But it’s (D) just the same hard (F#m) candy you’re (A) remembering (Dsus) again
(G) Again, (Em) again, (A) again
But it’s (D) just the same hard (F#m) candy you’re (A) remembering (Dsus) again

33. I will Survive – Cake
Am Dm G C F B7 Em E (one chord per measure—whole song)
Verse:
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking
I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you’d done me wrong
And I grew strong
I learned how to get along
So now you’re back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without the look upon your face
I should have changed my f-ing lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I’d have known for just one second
You’d be back to bother me
Chorus:
Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah
Verse 2:
It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
I’m trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me
With somebody new
I’m not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you’d just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I’m saving all my loving
For someone who’s loving me
Chorus:
Oh now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
You’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my live to live
I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah

72. My Way—Frank Sinatra
And (C) now, the end is (Am) near,
And so I (Gm) face, the final (A7) curtain.
My (Dm) friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my (G7) case, of which I’m (C) certain.
I’ve (C) lived, a life that’s (C7) full,
I’ve traveled (F) each, and every (Fm) highway.
But (C) more, much more than (G7)this,
I did it (F) my (C) way.
(C) Regrets, I’ve had a (Em) few,
But then (Gm) again, too few to (A7) mention.
I (Dm) did, what I had to do,
And saw it (G7) through, without (C) exemption.
I (C) planned, each chartered (C7) course,
Each careful (F) step, along the (Fm) byway.
But (C) more, much more than (G7) this,
I did it (F) my (C) way.
Yes, there were (C) times, I’m sure you (C7) knew,
When I bit (F) off, more than I could chew.
But through it (Dm) all, when there was (G7) doubt,
I ate it (Em7) up, and spit it (Am) out.
I faced it (Dm) all, and I stood (G7) tall,
And did it (F) my (C) way.
I’ve (C) loved, I’ve laughed and (Em) cried,
I’ve had my (Gm) fill, my share of (A7) losing.
And (Dm) now, as tears subside,
I find it (G7) all so (C) amusing.
To (C) think, I did all (C7) that,
And may I (F) say, not in a (Fm) shy way.
Oh (C) no, no not (G7) me,
I did it (F) my (C) way.
For what is a (C) man, what has he (C7) got,
If not (F) himself, then he has naught.
To say the (Dm) things, he truly (G7) feels,
And not the (Em7) words, of one who (Am) kneels.
The record (Dm) shows, I took the (G7) blows,
And did it (F) my (C) way.

From the [A] coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the (A7) secrets of my (E7) soul
Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’ve done
Every night she kept me from the [A] cold
Then [A] somewhere near Salinas, I let her slip away
Look in’ for the (A7) home and I hope she (D) finds it
And I’ll trade all my tomorrows for a (A) single yesterday
(E7) Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine
[D] Freedom’s just an other word for [A] nothin’ left to lose
[E7] Nothin’ left is all she left for (A) me

I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my star bed make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm a lover’s glass like a friendly wine
So I’d give this world to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I’d like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my star bed make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm a lover’s glass like a friendly wine
So I’d give this world to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
Dream a dream with you
So I’d give my life to lay my head to night
On a bed of California stars.

All of those tourists covered with [A] oil
Strummin’ my six string, on my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they’re beginnin’ to [D] boil [D7]

[D] Don’t know the reason, I stayed here all season
Nothin’ to show but this brand new ta- [A] ttoo

How it got here I haven’t a [D] clue [D7]

INTRO [G6] (Eight measures)
VERSE
[G6] The breeze has a secret
[F#m] to most but not all
[G6] The days all seem the same
[F#m] but the nights, not at all
[G6] It’s not the cool of the evening
[F#] or the comfort that it brings
[G6] It’s not sweet aroma
[F#] or the sound of a wind chimes’ ring
[Bm] It’s not just the leaves
they’re beginning to [Cmaj7] blow
their colors are different
in the dusk’s early
[Bm] glow
[Bm] The thrill of the season
[Cmaj7] I escape the [Cmaj7] heat
The sun going sooner
but the dark bitter- [Em] sweet [C D]
[Em] sweet [C D]
SOLO [Em C D]
CHORUS
[Em] I feel the new freedom
I look to the [C] leaves
aroma of [D] autumn
that comes with the [Em] breeze
[Em] A quickening now
the change in [C] scene
The change in my [D] spirit
and what that could [Em] mean [C D]
[D] What that could [Em] mean [C D]
BRIDGE
[F#m] dread the nearing chill
and the freeze that will [G] come
But for now, it’s the breeze
and to it, I su- [F#m] ccumb

that comes with the [G] breeze
I feel the new freedom
I look to the [Em] leaves

[G6] (4 measure)
[G6] I know soon it will be over
[F#m] I know soon, the chill will fall
[G6] I know soon, I’ll lose this feeling
[F#m] and the life will leave us all
[G6] It doesn’t come slow and quiet
[F#] It doesn’t come as a thief in the night
[G6] It doesn’t come as a whisper
[F#] It thunders in with the leave of the light
CHORUS
[Em] I feel the new freedom
I look to the [C] leaves
the aroma of [D] autumn
that comes with the [Em] breeze
[Em] It’s a quickening now

The change in my [D]spirit
and what that could [Em] mean
[Em] The sun going sooner

the dark bitter- [Em] sweet [C D]
It’s not the freeze
I look to the leaves
the smell on the breeze
I look to the leaves

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they’re blowing
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

[Verse 1]
If [D] you, if you could return
Don’t let it [A6] burn, don’t let it fade
I’m sure I might be [Cadd9] rude
But it’s just your attitude
It’s tearing me [G] apart
It’s ruining everything
And I [D] swore, I swore I would be true
And honey, so did [A6] you
So why were you holding her [Cadd9] hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the [G] time
Was it just a game to you
[Chorus]
But I’m in so [D] deep
You know I’m such a [A6] fool for you
You got me wrapped around your [Cadd9] finger
Do you have to let it [G] linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it [D] linger
[Verse 2]
Oh, I [A6] thought the world of you
I thought [Cadd9] nothing could go wrong
But I was [G] wrong, I was wrong
If [D] you, if you could get by
Trying not to [A6] lie
Things wouldn’t be so [Cadd9] confused
And I wouldn’t feel so used
But you always really [G] knew
I just wanna be with you
[Chorus]
But I’m in so [D] deep
You know I’m such a [A6] fool for you
You got me wrapped around your [Cadd9] finger
Do you have to let it [G] linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it [D] linger

But I’m in so [D] deep
