Thank You
E7 x 3 Cm7 Cbm7
Verse 1:
Tryin’ times, so hard these days
To get a little bit, to come your way
Hey big man, set your head straight
Don’t try so hard sit back
You got you Lady, she’s stuck on you
Look around boy, you got your family too
Your guitar, you play it true
Don’t try so hard sit back
Chorus:
Say thank you for what you did
Say thank you for what you did
Say thank you for what you did
Maybe she’ll flip a bitch and say
Your welcome, but I don’t know what I did
Your welcome, but I don’t know what I did
Your welcome, but I don’t know what I did
Relax, take a chew, just say
Thank You
Verse 2:
When you’re
Lookin’ at the ground moping around downtown
You try to lift the frown but your broke down
If only someone can just beat into your head
Don’t try so hard sit back
You can’t let them make your mind up for you
Or maybe I’ll do it too and I can just follow you
To your guns you must stick too
Or maybe you just need a smack….POW
Chorus 2:
Then you’ll say
Thank you, for what you did
Thank you, for what you did
Thank you, for what you did
Maybe she’ll flip a bitch and day
You’re welcome but I don’t know what I did
You’re welcome but I don’t know what I did
You’re welcome but I don’t know what I did

Clear My Head
E
Today was tough, man I’m so tired
B
Called some guy an ass, almost got mine fired
A E
I could use a drink to clear my head
A shot of tequila with salt and lime
To feel fine enough to do it one more time
Yea that drink should clear my head
Clear my head, start over again
Like hitting reset but still playing the game
With the future looming far away
I sit back, relax and enjoy my day
Clear my head, start over again
Its only a problem if you think about it
Half a century until im dead
But now, for now, right now im gonna clear my head
*stop
Still drunk from last night, my lifes a mess
I cant pay my rent and got bills to my chest
I could use a vacation to clear my head
Take the long drive to Tennessee
if they sold trips to space I would buy the first seat
Some time with my friends should help to clear my head
When I get home
Im gonna fix it all
Every glitch in the system
Mismatched sock in the drawer
Gonna explore my heart body and mind
But for the moment burn the minute pass the time
Clear my head, start over again
Like hitting reset but still playing the game
With the future looming far away
I sit back, relax and enjoy my day
Clear my head, start over again
Its only a problem if you think about it
Half a century until im dead
But I guess I can worry about then
E E B B B
This town is so dry but I need something I can savor
A A A A A
Something with sustenance, texture and flavor
E E B B B
So brother if you can you please do me a favor
A *stop
Lift me up while im down or forever I will waver in this

Only thing about it is the ones I love

Early early morning, gotta get up and make some money

Walking in a saturated cloud, can’t get my mind off anything but money

If only I could find a way to pay
My way through college, start a business, or write that one hit song with this paycheck

For just a dollar I can dream of money

Save my money!

Always Fall Apart
Verse 1
Sail Away, see you upon your return
Although your souls gone far, you left your heart here with me
And as I hold it to mine, I feel it beat but something’s missing
Kissing your face I pine, I feel fine but I’m going crazy
I’m fallin apart
You have something I need and its my sanity
Woah deep inside my heart I can’t go on
Ooh while your gone, come here and catch me
Cause I can’t hang around
I always fall apart when I’m not with you
I always fall apart when I’m not with you
Without you, my head is hollow
My pulse is off the charts
So baby, just don’t depart
Without you I’m fallin apart
Verse 2
And if I may I ask you a question
It might sound a little silly
Next time you pack your suitcase
Can you save some space for me
I can occupy your mind, with a little bit of love and laughter
Stick together side by side, and enjoy each others stupidity
Bridge
But you don’t wanna know what would happen
If I should ever sleep alone again
I will wait for you till my watch breaks in five
I’m not alive if I cant have it, without you I’m stranded
I always fall apart when I’m not with you
I always fall apart when I’m not with you
Without you, my head is hollow
My pulse is off the charts
So baby, don’t go away
Without you I’m fallin apart
When will you get here
Oh honey you’re so fine
When will you get here
I can’t wait till you’re mine mine mine mine mine mine
Verse 3
Let me tell you a little something about this lady Im leaving
Her eyes as blue as the sky, I just want to fly
Now I’m halfway around the world, and all I do is see her
Even when I close my eyes, Im feelin her vibe
And I always fall in love, every time I see you
I always fall in love, every time I see you
No longer again will I wallow, I will always rise above
I’m all put back together, I’m with you and I’m fallin in love

Buzzkills
Standing in line, waiting to see the show
Just got my ticket on the corner, I’m ready to go
Grab my buzz at the bar, sittin’ higher than those guys in the nose bleeds
Go find my seat, start talking to the guy sittin next to me. I said..
I have been waitin around for so long
They rock so hard this band these guys
Put a chubby in my pants and tears in my eyes
But I’m a little freaked, this crowd looks crazy to me
It’s gonna be a head buttin’ teeth kickin’ stinky sweating treat
I’m telling you boy, this is gonna be sweet
And then the
House lights go black, band comes on stage
Got my shirt wrapped around my head like a bandanna, I’m ready to rage
But it did not take long, about halfway through the first song
Some guy starts talking shit, telling me to sit
I turned my drunk ass around and I said hey
I have been waiting around for so long
To see this band, now you’re tryin to tell me that I can’t stand
What an odd demand
So lose that prissy frown, you cant rock out while your sitting down
We’re not sitting through church or watching tv
And you are not the boss for me
But I paid 50 bucks for my ticket
Turns out, this is my piece of real estate right here
And I can do with it, whatever the hell I please, so deal with it!
Here’s what I did…
I got up
I shook my butt, I walked in place, I pumped my fist, he sat in shame
‘Bout three songs in, crowd sees my face, stand up get down]
Now which ones lame?
Not me. Cause I just gave my section a shock
I’m not here to take notes, or be lazy
I’m here to be free now STAND UP WITH ME AND ROCK!
Cause I have been waiting around for so long
To see this band, now you’re tryin to tell me that I can’t stand
What an odd demand
So lose that prissy frown, you cant rock out while your sitting down
We’re not sitting through church or watching tv
And you are not the boss for me
For all you buzzkills like the one behind me that night
Put down your fists brother
I’m just here to dance, I ain’t tryin’ to fight
You think its such a hassle that you can’t see
You’re better off going to the very last row
Before you piss off a guy like me! Because…
I have been waiting around for so long
To see this band, now you’re tryin to tell me that I can’t stand
What an odd demand
If you like your seat, you should just go home and watch the DVD
We’re not sitting through church or watching tv
And you are not the boss for me
Cause I have been waitin’ around
And I will not sit down
I can’t keep waitin’ around
And I will not sit down

Walkin’ walkin’ walkin’
Walkin’ walkin’ walkin’
JAM Gm-C
Should have known when I first met you
Bet you can’t match me cause Im gonna keep on walkin
I should have known right from the start
You were gonna dig deep in my heart
So I guess I’ll keep on walkin

Before I get walkin
But no time for talkin, my plans concocting
Get along lil’ doggy keep walkin

I Get It, You're Gone
03:21

I get it
I get it you’re gone
I get it
Your leading me on
It felt so real
Right off the tip of my fingers
The same sweet song
Singin all all day long
What I love is the love of our love
Of what we had together
Still Im not quite sold
On what jumped in our way
I get it
I get it you’re gone
I get it
Your leading me on
What went wrong
Its amazing how a message can linger
Its too bad I never took the time to leave one
Whats so hard is the part
When I ponder paths possibly taken
And it takes its toll on me
Every day
chorus
I could write you a letter
Send a picture, probably better
Take you for beer and fries, straight up apolagize
But it don’t matter one bit
Don’t matter one bit
Got your smile painted on
But in your heart, you’re already gone
That’s it im done
Pretty sure I said that last month
Down the lonely road
I start dreaming and pick up the phone
Leave a message right after the tone
No need cause your most likely home
Just keep on going
Going Going Gone

The Journey
Sunrise
A new day has bloomed
It’s just me, the whole world my room
Time for me to be free
And do forever what pleases me
Free to change, free to choose
What you and me do
And I said “There’s nothing that can stop us”
And you said “You got more to lose than gain”
And I said “This journey’s short, not regrettable
And I left, with a long road ahead
Sunshine, alone in a field
I’m makin cash and I’m feelin flashy
Shining like steel
He mister nice to meet ya what’s your name
Well I guess it didn’t matter anyway
Before a drop of sweat could hit the ground
I’d been found, I was caught
No sunrise
In this 8 foot brick room
Everything I had to lose is lost
Regret sets the mood
A little voice inside my head
Whispers get cozy you’re not going anywhere
Write a letter, tell them you’ll try
It’s gonna make your momma cry
Then I said “There’s no way, I’ll do anything”
And he said “You should have listened to your friend”
And I said “God help me get on my feet again”
And I slept with that prayer in my head
They told me not to ride on, but I listened to that greedy man inside
They told me there’s a chance of fate, but I knew that I could take it all in stride
They told me it’d be dangerous, they told me not to hurry
I said “I’ll see you at the finish line” I told them not to worry
Now there gone
I said don’t worry now there gone
Sunrise
Alone in my room
Please please please
Let this not be my doom
Will my plea set me free
Will I flee and see the people who love me
I wait and wait and wait
Can’t wipe my own tears from my face
When I said “ I wont take life for granted”
He said “I can see that you have bled”
And I said…..THANK YOU
I leave, and I cry
When I see the sunshine x 8
I remember the journey

Been Here Before
C-Em-Am-G
Where did the sun go
From underneath your eyes
why does your body quiver
when I hold you tight
memories of a perfect moonlit night
remember how it used to be alright
Am G
But now, I’m so frustrated
Cause now, its so complicated
Right now, I can barely take it
F G
Some how, we're gonna make it
Verse 1
C-Em-Am-G
We know its simple, to stand up and jump to a conclusion
Pack your stuff and stomp right out the door
But prior to proposing this ultimatum
think back way back we’ve been here before
Am G
But my chest is beating
Right now, at the thought of you leaving
Somehow, if we could get through the night
F G
It might end this fight, the simple answer's not right so...
Chorus
Step back, relax, asses the situation
Take a moment, take a breath, put your feet on the floor
Lax off, give me slack, accept this invitation
To take time, rewind, we've been here before
Roll back, back-track, avoid this indecision
Last time I told you why to leave your bags at the door
Step back, relax, accept this invitation
To take time, rewind, we've been here before
Verse 2
Im gonna try not to start the phase of self-destruction
No calls and you wont here me whine anymore
But maybe someday, we can meet at a junction
And figure out a way to function
Am
But for now, Im shredded to pieces
Cause now, I got to trust your feelings
So now, I'm gonna feed my head
And hope when I get home, you're drunk and in my bed
Chorus
