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 E B Deep Dwelling-Heck Hole A Only thing about it is the ones I love Deep Dwelling-Heck Hole Only thing about it is the ones I love E E B B Deep Dwelling-Heck Hole A A A A A Only thing about it is the ones I love Deep Dwelling-Heck Hole A *hold Only thing about it is the ones I love

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 03:26
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

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 06:53
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 JAM Stops STEP!!! back relax.....
