I Like My Life Just Fine   Capo 5     C Am G  Chorus: Am G F G C

Woman: I hope you find someone who likes your brown eyes and crooked smile.  I hope you find someone who      laughs at all your jokes and finds you funny

Chorus: You take yours and I'll take mine, and we'll agree to pass the time. You on your way and me on mine,          I like my life just fine 

Man:   I hope you find someone who likes waltzing to the radio. I hope you find someone who knows how to let   you  go

Chorus: You take yours and I'll take mine, and we'll agree to pass the time. You on your way and me on mine,          I like my life just fine 

Woman/Man: I hope you find someone who likes talking late till two in the morning.  I hope you find someone who'll always agree with your point of view

Chorus: You take yours and I'll take mine, and we'll agree to pass the time. You on your way and me on mine,          I like my life just fine

Both simultaneously, or Man, then Woman: I hope I find someone who won't disagree with all the ways I like to be   I hope I find someone who will see all the beauty that's inside of me.

Chorus: You take yours and I'll take mine, and we'll agree to pass the time. You on your way and me on mine,          I like my life just fine 

 

Rocking Chair        Capo 2   G C Chorus Am C D  G C D C

The rocking chair stands empty now   The old quilt lies tattered on the shelf  Sometimes I think the ghost of you   Still sits there rocking      And if you were still sittin there  What are the words of wisdom you would share  And as the days pass into years I still miss you   Here

Where did you go?   I want you to know    I'll never forget, the way you'd hold me and I'll never forget the things you'd show me and I'll never forget your hands so old 

The rocking chair stands empty now  I've wrapped the old quilt around myself   Can I approach the love you held   If I were to sit here, rocking?    Can you know the love I felt   And all the times I needed your help  When will I grow enough to pass it on

Where did you go?   I want you to know    I'll never forget, the way you'd hold me and I'll never forget the things you'd show me and I'll never forget your hands so old 

 

When We Waltz     D A G

When we waltz, when we waltz, when we waltz   I don't want to feel the way I feel   Your arms holding me tight, spinning me around the floor   I can't help but feel the way I feel.     I hope you can't hear the catch in my breath   When you twirl me, twirl me, twirl me around   And when you say to me "oh how I like waltzing with you"    I hope you can't see inside of me I don't want you to know how I feel  Because when you ask me to dance You know I can't say no 

Chorus: When we waltz, when we waltz, when we waltz, I can't feel my feet hit the ground  My heart is in your hands, When we waltz, when we waltz

So take me into your arms gently Because I'm feeling a little bit fragile I hope you can't see my face  When you twirl me around Won't you take me into your arms again I don't want this dance to end

 Chorus: When we waltz, when we waltz, when we waltz, I can't feel my feet hit the ground  My heart is in your hands, When we waltz, when we waltz

 

Waiting     Capo 2  A D E A  Chorus E D A E  Bridge F#m D A E

Waiting for a phone call   Waiting for the axe to fall   Oh I don't like waiting at all   Waiting for a sign of life   Waiting for sign of the times   Oh I don't like waiting at all

 Chorus: I wanna grab the world by the reigns I wanna take a ride in the fast lane oh  I ain't got time to wait for change  'Cause life is what passes by  When you're sitting in the by and by and  I don't think that I can wait today

So give me a phone call  Put me beneath the axe that falls  Oh I don't like waiting at all  Show me a sign of life  Show me a sign of the times  Oh I don't like waiting at all

Chorus: I wanna grab the world by the reigns I wanna take a ride in the fast lane oh  I ain't got time to wait for change  'Cause life is what passes by  When you're sitting in the by and by and  I don't think that I can wait today

 Bridge:  Won't you give me what I'm waiting for  'Cause I don't believe that less is always more  Not when it's my life that's on the line  Oh I don't think that I can spare the time

Repeat first verse

Repeat chorus

 

 Cindy

My name is Cindy and I grew the coal  That settled in your heart black and cold  Oh and the promise we made  Shattered like the door I slammed on my way out of town  Oh, but you never knew the pain I held  For a life of love kept on the shelf  And the hearts I climbed on to get out of this hole  And I feel my soul getting deeper

Chorus:  This is a love letter too late  To say I'm sorry for the trouble I made  I think this hole I'm digging is getting deeper  I think it's gonna bury me

My name is Cindy and I grew the coal  That settled in your heart black and cold  I built me a mountain of souls  To fill up this hole I hold  Oh and you're just an unlucky one  Who thought he could hold me and make us one  Well I guess we both hold this sorrow

Chorus:  This is a love letter too late  To say I'm sorry for the trouble I made  I think this hole I'm digging is getting deeper  I think it's gonna bury me

 

I Need a Light      Capo 3 G C  G C D  Chorus G D C G 

What does it mean  If I don't want to sing  If I don't feel a melody  In my heart right now  What does it mean  When you talk that way  When you look that way At me

Chorus: I need a light   A beacon of some kind  I need a light  To show me where I'm going  I need a light   A signal fire or something  To show me my way home

What does it mean  When the signs point that way  When the signs point the wrong way  From where I'm goin'?  What does it mean  When I won't grow up to be  The person everyone's  Expecting of me?

 Chorus: I need a light   A beacon of some kind  I need a light  To show me where I'm going  I need a light   A signal fire or something  To show me my way home

What does it mean  When I can't feel a thing From all the days  That pass by me  What does it mean  When I can't find the answers  That I need  To set me in line?

Chorus: I need a light   A beacon of some kind  I need a light  To show me where I'm going  I need a light   A signal fire or something  To show me my way home

 

Washes You Away  Am G    Em C D G

You never could let go of  The things you never wanted  Like chains around your ankles you  Made them feel     Until one day they up and walked away  And you found you missed the weight  I'm getting married now  Let's hear what you have to say

Chorus:  Tell me that you miss me and that you'll always love me  Tell me that you'll hold a place for me    Drop a few more words in the river  That washes you away from me

Some people are collectors of stones  They pluck them from the river  To some the idea of having stones  Is more attractive than the beauty they hold  You're feeling lonely and sad  Have you come to face the fate that you hold

Chorus:  Tell me that you miss me and that you'll always love me  Tell me that you'll hold a place for me    Drop a few more words in the river  That washes you away from me

 

You Can't Get There From Here

The man in the red baseball cap  He looked at me with a sideways glance  And said "you can't get there from here"  You can't get there from here       30 minutes late, double yellow line  I'm behind the slowest guy in line   Singing "you can't get there from here"  You can't get there from here      Pedal to the floor, old farm truck  I'm gonna need just a little luck if I  Wanna get there from here  If I want to get there from here

Chorus: Break me momma I don't wanna go  It ain't worth gettin mad I know  I'm gonna turn around, turn around, turn around  And go back home  I'm gonna turn around, turn around turn around and  Go back home

Possum struttin on the road side  I sure hope that he thinks twice  If he wants to get there from here  If he wants to get there from here     Why'd the chicken cross the road  Oh I think that we all know  He just wants to get there from here woh , oh oh oh  He just wants to get there from here

Chorus: Break me momma I don't wanna go  It ain't worth gettin mad I know  I'm gonna turn around, turn around, turn around  And go back home  I'm gonna turn around, turn around turn around and  Go back home

The stars are out, moon is high  Oh I think that I won't cry  If I can't get there from here  If I can't get there from here, wo oh oh oh oh I can't get there from here  I can't get there from here.

 

Blue Moon (Do You Burn?)    E A   F#m A E    

Will I see you tonight beneath the light  Of the blue moon  Will you come through the back door  That I left open for you  Will you make good on the promise you made  In the glance you gave  Or will you make me wait  In sweet anticipation 

Chorus:  Do you burn, do you burn, like I do  When you walk by  Do you burn, do you burn, like I do

I told you I didn't need a new man  You said you needed time to be you  Ooh but babe, the sparks we made  Make me think we'll eat our words soon

Chorus:  Do you burn, do you burn, like I do  When you walk by  Do you burn, do you burn, like I do

Will I see you tonight beneath the light  Of the blue moon  Will you come through the back door  That I left open for you  Will you make good on the promise you made  In the glance you gave  Or will you make me wait  In sweet anticipation of you

Chorus:  Do you burn, do you burn, like I do  When you walk by  Do you burn, do you burn, like I do

 

Save the World    C Em D G  Chorus: Em C D G Bridge: Am D G C  Capo 2

When Billy was growing up he said  I want to be superman  I'm gonna eat my spinach and be strong I  Wanna save the world       When Jenny was 3 years old she  Picked a bird fallen from the nest  She raised it till it could fly she said  I want to save the world

Chorus: Where are you now, you childhood dreamers?  We need you to save us somehow  Throw the dust off of your dreams  And save the world

When I was in school I  Thought I'd be a scientist  Or maybe president or at least  I'd save the world            Oh how we mourn the loss of  Those school kid dreams  Of who we thought we'd be  When we thought we'd save the world

Bridge:  But we sit and wait   And watch the days go by us  But you know those dreams are  Still inside us      It's up to you, it's up to me it's up to us  Wooo oh oh oh  Come on, come on, wo oh oh let's save the world!

If we took the will of   All those school kid dreams  Dragged them from beneath the dirt oh  We could save the world      So look back to the days when  You were three feet tall  And do what you thought you would  When you thought you'd save the world

Chorus: Where are you now, you childhood dreamers?  We need you to save us somehow  Throw the dust off of your dreams  And save the world

When billy was growing up he said  I want to be superman  I'm gonna eat my spinach and be strong  I wanna save the world.
