Standard (EADGBE)
Are you aware of what you make me feel baby
Right now I feel invisible to you like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you why'd you turn away
Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there waiting outside there grinning with the lost stare
That's when I decided
Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Am I just some chick you place beside you to take somebody's place
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me you used to hug me but that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't okay
I was left to cry there waiting outside there grinning with the lost stare
That's when I decided
Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Cryin' out loud I'm cryin out loud
Cryin' out loud I'm cryin out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide
Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone
Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip I'm losing my grip and I'm in this thing alone

3.Sk8er Boi
Intro
Verse
He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk, and she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell,
Secretly she wanted him as well.
But all of the friends, stuck up their nose,
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.
Chrous: (use these chords during the chorus)
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy,
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in spaces,
She needed to come back down to earth
Verse
Five years from now, she sits at home,
Feeding the baby she's all alone.
She turns on TV, guess who she sees,
Skater boy rockin' up MTV.
She calls up her friends, they already know,
They've all got tickets to see his show.
She tags along, and stands in the crowd,
Looks up at the man that she turn dooowwnnnn.
Chorus
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy,
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy,
He wasn't good enough for her.
Now he's a superstar, slammin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Interlude
(use same chords as the chorus)
Sorry girl but you missed out,
Well tough luck that boy's mine now.
We are more than just good friends,
This is how the story ends.
Too bad that you couldn't see,
See the man that boy could be.
There is more than meets the eye,
I see the soul that is inside.
Verse
He's just a boy, and I'm just a girl,
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk,and she did ballet
We are in love, haven't you heard?
How we rock each other's world?
Chorus
I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy,
I'll be back stage after the show.
I'll be at out studio, singing the song he wrote,
About the girl you used to know.
I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy,
I'll be back stage after the show.
I'll be at out studio, singing the song he wrote,
About the girl you used to know.
3. Im With You

Won't somebody come take me home

5. Mobile
Went back home again, this sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around, turn my back on everything
Turn my back on everything
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Start back at this life, stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm wakin' up to say I'm tried, instead of waking up to another TV Guide
It's time now to turn around, turn and walk on this crazy ground
Ohh everything
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile
I'm a mobile
Hanging from the ceiling, life's a mobile
Spinning around with mixed feelings, crazy and wild
And sometimes I wanna scream out loud
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control
Everything's changing everywhere I go
Out of what I know, yeah yeah yeah
La la la la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la
La la la la la la, la la
La la la la la la
Everything's changing when I turn around
All out of my control I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile
Everywhere I go I'm a mobile
6. Unwanted
Intro
(Stanza 1)
All they did was walk over, start all off by shaking your hands
That's how it went, I have a smile on my face and I sat up straight
All yeah yeah I wanted to know ya I wanted to show you
(Chorus)
You don't know me, don't ignore me
You don't want me there you just shut me out
You don't know me, don't ignore me
If you had your way you'd just shut me out
Make me go away
I'm so unwanted
(stanza 2)
No I just don't understand Why you won't talk to me
It hurts I'm so unwanted from nothing Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know ya, I wanted to show you
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
I tried give all it didn't seem wrong, my head aches
It's been so long I write this song, that's what it takes
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
7. Tomorrow
And I wanna believe you, when you tell me that it will be okay
Yeah I try to believe you, But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be, it always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you, not today
Today today today today
I don't know how I feel, tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say, tomorrow, tomorrow is a different day
It's always been up to you, it's turning around it's up to me
I'm gonna do what I have to do, just don't
Give me a little time, leave me alone a little while
Maybe it's not too late, not today

8. Anything But Ordinary
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rahter be anything but ordinary please.
Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful
accident turbulent suculent
opulent permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby
Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

- xx0232 || - x32010
- x02200 ||
I'm tugging at my hair, I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool, I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet, my cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head
I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it, yeah
If I could say what I want to say, I say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night, am I squeezing you too tight
If I can say what I wanna see, I wanna see you go down on one knee
Marry me today, guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good, it's just a waste of time
What use is it to you what's on my mind
If it ain't comin out, we're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
Cause I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it, yeah
If I could say what I want to say, I say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night, am I squeezing you too tight
If I can say what I wanna see, I wanna see you go down on one knee
Marry me today, guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
What's wrong with my tongue, these words keep slipping away
I stutter I stumble, like I've got nothing to say
Cause I'm feeling nervous, tryin' to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it, yeah
Guess I'm wishin my life away
With these things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say, I say I want to blow you away
Be with you every night, am I squeezing you too tight
If I can say what I wanna see, I wanna see you go down on one knee
Marry me today, guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
These things I'll never say
10. My World
Intro
Please tell me what is taking place,
Cause I can't seem to find a trace
Guess it must have got erased somehow
Probably cause I always forget,
everytime someone tells me their name
It's always gotta be the same (In my world)
Never wore cover up,
always beat the boys up
Grew up in a 5000 population town
Made my money by cutting grass,
got fired by a fried chicken ass
All in a small town Napanee
(Refrain)
You know I always stay up without sleeping
And think to myself
Where do I belong forever
In who's arms the time and place
(Chorus)
Can't help it if I space in a daze
My eyes tune out the other way
I may switch off and go in a daydream
In this head my thoughts are deep
And sometimes I can't even speak
Would someone be and not pretend I'm off again in my world
(Do Intro)
I never spend less than an hour,
washing my hair in the shower
It always takes five hours to make it straight
So I'll braid it in a zillion braids,
so it may take all friggin' day
There's nothing else better to do anyway
(Refrain 2)
When you're all alone in the lands of forever
Lay under the milkyway
On and on it's getting too late out
I'm not in love this time this night
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude
It takes some time Mellow out,
party it up But don't fall down
Don't get caught sneak out of the house
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
11. Nobodys Fool
Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see
I'm for real, I'll feel what only I can feel and if that don't appeal to ya
Let me know, and I'll go, cause I flow better when my colours show
And that's the way it has to be, honestly
Cause creativity could never bloom in my room, I'd throw it all away before I lie
So don't call me with the compromise, hang up the phone, I got a backbone
Stronger than yours
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Yeah yeah yeah yeah...
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you want to bring me down
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try
You don't know you think you know me like yourself
But I fear that you're only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn, understand that I can't not be what I am
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
It's not as simple here we go not so soon, I might have fallen for that
When I was 14 and a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean
Ohhhhhhh
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you want to bring me down
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try
Ohhhhhh
Go ahead and try, try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside, until you realize
Things are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you, I don't need your doubt in me
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
I'm not nobody's fool
If you want to bring me down
Go ahead and try, try
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, ohhhhh
But you'll be laughing out loud, if I played to my own crowd
Try
Go ahead and try
12. Too Much To Ask
[G/f#]
It's the first time I ever felt this lonely
[G/f#]

[G/f#]

[G/f#]
Up until the point you didn't call me when you said you would

Everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feelin sorry for yourself

[G/f#]
[G/f#]
[G/f#]
Thought you'd come around when I ignored you
[G/f#]
So I thought you'd have the decency to change
But babe I guess you didn't take that warning
[G/f#]
Cause I'm not about to look at your face again
Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
[G/f#]
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here
But everytime I try to make you smile
You'd always go off feelin' sorry for yourself
[G/f#]
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You stand like a stone
Alone in your zone
Is that too much that I'm asking for?
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Can't find where I am, a lying here alone I fear
Afraid of the dark, no one to claim, alone again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't you see that you lie to yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
[G/f#]
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I, I am still here
But everytime I try to make you smile
You're always feelin' sorry for yourself
[G/f#]
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't you're too tough
You think you're loveless
It was too much that I'm ask him for
[G/f#]

13. Naked
Intro
I wake up in the morning, put on my face
The one that's gonna get me, through another day
Doesn't really matter, how I feel inside
This life is like a game sometimes
Then you came around me, the walls just disappeared
Nothing to surround me, keep me from my
Fears, I'm unprotected, see how I've opened up
Oh you've made me trust
Cause I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you does it show
You see right through me and I can't hide
I'm naked around you and it feels so right
I'm trying to remember why I was
Afraid to be myself and let the covers fall
Away I guess I never had someone like you
To help me fit in my skin
I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you does it show
You see right through me and I can't hide
I'm naked around you and it feels so right
I'm naked
Oh oh yeah does it show
Yeah I'm naked ohh ohh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
Oh oh
I'm naked around you, does it show
I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide, you're gonna, you're gonna see right
Through, you're gonna see right through, oh yeah yeah
I'm so naked around you
And I can't hide, you're gonna see right through baby
