"welcome to the real world"
she said to me condescendingly
"take a seat, take your life
plot it out in black and white"
well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
and the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
is still hiding up my sleeve
Pre-chorus
they love [A6/9]to [Asus2type2]tell you "stay [A6/9]
in-[Asus2type2]side the lines_____"
but something's better on the other side_______
Chorus
I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to scream at the top of my lungs.
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise a-bove
Verse
so the good boys and girls take the so-called right track
faded white hats grabbing cred-its, maybe transfers
they read all the books but they can't find the answers
And all of our parents, they're getting old-er
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
while in their memories, tiny tragedies
Pre-chorus
they love [A6/9]to [Asus2type2]tell you "stay
[A6/9]in-[Asus2type2]side [Amaj9the lines_____"
but something's better on the other side_______

I want to run through the halls of my high school

I just can't wait for my ten year re-union
I'm gonna bust down the double doors

you will know what all this time was for
2. Why Georgia
Intro
I am driving up eighty-five in the
Dadd4 D6add4 *9
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
I'm just stuck inside the gloom
Four more exits to my apartment
Dadd4 D6add4 *9
But I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind
'Cause I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Why, why Georgia, why
I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Dadd4 D6add4 *9
Wood in places to make it feel like home
But all I feel's alone
D6add4 C6*9
It might be a quarter-life crisis
Or just the stirring in my soul
Either way
I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Why, why Georgia, why
So what so I've got a smile on
But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down
Everybody is just a stranger
But that's the danger in
Dadd4 *9
Going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
Still everything happens for a reason
Is no reason not to ask myself if I am
living it right
Am I living it right
Am I living it right
Why, tell me why
Why, why Georgia, why
3. My Stupid Mouth
MY STUPID MOUTH - JOHN MAYER
Verse 1
My stupid mouth Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change
Oh, a - nother social casualty Score one more for me
How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon
Verse 2
We bit our lips she looked out the window rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shak - er
And I could see clearly an indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try a -gain.
How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one
Chorus
I'm never speaking up a - gain
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a myste - ry
Than she de - sert me
Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Verse 3
One more thing why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be fun - ny
Looks like the jokes on me, so call me captain backfire
Oh, a - nother social casualty Score one more for me
How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon
4. Your Body Is A Wonderland
Intro
Verse 1
(chords of intro)
We've got the afternoon, You've got this room for two
One thing I've left to do, Discover me discovering you
One mile to every inch of, your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue
Bridge
And if you want love we'll make it
We'll swim in a deep sea of blankets
Take all your big plans and break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Chorus
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder I'll use my hands
Your body is a wonderland (Repeat)
Verse 2
[F - Csus4 - Bb - Csus4]
Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillow case
You tell me where to go though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed without my hand behind it (to bridge)
Bridge 2
Damn, baby You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

Like no one can

Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon

Who knows how long, how long, how long
(VI)
She can go before she burns away

I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows

I never liked this apple much
It always seemed too big to touch
I can't remember how I found
My way before she came around
I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before her name
She keeps a toothbrush at my place
As if I had the extra space
She steals my clothes to wear to work
I know - her hairs are on my shirts
I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before
The day
She called up and came to me
Covered in rain
And dinnertime shadowing
And as her clothes spun, we spooned
And I knew I was through
When I said "I love you"
Friday evening, we've been drinking
2 AM, I swear I might propose
but we close the tab
split a cab
and call each other up when we get home
falling asleep to the sound
of sirens
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
From the battery
To the gallery
It's the kind of thing you only see
In scented, glossy magazines
And I can't remember life before her name

"Was more like 1983.."
Intro
(1)
I have these dreams I'm walking home
home where it used to be
everything is as it was
frozen in front of me
Here I stand six feet small
romanticizing years ago
well it's a bittersweet feeling
hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio
(2) and these days
I wish I was six again
oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman
(3) oh if only my life was more like 1983
all these things would be more like they were at the start of me
I had it made in 83
(1)
thinking about my brother Ben
I miss him everyday
he looks just like his brother John
but on an eighteen month delay
here I stand six feet small
and smiling cause I'm scared as hell
kinda like your life is like a sequel to a movie
where the actors' names have changed
(2) well these days
I wish I was six again
oh make me a red cape
I wanna be Superman
(3) oh if only my life was more like 1983
all these things would be more like they were at the start of me
if my life was more like 1983
plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me
(4)
and most my memories have escaped me
or confused themselves with dreams
(5) if heaven's all they want it to be
send your prayers to me care of 1983
(Jam)
you can paint that house a rainbow of colors
rip out the floorboards
and replace the the shutters
but that's my plastic in the dirt
whatever happened to my
whatever happened to my
whatever happened to my lunchbox
when came the day when it got
thrown away and
don't you think I should have had some say in that decision
more like
more like
more like (7) 1983

Intro
/9 (M9)
mostly plucking- just pluck the strings in the chord and you'll be able to figure it out.
Im writing you to
Catch you up on places Ive been
You held this letter
Probably got excited, but theres nothing else inside it
Didnt have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when im
In the mood to lose my way with words
Repeat Intro
Today skies are painted colors of a cowboys cliche
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Are next to mountains anyway
Didnt have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when im
In the mood to lose my way with words
You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
Youll be with me next time I go outside
Just no more 3x5s
Repeat Intro
Today I finally overcame
Tryin to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when Im in the mood to
Lose my way but let me say
You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
Youll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5s
Just no more 3x5s
9. Love Song For No One
Intro , , , *, ,
Staying home alone on a Friday
flat on the floor looking back
on old love
or lack thereof
After all the crushes have faded
and all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it
I'm tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here get here
Intro chords
Searching all my days to find you
not sure what I'm looking for
I'll know where
when I see you
Until then I'll hide in my bedroom
just staying up all night just to write
a love song
for no one
I'm tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance and watched you walk away
I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance and watched you walk away
I'm tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
so hurry up and get here
You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me
I know you'll be so good
for me
for me

10. Back To You
Back To You by John Mayer
Intro
Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late
Over you
I'm never over
Over you
Something about you
It's just the way you move
The way you move me
Yeah
I'm so good at forgetting
And I quit every game I play
But forgive me, love
I can't turn or walk away
Back to you
It always come around
Back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
With your silhouette
Yeah
Should have smiled on that picture
If that's the last that I'll see of you
It's the least that you
Could not do
Adlib: --
Leave the light on
I'll never give up on you
Leave the light on
For me too
For me too
For me too
Yeah
Instrumental
Back to me
I know that it comes
Back to me
Doesn't it scare you
Your will is not as strong
As it used to be

(1) Check your pulse
Its proof that you're not listening to

Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors (004030)

The TV is a window pane
The view wont let you down

Depends on how far out you go
The channel numbers change
(3) Scared of the world outside you should go explore
Pull all the shades and wander the great indoors
(4) Though lately I can't blame you
I have seen the world
And sometimes wish your room had room for two
So go unlock the door
and find what you are here for
