Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Tell me that you want me baby
Tell me that it's true
Say the magic words and I'd
Destroy the world for you
An army for the broken hearted
Marching through the streets
And everything is burning
To the ground under your feet
I wanna hold you
My skies are turning black
Feels like a heart attack
And I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
I'd melt the polar icecaps baby
And watch them flood the earth
I'd do anything to show you
What your love is worth
So won't you show me your devotion
To heal my aching heart
it's like a neutron bomb explosion
Tearing me apart
I wanna hold you
My skies are turning black
Feels like a heart attack
And I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
Attention please,
We interrupt this program
With some disturbing news
A worldwide evacuation
We're GOING TO LOSE
And they've pulverised the nation
I guess it shows us just what love can do
Guitar solo
I wanna hold you
My skies are turning black
Feels like a heart attack
And I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad, bad, bad
I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
2. Ive got you
Intro
Verse
The world would be a lonely place
Without the one who puts
A smile on your face
So hold me till the sun runs out
I won't be lonely when I'm down
Chorus
(Play main riff here)
Cause I've got you
To make me feel stronger
When the days are rough
And an hour seems much longer

I never doubted you at all
If stars collide
Will you stand by and watch them fall?
Right into my ear
Chorus
(Play main riff here)
Cause I've got you
To make me feel stronger

Yeah, when I've got you

When the nights are long
They'll be easier together

Looking in your eyes
Hoping they won't cry
Even if they do
I'll be in bed so close to you
To hold you through the night
You'll be unaware
But if you need me
(Pick Scrape)
Chorus
(Play main riff here)
Yeah, I've got you

They'll be easier together

5. Five colours in her hair
Do do do do do - do, Do do do do do - do,
Do do do do do, - do Doooo
She's got a lip ring with 5 colours in her hair
Not into fashion but I love the clothes she wears
Her tattoos always hidden by her under wear but you don't care
Everybody wants to know her nae - ae - ae - ame
I had a house party and she cae - ae - ae - ame
Everyone asked me who the hell is she,
weirdo with 5 colours in her hair
She's just a loner with a sexy attitude
I'd like to phone her cause she puts me in the mood
The rumours spreading round that she cooks in the nude but you don't
care, she don't care
Everybody wants to know her nae - ae - ae - ame
How does she cope with her new found fae - ae - ae - ame
Everyone asked me who the hell is she
That weirdo with 5 colours in her hair
Bridge
She was all I thought about The girl I couldn't live without
But then she went insane, she couldn't take the fame
She said I was to blame, she had had enough, and shaved 5 colours
off and now She's just a weirdo with no name
Everybody wants to know her nae - ae - ae - ame
I had a house party and she cae - ae - ae - ame
Everyone asked me who the hell is she,
weirdo with 5 colours in her hair
Do do do do do - do, Do do do do do - do,
Do do do do do, - do Doooo
6. too close for comfort
Intro
x2
Never meant the things i said to make you cry
Can I say I'm sorry?
It's hard to forget
Yes I regret
All these mistakes
I don't know why you're leaving me
But I know you must have your reasons
There's tears in your eyes
I watch as you cry
But it's getting late
Was I invading in on your secrets?
Was I too close for comfort?
You're pushing me out when i wanted in
What was I just about to discover?
When I got too close for comfort in driving you home
Guess ill never know
The way we scratched our names into the sand
And told me you loved me
And now that I find
That you've changed your mind
I'm lost for words
And everything I feel for you
I wrote down on one piece of paper
The one in your hand
You won't understand
How much it hurts to let you go
Was I invading in on your secrets?
Was I too close for comfort?
Your pushing me out when i wanted in
What was i just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort in driving you home
Cos I'll never know
All this time you've been telling me lies
Hidden in bags that are under your eyes
And when I asked you I knew I was right
but if you turn your back on me now
When I need you most
But you just let me down, down, down.
Won't you think about what your about to do to me
And back down
(played softly)
Was I invading in on your secrets?
Was I too close for comfort?
Your pushing me out when i wanted in
( and = single strum)
What was I just about to discover?
I got too close for comfort
Pushing me out when I wanted in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What was I just about to discover?
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I'll never know

8. that girl
Went out with the guys
And before my eyes
There was this girl
She looked so fine
We spoke for hours
Took off my trousers
Spent the day laughing in the sun
And we had fun
And my friends they all looked stunned yeah, yeah
Dude she's amazing
And I can't believe you got that girl
And my friends said (She's amazing, I can't believe...)
It gave me more street cred
I dug the book she read
And how could I forget
She rocks my world
More than any other girl yeah, yeah
Dude she's amazing and I can't believe you got that girl
And I can't believe you got the girl
She looked incredible
Just turned seventeen
I guess my friends are right
She's out of my league
So what am I to do
She's too good to be true
9. unsaid things
This girl that moved just down the road from me
She had the nicest legs i've ever seen
back then
she wrote me letters just to say she loved me
now her face is just a memory
now that
seven years have gone
and i've grown up but she's moved on
somehow i'm still holding on to her
I still got so many unsaid things that
i wanna say
and i just can't wait another day
i wish she knew
i still wait up wondering if she still
remembers me
but there's no way for me to know
(You just repeat the first part for this verse)
Now she's got pregnant with a baby
it feels like shes slipping away from me
now that
she's getting married i'm in misery
coz her fiance's so much bigger than me
coz he works out alot
and there's not much that he ain't got
and right now i'm losing the plot
along with her
(Just repeat the same as the chorus, it starts with: I still got so many unsaid things, and so on)
(I'm not sure if this is right for the break but just mess around with the chords until in sounds right)
And i want her to know
before she's married and has a baby
that i need her
Solo
I still got so many unsaid things that
i wanna say
and i just can't wait another day
i wish she knew
i still wait up wondering if she still
remembers me
but there's no way for me to know
10. ill be ok
Intro
When everything is going wrong
And things are just a little strange
Its been so long now you've forgotten how to smile
And overhead the skies are clear but it still seems to rain on you
And your only friends all have better things to do
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost along the way
Oh just tell yourself
Ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahh, I'll be ok
When things are only getting worse
And you need someone to take the blame
When your lover's gone there's no one to share the pain
You're sleeping with the tv on and you're lying in an empty bed
All the alcohol in the world would never help me through it again
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost along the way
Just try a little harder
Try your best to make it through the day
Oh just tell yourself
Ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahh, I'll be ok
Bridge
second guitar plays:
long lasting notes played in sequence with chords
You're not alone
[You're not alone]
You're not alone
[You're not alone]
You're not alone
Just tell yourself I'll, I'll be ok
Oh just tell yourself, I'll, I'll be ok
Won't you tell yourself, ahhhhhh ahhh ahhh ahhh
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost along the way
Try a little harder
Try your best to make it through the day
And oh just tell yourself
Ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahh, I'll be ok
Ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahh, I'll be ok
Ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahh, I'll be ok

Verse
You and I have got a lot in common

Always the last one in a long line
Waiting for something to turn out right, right

Just when I put away my jumper

I still refuse to be a skeptic
Cause I know I could still correct this
Maybe this will be my lucky night, night

Verse
Two years away
I got back today
Tried calling up this girl I used to know
But when I said hello
She didn't know
Just who the hell I was supposed to be
Chorus
Memory lane
We're here again
Back to the days
And I'll remember you always
So much has changed
Now it feels like yesterday I went away
Verse 2
The words around
That she moved town
About a thousand miles away from here
And I found something she wrote
A long time ago
And it reminds me of a place I know called
Chorus
Memory lane
We're here again
Back to the days
And I'll remember you always
So much has changed
Now it feels like yesterday I went away
So much has changed (so much has changed)
So much has changed (so much has changed)
So much has changed (so much has changed)
Down memory lane
We're here again
Back to the days
And I'll remember you always
So much has changed
Now it feels like yesterday I went away
So much has changed (so much has changed)
So much has changed (so much has changed)
So much has changed (so much has changed)
Down memory lane
