Standard (EADGBE)
When everything is going wrong
And things are just a little strange
It's been so long now you've forgotten how to smile
In 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 I, I'll be ok
Now things are only getting worse
And you need someone to take the blame
When the love has 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
Try a little harder
Try your best to make it through the day
Just tell yourself I, I'll be ok
Bflat
You're not alone
Bflat
You're not alone
Bflat
You're not alone
Just tell yourself I, I'll be ok
Just tell yourself I, I'll be ok
Bflat
Won't you tell yourself I
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
Just tell yourself I, I'll be ok
I, I'll be ok
I, I'll be ok
2.I've got you
Intro
x3
x4
The world would be a lonely place
Without the one that puts a smile on your face
So hold me 'til the sun burns out
I won't be lonely when I'm down
x4
'Cause I've got you to make me feel stronger
When the days are rough and an hour feels much longer
I never doubted you at all
If stars collide, will you stand by and watch them fall?
So hold me 'til the sky is clear
And whisper words of love right into my ear
x8
'Cause I've got you to make me feel stronger
When the days are rough and an hour feels much longer
Yeah when I got you
Oh to make me feel better
When the nights are long they'll be easier together
Looking in your eyes
Hoping they won't cry
And even if you do
I'll be in bed so close to you
Hold you through the night
And you'll be unaware
But if you need me I'll be there
x4
till end
Yeah I got you
Oh to make me feel stronger
When the days are rough and an hour feels much longer
Yeah when I got you to make me feel better
When the nights are long they'll be easier together
Oh when I got you

4.The ballad of Paul K.
He´s drinking cold Corona, feels like he's getting older
Now and noticing how he's finding
grey hairs left in the shower, tattoos fade by the hour
And he can't understand these feelings
Why life is getting hom down,
he used to smile now he frowns, and cries inside
It's been this way for a while, and he can't seem to put things right
chourus
When life has been unkind
And you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side
He doesn't like to mention, applying for his pension
so his children don't know he's heading
into a mid-lifer cricis, he can't afford the prices
for the new kitchen floor he's buying
He's been a drunk of his life
two kids a dog and a wife, he doesn't know
And in the daytime he just sits and watches television shows
chourus
When life has been unkind
And you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side
Don't know wy but somehow,the ones you love you hate now
You feel down and blue
Look at what you've thrown away
They stood beside you all the way
Now it's too late, it's too late for you
chourus
When life has been unkind
And you're losing your mind
Look in the mirror afraid of what you'll find
It feels like time's not on your side
5.I wanna hold you
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
Chords for 2nd verse are identical to 1st.
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
Chords for chorus are the same again.
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
Chorus
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
6.Too close for confort
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

11.Nothing
Everything she says to me means nothing
Even words of sympathy means nothing
Feeling down and i hate the sound of nothing
Whats the point in hanging round for nothing
And i can't remember falling in love with you
This is agony, you know your putting me through
Chorus
This misery, taking every memory, just tell me why this
Misery wont go away
How can we carry on this way
Find it hard to hold a conversation
Being with her's just an aggravation
I would stay but i haven't got the patience
Sick of her pathetic explanations
And i can't remember falling in love with you
This is agony, you know your putting me through
Chorus
This misery, taking every memory, just tell me why this
Misery wont go away
How can we carry on this way
Intro
You never bring me down
Coz i'm so far above
You think you're strong
But your nothing to me now
I hope you will be happy
This time around
And i can't remember falling in love with you
This is agony, you know your putting me through
Chorus
This misery, taking every memory, just tell me why this
Misery wont go away
How can we carry on this way

But when I said hello, she didn't know
Who the hell I was supposed to be.

About a thousand miles away from here
I ran to get my bike, but it wasn't there.
My parents sold it at the summer fair.
