Blank Space

[Verse]

G
Nice to meet you where you been
Em
I can show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven sin

Saw you there and I thought
C
Oh my God, look at that face

You look like my next mistake
D7sus4 D
Love’s a game, want to plaaaaay?

G
New money, suit and tie
Em
I can read you like a magazine

Ain't it funny rumors fly

And I know you heard about
C
Me so hey, lets be friends

I'm dying to see how this one ends
D
Grab your passport and my hand
C D
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend


[Chorus]

G Em
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over mmm
Am
If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
G
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game

G
Cause we're young and we're reckless
Em
We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Am
Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
C N.C. G
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name


[Verse]

G
Cherry lips, crystal skies
Em
I could show you incredible things

Stolen kisses, pretty lies
C
You're the king baby I'm your queen

Find out what you want

Be that girl for a month
D7sus4 D
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no

G
Screaming crying perfect storms
Em
I can make all the tables turn

Rose garden filled with thorns

Keep you second guessing
C
Like "Oh my god who is she?"

I get drunk on jealousy
D
But you'll come back each time you leave
C N.C.
Cause darlin' I'm a nightmare, dressed like a daydream


[Chorus]

G Em
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over, mm
Am
If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
G
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game

G
Cause we're young and we're reckless
Em
We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Am
Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane (insane)
C N.C.
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name


[Bridge]

G
Boys only want love if it's torture

Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you
G
Boys only want love if it's torture
G N.C.
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn you


[Chorus]

G Em
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

You can tell me when it's over mmm
Am
If the high was worth the pain

Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
G
Cause you know I love the players and you love the game


Cause we're young and we're reckless
Em
We'll take this way too far

It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Am
Or with a nasty scar

Got a long list of ex-lovers
C
They'll tell you I'm insane
C N.C.
But I got a blank space baby and I'll write your name

[Verse]
D                G
Early in the morning
D                G
Risin' to the street
D                   G
Light me up that cigarette 
        D                G
And I strap shoes on my feet
D                G
Got to find a reason 
   D                  G    
A Reason things went wrong
D               G
Got to find a reason 
         D           G
why my money's all gone
D           G
I got a dalmatian 
D                   G
And I can still get high
D                 G
I can play the guitar 
          D           G
Like a motherfuckin' riot

[Verse]
       D                       G
Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got
            D
Cause you might get run over
         G
or you might get shot
D
Never start no static
        G
I just get it off my chest
D
Never had to battle with no
   G
bulletproof vest 
D
Take a small example 
        G
Take a tip from me

Take all of your money

Give it up to charity

Love is what I got 
      G
It's within my reach
D 
And the Sublime style's
        G
Still straight from Long Beach

It all comes back to you 
               G
You'll finally get what you deserve

Try and test that
     G
Your bound to get served
D
Love's what I got
       G
Don't start a riot
D
You'll feel it when
   G
the dance get's hot

          D
(That's) why I don't cry
        G
When my dog runs away
  D
I Don't get angry 
        G
At the bills I have to pay
   D
I don't get angry
         G
When my mom smokes pot
D
Hits the bottle 
     G
And goes right to the rock

D                           G
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
D                            G
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
D                G                   D
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

Escape (Pina Colada Song)

C | Em D C | Am | G | D Am7 G | Dm
C | Em D C | Am | G | Bm7 C G |


C Em D C
I was tired of my lady,
Am G D Am7 G
we'd been together too long
D C Em D C
like a worn out recording
Am G Bm7 C G
of a favorite song.

Dm C Em D C
So while she lay there sleepin'
Am G D Am7 G
I read the paper in bed
Dm C Em D C
and in the personal columns
Am G Bm7 C G
there was this letter I read.


C Em D C
If you like piña coladas
Am G D Am7 G
and gettin' caught in the rain
Dm C Em D C
if you're not into yoga
Am G Bm7 C G
if you have half a brain

Dm C Em D C
if you like makin' love at midnight
Am G D Am7 G
in the dunes of a cape
Dm C Em D C
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Am G Bm7 C G
write to me and escape.


C | Em D C | Am | G | D Am7 G | Dm
C | Em D C | Am | G | Bm7 C G |


C Em D C
I didn't think about my lady,
Am G D Am7 G
I know that sounds kind of mean
Dm C Em D C
But me and my old lady
Am G Bm7 C G
had fallen into the same old dull routine

Dm C Em D C
So I wrote to the paper,
Am G D Am7 G
took out a personal ad
Dm C Em D C
And though I'm nobody's poet,
Am G Bm7 C G
I thought it wasn't half bad.


C Em D C
Yes, I like piña coladas
Am G D Am7 G
and getting caught in the rain
Dm C Em D C
I'm not much into health food,
Am G Bm7 C G
I am into champagne

Dm C Em D C
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
Am G D Am7 G
and cut through all this red tape
Dm C Em D C
At a bar called O'Malley's
Am G Bm7 C G
where we'll plan our escape.


C | Em D C | Am | G | D Am7 G | Dm
C | Em D C | Am | G | Bm7 C G |


C Em D C
So I waited with high hopes
Am G D Am7 G
and she walked in the place
Dm C Em D C
I knew her smile in an instant,
Am G Bm7 C G
I knew the curve of her face

Dm C Em D C
It was my own lovely lady
Am G D Am7 G
and she said, "Aw, it's you."
Dm C Em D C
Then we laughed for a moment
Am G Bm7 C G
and I said, "I never knew."


C Em D C
That you like piña coladas
Am G D Am7 G
and gettin' caught in the rain
Dm C Em D C
And the feel of the ocean
Am G Bm7 C G
and the taste of champagne

Dm C Em D C
If you like making love at midnight
Am G D Am7 G
in the dunes on the cape
Dm C Em D C
You're the lady I've looked for,
Am G Bm7 C G
come with me and escape


C | Em D C | Am | G | D Am7 G | Dm
C | Em D C | Am | G | Bm7 C G |


C Em D C
If you like piña coladas
Am G D Am7 G
and gettin' caught in the rain
Dm C Em D C
if you're not into yoga
Am G Bm7 C G
if you have half a brain

Dm C Em D C
if you like makin' love at midnight
Am G D Am7 G
in the dunes of a cape
Dm C Em D C
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Am G Bm7 C G
write to me and escape.


C Em D C
Yes, I like piña coladas
Am G D Am7 G
and getting caught in the rain
Dm C Em D C
I'm not much into health food,
Am G Bm7 C G
I am into champagne

[Verse]

D
Well I guess it would be nice
D
If I could touch your body
G
I know not everybody
D
Has got a body like you
D
But I've got to think twice
D
Before I give my heart away
G
And I know all the games you play
D
Because I play them too


[Pre-Chorus]
Oh but I
G D
Need some time off from that emotion
G D
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
G
Oh when that love comes down
D Bm
Without devotion
Em
Well it takes a strong man baby
A
But I'm showing you the door


[Chorus]
D
Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
D
I gotta have faith
D
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
D
I gotta have faith, faith, faith


[Verse]
D
Baby
D
I know you're asking me to stay
G
Say please, please, please don't go away
D
You say I'm giving you the blues
D
Maybe
D
You mean every word you say
G
Can't help but think of yesterday
D
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules


[Pre-Chorus]
G
Before this river
D
Becomes an ocean
G D
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
G
Oh baby I reconsider
D Bm
My foolish notion
Em
Well I need someone to hold me
A
But I'll wait for something more


[Chorus]
D
Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith
D
I gotta have faith
D
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
D
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

I Heard it Through the Grapevine

[Intro]

Gm C/D, Gm C/G Gm (x5)


[Verse 1]

Gm C/G Gm
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
D C7
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
Gm C/G Gm
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
D C7
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.


[Bridge 1]

Em C7
It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
Gm C7
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;


[Chorus 1]

Gm C7 Gm
I heard it through the grape-vine;
C
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Gm C7 Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C7 (Gm)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.


[Break]

Gm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
C/G Gm C/G Gm, C/G
Not much longer would you be my baby).


[Verse 2]

Gm C/G Gm
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
D C7
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
Gm C/G Gm
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
D C7
'Cos you mean that much to me.


[Bridge 2]

Em C7
You could have told me your-self,
Gm C7
That you loved someone else.


[Chorus 2]

Gm C7 Gm
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C
Not much longer would you be mine.
Gm C7 Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C7 (Gm)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.


[Break]

Gm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
C/G Gm C/G Gm, C/G
Not much longer would you be my baby).


[Interlude]

Gm C/D, Gm C/G Gm (x5)


[Verse 3]

Gm
People say; believe half of what you see,
D C7
Son, and none of what you hear.
Gm
But I can't help, but be confused,
D C7
If it's true, please tell me, dear.


[Bridge 3]

Em C7
Do you plan to let me go,
Gm C7
For the other guy you loved be-fore?


[Chorus 3]

Gm C7 Gm
I heard it through the grape-vine;
C
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Gm C7 Gm
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
C7 Gm
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.


[Break]

Gm
(I heard it through the grapevine,
C/G Gm C/G Gm, C/G
Not much longer would you be my baby).
