Blank Space

[Verse]

A
Nice to meet you where you been
F#m
I can show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven sin

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

You look like my next mistake
E7sus4 E
Love’s a game, want to plaaaaay?

A
New money, suit and tie
F#m
I can read you like a magazine

Ain't it funny rumors fly

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

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


[Chorus]

A F#m
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

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

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

A
Cause we're young and we're reckless
F#m
We'll take this way too far

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

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


[Verse]

A
Cherry lips, crystal skies
F#m
I could show you incredible things

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

Find out what you want

Be that girl for a month
E7sus4 E
Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no

A
Screaming crying perfect storms
F#m
I can make all the tables turn

Rose garden filled with thorns

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

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


[Chorus]

A F#m
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

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

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

A
Cause we're young and we're reckless
F#m
We'll take this way too far

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

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


[Bridge]

A
Boys only want love if it's torture

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


[Chorus]

A F#m
So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames

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

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


Cause we're young and we're reckless
F#m
We'll take this way too far

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

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

Beat It

They told him, Don't you ever come around here.

The fires in their eyes and their words are really clear

Better do what you can

Early in the morning
D                G
Risin' to the street
D                   G
Light me up that cigarette

And I strap shoes on my feet
D                G
Got to find a reason 
   D                  G    
A Reason things went wrong

Got to find a reason 
         D           G
why my money's all gone
D           G
I got a dalmatian

And I can still get high
D                 G
I can play the guitar

Like a motherfuckin' riot

Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got
            D
Cause you might get run over

or you might get shot
D
Never start no static
        G
I just get it off my chest

Never had to battle with no

bulletproof vest 
D
Take a small example

Your bound to get served

Don't start a riot

You'll feel it when

the dance get's hot

[Verse]
          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

Now remember that

Is What i got
         G
I said remember that

Escape (Pina Colada Song)

D | F#m E D | Bm | A | E Bm7 A | Em
D | F#m E D | Bm | A | C#m7 D A |


D F#m E D
I was tired of my lady,
Bm A E Bm7 A
we'd been together too long
E D F#m E D
like a worn out recording
Bm A C#m7 D A
of a favorite song.

Em D F#m E D
So while she lay there sleepin'
Bm A E Bm7 A
I read the paper in bed
Em D F#m E D
and in the personal columns
Bm A C#m7 D A
there was this letter I read.


D F#m E D
If you like piña coladas
Bm A E Bm7 A
and gettin' caught in the rain
Em D F#m E D
if you're not into yoga
Bm A C#m7 D A
if you have half a brain

Em D F#m E D
if you like makin' love at midnight
Bm A E Bm7 A
in the dunes of a cape
Em D F#m E D
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Bm A C#m7 D A
write to me and escape.


D | F#m E D | Bm | A | E Bm7 A | Em
D | F#m E D | Bm | A | C#m7 D A |


D F#m E D
I didn't think about my lady,
Bm A E Bm7 A
I know that sounds kind of mean
Em D F#m E D
But me and my old lady
Bm A C#m7 D A
had fallen into the same old dull routine

Em D F#m E D
So I wrote to the paper,
Bm A E Bm7 A
took out a personal ad
Em D F#m E D
And though I'm nobody's poet,
Bm A C#m7 D A
I thought it wasn't half bad.


D F#m E D
Yes, I like piña coladas
Bm A E Bm7 A
and getting caught in the rain
Em D F#m E D
I'm not much into health food,
Bm A C#m7 D A
I am into champagne

Em D F#m E D
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
Bm A E Bm7 A
and cut through all this red tape
Em D F#m E D
At a bar called O'Malley's
Bm A C#m7 D A
where we'll plan our escape.


D | F#m E D | Bm | A | E Bm7 A | Em
D | F#m E D | Bm | A | C#m7 D A |


D F#m E D
So I waited with high hopes
Bm A E Bm7 A
and she walked in the place
Em D F#m E D
I knew her smile in an instant,
Bm A C#m7 D A
I knew the curve of her face

Em D F#m E D
It was my own lovely lady
Bm A E Bm7 A
and she said, "Aw, it's you."
Em D F#m E D
Then we laughed for a moment
Bm A C#m7 D A
and I said, "I never knew."


D F#m E D
That you like piña coladas
Bm A E Bm7 A
and gettin' caught in the rain
Em D F#m E D
And the feel of the ocean
Bm A C#m7 D A
and the taste of champagne

Em D F#m E D
If you like making love at midnight
Bm A E Bm7 A
in the dunes on the cape
Em D F#m E D
You're the lady I've looked for,
Bm A C#m7 D A
come with me and escape


D | F#m E D | Bm | A | E Bm7 A | Em
D | F#m E D | Bm | A | C#m7 D A |


D F#m E D
If you like piña coladas
Bm A E Bm7 A
and gettin' caught in the rain
Em D F#m E D
if you're not into yoga
Bm A C#m7 D A
if you have half a brain

Em D F#m E D
if you like makin' love at midnight

[Verse]

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


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


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


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


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


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

I Heard it Through the Grapevine

[Intro]

Am D/D, Am D/A Am (x5)


[Verse 1]

Am D/A Am
Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew,
E D7
'Bout your plans to make me blue.
Am D/A Am
With some other guy you knew be-fore,
E D7
Between two of us guys, you know I loved you more.


[Bridge 1]

F#m D7
It took me by sur-prise, I must say,
Am D7
When I found out yester-day. Don't you know that;


[Chorus 1]

Am D7 Am
I heard it through the grape-vine;
D
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Am D7 Am
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D7 (Am)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.


[Break]

Am
(I heard it through the grapevine,
D/A Am D/A Am, D/A
Not much longer would you be my baby).


[Verse 2]

Am D/A Am
I know a man ain't sup-posed to cry,
E D7
But these tears, I can't hold in-side.
Am D/A Am
Losing you, would end my life, you see,
E D7
'Cos you mean that much to me.


[Bridge 2]

F#m D7
You could have told me your-self,
Am D7
That you loved someone else.


[Chorus 2]

Am D7 Am
Instead, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D
Not much longer would you be mine.
Am D7 Am
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D7 (Am)
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.


[Break]

Am
(I heard it through the grapevine,
D/A Am D/A Am, D/A
Not much longer would you be my baby).


[Interlude]

Am D/D, Am D/A Am (x5)


[Verse 3]

Am
People say; believe half of what you see,
E D7
Son, and none of what you hear.
Am
But I can't help, but be confused,
E D7
If it's true, please tell me, dear.


[Bridge 3]

F#m D7
Do you plan to let me go,
Am D7
For the other guy you loved be-fore?


[Chorus 3]

Am D7 Am
I heard it through the grape-vine;
D
Not much longer, would you be mine.
Am D7 Am
Oh, I heard it through the grape-vine;
D7 Am
Oh, I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, yeah.


[Break]

Am
(I heard it through the grapevine,
D/A Am D/A Am, D/A
Not much longer would you be my baby).
