Gangstas Paradise 
Tom: Ab

(Ooooh, ooooh, oooh, ooooh)
      Ab                             Fm
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
          G                      Cm
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
       Ab                       Fm
Cause I've been blastin' and laughin so long that
 G                            Cm
Even my ma'ma thinks that my mind is gone
Ab | Fm | G | Cm
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me, be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talkin, and where you walkin
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc'-
As they grew I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Sayin' prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
They got the situation, they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'ed out gangsta, set-trippin banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nuthin but a heart beat away
I'm livin life do-or-die-a, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-fow'?
The way things are goin' I don't know
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin, but half of them ain't lookin
What's goin on in the kitchen, but I dont know what's cookin
They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me,
If they cant understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't; I guess they won't
I guess they front; that's why I know my life is outta luck, fool!
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me

And you're too weak to carry on the fight.
             F                 G                Am 
And all your friends that you care for have disappeared.

Verse 2 (Repeat chords from Verse 1):
Oh I got so distracted by people all around
Whispering sweet nothings, filling my head with doubt.
So I gave up, I didn't take long for me to see
The one thing that I was missing, was standing in front of me
I took you for granted, thought the grass was greener on the other side
I was wrong and it's took me so long for me to finally realise.

The Only Night 
Tom: Em
Intro: Dm C G (4x)
Em                      Am
I was young and I was a victim of her killer smile
F                             C
Her love was cheap and it was great for a little while
Em                         Am
I had to leave but she wanted me stay 
F                               C
And she ripped up my shirt and left the marks of her disdain
(Repeat Intro 3x)
I couldn't take it no more
I couldn't spend another night alone
I couldn't take it no more
                          F
If this is where we ended up
G                      C                     F
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
                Dm
If everything I have is gone
E            E7
Then what is wrong
Am          C/B        A7     (A7*) (See Note)
In spending time with you
F (8th fret)
I'll keep you warm
Em (7th fret)
You'll hold me tight

This might be our only night
(Intro 4x)
I can't give up
(repeat verse)
I tried to reconcile
But it never made a difference
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife
It was so tense and cold
And every time I tried to get little closer to you
You got further and further away from me
Until you faded into the distance
Yes you did
There was nothing I could do
(repeat chorus)
If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong
In spending time with you
I'll keep you warm
When you hold me tight
Coz this might be our only night
This might be the only night
I can't spend another night alone
If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong
In spending time with you
If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong
In spending time with you
F (8th fret)       Em (7th fret)
Keep me warm and I hold you tight

If You Dont Wanna Love Me
Tom: F#
F#          F/F#      D#min
When you lower me down
             B   C#           F#
So deep that I, I can't get out
F#          F/F#      D#min
And when you're lost, lost and alone
                   B   C#                   
Yes you'd think it was the last place	
                      F#
You'd come back for more
B
If you don't want me to leave
           Bb
Then don't push me away
       Bb7
Rather blow out the lights
        D#min
You can watch it all fade
        Ab7
But I'm going nowhere
F#   F/F#  D#min
I'm gonna stay
                    B
When you just wanna fight
                       C#
When you're closing your eyes
                       F#     Bb7
'Cause you don't wanna love me
           D#min  D/D#min    Ab7
I'm gonna stay
          B
You can't push me too far
           C#
There's no space in my heart
                   F#
Where I don't wanna love you
F#               F/F#  D#min
And when there's no, no stone
B   C#                   F#
Then how can I feel the corn
F#               F/F#               D#min
If there's nothing, nothing, nothing left to lose
                  B
Then what is this feeling
                 C#
That keeps on bringing me back to you
          F#     F/F#            D#min
So I'm gonna stay
            B
When you just wanna fight
            C#
And you're closing your eyes
   F#                   Bb7
'Cause you don't wanna love me

D#min       D/D#min          Ab7
So I'm gonna stay, yes I will
  B
You can't push me too far
         C#
There's no space in my heart
                F#
Where I don't wanna love you
                     B 
And if you ask me to leave
             Bb
And I walked away 
           Bb7 
We'd still be alone
                 D#min
And we'd still be afraid 
             Ab7
I'm going nowhere
   B7
I'm going nowhere
 F#           F/F#            D#min
So I'm gonna stay
           B
When you just wanna fight
            C#
And there’s tears in your eyes
           F#                Bb7
'Cause you don't wanna love me
 
D#min    D/D#min          Ab7
I'm gonna stay
              B
All the tears that I’ve cried
           C#
I could leave them to dry
     F#          F/F#            D#min
If you don’t wanna love me
                
B                   C#
Could leave them to dry

If you don’t wanna love me
Broken Strings 
Tom: Am
       Am
Let me hold you

For the last time
         F
It's the last chance to feel again
        Am
But you broke me
      C             F      Dm
Now I can't feel anything
       Am
When I love you,
        C
It's so untrue
  F
I can't even convince myself
         Am
When I'm speaking,
         C                F    Dm
It's the voice of someone else
      F     G  Am
Oh it tears me up
  F           G          Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  F         G              Em             F              C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
          Dm             Am
You can't play on broken strings
          C       G 
You can't feel anything 
          Dm                  Am
That your heart don't want to feel
        C                             G
I can't tell you something that ain't real
       F     
Oh the truth hurts
    Am  
And lies worse
C                 G
How can I give anymore
       Dm                Am       G
When I love you a little less than before
        Am     C
Oh what are we doing
       F
We are turning into dust
        Am           C        F    Dm
Playing house in the ruins of us
        Am               C
Running back through the fire
             F
When there's nothing left to save
          Am               C                        F    Dm
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late
      F     G  Am
Oh it tears me up
  F           G          Em
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
  F         G              Em            F               C
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay

You can't play on broken strings
          C       G
You can't feel anything 
          Dm                  Am
That your heart don't want to feel

It's like chasing the very last train

When we both know it's too late (too late)
          Dm            Am
You can't play on broken strings
          C       G
You can't feel anything 
          Dm                 Am
That your heart don't want to feel

I can't tell you something that ain't real

How can I give anymore

When I love you a little less than before

Oh when I love you a little less than before
       Am              C
Let me hold you for the last time

It's the last chance to feel again 
Please Dont Stop The Rain

Intro: Am C Dm Am G
Am                               C
I don't know where I crossed the line
       Dm
Was it something that I said
   Am              G
Or didn't say this time
Am                       C
And I don't know if it's me or you
      Dm

If it's gonna be a rainy day
                                           Am
There's nothing we can do to make it change
                             G
We can pray for sunny weather
                            C
But that won't stop the rain
                                    F
Feeling like you got no place to run
                                    Am
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
                              G
We can make this last forever

I thought that time was on our side

I've put in far too many years

To let this pass us by

You see live is a crazy thing

There'll be good time and there'll be bad times

Dm          C      G
Oh we're a little closer now

But we've got no control over what happens anyway
C                           F 
If it's gonna be a rainy day

There's nothing we can do to make it change
                             G
We can pray for sunny weather
                            C
But that won't stop the rain
                                    F
Feeling like you got no place to run
                                    Am
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
                              G
We can make this last forever
                             C
So please don't stop the rain
                        F
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
                          Am
Please don't stop the rain
                        G
(Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall)
                          C
Please don't stop the rain

There was a time

I had nothing to give

For you, I give my soul to keep

You see me, love me

INTRO CHORDS...
Under the stars 
At the edge of the sea 
There's no one around 
No one but you and me 
We'd talk for hours 
As time drifts away 
I could stay here forever 
And hold you this way 
Coz you are all that I need 
For you, I give my soul to keep 
You see me, love me 
Just the way I am 
For you I am a better man 
I said you are the reason 
For everything I do 
I'd be lost, so lost without you

One minute honest then your full of false pretension
E                                                G

Letter

Intro: Em  D  G
       Em  D  A
Verse:
Em           D
It's got my name on it 
G              C                Em
And it's just waiting there for me 
            D                   A
I feel the cold run through my veins 
Em                 D
And it's got her shame on it 
G            C             Em
She couldn't say it to my face 
                   D            A
But I won't waste time placing blame 
Chorus:
C                G
I know I'll move on 
   B                        Em         D
I tell myself I'll find me something better 
C        G             B
I'll let go and just forget her 
            C       G               
She was no good for me 
      B                             Em    D
Deep down I know that's the way it has to be so 
C           G                      B
How come I still can't open this letter? 
         Em        D    G
I can't forget her 
              Em    D   A
Really wish I could 
Verse 2:
Em              D
There must be a name for it 
G             C                 Em
Whatever this is you've done to me 
           D         A
I'm all twisted up inside 
Em                D
Well who's gonna pay for it? 
G            C               Em
If it's not you I guess it's me 
                       D
You left me with your life
          A
And took mine 
[Chorus]
         C         G    D
I can't forget her 
              C     G   D
Really wish I could 
                C   G  B  Em  D  C  G
Really wish I could 
     B
Oh yeah 
[Chorus] 
Outro:
Em          D
It's got my name on it 
G               C
And it's just waiting there for me 

 

If The Rain Must Fall 
Tom: G
Verse 1:
    G           F
Oh life can be strange
          G        F
Good and bad in so many ways
        G
And in time you will find
      Em                              A7  D
That things are not always what they seem

      G                    F
Well I've got something to say
               G             F
But you might laugh, joke or run away
            G        
Cause I'm awkward and nervous
     Em                       A7   D
Sometimes I don't say much at all

Chorus:
            C
But if the rain must fall
      Em
If I lose it all
        F#                   B
If the world comes down and takes my soul
       C
If the sky turns black
      Em
And theres no way back
          F#
It won't matter much to me
          B
If I had you
C                   G
All I need is your love
              Am/G
That's all I need
                    Em   D
All I need is your love

Verse 2:
          G              F
Oh well dreams can come true
             G                          F
If you know inside you really want them to 
           G
Or you can sit you can wait
         Em                         A7      D
You can leave your fate in someone else's hands

      G           F
Oh but I, I want you
            G                          F
And nothing else can make me feel the way you do
         G
So I'm waiting, I'm wishing
          Em                    A7           D
That it's me you'll be holding tonight and every night

Chorus:
            C
But if the rain must fall
      Em
If I lose it all
        F#                   B
If the world comes down and takes my soul
       C
If the sky turns black
      Em
If theres no way back
          F#
It won't matter much to me
          B
If I had you
C                   G
All I need is your love
              Am/G
That's all I need
                    Em   D
All I need is your love

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
F#m                                     B7
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying

One of us is changing
    E                       D
Or maybe we just stopped trying
Chorus:
          G                   D
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

It used to be so easy living here with you
F#m                               B7
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
F#m                     E              D
You look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

Chorus:

Last Goodbye 
Tom: E
Intro:C#m
verse1:
           E                      C#m
I don't believe you, And I never will,
            F#m         G#m
Oh I can't live by your side
          A       B             C#m
with the lies you've tried to instil,

I can't take anymore,

I don't have to give you a reason
        F#m
For leaving this time
     A          B       E
Cos this is my last goodbye
verse2:
It's like I hardly know you
but maybe I never did.
It's like every emotion you showed me
you kept well hid,
and every true word that you ever spoke
was really decieving.
Now I'm leaving this time
cos this is my last goodbye
chorus:
           Bm
I've gotta turn and walk away,
             Em
I don't have anything left to say
          F#m*
I haven't already said before
          Em
and I've grown tired of being used,
                  A
and I'm sick and tired of being accused.
         F#m*
Now I'm walking away from you,
     B                E
and I'm not coming back
