DIE, DIE, DIE by The Avett Brothers
Ultimate Guitar
She’s fighting with the sky, she thinks she can
Living within a lie, she thinks she can
But nobody knows what lies behind
The days before the day we die
Die-die-die, die-die-die, die
Die-die-die, die-die-die, die
Die-die-die
She puts her hands against the life she had
Living with ignorance, blissful and sad
But nobody knows what lies behind
The days before the day we die
Die-die-die, die-die-die, die
Die-die-die, die-die-die, die
Die-die-die
You can try to swim the sea,
But say goodbye to you and me
(Interlude)
You can try to swim the sea,
You can try to hold the breeze
You can try to hide the sun,
But say goodbye to everyone
You can try to swim the sea (Die-die-die, die-die-die, die)
You can try to hold the breeze (Die-die-die, die, die-die-die)
And you can try to hide the sun (Die-die-die, die-die-die, die)
But say goodbye to everyone (Die-die-die, die-die-die, die die)
And you can try to swim the sea, (Nobody knows what lies behind)
And you can try to hold the breeze (The days before the day we die)
You can try through skin and bone, (Die-die-die, die-die-die, die)
But you will end up all alone (Die-die-die, die-die die, die, die, die)

HALO by Beyonce
S.O.
A Bm F#m D
Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
BRIDGE:
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out!
CHORUS:
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo...
Halo, ooh ooh...
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget to pull me back to the ground again
[BRIDGE]

HAPPY by Jimmy Magoo
YouTube
C F
I don’t have a lover and that is OK
G C
I think I could be happy if that’s how it stayed.
C F
But if I find another to share the rest of my days
G C
I’ll try to be happy anyway
I don’t have any money, no forture was made
I think I could be happy if I sold lemonade
But if I hit the jackpot and have it made in the shade
I’ll try to be happy anyway
F
Anyway you slice it, it tastes nice
C
Life’s perfectly bittersweet
F
Don’t bother tryin to fight it, your wrongs will be alrighted
G Dm
If you can find your victory in defeat
This life has been lovely in a sad sort of way
I think I could be happy if it ended today
But if I rise tomorrow and my demise is delayed
I’ll try to be happy anyway
I’ll try to be happy anyway.

PALLIN’ WITH AL by The Squirrel Nut Zippers
YouTube
All the birds up in the trees
Have got a different song to sing
And it’s better now they’ve learned to swing
They’ve been pallin’ with Al
Down below at the candy shop
They’re still workin’ at that same old chore
But the suff here’s sweeter than it was before
You know why people, pallin’ with Al.
Who’s that man who’s got that sentimental swing?
Plays that mess just like it doesn’t mean a thing
Gather round you all and watch him pluck those strings
When he gets that right hand pumpin’
All those kiddies got to start buck jumpin’
Listen now and don’t forget
If you go for that solid jive
You can always keep the dream alive
Pallin’, pallin’, pallin’ with Al

The world is round! China’s upside down,

There’s seven billion people on this ball in outer space
G D
So far I’ve only met a few, including you
G C Cm
And so I’ve set a pace to go to every single place I know
G D G
And see what all those other people do!
CHORUS
VERSE 2
We’re made of tiny atoms which are mostly empty space
Held together by a force like static cling
And microscopes are gazing on things wondrous and amazing
Stuff of life, the universe, and everything!
CHORUS
VERSE 3
The forces of the cosmos work in mystifying ways
Most of which are silent and unseen
There’s no suitable equation to express the motivation of
The universe to make a human being (that’s you and me!
CHORUS
D7 G
And if you’re smart enough!

RENTAL LOVE by Lake Street Dive
When we were having a good time
I got a little sentimental
The rental of your love
Was all that you gave up
But I wanted it all I wanted it all
When we were doing the slow climb
The peak was a forgone conclusion
To lose it broke my heart, I only got one part
But I wanted it all, I wanted it all
When we were given a new chance
I got a little over zealous
Jealous, of your old girl
I wanted to be your whole world
I wanted it all I wanted it all
I wanted it all I wanted it all

Yeah, he's gonna take a little stroll way out west

MONEY MAN DESTROYS by Dave Samano
S.O.
I came down from the mountain, I could not see my feet
They were lost in the valley that was dark and lonely
So I took up my own values and I took up my own beat
It was lost on the masses as they crowd around me
BRIDGE: I said oh oh, oh oh
Ah, money man money man money man
Oh oh oh
CHORUS: Oh yeah, done it all before
Work, eat, drink, sleep, want it no more
I said oh yeah, done it all before
Work, eat, drink, sleep, want it no more.
I saw water, it was running like a river through the street
But the life that it gave once, it was lost beyond me
So I took up what I needed and I took it from the stream
It was lost on the masses as they fell around me
(BRIDGE & CHORUS)
I saw water, it was running like a river through the street
It was blood from the battle as it raged around me
So I took up what I needed and I took it to the street
And my strength it amazed me as the battle I seized
(CHORUS)
LITTLE NUMBERS by BOY
S.O.
Waited for your call, for the moon
To release me from the longest afternoon
I've re-arranged parts of my living room
But time is hard to kill since I met you
Looking at the cars that drive on by
While spring is making promise outside
Red cars are quite rare I realize
Then I wonder which colour you like
Seven little numbers
Baby, they could be a start
Seven little numbers
Baby, I know yours by heart
Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could do
Woo-oh, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
Woo-oh, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
These numbers could be lucky for you
Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
I can't think of another thing to do
And every song just makes me think of you
Because the singers sounds as if she was longing,
As if she was longing, too
Seven little numbers...
Woo-oh, oh-oh...
I read your name on every wall, on every wall - tell me
Is there a cure for me at all, for me at all - tell me
I read your name on every wall, on every wall - tell me
Is there a cure for me at all, for me at all
Woo-oh, oh-oh...
