Here

Key: DmMedium

I'm soDmrryB if I sDmeemBb uninterested

Oh I'm Dmnot listenin', oh DmI'mC indifferent

DmTruBly I ain't Dm gBbot no business here

But siDmnce my friends are here, DmI jCust came to kick it

But rDmealBly I would rather be aDmt hBbome all by myself

Not in this roDmom with people who don't even DmcarCe about my well being

I doDmn'tB dance, don't ask,Dm I Bbdon't need a boyfriend

So Dmyou can, go back,Dm Cplease enjoy your party

I'll be heDmre,B Dm Bbsomewhere in the corner

Under clDmouds of marijuana with this DmboyC who's hollerin'

And I can hardly DmheaBr

Over this musDmic BbI don't listen to

And DmI don't wanna get with you

So tDmellC my friends that I'll be over hDmereB

Oh oh oh DmherBbe, oh oh oh hDmere

Oh oh oh DmI aCsked myself, what am I doin' herDme? B

Oh oh oh hDmereBb, oh oh oh hDmere

And I can't waDmit C'til we can break up out of heDmre B

DmExcBuse me if I seem a little unimpDmresBbsed with this

An anDmtisocial pessimist, but uDmsuaClly I don't mess with this

ADmnd BI know you meanDm onBbly the best and your

IntDmentions aren't to bother me, buDmt hConestly I'd rather be

DmSomBewhere with my people, we can DmkicBbk it and just listen to

Some mDmusic with a message, (like wDme uCsually do)

And we'll discuss our biDmg dBreams, how we plaDmn, Bbto take over the planet

DmSo pardon my manners, I hDmopeC you'll understand that I'll be hereDm (oBoh)

DmNotBb there in the kitchen

With the giDmrl who's always gossipin' aDmbouCt her friends

Oh tell them I'll bDme hBere

(Ooh) rDmighBbt next to the boy who's throwin' Dmup

'Cause he can't take what's in hisDm cuCp no more

Oh God why am I heDmre?B

Oh oh oh DmherBbe, oh oh oh Dmhere

Oh oh oh DmI aCsked myself, what am I doin' DmherBe?

Oh oh oh hDmereBb, oh oh oh Dmhere

And I can't wDmaitC 'til we can break up out of DmherBe

DmHours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator

DmSome girl's talkin' 'bout a hater, she ain't got none

DmHow did it ever come to this? I should've never come to this

DmSo holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done

I'm stand-offDmishB, don't want what you're DmoffBberin'

And I'm done tDmalkin', awfullyDm saCd it had to be that wDmay B

So tell my people when tDmheyBb're ready that I'm ready

And I'm staDmndin' by the TV with my beDmaniCe low

Yo I'll be over hDmereB

My Song

Key: AmCapo 3Medium

AmTune in to find my Cpeace and solitude

These empty Frooms spin

And I embrace the flaws of being humaGn

The black and Amwhite and sometimes the Cgreys

The in-betFween times, the meantimes

That make the song of life sGing

AmPlay, Crest, Amrepeat

Read Cexactly what is Fwritten on the sheet

Don't deviaAmte they say

CBut I will Fplay what's best for Amme

I'll press the Ckeys and pull the Fstrings

Create a symphony that's mine

And CI'll spend my Emlife penning Ammy song, Fmy song

And the Cverses I Emwrite will speak for Amme

Good girls don't make Fhistory

So I may Gnever be what Fyou assume

Don't Amwant your hooks or aCuto-tune

If FI'm off-key then that's alrighAmt with me

COh and Fmaybe you will learn this when I'm gone

My song will carry on

AmLet go, I let my Cvoice be heard

Then listen for the Fecho

My own reverb is playing Gcause I'm a mAmovement

There's dissonance, Csometimes I make mistakes

Oh I'm Fhuman, after all I'm not your expecGtations

But Amplay, Crest, reAmpeat

That's what they Cask of me

Just Fstick to this melody and stay between the Amlines

CBut I will Fplay what's best for Amme

I'll ring the Cbells and crash the Fsymbols

My harmonious design

And CI'll spend my Emlife penning Ammy song, Fmy song

And the Cverses I Emwrite will speak for Amme

Good girls don't make Fhistory

So I may Gnever be what Fyou assume

Don't Amwant your hooks or aCuto-tune

If FI'm off-key then that's alrightAm with me

COh and Fmaybe you will learn this when I'm gone

My song will carry on

CIn my time here

EmI wanna be revAmered and remembered

Oh Flet them say I came, I conquered

CSo I won't fear

EmAnd I can't blend Amin

You can't replace and Fyou cannot erase me

Cause my Amsong Cwill Fplay on beyond time

And CI'll spend my Emlife penning Ammy song, Fmy song

And the Cverses I Emwrite will speak for Amme

Good girls don't make Fhistory

So I may Gnever be what Fyou assume

Don't Amwant your hooks or aCuto-tune

If FI'm off key then that's alrightAm with me

COh and Fmaybe you will learn this when I'm gone

My song will carry on

And CI'll spend my Emlife penning Ammy song, Fmy song

And the Cverses I Emwrite will speak for Amme

Good girls don't make Fhistory

So I may Gnever be what Fyou assume

Don't Amwant your hooks or aCuto-tune

If FI'm off-key then that's alrightAm with me

COh and Fmaybe you will learn this when I'm gone

My song will carry on (x2)

I Choose

Key: CMedium

F#m

All of my life I thought I was right

AmF

Looking for something new

Stuck in my ways like old-fashioned days

AmF

But all the roads led me to you

DmF

The house that you live in don't make it a home

But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone

DmF

People in life,they will come and they'll leave

CAmG

But if I had a choice I know where I would be

Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side

GAmG

There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light

When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say

GAm

At the end of the day, I choose you

Now I found the strength to make a change

AmF

And look at the magic I found

No matter the name or where you came from

AmF

'Cause no one has much figured out

DmF

The house that you live in don't make it a home

But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone

DmF

I finally found where I feel I belong

CAmG

And I know you'll be there with wide open arms

Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side

GAmG

There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light

When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say

GAm

At the end of the day, I choose you

FCFAm

I choose you

FCFAmF

I choose you

Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side

GAmG

There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light

Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side

GAmG

There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light

When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say

GAmGC

At the end of the day, I choose you

AmGCFAm

Oh, I choose you

F#mAmC

I choose you.

My Kind

Key: EbHard

Bm7

Do yEbou recall the days at Bm7your old place?

PlayiCmng with Troll dolls to scareB the kids away

My clEboset was a time machineBm7, yours a stage

I wisCmh we told those little girlBs they're gonna be okay

StillEb picture it all in my Bm7mind

MakinCmg the campfire out of brokeBn flashlights

JealouEbs of your high tops 'cBm7ause someone stole mine

Wish sCmomebody would've told me thaBt would be alright

My kiEbnd of time's meant to Bm7carelessly spend

And Cmmy kind of nights are the onBe's that don't end

My kiEbnd of fun doesn't makeBm7 any sense

And mCmy kind of love, you won't evBer forget

My kinEbd of time's meant to cBm7arelessly spend

And mCmy kind of nights are the oneB's that don't end

My kiEbnd of fun doesn't makeBm7 any sense

And Cmmy kind of love, you won't eBver forget

Do yoEbu remember all the carBm7toons at midnight?

Like Cmthe one about the crass-humoBured French guy

And whEbat about you, Mr. PoetBm7ry?

And wCmhat about all that we built Bin just a couple weeks?

TalkinEb' 'bout all of our feaBm7rs through a cracked screen

PickiCmng little fights over fallinBg asleep

I wishEb you knew I loved you Bm7when you knew you loved me

ReallCmy wish I knew you sooner thaBn my 20s

My kinEbd of time's meant to cBm7arelessly spend

And myCm kind of nights are the one'Bs that don't end

My kindEb of fun doesn't make aBm7ny sense

And myCm kind of love, you won't eveBr forget

My kind Ebof time's meant to carBm7elessly spend

And my Cmkind of nights are the one'sB that don't end

My kind oEbf fun doesn't make anyBm7 sense

And my kCmind of love, you won't ever Bforget

I'm a pEbroduct of the who's, wBm7hen's, and how's

Those Cmwho let go and those who stuBck around

I wish Ebsomebody would've toldBm7 me I'd be here now

'Cause tCmhis kind of life is one to sBing about (oh yeah)

My kind Ebof time's meant to carBm7elessly spend

And my Cmkind of nights are the one'sB that don't end

My kind oEbf fun doesn't make anyBm7 sense

And my Cmkind of love, you won't everB forget

My kind ofEb time's meant to carelBm7essly spend

River Of Tears

Key: DmMedium

Verso: 1

DmStill got the flowers that you Fsent

And the F5note you wrote that said we were Cmeant, to be forever

DmI keep them all as eviFdence

In a F5drawer under the mirror, filled with Cempty promises

DmI don't know why, I keep

FLetting you lie to me

F5Hard as I try, it seems

CI can't break away

I thought that Dmyou would be the hero

Come and sFave the day

But you're a villainF5

Your sins unforgivenC

I'm going dowDmn, and you have watched me drownF

In a river of tearF5s, lost beneath the streaCm

Under the waveDms, I've found the strength to sayF

The river of tearF5s has washed me cleaCn

Dm Go 'head and wish me well,F I'll cry a wishing well

F5 I'll fly before I fail,C I'll set sail and drift away

Dm So I won't need you here,F Love sinks and hope floats

F5 In a river of tears,C In a river of tears

Verso: 2

DmI catch your scent in every Fwind

And I reF5call the love we had, I can't preCtend

That DmI don't miss you every now and Fthen

But the F5hurt is for the better

Moving Con, it's now or never

DmLost in the tide, I can't keepF my pillows dry

Like there's a F5sea in my eyes

I realizeC that sometimes

love brings you flowerDms

Then it builds you coffinsF

And far too oftenF5

We end up fallingC to our demise

I'm going dowDmn, and you have watched me drownF

In a river of tearF5s, lost beneath the streaCm

Under the waveDms, I've found the strength to sayF

The river of tearF5s has washed me cleaCn

Dm Go 'head and wish me well,F I'll cry a wishing well

F5 I'll fly before I fail,C I'll set sail and drift away

Dm So I won't need you here,F Love sinks and hope floats

F5 In a river of tears,C In a river of tears

F5Cry me a river, build mysFelf a bridge, I'm F5over Cthis

F5 Can't let memories become the death of me, I'm glad to see

F Everything that you are

C And I believe that you areF everything I needed

But I don't need no moreF5

I'm going dowDmn, and you have watched me drownF

In a river of tearF5s, lost beneath the streaCm

Under the waveDms, I've found the strength to sayF

The river of tearF5s has washed me cleaCn

Dm Go 'head and wish me well,F I'll cry a wishing well

F5 I'll fly before I fail,C I'll set sail and drift away

Dm So I won't need you here,F Love sinks and hope floats

Scars To Your Beautiful

Key: FCapo 1Easy

Fmaj7

She jFmaj7ust wants to be beAmautiful

She Cgoes unnoticed, she knows no limits

She Fmaj7craves attention, sheAm praises an image

She Cprays to be sculpted by the sculptor

Oh, Fmaj7she don't see the light that's shining

DeepAmer than the eyes can find it

MaybCe we have made her blind

So she tries to cover up her pain and Fmaj7cut her woes away

Cause covAmergirls don't cry after tCheir face is made

But there's a Fmaj7hope that's waiting for you in the dark

YoAmu should know you're beautCiful just the way you aGre

And you don't have to chFmaj7ange a thing

The world could change iAmts heart

No scars to your beCautiful, we're stars and we're beautifGul

And you don't have to Fmaj7change a thing

The world could change its hAmeart

No scars to your beaCutiful, we're stars and we're beautifGul

She has Fmaj7dreams to be an envy, so shAme's starving

You know, cCovergirls eat nothing

She says "beFmaj7auty is pain and there's beauty in eAmverything"

"What's a lCittle bit of hunger?"

"I could go a little while longer," she fades away

She don't Fmaj7see her perfect, she don't underAmstand she's worth it

Or that bCeauty goes deeper than the surface

So to alFmaj7l the girls that's hurting

Let me be your mAmirror, help you see a litCtle bit clearer

The light that shines within

There's aFmaj7 hope that's waiting for you in the dark

YoAmu should know you're beautCiful just the way you aGre

And you don't have to chFmaj7ange a thing

The world could change iAmts heart

No scars to your beCautiful, we're stars and we're beautifGul

And you don't have to Fmaj7change a thing

The world could change its hAmeart

No scars to your beaCutiful, we're stars and we're beautifGul

No betteFmaj7r you than the you that you are

No betteAmr you than the you that you are

No betteCr life than the life we're living

No betteGr life than the life we're living

No bettFmaj7er time for your shine, you're a star

No bettAmer time for your shine, you're a star

Oh, yoCu're beautiful, oh, you'Gre beautiful

And there'sFmaj7 a hope that's waiting for you in the dark

YoAmu should know you're beautCiful just the way you aGre

And you don't have to chFmaj7ange a thing

The world could change iAmts heart

No scars to your beCautiful, we're stars and we're beautifGul

And you don't have to Fmaj7change a thing
