Barrowland Ballroom

Key: GCapo 1Easy

Oh the Glights outside they're as bright as the sun

They're much Cbrighter than anyone

Oh the Ggirls in the queue yes they're waiting for you

Well they're Cwaiting for their song to be sung

And when the Amnight turns to day and all the Cpeople go away

It's not the Gsame, tell me who's to Dblame?

And when the Amstars shine so bright on the Ccold December night

I wish that GI was on the staDge

Oh Amwon't you take a ride with me

Through the DBarrowland, our history

And IG'll sing you a song orC two

AmPeople they may stop and stare but Dbaby I just don't care

GIt's all I need, Cand knew

And they'll Amdrink and dance and don't you know

It's Dall part of the show we're going to

GMaybe have to tell Cyou

The Ampeople they may stop and stare but Dbaby I just don't care

ToniCght, it's onlyD me and yGou

Oh noGthing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling

When the Cband start to play

Won't you Gbuy me a drink and I'll tell her what I think

If she Cgets in my way

And when theAm night turns to day and all theC people go away

It's not the Gsame, tell me who's to Dblame?

And when the Amstars shine so bright on the Ccold December night

I wish that GI was on the staDge

Oh Amwon't you take a ride with me

Through the DBarrowland, our history

And I'Gll sing you a song or Ctwo

AmPeople they may stop and stare but Dbaby I just don't care

GIt's all I need, Cand knew

And they'll Amdrink and dance and don't you know

It's Dall part of the show we're going to

GMaybe have to tell Cyou

The Ampeople they may stop and stare but Dbaby I just don't care

ToniCght, it's onlyD me and yGou

And when the Amnight turns to day and the Dlights they fade away

I wish that Glove and life would Cpass me by

And when the Amband stops a song because there's Dsomething going on

Well there is Gmagic in the air I Cswear

And I Amwish that I saw Bowie Dplaying on that stage

I wCish that I saw something, to Dmake me come of age

(relativo ao capo)

Oh Amwon't you take a ride with me

Through the DBarrowland, our history

And I'Gll sing you a song or Ctwo

AmPeople they may stop and stare but Dbaby I just don't care

GIt's all I need, Cand knew

And they'll Amdrink and dance and don't you know

The Contender

Key: GEasy

IG've been written off so many times before

I've forgCotten what it feels like to succeed anymore

GAlways on the sidelines, waiting in the wings

When the cCurtain finally falls, I'm never on the screen

And I'Gve got the scars to prove I've been there

IC've got the marks from when I tried

IEm've covered miles and miles to get here

COnly for you to cast me aside

But I'll still rGun, run like the wEmiiiiinnnCnd

And I'll still stGart, all over agEmaaaaaiiiCin

I gave it Gall, cause I had to make it

I gave it Emall, cause I had to trCy

I sacrifGiced my close relations

For the chEmance to say I trCied

I've nGever learned to win, I don't know what it means

I lCost myself when we were young, I'm fighting just to feel

GAlways on the edge, I just want to make my name

I'd lCove to show the world what I gave up for the game

And I'Gve got the scars to prove I've been there

IC've got the marks from when I tried

IEm've covered miles and miles to get here

COnly for you to cast me aside

But I'll still rGun, run like the wEmiiiiinnnCnd

And I'll still stGart, all over agEmaaaaaiiiCin

I gave it Gall, cause I had to make it

I gave it Emall, cause I had to trCy

I sacrifGiced my close relations

For the chEmance to say I trCied

And I'Gve got the scars to prCove I've been there

IG've got the marks from whDen I tried

IG've covered miles and mCiles to get here

GOnly for you to cDast me aside

And I'Gve got the scars to prCove I've been there

IG've got the marks from whDen I tried

IG've covered miles and mCiles to get here

GOnly for you to cDast me aside

F#m

C#m

In the dEay we sweat it out on the streets of a rAunaway American drB7eam

At nEight we ride through the mansions of glory inA suicide machB7ines

SprAung from cages out on Abmhighway 9

Chrome wF#mheeled, fuel injected,and sAbmteppin' out over the lEine

ABaby this town rips the bAbmones from your back

It's a dF#meath trap, it's a Abmsuicide rap

We gotta get oEut while we're yC#moung

'Cause trAamps like us, B7baby we were born to rEun A B7 E A B7

Wendy lEet me in I wanna be your friend

I want to guAard your dreams and B7visions

Just wrEap your legs 'round these velvet rims

andA strap your hands 'cross B7my engines

TogAether Wendy we could bAbmreak this trap

We'll F#mrun till we drop and Abmbaby we'll never go bEack

Will you wAalk with me out on the wAbmire

'Cause F#mbaby I'm just a scared and Abmlonely rider

But I gEotta know how it fC#meels

I want to kAnow if love is wild

Babe I wB7ant to know if love is rEeal A B7 E A B7

BeyDond the Palace hemi-powered drones scrGeam down the boulevard

Girls cAomb their hair in rearview mirrors

And the bCoys try to look so hard

The amDusement park rises bold and stark

Kids are hGuddled on the beach in a mist

I wanna dAie with you Wendy on the street tonight

In an Ceverlasting kiss

The hEighway's jammed with broken heroes on a lAast chance power dB7rive

EEverybody's out on the run tonight

but there's Ano place left to hB7ide

TogAether Wendy we can lAbmive with the sadness

I'll F#mlove you with all the Abmmadness in my sEoul

SAomeday girl I Abmdon't know when

we're gonna F#mget to that place

Where we Abmreally want to Ego

and we'll walk in the C#msun

But till then trAamps like us

A Piece Of My Heart

Key: GCapo 1Easy

GNobody Dever could Emsee just what was coming, Cnobody thought that it was Dtrue

GAnd nobody Dknew that Emwe would miss each other, Cquite as much as we Ddo

CSomething's gotta Dchange they say, Gnothing will be the same they Emsay

CNothing will Dprepare you for that Gday D

GCos something came along like a bolt from the blue

EmAnd it changed your life, and it changed mine too

And Cnothing feels the same, nothing feels the same at all D

GAnd the world went quiet and the lights went dark

EmAnd once we were together now we're miles apart

CI'm sending you a piece, sending you a piece of my heart D

So we'll never be apart G

GNobody Dever really Emknew how much we loved, and Cnobody knew how much we Dhurt

GAnd no-one would Dforesee the Emstrength of you and me, CI never knew we ran so deep D

CSomething's gotta Dchange they say, Gnothing will be the same they Emsay

CNothing will Dprepare you for that Gday D

GCos something came along like a bolt from the blue

EmAnd it changed your life, and it changed mine too

And Cnothing feels the same, nothing feels the same at all D

GAnd the world went quiet and the lights went dark

EmAnd once we were together now we're miles apart

CI'm sending you a piece, sending you a piece of my heart D

So we'll never be apart G

Nobody can Emtell us no

We're much stronger Cthan we know

We'll be back Gagain, singing with our friends, before we know D

Nobody can Emtell us no

We're much stronger Cthan we know

We'll be back Gagain, dancing with our friends, before we know D

GCos something came along like a bolt from the blue

EmAnd it changed your life, and it changed mine too

And Cnothing feels the same, nothing feels the same at all D

GAnd the world went quiet and the lights went dark

EmAnd once we were together now we're miles apart
