[Dm] [Gm] [Bb] [A] (run - A - 0 E - 3 1 0]
[Verse 1]
[Dm] He left no time to re- [Gm] gret,
Kept his dick [Bb] wet, with his same old safe [A] bet.
[Dm] Me... and my head [Gm] high,
And my tears [Bb] dry; get on without [A] my guy.
[Verse 2]
[Dm] You went back to what you [Gm] knew,
So far [Bb] removed, from all that we went [A] through.
And [Dm] I... tread a troubled [Gm] track,
My odds are [Bb] stacked; I'll go back [A] to black.
(run - A - 0 E - 3 1 0]
[Chorus 1 - Light snare]
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to... (stop drums)
[N.C.] I go back to us [Dm] (light drums back in)
[Verse 3 - Higher harmonies here]
[Dm] I love you [Gm] much,
It's not e- [Bb] nough; you love blow and I [A] love puff.
And [Dm] life is like a [Gm] pipe,
And I'm a tiny [Bb] penny rolling up the walls [A] inside.
(run - A - 0 E - 3 1 0]
[Chorus 2]
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to...
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to...
[Break]

[Dm] Black... [Bbmaj7] black,
[F] Black... [A] black.
[Dm] Black... [Bbmaj7] black,
[F] Black... [A] I go back to... [A7] I go back to... (drums back in)
[Chorus 3]
[Dm] We only said goodbye with [Gm] words; I died a hundred times.
[Bb] You go back to her and [A] I go back to...

she said i love you bayayayay [A] by
[Straight beat vamp]
[Verse - Beat straightens BxSS xxS - Chords follow snare]
[Dm] so i said, what you sayin girl it cant be right
[A] How can you be in love with me, we only just met tonight
[Dm] so she said.. boy i loved you from the start
[A] when i first heard love goes down, something started burning in my heart
[F] i said stop this crazy [A] talk
[F] and leave right now and close the [A] door
[Chorus - Beat still straight]
[Dm] she said but i love you boy i love you so
she said i love you baby oh oh oh [A] oh
[Dm] she said i love you more than words can say
she said i love you bayayayay [A] by (yes you did)
[Rap - beat straight]
[Straight beat vamp]
[Dm] so now I'm up in the courts
pleading my case in a witness box
telling the judge and jury
the same thing that i said to the cops
[A] on the day that i got arrested
im innocent I protested
she just feels rejected
had her heart broken by someone she's obsessed with
[Dm] she likes sound on my music
she makes out a fan of my music
thats why "love goes down" makes her lose it
cos she cant seperate the man from the music
[A] and im saying all this from the stand
while my girl cries tears from the galleries
this got bigger than i ever could have planned
like that song by the Zutons "Valerie"
[F] so the jury dont look like their buying it
and shes making me nervous
[A] arms crossed, screwed faced like im trying it
their eyes fixed on me like im murderous
[F] they wanna lock me up
and throw away the key
[A] they wanna send me down
even though i told them she..
[Drums SSSS SSSS SSSS SSS with A - then back to swing for a bit]
[Chorusm - Still swung - BxSS xxS]
[Dm] she said i love you boy
i love your soul
she said i love you baby oh oh oh oh [A] (drums straighten out) - yes you did
[Dm] she said i love you more than words can say
she said i love you bayayayay [A] by
so i said why the hell you gotta treat me this way (stop drums)
[Dm] you don't know what love is
you wouldn't do this if you [A] did
oh no no no noo [Dm - strum fast and light to end]

Gloria Gaynor-I Will Survive
[Intro]
[E7b9-020101]
[Verse 1]
At [Am] first I was afraid, I was [Dm] petrified,
Kept thinking [G] I could never live without you [Cmaj7] by my side.
But then I [Fmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking [Bm7b5-x20201] how you did me wrong,
And I grew [Esus4] strong; and I learned [E] how to get along.
And so you're [Am] back, from outer [Dm] space,
I just walked [G] in to find you here, with that sad [Cmaj7] look upon your face.
I should have [Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock,
I should have [Bm7b5] made you leave your key,
If I had [Esus4] known for just one second, you'd be [E] back to bother me.
[Chorus]
Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door;
Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive, hey he [Am] y
[Interlude]
[Am] [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Bm7b5] [Esus4] [E]
[Verse 2]
It took [Am] all the strength I had not to [Dm] fall apart.
Kept trying [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [Cmaj7] broken heart.
And I spent [Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling [Bm7b5] sorry for myself,
I used to [Esus4] cry, but now I [E7] hold my head up high.
And you see [Am] me; somebody [Dm] new,
I'm not that [G] chained up little person, still in [Cmaj7] love with you.
And so you [Fmaj7] felt like dropping in and just ex [Bm7b5] pect me to be free,
Now I'm [Esus4] saving all my loving, for some [E] one who's loving me.
[Chorus]
Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door;
Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive... oh
[Chorus]
Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door;
Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more.
[Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive,
Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive.
I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give,
And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive, I will sur [Am] vive...
