Flying blind

[C]                    [G]
I don't know where I'm going

[F]                  [G]
it's an uncharted sky

[C]                          [G]
I don't think I even really noticed

[F]              [G]
what I'm feeling inside

[C]            [G]
love is so uncertain

[F]                    [G]
you can say what's in store

[C]               [G]
this is deeper farther and higher

[F]             [G]
than I've been before
 
 

CHORUS:

            [C]    [G]               [F]  [G]
I'm flying blind wherever your love takes me

        [C]       [F]            [C/G]?
letting go and I don't care if I fall

   [Am]                   [F]
I close my eyes with you beside me

        [C]             [F]
follow faith and let it guide me

[F]                 [(C)]         [G]
tonight I'm leaving all my fears behind

           [C]
I'm flying blind
 

[C]                [G]
I won't question tomorrow

[F]               [G]
it's a mystery to me

[C]                     [G]
I just know what your touching me does

        [F]                [G]
I know this is where I wanna be

[C]                [G]
it's a risk worth taking

[F]                  [G]
I don't want to come down

[C]                 [G]
play my heart got my cards on the table

       [F]            [G]
got my head up in the clouds

 Lonely too

Capo on 1st fret
Intro: C/G/F G/C

C             G
How can you ask me how have I been,
  F          G
I think that you should know well the shape that I'm in.
   C         G
You say that you wondered if I was O.K.,
     F     G   C
well that's a damn fool thing to say.

    C    G
The water is risin', the water is wide,
    F          G
and you're always standin', on the other side.
    C        G
And then comes the moment, I wake before dawn,
     F       G         C
with hours to lie here alone.

 G      F
And you seem so surprised that I'm feelin' this way,
    G     F     G
how am I so lonely today.
   C    G
If you ever loved me the way I loved you,
F      G      C
you would be lonely, too.

So here's to the lovers for old times sake,
    F    G
who don't hold eachother to the promise they brake.
    C     G
And smile through the window and wave on the street,
       F       G      C
'cause that's all you want now from me.

G     F
Should I say something to put you at ease,
   G  F    G
or should I get down on my knees?
   C    G
If you ever loved me the way I loved you,
F      G      C
you would be lonely, too.

   C    G
If you ever loved me the way I loved you,

     you would be lonely, too.

Just like the moon

[C]               [F]             [G]
I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair

[C]                        [F]             [G]
and I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere

          [Am]            [F]            [C]     [G]
While the sky turned watercolor pink and gold en blue

         [Am]               [F]               [C]            [G]
and the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon

        [Am]                     [F]     [C]                 [F]
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why it took so long to say goodbye

      [C]                 [F]          [C]       [F]
You shined so bright you blinded me and left so I couldn't see.
 
 

Chorus:
 

        [C]   [F]          [G]
I was the moon chasing the sun

          [C]      [F]             [C]   [G]
there was never a prayer of ever catching up

        [C]  [F]           [G]        [C]  [F]           [G]
No matter how fast I would run like the moon chasing the sun

             [C] [F]           [G]
Just like the moon chasing the sun
 
 

[C]                          [F]                  [G]
The crickets called and the moon peeked out of an eastern sky

[C]             [F]            [G]
They both start up about this time each night

       [Am]                   [F]               [C]      [G]
And an evening breeze stopped by and brought some sweet relief

    [Am]      [F]            [C]            [G]
in the silver light I finally let go of the heat

       [Am]                     [F]
and I thought 'bout you and I wondered why

[C]                        [F]
it took so long for you to say goodbye

    [Am]                   [F]      [C]              [F]
you shined so bright you blinded me and left me so I couldn't see

I'd be yours

I'd Be Yours - Ilse DeLange

Capo on 1st fret
Intro: G/D/C/D/ 2x

   G         D   C    D
If I were a ghost, I'd haunt your house, hang out in your rafters,
G  D       C        D
you could be my mister Adams, I could be your Casper.
    G        D         C    D
I'd share with you my afterlife of the unexplained,
G    D   C    D
Walk through your walls, let you rattle my chains.
 G /D/C/D/ G/D/C/D/
Yes I would.

       G     D       C    D
And if I were a snake, I'd be a constrictor, slicker than oil,
G              D  C        D
I'd entice you with my slither, wrap you in my coils.
   G       D         C   D
You could tie me in a thousand knots and just watch me unfold,
G       D       C          D        G D/C/D/
Hypnotise you with my stare, swallow you whole. Think about it.

chorus:

Em    A        C    G  \  D
  Welcome to my world of make believe, check your reality at the door.
Em     A         C        D
  Within my wishes and my wildest dreams, if I could be anything well baby,
   G /D/C/D/ G/D/C/D/
I'd be yours.

       G    D      C      D
And if I were a bird, I'd be an owl, wise beyond my years,
G      D          C        D
  watch over you each night, calm you of your fears.
G          D        C   D
You could set my head to spinnin', with those little things you do,
       G    D   C     D /G/D/C/D/
like sayin' it was me you loved, when I asked you "who".

chorus:

Em    A         C    G  \  D
  Welcome to my world of make believe, check your reality at the door.
Em     A         C        D

I'd be yours.

Flying solo

 

"Flying solo"

[C]                     [G]
'cross the bearing strait to a foreign land

[F]               [C]         [G]
I took to the sky just like I planned

[C]                     [G]
left my old life behind there in the ice and snow

[F]                     [G]
followed the rainbow to Mexico

          [C]                     [G]
somewhere this side of lucky just shy of going down

          [F]                    [G]
there's a pilot with her wings on fire

         [C]                        [G]
and she doesn't even notice she's got magic on her mind

            [F]                [G]
'cause she's flying solo for the first time
 

CHORUS:

      [Am] [F]           [C]          [G]
flying  solo     like an angel in the night

      [Am] [F]      [C]            [G]
flying solo      across the great divide

          [Am]    [F]        [Am]   [F]
I've been down so low now I'm up so high

             [Am]            [F]
there ain't nothin' short of dying

         [C]               [G]
is gonna make me change my mind

      [Am][F] [C][G]           [Am][F] [C] [G]
flyin' solo         ,   flyin' solo
 

[C]
like a fallin' leaf

[G]
I fell down from your tree

[F]              [G]
chalk one up to prosperity

[C]
in search of warmer waters

[G]
I'm like a bird gone south

[F]
don't know just what I'll find

    [G]
but I'm finding out

             [C]
now here I'm dancin' with the moon

        [G]
spinning out of control

[F]               [G]
never be the same again

                 [C]
'cause there's a place on the horizon

         [G]
where it hardly ever rains

    [F]
the sun is always shining

[G]
freedom is it's name

(CHORUS)

[F]                   [C]       [G]
around the world that where I'll be

[F]                    [C]       [G]
Amelia earheart's got nothin' on me

(CHORUS)
*********************************************************
 

Old tears

[C]
Walking that line saying I'm fine

                                     [Em]
thought I kicked you off my mind long ago

          [F]
Though you tore me apart when you broke my heart

                           [C]
I never, ever, ever let it show

[F]
I can't keep this storm inside me anymore

[G]
I can't stop this rain that's got to pour
 

CHORUS:
 

           [C]                                 [Am]
I'm crying old tears the dam is breaking after all these years

                      [F]                                  [G]
and you know what.... I don't care I don't care who sees me cry

          [C]                                     [Am]
I've been so strong but there's no way that I can move on

                         [F]  [G]                    [F] [C]
No, this pain will never disappear until I cry these old tears.
 

[C]
Just the littlest thing, the sound of your mind

                                    [Em]
I start to feel this ache inside my soul

         [F]
I try to lock it all in, push it all down

                                [C]
it's just so hard to keep it in control

[F]
I could fill the ocean baby I'm so blue

[G]
the only way that I'll get over losing you

          [C]
is crying old tears.......

*************************************************************

I'm not so tough

Intro starts with
E - - -|
B - - -|
G 6 - -| Fading in
D - - -|
A - - -|
E - - -|
The best thing you can do is getting your hand ready for the C#m chord and just play the 3rd string.
Then: C#m/C#m/A/A/ 2x

C#m         A      C#m
I can almost read your mind, it's runnin' fast, out of control.
        A
You're afraid of what you'll find, if you get too close.
B A        B      A        B
   You imagine I don't care, you see walls that just aren't there.
    A
You think I'm too strong to let you in, well that's just not fair.

chorus:
       C#m      A        E        B
I'm not so tough, I'll call your bluff, and let you see a side of me
       C#m          A           E          B
that wants you here and cries real tears and needs someone to love,
        C#m /C#m/A/A/
I'm not so tough.

Ok, here comes a little diddy:
When the guitar plays this last four (4) chords, another guitar plays:

E - - 7|
B - 5 -|
G 6 - -|
D - - -|
A - - -|
E - - -|

But you'll have to listen to the song to get it, really.

C#m      A          C#m
I know that you've been hurt before, well so have I, what can you do,
         A       B
That doesn't mean you close the door, so stop blamin' me, I don't blame you,
    A    B         A         B
I'm not some ghost from your past, the one who tore your heart in half,
    A
I'm not her, it's not my fault, you're holding on to that.
 

       C#m      A        E        B
I'm not so tough, I'll call your bluff, and let you see a side of me
      C#m           A           E          B
that wants you here and cries real tears and needs someone to love,
         C#m C#m/A/A
I'm not so tough.

E - - 7|
B - 5 -|  On the two (2) 'A's again...
G 6 - -|
D - - -|
A - - -|
E - - -|

Solo B/A/B/A/B/A/A/A/

       C#m      A        E        B
I'm not so tough, I'll call your bluff, and let you see a side of me
       C#m           A           E          B
that wants you here and cries real tears and needs someone to love,
       C#m      A        E        B
I'm not so tough, I'll call your bluff, and let you see a side of me
       C#m           A           E          B
that wants you here and cries real tears and needs someone to love,
         C#m /C#m/A/A/C#m/C#m/A/A/
I'm not so tough.

C#m/C#m/A/A/C#m/C#m/A/A/

E - - 7|
B - 5 -|  On this eight (8) chords again...
G 6 - -|
D - - -|
A - - -|
E - - -|

Then:
C#m/C#m/A/A/C#m/C#m/A/A/ and repeating all over in a fade with:

E 5 5 4 2 0|5 5 4 2 0|
B - - - - -|- - - - -| Anyway mainly this riff, it's one
G - - - - -|- - - - -| big "Country-mix" EXTRA
D - - - - -|- - - - -| actually... But -hey- it sounds good,
A - - - - -|- - - - -| so who cares? :)
E - - - - -|- - - - -|

Ilse plays the chords this way (capo on 2nd string):

  C#m| A| E | B|
E  |4|5|4|2|
B  |5|2|5|4|
G  |6|2|4|4|
D  |6|2|2|4|
A  |4|4|2|2|
E  |4|5|X|2|

But for the advanced people you can, in my opinion, take the chords this way:

     C#m| A| E | B|
E  |4|5|0|7|
B  |5|5|0|7|
G  |6|6|1|8|
D  |6|7|2|9|
A  |4|7|2|9|
E  |4|5|0|7|

When we don't talk

     [G]                      [C]
The silence that's fallen between us

       [G]                       [C]
is the loneliest sound that I"ve heard

[G]        [C]   [Am]
how can we find forgiveness

   [F]               [G]
if we can't find the words
 

CHORUS:

              [C]
when we don't talk

              [Am]
when we don't speak

              [F]
when we don't share all the feelings

         [C]      [G]
that are buried so deep

[C]
how can we know

       [Am]              [F]      [C][G]
what's hidden behind these walls

                 [C]
when the door's locked

             [Am]
when we lose touch

            [F]              [C]??
when you and I lose sight of us

              [F]??                     [G]
the honesty's lost and the tears say it all

              [C]
when we don't talk

    [G]            [C]
when so much goes unspoken

     [G]           [C]
and sorry is left unsaid

     [G]            [Am]
the silence remains unbroken

    [F]                     [G]
and our hearts are breaking instead

(CHORUS)

Tapdancing on the highwire (geen akkoorden)

*******************************************************
 

You are the dream

    [C]               [Am]
I'd lived my life convinced I'd find

   [F]                [C]
your love somehow, someway

   [C]             [Am]
I held on to the faith that you

       [F]              [G]
would show yourself one day

   [Am]          [F]
something in me believed

   [Am]                [G]
this night was meant to be
 
 

CHORUS:

[C]                   [Am]
You are the promise I made to my heart

[F]                  [G]
you are the vision I saw in the dark

[C]                  [Am]
you are the reason I waited so patiently

[Am]                 [G]
so many nights when I closed my eyes

    [C]                  [F]
it's you that I have seen

  [Am]          [F] [G]        [C]
I am the dreamer, you are the dream
 
 

     [C]          [Am]
it wasn't always clear to see

     [F]             [C]
where I was headed to

 
      [C]                     [Am]
but of all life's roads somehow I chose

    [F]             [G]
the one that led to you

  [Am]                         [F]
it doesn't matter how far I've been

 [Am]               [G]
I found my journey's end

&&*&*&*&*&&&&*&&*&*&**&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&**&*
 

All the answers

       [D]
When I call you in the morning

                          [G]
I tell you everything is alright

        [Em]
I can't see into the future

                               [A]
I don't see the danger in the night

        [D]
When I hear the siren wailing

            [G]
I see the flashing of the light

    [Em]
I know that there is trouble

               [A]?
and there are battles yet to fight

             [G]
'cause I may not have all the answers

[A]                          [D]
I wouldn't have it any other way

            [D]
there's an innerpeace I'm seeking

                          [G]
there's a lightness in my soul

        [Em]
and everytime I think I found it

                             [A]
I want to touch it, feel it, hold

        [D]
And the day that I stop asking

       [G]
is the day I'll say goobye

     [Em]
the world may not be safer

                 [A]
but there is no truth without a lie

      [G]
I may not have all the answers

[A]                          [D]
I wouldn't have it any other way

          [G]                          [A]
No, I may not have all the answers, no

                             [D]
I wouldn't have it any other way
 
 

      [Bm]
I've asked the good Lord Jesus
 

I'm asking Alah too

      [F#m]
and I tried the great God Buddah
 

and now I'm asking you

             [G]
'cause I may not have all the answers

[A]                          [D]
I wouldn't have it any other way
 

             [D]
When you're deep in troubled water

                               [G]
you've got to fight for every breath

        [Em]
and you feel you're getting weaker

                                 [A]
you're facing life you're facing death

           [D]
and if you have a God to turn to

         [G]
oh don't turn the other way

      [Em]
or a friend that you can call on

        [G]?               [A]?
just a prayer that you can say

      [G]
I may not have all the answers

[A]                          [D]
I wouldn't have it any other way

          [G]                         [A]
No ,I may not have all the answers, no

                             [D]
I wouldn't have it any other way
