Wake  up everyone
 How can you sleep at a time  like this
 Unless the dreamer is the real you
 Listen to your voice
 The one that tells you
 To taste  past the tip of your tongue
 Leap in, the net  will appear
 I don't wanna wake before
 The dream  is over
 I'm gonna make  it mine
 Yes I,  I know it
 I'm gonna make  it mine
 Yes I'll make  it all mine
I  keep my life on a heavy  rotation
 Requesting that it's lifting you up,  up, up and away
 And over to a table at the Gratitude Cafe
 And I  am finally there
 And all  the angels they'll be singing
Ah  la la la, ah  la la la
I  la la la la love  this
 I don't wanna break before
 The tour  is over
 I'm gonna make  it mine
 Yes I,  I'll own it
 I'm gonna make  it mine
 Yes I'll make  it all mine
And  timing's everything
 And this time there's plenty
 I am balancing
 Careful and steady
 And revelling  in energy that everyone's  emitting
 Well I don't wanna wait  no more
 Oh I  wanna celebrate the whole  world
 I'm gonna make  it mine
 Oh yes I'm  following your joy
 I'm gonna make  it mine
 Because I,  I am open
 I'm gonna make  it mine
 That's why,  I will show it
 I'm gonna  make it mine
 Gonna make  it mine
 Oh mine
 Yes I'll make it all mine

 Well you done  done me and you bet I felt it
 I tried  to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
 I fell  right through the cracks, now I'm trying  to get back
 Before the cool  done run out I'll be giving it my best test
 And nothing's  going to stop me but divine intervention
 I reckon  it's again my turn to win some or learn  some
 But I  won't hesitate  no more, no more
 It cannot wait,  I'm yours
 Well open  up your mind and see like me
 Open up your plans and then you're free
 Look into your heart and you'll find love,  love, love, love
Listen  to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
 We're just one big family
 And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved,  loved, loved, loved, loved
 So I  won't hesitate  no more, no more
 It cannot wait,  I'm sure
 There's no need  to complicate,  our time is short
 This is our fate,  I'm yours
--do  do you, but do you, --do
 But do  you want to come on
Scooch  on over closer dear
 And I will nibble your ear
 I've been spending  way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
 And bending  over backwards just to try to see it clearer
 But my breath  fogged up the glass
 And so I drew  a new face and I laughed
 I guess  what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
 To rid  yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
 It's what  we aim to do, our name  is our virtue
 But I  won't hesitate  no more, no more
 It cannot wait,  I'm yours
Open  up your mind and see like me
Open  up your plans and damn you're free
Look  into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
 (It cannot wait,  I'm sure)
So  please don't, please don't, please don't
 (There's no need to complicate) There's  no need to complicate
 (Our time is short) 'Cause  our time is short
 (This is our fate) This  is, this is, this is our fate
 I'm yours

 Do you hear  me? I'm talking to you
 Across the water  across the deep blue  ocean
 Under the open  sky, oh my,  baby I'm trying
 Boy I hear  you in my dreams
 I feel your whisper  across the sea
 I keep you with  me in my heart
 You make it easier  when life  gets hard
 I'm lucky  I'm in love  with my best friend
 Lucky to have been where  I have been
 Lucky to be coming home  again
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
They  don't know how long  it takes
Waiting  for a love  like this
 Every time we say goodbye
 I wish we  had one more  kiss
 I'll wait for you I promise you,  I will
 I'm lucky  I'm in love  with my best friend
 Lucky to have been where  I have been
 Lucky to be coming home  again
Lucky  we're in love  in every way
 Lucky to have stayed  where we have stayed
Lucky  to be coming  home someday
 And so I'm sailing  through the sea
 To an island  where we'll meet
 You'll hear  the music fill  the air
 I'll put a flower in  your hair
Though  the breezes through  the trees
Move  so pretty you're all I see
 As the world  keeps spinning 'round
You  hold me right  here, right  now
 I'm lucky  I'm in love  with my best friend
 Lucky to have been where  I have been
 Lucky to be coming home  again
Lucky  we're in love  in every way
 Lucky to have stayed  where we have stayed
Lucky  to be coming  home someday
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh
Ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh, ooh

I'm  taking a moment just imagining that I'm dancing with you
 I’m your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes
 You got soul, you know what to do to turn  me on
 Until I write a song  about you
And  you have your own engaging style
 And you've got the knack to vivify
 And you make my slacks a little tight
 You may unfasten  them if you like
 That’s if you crash  and spend the night
 But you don't fold,  you don't fade
 You got everything  you need, especially me
Sister,  you've got it all
 You make the call  to make my day
 In your message  say my name
 Your talk is all  the talk
Sister,  you've got it all
 You got it all
 Curl your upper lip  up and let me look around
Ride  your tongue along your bottom  lip then bite down
And  bend your back and ask those hips  if I can touch
 'Cause they're the perfect  jumping off point
 Getting closer to your butterfly
 Will you float on by?
 Oh, kiss  me with your eyelashes tonight
 Or Eskimo  your nose real close  to mine
 And let's mood  the lights and finally make it right
 But you don't fold,  you don't fade
 You got everything  you need, especially me
Sister,  you've got it all
 You make the call  to make my day
 In your message  say my name
 Your talk is all  the talk
Sister,  you've got it all
You  got it all, you  got it all, you  got it all
You  got it all, you  got it all, you  got it all
You  got it all, woo,  hey baby, uh
You've  got it all
Doll,  I need to see you pull your knee  socks up
 Let me feel you upside  down, slide in, slide out
 Slide over  here, climb into my mouth now child
 Butterfly  well you landed on my mind
 Damn right  you landed on my ear and then you crawled  inside
 And now  I see you perfectly behind  closed eyes
I  want to fly with you and I  don't want to lie to you
 'Cause I, 'cause I can't recall  a better day
 So I’m coming  to shine on the occasion
You're  an open-minded lady, you've  got it all
 And I never forget  a face
 Except for maybe  my own, I have my days
 And let’s face  the fact here
 It's you  who's got it all
 You know that fortune  favors the brave
 Well let  me get paid while I make your breakfast
The  rest is up to you, you  make the call
 You make the call  to make  my day
 In your message  say my name
 Your talk  is all the talk
Sister,  you've got it all
 I can't recall  a better day
 So I’m coming  to shine on the occasion
Hey  sophisticated lady, oh  you got it all
 You got it all, you got it all
You  got it all, you  got it all, you  got it all
You  got it all, you  got it all, you  got it all
You  got it all! Hey!  You got it all, woo!
You  got it all
You  got it all
You  got it all
 Butterfly, baby,  well you got it all

 I try to picture a girl  through a looking glass
 And see her as a carbon  atom, see her eyes  and stare back at them
 See the girl  as her own new world
 Though her home  is on the surface she is still  a universe
Glory  God, oh God is peeking through  the blinds
 Are we  all here standing naked
 Taking guesses  at the actual date and time
Oh  my, justifying reasons  why
 Is an absolutely  insane resolution  to live by
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously takin'  it easy
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously
 I try to picture the man  to always have an open hand
 See him as a giving  tree, see him as matter
 Matter of fact he's not a beast
 No, not the devil either,  always a good deed doer
 Well, it's laughter  that we're makin'  after all
 The call  of the wild is still in order nationwide
 In the order  of the primates all our politics  are too late
 Oh my, the congregation  in my mind
 Is an assembly  selling gratitude and practicing  their lovin' of you
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously takin'  it easy
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously
 And oh, let's  take it easy  and celebrate  the malleable reality
 Because nothing is ever as it seems,  this life is but a dream
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously takin'  it easy
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously, let's  take it easy
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously takin'  it easy
 Live high,  live mighty
Live  righteously, let's  take it easy.

 There's a picture  on my kitchen wall
 Looks like Jesus  and his friends involved
 There's a party  getting started in the yard
 There's a couple  getting steamy  in the car  parked in  the drive
 Was I  too young to see this with my eyes?
 By the pool  last night, apparently
 The chemicals  weren't mixed properly
 You hit  your head and then forgot your name
 And then you woke  up at the bottom  by the drain
 And now your altitude  and memory's a shame
What  about taking  this empty  cup and filling  it up
 With a little  bit more of innocence
 I haven't  had enough, it's probably  because when you're young
 It's okay  to be easily ignored
 I like to believe it was all  about love for a child
 And when the house was left in shambles
 Who was there to handle  all the broken bits of glass
 Was it mom  who put my dad  out on his ass  or the other  way around
 Well I'm far  too old to care about that now
What  about taking  this empty  cup and filling  it up
 With a little  bit more of innocence
 I haven't  had enough, it's probably  because when you're young
 It's okay  to be easily ignored
 I'd like to believe it was all  about love for a child
It's  kinda nice  to work the floor  since the divorce
 I've been enjoying  both my Christmases  and my birthday cakes
 And taking  drugs and making  love at far  too young an age
 And they never  check to see my grades
 What a fool  I'd be to start complaining now
What  about taking  this empty  cup and filling  it up
 With a little  bit more of innocence
 I haven't  had enough, it's probably  because when you're young
 It's okay  to be easily ignored
 I'd love to believe it's all  about love for a child
 It was all  about love...

Calm  down
Deep  breaths
 And get  yourself dressed instead
 Of running around
 And pulling all your threads saying
 Breaking yourself up
 If it's a broken  part, replace it
 But, if it's a broken arm then brace it
 If it's a broken  heart then face it
 And hold your own
 Know your name
 And go your own  way
 Hold your own
 Know your own name
 And go your own  way
And  everything  will be fine
 Mmm
Hang  on
 Help is on  the way
Stay  strong
 I'm doing  everything
 And hold your own
 Know your name
 And go your own  way
 Hold your own
 Know your own name
 And go your own  way
And  everything,  everything  will be fine
 Everything
 Are the details  in the fabric
 Are the things  that make you panic
 Are your thoughts  results of static cling?
 Are the things  that make you blow
 Hell, no reason,  go on and scream
 If you're shocked  it's just the fault
 Of faulty manufacturing.
 Yeah everything  will be fine
 Everything  in no time  at all
 Everything
 Hold your own
 And know your name
 And go your own way
 Are the details  in the fabric (Hold your own,  know your name)
 Are the things  that make you panic
 Are your thoughts  results of static cling? (Go your own  way)
 Are the details  in the fabric (Hold your own,  know your name)
 Are the things  that make you panic (Go your own  way)
 Is it Mother  Nature's sewing machine?
 Are the things  that make you blow (Hold your own,  know your name)
 Hell no reason  go on and scream
 If you're shocked  it's just the fault (Go your own  way)
 Of faulty manufacturing
 Everything  will be fine
 Everything  in no time  at all
 Hearts will hold

I'm  sippin' coffee at a quarter to two
I  wake and I'm dialin' and my mind's runnin' to you
No  wonder I'm a one woman man
She  keeps my heart in a jar  on the nightstand
I  should tell her that she couldn't be more
Opposite  than a foot in the door
There's  no one else I would rather go out with
That's  hell when I see them standin'  there
Me  and my mouth, we don't mean to be rushin'
We  talk about thee freely 'cos we crushin'
I  wanna shake both sides of the butt, yeah
Theoretically  yes, ain't  we lucky
And  when the coyotes, they  sing in the park
It's  when the city lights start fallin'  for the sea
While  them roads are windin' down
 And the flying  men'll hit the ground
Every  motion is close to the touch
 And the  coyotes sing when they call on your lovin'
 Hello, we're  comin' back for more
You  know why we're comin' for you
You  know we should be, we should be together
'Cause  once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not  today or tomorrow
 And not  today or tomorrow, oh no
You  better lock your doors
You  know why, 'cause we want you
'Cause  we like you a lot
I  wish the world was a lot like you
I  wish the world would know me through
Another  opportunity to approach you
Another  telepathic rendez-vous
I  wish you well with your walkin' and joggin'
You  got a double side in Mexico
I  gotta try to keep your attention
Gotta  write usin' less emoticons
I  gotta figure out the snooze alarm
I  wanna lay in your place till dark
I  wanna play in the park, come on
Now  let me see your other upper echelon
And  when the coyotes escape  to New York
Then  the city life has crumbled  to the sea
And  the girls, all fall to the lost and found
The  flying men'll hit the ground
Every  motion is closer to touching the  coyotes sing
 When they taste on your lovin'
I'm  a coyote and I got a taste for your lovin'
We're  comin' back for more
You  know why we're comin' for you
You  know we should be, we  should be together
Because  once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not  today or tomorrow, not today or tomorrow, oh no
Because  once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not  today or tomorrow
We're  comin' back for more
You  know why we're comin' for you
You  know we should be, we should be together
'Cause  once we rock, we won't wanna stop
Not  today or tomorrow

 (Jason doesn't play throughout parts of the song, it is all based around a
 keyboard riff, which plays in the parts where there are no chords.)
 A squirrel in the tree is he watching me
 Does he give a damn?
 Does he care who I am?
 I'm just a man, is that all I am
 Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?
 I'm human
 Murderous crow, hey what you know
 What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
 Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
 A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
 Are you a riddle to solve all along?
 Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all
 Only human
 Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
The  planet's talking about a revolution
The  natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've  got a right to live their own life
But  we keep paving over paradise
 'Cause we're only human
Yes  we are, only  human
If  it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only  human
Yes  we are, yes we are
Only  human, only human, only human
So far:
 Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy
 Think in 1923
 Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb
 What you'll find is the product of a seed
 The seed is sown, all alone
 It grows above, with a heart of love
 Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing
 We're all breathing in
The  planet's talking about a revolution
The  natural laws ain't got no constitution
They've  got a right to live their own life
But  we keep paving over paradise
 'Cause we're only human
Yes  we are, only  human
If  it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only  human
Yes  we are, only  human,  only human, so  far, so  far
And  this place it will outlive  me
Before  I get to heaven I'll  climb that tree
And  I will have to give my thanks
For  giving me the branch to swing  on
If  I ever fall  in love
I'll  have to give myself a baby
I  will let my children have their  way
 'Cause we're only human, yes we are
 Only human, so  far, so  far

 I've got the dynamo  of volition
 With po-pole position
Automatic  transmission with  lo-ow emissions
 I'm a brand  new addition to the old edition
 With the love unconditional.
 I'm a drama  abolitionist
 Damn no opposition to my proposition
Half  of a man, half magician
 Half a politician  holding the mic
 Like ammunition
 And my vision  is as simple as light.
Ain't  no reason we should be in a fight
 No demolition
 Get to vote, get  to say what you like
 Procreation
Compositions  already written by themselves
Heck  is for the people not believin'  in gosh
 Good Job
 Get 'em up way high
 Gimme gimme  that high five
 Good time
 Get 'em way down low
 Gimme gimme  that low dough
 
 Bring 'em back again
 Gimme gimme  that high ten
 You're the best  definition of good intention.
 I do not answer the call  if
 I do not know who is calling
 I guess the whole point of it all  is
 That we never know really
 I'm tryin' to keep with the Joneses
 While waiting for guns and the roses
 To finish what we all suppose  is
 Gonna be the shit so sue  me
 Oh, fist  like pumping and wrist lock
 Twisting up a rizla
Kid  Icarus on the transistor
 Nintendo been givin'  me the blister
 I bend over take  it in the kisser
 My best  friends are hittin' on my sister.
 Try to tell them that they still wish-a
Cause  she already got herself a mister
 And besides  that's gross to want to dis her
Didn't  I say, Didn't  I say
 Good Job
 Get 'em up way high
 Gimme gimme  that high five
 Good time
 Get 'em way down low
 Gimme gimme  that low dough
 
 Bring 'em back again
 Gimme gimme  that high ten
 You're the best  definition of good  versus evil
I  do not keep up with statistics
I  do not sleep without a mistress
I  do not eat unless it's fixed with
Some  kind of sweet like a licorice
My  home is deep inside the mystics
I'm  known to keep diggin' on existence
I'm  holdin' in the heat like a fishstick
My  phone it beeps because I missed  it.
 I do not answer the call  if
 I do not know who is calling
 I'm making no sense of it  all
 Say, can I get a witness
 I'm only a boy in a story
 Just a hallucinatory
 Trippin' on nothing there  is
 Living in the wilderness
 With a tiger  spot on my back
Living  life of a cat
 I just  wanna relax here
 And write  another rap tune
Driving  off on your blind man's bike
 You can say  just what you like
 Or nothing  can stop you
 Good Job
 Get 'em up way high
 Gimme gimme  that high five
 Good time
 Get 'em way down low
 Gimme gimme  that low dough
 
 Bring 'em back again
 Gimme gimme  that high ten
You're  the best
You're  the best
You're  the best
You're  the best
You're  the best
You're  the best
You're  the best
 Good Job
 Get 'em up way high
 Gimme gimme  that high five
 Good time
 Get 'em way down low
 Gimme gimme  that low dough
 
 Bring 'em back again
 Gimme gimme  that high ten
You're  the best definition of good intention
You're  the best definition of good intention
You're  the best definition of good intention
You're  the best around

Hello,  tell me you know,  yeah, you've figured me out
Something  gave it away
 And it  would be such a beautiful moment  to see the look on your face
To  know that I know  that you know now
 And baby  that's a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
'Cause  you and I, why we go carrying  on for hours on end
We  get along much better  than you  and your boyfriend
 Well, all  I really want to do is love  you
 A kind much closer than friends  use
 But I still can't say it after all  we've been through
 And all  I really want from you is to feel  me
 As the feeling inside keeps building
 And I will find a way to you if it kills  me, if it kills  me
Well,  how long can I go on  like this, wishing to kiss you
Before  I rightly explode
 And this  double life I lead isn't healthy  for me in fact it makes me nervous
If  I get caught I could be risking it all
 Well, baby there's a lot that I miss in case I'm wrong
All  I really want to do is love  you
 A kind much closer than friends  use
 But I still can’t say it after all  we've been through
 And all  I really want from you is to feel  me
 As the feeling inside keeps building
 And I will find a way to you if it kills  me, if it kills  me
 If I should be so bold, I'd ask  you to hold my heart  in your hand
Tell  you from the start how I've longed  to be  your man
 But I never  said a word I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again
All  I really want to do is love  you
 A kind much closer than friends  use
 But I still can’t say it after all  we've been through
 And all  I really want from you is to feel  me
 As the feeling inside keeps building
 And I will find a way to you if it kills  me, if it kills  me
 I think it might kill me
 And all  I really want from you is to feel  me
 It's a feeling inside that keeps building
 And I will find a way to you if it kills  me, if it kills  me
 It might kill  me

 You’ve got the best  of both worlds
 You’re the kind of girl who can take  down a man
 And lift  him back up again
 You are strong  but you’re needy, humble  but you’re greedy
Based  on your body language and shawty  cursive I’ve been reading
 You’re style  is quite selective but your mind  is rather reckless
 Well, I guess  it just suggests that this is just  what happi-ness  is
Hey,  what a beautiful mess this  is
It’s  like picking up trash in dresses
 Well, it kind  of hurts when the kind  of words you write
 And kind  of turn them-selves  into knives
 And don’t mind  my nerve you can call  it fiction
 'Cause I like  being submerged in your contra-dictions, dear
 'Cause here  we are, here  we are
Although  you were biased I love  your advice
 Your comebacks  they’re quick and probably
 Have to do  with your insecurities
 There’s no shame  in being crazy depending  on how you take these
Words  they're paraphrasing this relationship were  staging
And  it’s a beautiful mess, yes,  it is
It’s  like we're picking up trash in dresses
 Well, it kind  of hurts when the kind  of words you say
Kind  of turn them-selves  into  blades
 And the kind  and courteous is a life  I’ve heard
 But it’s nice  to say that we played  in the dirt
 'Cause here,  here we are,  here we are
Here  we are, here  we are
Here  we are, here  we are
Here  we are, here  we are
Here  we are, we're  still here
And  what a beautiful mess this  is
It’s  like taking a guess when the only  answer is yes
 And through timeless  words and priceless  pictures
 We’ll fly  like birds not  of this  earth
 And tides  they turn and hearts  disfigure
 But that’s no  concern when were wounded together
 And we tore  our dresses and stained  our shirts
 But it's nice  today, oh, the wait  was so worth  it

[Cmaj7]Wake up every[Bm7]one
How can you sleep at a [Am7]time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you [Cmaj7]

Listen to your [Bm7]voice

The one that tells you
To [Am7]taste past the tip of your tongue
Leap in, the [Cmaj7]net will appear

I don't wanna [Am7]wake [D]before
The [Bm7]dream is [Em7]over
I'm gonna [Am7]make it [D]mine
Yes [Bm7]I, I know [Em7]it

I'm gonna [Am7]make it [D]mine
Yes I'll [Cmaj7]make it all mine

[Cmaj7]I keep my life on a [Bm7]heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you [Am7]up, up, up and away
And over to a table at the Gratitude Cafe [Cmaj7]

And [Cmaj7]I am finally [Bm7]there
And [Cmaj7]all the angels they'll be singing
[Am7]Ah la la la, [Cmaj7]ah la la la
[Am7]I la la la la [Bm7]love this

I don't wanna [Am7]break [D]before
The [Bm7]tour is [Em7]over
I'm gonna [Am7]make it [D]mine
Yes [Bm7]I, I'll own [Em7]it

I'm gonna [Am7]make it [D]mine
Yes I'll [Cmaj7]make it all mine

[Eb]And timing's every[Bb]thing
And this time there's plenty [Eb]
I am balancing [Bb]

Careful and steady
And [C]revelling in energy that every[D]one's emitting

Well I don't wanna [Am7]wait no [D]more
Oh [Bm7]I wanna celebrate the [Em7]whole world
I'm gonna [Am7]make it [D]mine
Oh yes [Bm7]I'm following your [Em7]joy

I'm gonna [Am7]make it [D]mine
Because [Bm7]I, I am [Em7]open
I'm gonna [Am7]make it [D]mine
That's [Bm7]why, I will show [Em7]it

I'm [Am7]gonna make it [D]mine
Gonna [Am7]make it mine
Oh [D]mine
Yes I'll make it all [Cmaj7]mine

Well you [B]done done me and you bet I felt it
I [F#]tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I [Abm]fell right through the cracks, now I'm [E]trying to get back

Before the [B]cool done run out I'll be giving it my best test
And [F#m]nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I [Abm]reckon it's again my turn to win some or [E]learn some

But [B]I won't hesi[F#]tate no more, no [Abm]more
It cannot [E]wait, I'm yours

Well [B]open up your mind and see like [F#]me
Open up your plans and then you're [Abm]free
Look into your heart and you'll find [E]love, love, love, love

[B]Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and [F#]sing
We're just one big [Abm]family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be [E]loved, loved, loved, loved, [Em]loved

So [B]I won't hesi[F#]tate no more, no [Abm]more
It cannot [E]wait, I'm sure
There's no [B]need to compli[F#]cate, our time is [Abm]short
This is our [E]fate, I'm yours

[B]                          [F#]
[D]-[D]-do do you, but do you, [D]-[D]-do
But [Abm]do you want to come on
[E]Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your [A]ear

I've been [B]spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And [F#]bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my [Abm]breath fogged up the glass
And so I [E]drew a new face and I laughed

I [B]guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To [F#]rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's [Abm]what we aim to do, our [E]name is our virtue

But [B]I won't hesi[F#]tate no more, no [Abm]more
It cannot [E]wait, I'm yours

[B]Open up your mind and see like me
[F#]Open up your plans and damn you're free
[Abm]Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot [E]wait, I'm sure)

[B]So please don't, please don't, please don't
(There's no need to complicate) [F#]There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short) [Abm]'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate) [E]This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm [B]yours

[Em7]I'm taking a moment just imagining that I'm dancing with [Am7]you
I’m your pole and all you're wearing is your [Bm7]shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to [Cmaj7]turn me on
Until I write a [B7]song about you

[Em7]And you have your own engaging [Am7]style
And you've got the knack to [Bm7]vivify

And you make my slacks a little tight
You may [Cmaj7]unfasten them if you like
That’s if you [B7]crash and spend the night

But you don't [Am7]fold, you don't [Bm7]fade
You got [Em7]everything you need, especially [Am7]me
[Bm7]Sister, you've got it [Em7]all

You make the [Am7]call to make my [Bm7]day
In your [Em7]message say my name
Your talk is [Am7]all the talk
[Bm7]Sister, you've got it [Em7]all

You got it all

Curl your upper [Am7]lip up and let me look around
[Bm7]Ride your tongue along your [Em7]bottom lip then bite down
[Cmaj7]And bend your back and ask those [Fmaj7]hips if I can touch
'Cause they're the [B7]perfect jumping off point
Getting closer to your butter[Em7]fly

Will you float on [Am7]by?
Oh, [Bm7]kiss me with your eyelashes [Em7]tonight
Or [Cmaj7]Eskimo your nose real [Fmaj7]close to mine
And let's [B7]mood the lights and finally make it right

But you don't [Am7]fold, you don't [Bm7]fade
You got [Em7]everything you need, especially [Am7]me
[Bm7]Sister, you've got it [Em7]all

You make the [Am7]call to make my [Bm7]day

[Am7]You got it all, [Bm7]you got it all, [Em7]you got it all

[Am7]You got it all, [Bm7]woo, hey baby, u[Em7]h
[Am7]You've got it all

[Am7]Doll, I need to see you pull your [Cmaj7]knee socks up
Let me feel you [Gmaj7]upside down, slide in, slide out
Slide [B7]over here, climb into my mouth now child

Butter[Em7]fly well you landed on my [Am7]mind
Damn [Bm7]right you landed on my ear and then you [Em7]crawled inside
And [Cmaj7]now I see you perfectly [Fmaj7]behind closed eyes
[B7]I want to fly with you and [Am7]I don't want to lie to you

'Cause I, 'cause I can't [Am7]recall a better [Bm7]day
So I’m [Em7]coming to shine on the occa[Am7]sion
[Bm7]You're an open-minded lady, [Em7]you've got it all

And I never for[Am7]get a [Bm7]face
Except for [Em7]maybe my own, I have my days
And let’s [Am7]face the fact here
It's [Bm7]you who's got it [Em7]all

You know that [Am7]fortune favors the [Bm7]brave
Well [Em7]let me get paid while I make your [Am7]breakfast
[Bm7]The rest is up to you, [Em7]you make the call

You make the [Am7]call to [Bm7]make my day
In your [Em7]message say my name
Your [Am7]talk is all the talk
[Bm7]Sister, you've got it [Em7]all

I can't [Am7]recall a better [Bm7]day
So I’m [Em7]coming to shine on the occa[Am7]sion
[Bm7]Hey sophisticated lady, [Em7]oh you got it all

You got it all, you got it all
[Am7]You got it all, [Bm7]you got it all, [Em7]you got it all
[Am7]You got it all, [Bm7]you got it all, [Em7]you got it all

I try to picture a [A]girl through a looking [C#m7]glass
And see her as a [Dsus2]carbon atom, see her [Dm7]eyes and stare back at them
See the [A]girl as her own new [C#m7]world
Though her [Dsus2]home is on the surface she is [Dm7]still a universe

[A]Glory God, oh God is peeking [C#m7]through the blinds
Are [Dsus2]we all here standing naked
Taking [Dm7]guesses at the actual date and time
[A]Oh my, justifying [C#m7]reasons why
Is an [Dsus2]absolutely insane [Dm7]resolution to live by

Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously [Dm7]takin' it easy
Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously [Dm7]

I try to picture the [A]man to always have an open [C#m7]hand
See him as a [Dsus2]giving tree, see him as [Dm7]matter
Matter of fact he's not a [A]beast
No, not the devil [C#m7]either, always a good deed doer
Well, it's [Dsus2]laughter that we're [Dm7]makin' after all

The [A]call of the wild is still in order [C#m7]nationwide
In the [Dsus2]order of the primates all our [Dm7]politics are too late [A]
Oh my, the [C#m7]congregation in my mind
Is an [Dsus2]assembly selling gratitude and [Dm7]practicing their lovin' of you

Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously [Dm7]takin' it easy
Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously [Dm7]

And oh, [Dsus2]let's take it [Dm7]easy and [C#m7]celebrate the malleable [Bm7]reality
Because nothing is ever as it [Dm7]seems, this life is but a dream

Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously [Dm7]takin' it easy
Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously, [Dm7]let's take it easy

Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously [Dm7]takin' it easy
Live [A]high, live [C#m7]mighty
[Bm7]Live righteously, [Dm7]let's take it easy.

There's a [A]picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like [C#m]Jesus and his friends involved
There's a [F#]party getting started in the [Bm]yard
There's a [Bm]couple getting [Dm]steamy in the [A]car parked [C#m]in the [F#m]drive
Was [Bm]I too young to see this with my [Esus4]eyes?  [E]

By the [A]pool last night, apparently
The [C#m]chemicals weren't mixed properly
You [F#]hit your head and then forgot your [Bm]name
And then you [Bm]woke up at the [Dm]bottom by the [A]drain
And now your [Bm]altitude and memory's a [Esus4]shame  [E]

[A]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [A]little bit more of [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [A]young
It's [C#7]okay to be [D]easily [Dm7]ignored
I like to believe it was [D]all about love for a [A]child

And when the house was left in [C#m]shambles
Who was there to [F#]handle all the broken bits of [Bm]glass
Was it [Bm]mom who put my [Dm]dad out on his [A]ass or the [C#m]other way [F#m]around
Well I'm [Bm]far too old to care about that [Esus4]now    [E]

[A]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [A]little bit more of [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [A]young
It's [C#7]okay to be [D]easily [Dm7]ignored
I'd like to believe it was [D]all about love for a [A]child

[G]It's kinda [Bm]nice to work the [A]floor since the [C#m7]divorce
I've been [G]enjoying both my [Bm]Christmases and my birthday [A]cakes
And [G]taking drugs and [Bm]making love at [A]far too young an [C#m]age
And they [G]never check to see my grades
What a [E]fool I'd be to start [E/G#]complaining [A]now

[A]What about [Bm7]taking this [C#m7]empty cup and [Bm7]filling it up
With a [A]little bit more of [Bm7]innocence
I [C#m7]haven't had enough, it's [Bm7]probably because when you're [A]young
It's [C#7]okay to be [D]easily [Dm7]ignored
I'd love to believe it's [D]all about love for a [A]child

It was [D]all about [A]love...

[Fmaj7]Calm down
[Em7]Deep breaths

Breaking yourself up

If it's a [Em7]broken heart then face it

And hold your [C]own
Know your [Em7]name

Hold your [C]own
Know your own [Em7]name

And hold your [C]own

And go your [Am7]own way
Hold your [C]own
Know your own [Em7]name
And go your [Am7]own way

[Gsus4]And every[F]thing, every[G]thing will be [F]fine
Every[G]thing

Are the [C]details in the fabric
Are the [Em7]things that make you panic
Are your [Am7]thoughts results of static cling?

Are the [C]things that make you blow
Hell, no [Em7]reason, go on and scream
If you're [Am7]shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty [Gsus4]manufacturing. [F]

Yeah every[G]thing will be [F]fine
Every[G]thing in no [F]time at all
Every[G]thing

Hold your [C]own
And know your [Em7]name
And go your own [Am7]way

Are the [C]details in the fabric (Hold your [C]own, know your [Em7]name)
Are the [Em7]things that make you panic
Are your [Am7]thoughts results of static cling? (Go your [Am7]own way)

Are the [C]details in the fabric (Hold your [C]own, know your [Em7]name)
Are the [Em7]things that make you panic (Go your [Am7]own way)
Is it [Am7]Mother Nature's sewing machine?

Are the [C]things that make you blow (Hold your [C]own, know your [Em7]name)

[Bm7]I'm sippin' coffee at a quarter to two
[D]I wake and I'm dialin' and my mind's runnin' to you
[Em]No wonder I'm a one woman man
[G]She keeps my heart in a [F#]jar on the nightstand

[Bm7]I should tell her that she couldn't be more
[D]Opposite than a foot in the door
[Em]There's no one else I would rather go out with
[G]That's hell when I see them [F#]standin' there

[Bm7]Me and my mouth, we don't mean to be rushin'
[D]We talk about thee freely 'cos we crushin'
[Em]I wanna shake both sides of the butt, yeah
[G]Theoretically yes, [F#]ain't we lucky

[Em]And when the coyotes, [Bm7]they sing in the park
[Em]It's when the city lights start [Bm7]fallin' for the sea
[Em]While them roads are windin' down
And the [Bm7]flying men'll hit the ground
[Em]Every motion is close to the touch
And [F#]the coyotes sing when they call on your lovin'

Hello, [Bm7]we're comin' back for more
[D]You know why we're comin' for you
[Em]You know we should be, we should be together
[G]'Cause once we rock, we won't wanna stop
[F#]Not today or tomorrow

And [Bm7]not today or tomorrow, oh no
[D]You better lock your doors
[Em]You know why, 'cause we want you
[G]'Cause we like you a lot [F#]

[Bm7]I wish the world was a lot like you
[D]I wish the world would know me through
[Em]Another opportunity to approach you
[G]Another telepathic rendez-[F#]vous

[Bm7]I wish you well with your walkin' and joggin'
[D]You got a double side in Mexico
[Em]I gotta try to keep your attention
[G]Gotta write usin' less emoti[F#]cons

[Bm7]I gotta figure out the snooze alarm
[D]I wanna lay in your place till dark
[Em]I wanna play in the park, come on
[G]Now let me see your other upper eche[F#]lon

[Em]And when the coyotes [Bm7]escape to New York
[Em]Then the city life has [Bm7]crumbled to the sea
[Em]And the girls, all fall to the lost and found
[Bm7]The flying men'll hit the ground
[Em]Every motion is closer to touching [F#]the coyotes sing

When they taste on your lovin'

[Bm7]I'm a coyote and I got a taste for your lovin'
[D]We're comin' back for more
[Em]You know why we're comin' for you
[G]You know we should be, [F#]we should be together

[Bm7]Because once we rock, we won't wanna stop
[D]Not today or tomorrow, not today or tomorrow, oh no
[Em]Because once we rock, we won't wanna stop
[G]Not today or tomo[F#]rrow

[Bm7]We're comin' back for more
[D]You know why we're comin' for you
[Em]You know we should be, we should be together
[G]'Cause once we rock, we won't wanna stop
[F#]Not today or tomorrow

(Jason doesn't play throughout parts of the song, it is all based around a
keyboard riff, which plays in the parts where there are no chords.)

A squirrel in the tree is he watching me

Does he give a damn?

Does he care who I am?

I'm just a man, is that all I am

Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?

I'm human

Murderous crow, hey what you know

What you reading about, what you hold in your toes

Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace

A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece

Are you a riddle to solve all along?

Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all

Only human

Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
[F]The planet's talking about a [G]revolution
[Em]The natural laws ain't got no [Am]constitution
[Dm]They've got a right to live their own life
[Amaj7]But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
[Fm]Yes we are, [Gm]only human
[A]If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being [Bb]only human
[Fm]Yes we are, yes we are
[Gm]Only human, only human, only human
[Bb]So [A]far:

Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy

Think in 1923

Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb

What you'll find is the product of a seed

The seed is sown, all alone

It grows above, with a heart of love

Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing

We're all breathing in

[F]The planet's talking about a [G]revolution
[Em]The natural laws ain't got no [Am]constitution
[Dm]They've got a right to live their own life
[Amaj7]But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human
[Fm]Yes we are, [Gm]only human
[A]If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being [Bb]only human
[Fm]Yes we are, [Gm]only human,[Fm] only human, [Bb]so far, [A]so far

[Bb]And this place it will [A]outlive me
[C]Before I get to heaven [G]I'll climb that tree
[F#]And I will have to give my [F]thanks
[F#]For giving me the branch to [Bb]swing on
[A]If I ever [Ab]fall in [G]love
[F#]I'll have to give myself a [F]baby
[F#]I will let my children have their[Ab] way

'Cause we're only human, yes we are
Only human, [Bb]so far, [A]so far

B|---3-----2-----3-----3---|
G|---2-----2-----0-----4---|
D|---4-----4-----0-----3---|
A|---2-----4-----2-----5---|
E|---x-----2-----3-----5---|

I've got the [Bm7]dynamo of volition

With po-pole position
[F#m]Automatic transmission [G]with lo-ow emissions
I'm a [Bm7]brand new addition to the old edition
With the [F#m]love [G]unconditional.

I'm a [Bm7]drama abolitionist
Damn no opposition to my [F#m]proposition
[G]Half of a man, half magician
Half a [Bm7]politician holding the mic

Like ammunition
And my [F#m]vision is as simple as [G]light.

[Bm7]Ain't no reason we should be in a fight

No demolition
Get to vote, [F#m]get to say what you like

Procreation
[Bm7]Compositions already written by themselves
[F#m]Heck is for the people not [G]believin' in gosh

Good [Bm7]Job

Get 'em up way high
Gimme [F#m]gimme that high [G]five
Good [Bm7]time

Get 'em way down low
Gimme [F#m]gimme that low [G]dough
     [Bm7]
[Good] [God]

Bring 'em back again
Gimme [F#m]gimme that high [G]ten
You're the [Bm7]best definition of [F#m]good [G]intention.

I do not answer the [A9]call if
I do not know who is [F#m]calling
I guess the whole point of it [G]all is
That we never know [Bm7]really

I'm tryin' to keep with the [A9]Joneses
While waiting for guns and the [F#m]roses
To finish what we all [G]suppose is
Gonna be the shit so [Bm7]sue me

Oh, [Bm7]fist like pumping and wrist lock

Twisting up a rizla
[F#m]Kid Icarus on the transistor
Nintendo been [Bm7]givin' me the blister
I bend over [F#m]take it in the [G]kisser

My [Bm7]best friends are hittin' on my sister.

Try to tell them that they still wish-a
[F#]Cause she already got herself a mister
And [Bm7]besides that's gross to want to dis her
[F#m]Didn't I say, [G]Didn't I say

Good [Bm7]Job

Get 'em up way high
Gimme [F#m]gimme that high [G]five
Good [Bm7]time

Get 'em way down low
Gimme [F#m]gimme that low [G]dough
     [Bm7]
[Good] [God]

Bring 'em back again
Gimme [F#m]gimme that high [G]ten
You're the [Bm7]best definition of [F#m]good versus [G]evil

[Bm7]I do not keep up with statistics
[F#m]I do not sleep without a mistress
[Bm7]I do not eat unless it's fixed with
[F#m]Some kind of sweet like a [G]licorice
[Bm7]My home is deep inside the mystics
[F#m]I'm known to keep diggin' on existence
[Bm7]I'm holdin' in the heat like a fishstick
[F#m]My phone it beeps because I [G]missed it.

I do not answer the [A9]call if
I do not know who is [F#m]calling
I'm making no sense of [G]it all
Say, can I get a [Bm7]witness

I'm only a boy in a [A9]story
Just a hallucina[F#m]tory
Trippin' on nothing [G]there is
Living in the wilder[Bm7]ness

With a [Bm7]tiger spot on my back
[F#m]Living life of a cat
I [Bm7]just wanna relax here
And [F#m]write another rap [G]tune
[Bm7]Driving off on your blind man's [F#m]bike
You can [Bm7]say just what you like
Or [F#m]nothing can stop [G]you

Good [Bm7]Job

Get 'em up way high
Gimme [F#m]gimme that high [G]five
Good [Bm7]time

Get 'em way down low
Gimme [F#m]gimme that low [G]dough
     [Bm7]
[Good] [God]

Bring 'em back again
Gimme [F#m]gimme that high [G]ten

[Bm7]You're the best
[F#m]You're the best
[Bm7]You're the best
[F#m]You're the best
[Bm7]You're the best
[F#m]You're the best
[G]You're the best

[Bm7]You're the best definition of good intention
[F#m]You're the best definition of good intention
[G]You're the best definition of good intention

[Bm7]You're the best [G]around

[D]Hello, tell me you [E]know, yeah, you've figured me out
[D]Something gave it [E]away
And [D]it would be such a beautiful [E]moment to see the look on your face
[D]To know that I [E]know that you know [Em]now

And [Em]baby that's a case of my [D]wish[F#m]ful  [Em]thin[D]king
[A]You [D]know [Em]nothing
[D]'Cause you and I, why we go [E]carrying on for hours on end
[D]We get along much [E]better than [Em]you and your boyfriend

Well, [D]all I really want to do is [F#m]love you
A kind much closer than [Bm]friends use
But I still can't say it after [G]all we've been [Gm]through

And [D]all I really want from you is to [F#m]feel me
As the feeling inside keeps [Bm]building
And I will find a way to you if it [G]kills me, if it [Gm]kills me

[D]Well, how long can I go [E]on like this, wishing to kiss you
[D]Before I rightly [E]explode
And [D]this double life I lead isn't [E]healthy for me in fact it makes me nervous
[D]If I get caught I could be risking it [E]all [Em]
Well, baby there's a lot that I [D]miss [F#m]in  [Em]case [D]I'm [A]wrong

[D]All I really want to do is [F#m]love you
A kind much closer than [Bm]friends use
But I still can’t say it after [G]all we've been [Gm]through

And [D]all I really want from you is to [F#m]feel me
As the feeling inside keeps [Bm]building
And I will find a way to you if it [G]kills me, if it [Gm]kills me

If I should be so bold, I'd [D]ask you to hold my [Em]heart in your hand
[D]Tell you from the start how I've [Em]longed to [D]be your [A]man
But I [A]never said a word I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

[D]All I really want to do is [F#m]love you
A kind much closer than [Bm]friends use
But I still can’t say it after [G]all we've been [Gm]through

And [D]all I really want from you is to [F#m]feel me
As the feeling inside keeps [Bm]building
And I will find a way to you if it [G]kills me, if it [Gm]kills me
I think it might [Bm]kill [Gm]me

And [D]all I really want from you is to [F#m]feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps [Bm]building
And I will find a way to you if it [G]kills me, if it [Gm]kills me
It might [D]kill me

12. A Beautiful Mess

A|---2-----6-----4-----7-----9-----4-----6---|
E|---0-----4-----2-----5-----7-----2-----4---|

You’ve got the [E]best of both worlds [Abm]
You’re the kind of girl who can [F#m]take down a man
And [A]lift him back up [B]again

You are [E]strong but you’re needy, [Abm]humble but you’re greedy
[F#m]Based on your body language and [A]shawty cursive I’ve been [B]reading
You’re [E]style is quite selective but your [Abm]mind is rather reckless
Well, I [F#m]guess it just suggests that this is [A]just what happi-[B]ness is

[A]Hey, what a beautiful mess [B]this is
[A]It’s like picking up trash in [B]dresses

Well, it [E]kind of hurts when the [Abm]kind of words you write
And [F#m]kind of turn them-[A]selves into [B]knives
And don’t [E]mind my nerve you can [Abm]call it fiction
'Cause I [F#m]like being submerged in your [A]contra-[B]dictions, [F#]dear
'Cause [A]here we [F#]are, [A]here we [E]are

[E]Although you were biased I [Abm]love your advice
Your [F#m]comebacks they’re quick and probably
Have to [A]do with your [B]insecurities
There’s no [E]shame in being crazy [Abm]depending on how you take these
[F#m]Words they're paraphrasing this [A]relationship [B]were staging

[A]And it’s a beautiful mess, [B]yes, it is
[A]It’s like we're picking up trash in [D]dresses

Well, it [E]kind of hurts when the [Abm]kind of words you say
[F#m]Kind of turn them-[A]selves into[B] blades
And the [E]kind and courteous is a [Abm]life I’ve heard
But it’s [F#m]nice to say that we [A]played in the [B]dirt
'Cause [A]here, here we [F#]are, here we [A]are

[E]Here we are, [Ab]here we are
[F#]Here we are, [A]here we [B]are
[E]Here we are, [Ab]here we are
[F#]Here we are, [A]we're still [B]here

[A]And what a beautiful mess [B]this is
[A]It’s like taking a guess when the [B]only answer is yes

And through [E]timeless words and [Abm]priceless pictures
We’ll [F#m]fly like birds [A]not of [B]this earth
And [E]tides they turn and [Abm]hearts disfigure
But that’s [F#m]no concern when were [A]wounded [B]together
And we [E]tore our dresses and [Abm]stained our shirts
But it's [F#m]nice today, oh, the [A]wait was so [B]worth it
