Anyone familiar with Julia Nunes and her work will know that one of her most
used instruments is the Ukulele. This particular album features both Ukulele and
Acoustic Guitar pieces. Here I will clear up how to mimic the Ukulele sound on
an acoustic or classical Guitar, for anyone without a Ukulele instrument.

This bed is so hot
I cannot get the covers off
They stick to me like leather seats
In cars at eighty-thousand degrees
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
Did you leave somethin behind?
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
It looked like nothing at the time
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
And now you fear that its too late
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
They just can't believe it
There is nothing between you and me
I'd rather Plead The Fifth
Than talk about the girl you're still in love with
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
Did you leave somethin behind?
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
It looked like nothing at the time
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
And now you fear that its too late
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)
(Ahh ahhhhhh)
But I don't know what I was expecting to find
Am I losing my mind, or just biding my time?
TRANSITION 1:
Maybe I won't - (Maybe I won't)
Maybe I will - (Maybe I will)
Maybe I won't - (Maybe I won't)
Maybe I will - (Maybe I will)
Maybe I won't - (Maybe I won't)
Maybe I will - (Maybe I will)
Maybe I won't - (Maybe I won't)
Maybe I will - (Maybe I will)
(Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh)

Am I losing my mind, or just biding my time?
TRANSITION 2:

Well, the way you pull the fuzzies from my sweater
Doesn't make up for the times you let me sink into the floor
And the lies you told to make me feel all better
They didn't work, so please don't tell me any more
I'm waking up to see the sun
It's a light that lets me know a new day's begun
I can leave behind the terrors of my unconscious mind
N/
Into the sunshine
TRANSITION 1:
Tell me this; why do you run away?
Just when I decided to say something true for once
You should try it, and say what you mean
'Cause I can't read the lines - let alone in between
I'm waking up to see the sun
It's a light that lets me know a new day's begun
I can leave behind the terrors of my unconscious mind
N/
Into the sunshine
TRANSITION 2:
And I know my mellow tone can be misleading
But I've just put my anger to good use
You see I've given up on begging and pleading
Every scratch on this guitar is because of you
I'm waking up to see the sun
It's a light that lets me know a new day's begun
I can leave behind the terrors of my unconscious mind
N/
Into the sunshine
I'm waking up to see the sun
It's a light that lets me know a new day's begun
I can leave behind the terrors of my unconscious mind
N/
Into the sunshine

I've gotten used to being introduced
Hello, what's your name, how are you?
They see my smile, my laugh, and the hurt behind my eyes
Loss is not so easily disguised
I've tried my best to keep on with my sunny disposition
But I close my eyes and end up reminiscing...
So save me from waking up tonight
Save me from waking up tonight
'Cause I toss and I turn and it doesn't feel right
Please save me from waking up tonight
Left to my own devices I'd stay up to 3 A.M.
Spend the whole day barely awake and then... do it all again
'Cause my dreams are filled with pleasantries that make me think you're here with me
They won't let my poor heart mend
I have tried my darnedest to continue smiling wide
But I miss you and that's something I can't hide...
So save me from waking up tonight
Please save me from waking up tonight
I thought I was fine but it looks as if I might
Not make it through the night
So save me from waking up tonight
Save me from waking up tonight
'Cause I toss and I turn and it doesn't feel right
Please save me from waking up tonight

I'm a peeping Tom, I shamelessly
Watch the windows next to me
When it's dark outside
There's nowhere they can safely hide
I can see you when you get ready to go out
And other stuff you're embarrassed about
And when you sing off key I can't hear you
But I see that your mouth is moving
"Can you see me?"
I only watch you when I'm bored
You replace all the gadgets that I can't afford
Don't know your name
But I like the PJs that you wore
Please don't be creeped out by me
You're my miniature T.V.
Comb your hair and brush your teeth
So obliviously
"Can you see me?"
When your lights are off, I wonder where you go
'Cause I want to serenade you from my window...
TRANSITION 1:
I can sit and be amused
By your scandalous dance moves
And if you're sick of dancing alone
I will come and dance with you
"Can you see me?"
"Can you see me? Am I creepy?"
Well, I'll come dance with you - (Can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you - (Can you see me?)
I'll come dance with you, I'll come dance with you
I'll come dance with you, if you want me to...

Difference of opinions keep us apart
But that won't take you out of my heart
I think that you're funny, and I think that you're smart
And I think it's even cuter when you say that you aren't
TRANSITION 1:
I saw you across the room
We never really spoke but still I knew
That you and me were meant to be
Close if not romantically
TRANSITION 2:
And I've tried hard, to prove that I am strong
But you know, and I know, that I've been wrong
And we talked for a while with our opposite styles
And I thought it might work if only for a while
Together we make such uncomfortable sounds
You open your mouth and I'm laughing so loud
See I can talk forever
N/
Except when it counts...
TRANSITION 3:
We don't write notes anymore
But that's alright, I've gone through this before
It's been three weeks since we have spoken
And look at me - my heart's not broken
TRANSITION 4:
And I've tried hard, to prove that I am strong
But you know, and I know, that I've been wrong
And it's not fair to blame this all on you
'Cause we all got reasons for doing the things we do
N/
But I gotta tell you, I'm not... amused
TRANSITION 5:
Well, I'm not sorry for the times
I left you in the dirt behind me
You'd do the same thing if you were me
BRIDGE :
Well, I'm not sorry for the times
I left you in the dirt behind me
You'd do the same thing if you were me
TRANSITION 5:
I'm tempted to run through the halls
Screaming, "Thanks for nothing!"
I'm tempted to run through the halls
Screaming, "Thanks for nothing!"

It's nice... to know where I stand
Even though it didn't turn out as I planned
It's more annoying than anything
To be one who us wondering
We were dangling by a string
Waiting for someone to do something
When I am over you, it will be great
TRANSITION:
The thought of you with someone else makes me want to take the shelf
Of all the shit you gave to me, throw it out the window
See it fly through the air as it goes - yell it out so they all know
That I am gonna let you go, I am gonna let you go...
When I am over you, it will be... great

Well, it's close to home by blood or block
I hate the bed and I hate the dock
This loss of life is killing me
Effecting unexpectedly
But what's one more? Yeah, let me go
Let me suffer nice and slow
The pack is watching patiently
Stand in line to wait and see
But that's the problem seeing it coming, does nothing 'til it comes
We're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums
But it's too late, too late and I don't know when it turned into fate
Unavoidable, so I better get prepared
It's too late, but I'll take ignorance over being so scared...
TRANSITION 1:
I'm not coming out of this box 'til everyone's forgotten me
This aught to be a welcome vacation
I'm not coming out of this box 'til everyone's forgotten me
My thoughts will be secluded elations
PRE-VERSE:
I'm starting to loose track
Of who's alive and who has passed
On and on and on
And who is here and who is gone
That's the problem seeing it coming, does nothing 'til it comes
We're deaf until the heavens are beating the drums
But it's too late, too late and I don't know when it turned into fate
Unavoidable, so I better get prepared
It's too late, but I'll take ignorance over being so scared...
TRANSITION 2:
If anyone here wants to die, give it a shot you should try
I've been totally desensitised - these eyes have cried all they can cry
If anyone here wants to die, give it a shot you should try
I've been totally desensitised - these eyes have cried all they can cry
If anyone here wants to die, give it a shot you should try
I've been totally desensitised - these eyes have cried all they can cry
"But it's too late..."

If you were the ground beneath my feet
I'd find a way to float, or just walk so gently
If you were a star in the night sky
I'd figure out how to fly, or just walk with my head high
They pushed me around, but they haven't knocked me down
Flowers die, so I'll plant a pot inside
Babies grow, and buy their own homes
To fill with families of their own
If you were the clouds that bring the shadows
The dark won't make me sad, though I'd miss you
I'll make shadow puppets and I'll laugh
Because I know you'd love it, and I'll cry a little too
If I were God, I'd destroy all religion
Abolish all divisions, and leave the world with love
And I'd probably take you up with me
Because we're selfish here above
Yeah, they pushed me around, but they haven't knocked me down
Flowers die, so I'll plant a pot inside
Babies grow, and buy their own homes
To fill with families of their own
We've lost a lot, but we've got much more
And if you need comfort, that's what we're here for
And if the ground shall crumble, and the stars shall fall
I will hold your hand, and we'll both stand tall
They pushed me around, but they haven't knocked me down
Flowers die, so I'll plant a pot inside
Babies grow, and buy their own homes
To fill with families of their own
I'm not so scared...
I'm not so scared...
I'm not so scared...
I'm not so scared...

Well, I'm lying here on the floor just like the man on the yellow cone
I guess the floor was wet so I'm cold and I'm all alone
'Cause I was running down the stairs I didn't think that I could fall
But gravity took over me, and I crumpled like a ball
But if you would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust me off and push my hair aside
Well, it's later than I thought - and I thought it was pretty late
I guess everyone's asleep; wonder why I'm still awake?
I could fall asleep right here with my hands under my head
There's a body in the stairwell, call the cops; I think she's dead
But if you would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust me off and push my hair aside

Well, I can't lie - perhaps I didn't trip
I've been having troubles lately, and I got something to admit
See, I was standing at the top thinking about the Earth
N/
It's been so hard to just keep living, so I thought it might be worth it if...
CHORUS 3/OUTRO:
You would pick me up I'd be obliged
Dust me off and push my hair aside
And kiss me goodbye...

( )
Give me a break with this heart ache
I doubt it will make it through 'til tomorrow
It's bogged down with sorrow and guilt and it's built
On these stilts which wobble five feet and three inches high
You ask me why I'm this way and all I can say is
I've gone through my fair share of shit
And you want all I've got, so we'll give it a shot
I just hope you don't regret it
TRANSITION 1:
( )
I'm unimpressed; think it's best if we give it a rest
I'm so tired; I can't stand for fear I will land on my ass
Let time pass, this can't last, 'cause I am just barely getting by
You ask me why I'm this way and all I can say is
I've gone through my fair share of shit

I've got nothing to hide behind
No excuses to confuse this; guess everyone loses
But it's better than living a lie...

I've gone through my fair share of shit
And you want all I've got, so we'll give it a shot
I just bet you'll regret it...

My foot's asleep and so is my brain
If I'm in pain then I don't feel it, my face should reveal it
I am grinning as they're cutting me in half
And all I can do is laugh
I am cold unfeeling and odd, and you should thank God
That we are on separate sides of the state
Hope you're okay, at least I gave you something to hate...
I am frantically flailing
Woozy inhaling these fumes, that won't put me to sleep
Taking drugs, that wont cure me, so I'll just stay pure
Please relinquish those secrets you keep
I am cold unfeeling and odd, and you should thank God
That we are on separate sides of the state
Hope you're okay, at least I gave you something to hate...

It'd be easy to sit here and wallow in hell
Or I could suck it up and get over myself
You see all hearts are broken; it's no big deal
I've been hurt, but I'm sure you all know how that feels
We all go through, so why we do it again?
Is it even worth the awkward anger of trying to be friends?
I don't know, should I care? Well, do you? Are you there?

This year will swallow me whole - it's taking its toll
2 3 4 5
The Queen of Hearts is mad with power - heads will roll
1 2 3 4
So tenderly
5 1 2 3
You bleed me dry, and I
4 5 Em
I collapse to the floor
It doesn't get easier
That should be me
It doesn't get easier
I'm dying to leave
I've been feeling surprisingly lonely these days
I guess substitutes have an aftertaste
And I hate you for making me feel I could easily be replaced
They say that the coffin can't confine the soul
I'm burying secrets you should have told
So I'll say, "Fuck your heaven, this is only a goal"
You want to achieve, so you can be whole
We've yelled, we've lied, and blatantly tried
To hurt the other one, that's not fair - but truthfully, I don't care
You cried and apologized, I won't sympathize with you
'Cause you're wrong, so wrong - and you know it, you do
It doesn't get easier
Try not to scream
It doesn't get easier
I'm fighting day dreams
So I guess it's over, is it time to move on?
Winter was always my least favorite season
Should I give up? Is it too late to be saved?
Am I forever frozen in this lonely grave?
So if I agree, I'm not trying to be mean
It's just cold, hard facts
Spare me your sugar coats
I could have kept you warmer than that...

My ear can't hold a pencil, and my mind can't keep a thought
And my arms aren't near strong enough to hold the shit I got
But stop feeling sorry for me, that's great - you got your sanity
But apologies are not what I need
I'm going out
I'm going out
To get my mind off you
And I'll have a drink or two
I know this might be rough on you - don't worry, I've been in your shoes
We've only got a friend to lose - this sucks, I think you know it too
The thrill of the chase caught up with me, they paid me back karmically
Either I can't stand them or they don't want me; what do you think it means?
I'm going out
I'm going out
To get my mind off you
And I'll have a drink or two
Cross my heart, cross my eyes, cross my fingers; hope to die
Bury me with the friends I've lost
They say that pain is the cost of... love
Of love (No-one said this would be easy)
I knew it had to happen soon, just sucks it had to be with you
The songs that I once sang for you, I still sing them though the meaning's new
Roles reversed and then press play, can't think of any thing to say
But how many times can one heart break?
I'm going out
I'm going out
To get my mind off you
And I'll have a drink or two
I used these chords once before, an unfinished love song
'Cause I adored a boy
But not any more...

Well, I bet you thought that I forgot about our deal
But I am a man of my words, though they be strange and absurd
I'm just trying to keep it real
And I know I lost the bet, but I haven't lost you yet
And if drinking lemonade for the rest of our days
N/
Would save you, you know I would do... it
TRANSITION 1:
Remember Regina and Sarah and cereal bowls?
And wearing our hats, even when it's not cold?
I'm just trying to keep it real
I'll never relate to your city peeps
'Cause I do most of my thuggin' on suburban streets
N/
I get terrified, but I'm fine... when I'm with you
TRANSITION 2:
You should know that I love it when you sing
But I'd love it even more if you'd stop hitting things
Regardless, I'd be heartless... without you
TRANSITION 3:
Well, I haven't yelled at someone in a pretty long time
And the last time that I did, I regretted it
I can't wait 'til senior year, when I will live in constant fear
'Cause you'll act like a zombie, and slobber all on me
You know that I hate it, but I wouldn't trade it
For any asshole you don't... like
Yeah, you're stuck with me
For the rest of our afterlives

Lastly, the content here is as correct as I can get it. I've tabbed this out in
the manner which Julia performs it; if you prefer to perform it different then
that is absolutely fine. However, 100% accuracy cannot ever be ensured, but a good
90% of the content in here certainly is.
Thanks for reading guys, I hope this proves useful guys!

Anyone familiar with Julia Nunes and her work will know that one of her most
used instruments is the Ukulele. This particular album features both Ukulele and
Acoustic Guitar pieces. Here I will clear up how to mimic the Ukulele sound on
an acoustic or classical Guitar, for anyone without a Ukulele instrument.

Ab[Cadd9]olish all divisions, and l[A7]eave the world with love

W[G]e've lost a lot, but we've g[Em]ot much more

Wi[B7]nter was always my l[Em]east favorite season
Sh[C]ould I give up? Is it too l[Em9]ate to be saved?
Am I for[B7]ever frozen in t[Em]his lonely grave?
So [C]if I agree, I'm not t[Em9]rying to be mean
It's just c[B7]old, hard f[Em]acts
Spare me your s[C]ugar coats [Em9]

[A] [Bm11] [E7sus4] [E5]
My e[A]ar can't hold a [Bm11]pencil, and my [E7sus4]mind can't keep a th[E5]ought
And my a[A]rms aren't near s[Bm11]trong enough to [E7sus4]hold the shit I g[E5]ot
But st[A]op feeling s[Bm11]orry for me, that's [E7sus4]great - you got your s[E5]anity
But apo[A]logies are [Bm11]not what [E7sus4]I need [E5]
I'm going o[A]ut [Bm11] [E7sus4] [E5]
I'm going o[A]ut [Bm11] [E7sus4] [E5]
To get my m[A]ind o[Bm11]ff you [E7sus4] [E5]
And I'll have a dr[A]ink or[Bm11] two [E7sus4] [E5]
I kn[A]ow this might be r[Bm11]ough on you - don't [E7sus4]worry, I've been [E5]in your shoes
We've [A]only got a fr[Bm11]iend to lose - this [E7sus4]sucks, I think you k[E5]now it too
The thr[A]ill of the chase caught[Bm11] up with me, they [E7sus4]paid me back [E5]karmically
Either I c[A]an't stand them or they [Bm11]don't want me; [E7sus4]what do you think it m[E5]eans?
I'm going o[A]ut [Bm11] [E7sus4] [E5]
I'm going o[A]ut [Bm11] [E7sus4] [E5]
To get my m[A]ind o[Bm11]ff you [E7sus4] [E5]
And I'll have a dr[A]ink or [Bm11]two [E7sus4] [E5]
Cr[A]oss my heart, [Asus4]cross my eyes, [E7sus4]cross my fingers; h[E5]ope to die
B[A]ury me with the f[Asus4]riends I've lost
[E7sus4] They say that p[E5]ain is the cost of.[A].. lo[E]ve [D] [D9] [Em7]
Of[A] love (No-one s[E]aid this would be e[D]asy) [D9] [Em7]
I kn[A]ew it had to h[Bm11]appen soon, just [E7sus4]sucks it had to [E5]be with you
The s[A]ongs that I once [Bm11]sang for you, I [E7sus4]still sing them though the m[E5]eaning's new
[A] Roles reversed and t[Bm11]hen press play, can't t[E7sus4]hink of any thing to s[E5]ay
But[A] how many t[Bm11]imes can [E7sus4]one heart br[E5]eak?
I'm going o[A]ut [Bm11] [E7sus4] [E5]
I'm going o[A]ut [Bm11] [E7sus4] [E5]
To get my m[A]ind o[Bm11]ff you [E7sus4] [E5]
And I'll have a dr[A]ink or [Bm11]two [E7sus4] [E5]
I [A]used these chords [Asus4]once before, an un[E7sus4]finished love song[E5]
'Cause I ad[A]ored a boy [Asus4] [E7sus4] [E5]
But not any m[A]ore...

[A] [D]
Well, I b[A]et you thought that I forgot about our[D] deal
But I am a m[A]an of my words, though they be strange and absurd
I'm just t[D]rying to keep it real
And I kn[A]ow I lost the bet, but I haven't lost you yet
And if dr[D]inking lemonade for the rest of our days
[G] [E] N/[C]
Would save you, you know I would do... it
TRANSITION 1:
[A] [D]
Remember Re[A]gina and Sarah and cereal bowls?
And w[D]earing our hats, even when it's not cold?
I'm just t[D]rying to keep it real
I'll n[A]ever relate to your city peeps
'Cause I d[D]o most of my thuggin' on suburban streets
[G] [E] N/[C] [A]
I get terrified, but I'm fine... when I'm with you
TRANSITION 2:
[A] [D]
You should kn[G]ow that I love it when you s[D]ing
But I'd l[G]ove it even more if you'd stop h[D]itting things
Reg[G]ardless, I'd be h[D]eartless... witho[A]ut you
TRANSITION 3:
[A] [D]
Well, I h[A]aven't yelled at someone in a pretty long time
And the l[D]ast time that I did, I regretted it
[A] I can't wait 'til senior year, when [D]I will live in constant fear
'Cause y[A]ou'll act like a zombie, and slobber all on me
You kn[D]ow that I hate it, but I wouldn't trade it
For [G]any asshole y[E]ou don't... l[A]ike
Yeah, you're st[D]uck with me
For the r[G]est of our [E]afterl[A]ives

Lastly, the content here is as correct as I can get it. I've tabbed this out in
the manner which Julia performs it; if you prefer to perform it different then
that is absolutely fine. However, 100% accuracy cannot ever be ensured, but a good
90% of the content in here certainly is.
Thanks for reading guys, I hope this proves useful guys!
