 2. Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
 You know the bed feels warmer
  Sleeping  here alone
 You know I dream in colour
  And do  the things I want
 You think you got the best of me
 Think you've had the last laugh
 Bet you think that everything good  is gone
 Think you left me broken down
 Think that I'll come running back
 Baby you don't know me 'cause you're dead  wrong
  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
  Stand a little taller
  Doesn't mean I'm lonely  when I'm alone
 What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
  Footsteps even lighter
  Doesn't mean I'm over  cause you're gone
 What doesn't kill you makes you  stronger, stronger
  Just me,  myself and I
 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
  Stand a little taller
  Doesn't mean I'm lonely  when I'm alone
 You heard that I was starting  over with someone  new
 They told you I was moving  on over  you
 You didn't think that I'd come back
 I'd come back swinging
 You tried to break me, but you see
  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
  Stand a little taller
  Doesn't mean I'm lonely  when I'm alone
 What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
  Footsteps even lighter
  Doesn't mean I'm over  cause you're gone
 What doesn't kill you makes you  stronger, stronger
  Just me,  myself and I
 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
  Stand a little taller
  Doesn't mean I'm lonely  when I'm alone
 Thanks to you I got a new thing started
 Thanks to you I'm not a broken hearted
 Thanks to you I'm finally thinking bout me
  You know  in the end the day you left was just my beginning
  In the end...
  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
  Stand a little taller
  Doesn't mean I'm lonely  when I'm alone
 What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
  Footsteps even lighter
  Doesn't mean I'm over  cause you're gone
 What doesn't kill you makes you  stronger, stronger
  Just me,  myself and I
 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
  Stand a little taller
  Doesn't mean I'm lonely  when I'm alone

 G: 320003 or 320033
 x2
  There's a place  that I know
  It's not pretty  there and few have ever gone
  If I show it to  you now
  Will it make you run  away
  Or will you stay
  Even if it hurts
  Even if I try  to push you out
  Will you return?
  And remind me who I really  am
  Please remind me who I really  am
  Everybody's  got a dark  side
  Do you love  me?
  Can you love  mine?
  Nobody's  a picture perfect
  But we're worth  it
  You know that we're worth  it
  Will you love me?
  Even with my dark  side?
  Like a diamond
  From black dust
  It's hard to know
  what can become
  If you give up
  So don't give up  on me
  Please remind me who I really  am
  Everybody's  got a dark  side
  Do you love  me?
  Can you love  mine?
  Nobody's  a picture perfect
  But we're worth  it
  You know that we're worth  it
  Will you love me?
  Even with my dark  side?
 Don't run away
  Don't run away
  Just tell me that you will stay
  Promise me you will stay
 Don't run away
  Don't run away
  Just promise me you will stay
  Promise me you will stay
  Will you love  me? ohh
 Everybody's got a dark  side
  Do you love  me?
  Can you love  mine?
  Nobody's  a picture perfect
  But we're worth  it
  You know that we're worth  it
  Will you love me?
  Even with my dark  side?
 Don't run away, don't run away
 Don't run away, promise you'll stay

 4. Honestly by Kelly Clarkson
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
 x2
 Could you love somebody  like that?
  Could  you attract someone  like that?
 Could you go where people  can't see
  Someone  like me, could  you do that?
  Would you
 Face me
 Make me listen  to the truth
  Even if  it breaks me
  You can
 Judge me,  love me
  If you're hating  me
  Do it honestly
 All I see are stepford-like  lives
  Needles  and knives
  Beautiful  lies
 Bringing out the green  in your eyes
  A perfect  disguise for envy  and pride
  Would you
 Face me
 Make me listen  to the truth
  Even if  it breaks me
  You can
 Judge me,  love me
  If you're hating  me
  Do it honestly
 You can tell me
  You can tell  me
  You can tell me
  You can tell  me
  You can tell me
 Face me
 Make me listen  to the truth
  Even if  it breaks me
  You can
 Judge me,  love me
  If you're hating  me
  Would you
 Face me
 Make me listen  to the truth
  Even if  it breaks me
  You can
 Judge me,  love me
  If you're hating  me
  Do it honestly
 You can tell me
  You can tell  me
  You can tell me
  You can tell  me
  Do it honestly
 You can tell me
  You can tell  me
  You can tell me
  You can tell  me
  You can

 5. You Love Me
 Chords:
 Thick skin,  soft touch
 Heart of gold but it's na-na-na-not enough
 Forgiving arms,  the higher road
 Working hard but it's na-na-na-not enough
  You said I'm  not good enough, I'm  not good enough
  But what you really mean is you're  not good enough
  You're  not good enough
  You can't deliver so you turn it around
 You didn't let me down
 You didn't tear me apart
 You just opened my eyes
  While breaking my heart
 You didn't do it for me
 I'm not as dumb as you think
 You just made me cry
  While claiming that you love  me
  You love  me, you love  me
  You said you loved me but that
  I'm  not good enough, I'm  not good enough
 Stronghold,
 But fun ride
 But rollercoasters aren't just na-na-na-not enough
 I keep it in
 You wear me out
 This kind of love is na-na-na-not enough
  You said I'm  just a sinking ship, I'm  just a sinking ship
  But what that really means
  Is you  can't handle this, you  can't handle this
  You couldn't win so you turn it around
 You didn't let me down
 You didn't tear me apart
 You just opened my eyes
  While breaking my heart
 You didn't do it for me
 I'm not as dumb as you think
 You just made me cry
  While claiming that you love  me
  You love  me, you love  me
  You said you loved me but that
  I'm  not good enough, I'm  not good enough
 Your love feels  different
 It's like a blow to the head with your compliments
 Your love hurts  deeper
 It's like a brick in the sea and I'm drowning with it
 You didn't let me down
 You didn't tear me apart
 You just opened my eyes
  While breaking my heart
 You didn't do it for me
 I'm not as dumb as you think
 You just made me cry
  While claiming that you love  me
  You love  me, you love  me
  You said you loved me but that
  I'm  not good enough, I'm  not good enough
  So understand it means nothing when you say you love  me, you love  me
  When you say you love  me
  When you say you love  me
  You love  me, you love  me
 You didn't let me down
 You didn't tear me apart
 You just opened my eyes
  While breaking my heart
 You didn't do it for me
 I'm not as dumb as you think
 You just made me cry
  While claiming that you love  me
  You love  me, you love  me
  You know the truth is that
  You're  not good enough, you're  not good enough

 6. Einstein
 Chords:
:  133211 or x33211
 x2
 Simple math
 Our love divided  by the square  root of pride
 Multiply  your lies plus time
 I'm going out  of my mind
 It was heavy
 When I finally  figured
 It out  alone
 I didn't get  it the first  time
 But don't think  I've been so  blind
 And I may  not be Einstein  but I know
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 Even had  the nerve to flirt  with her in front  of my face
 Here's your keys,  your bags, your clothes  and now get out  of my place
 You say I'm crazy
 And that we're happy
 Is that  supposed to  comfort me?
 I didn't get  it the first  time
 But don't think  I've been so  blind
 And I may  not be Einstein  but I know
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 All of your promises,  flushed
 A thousand apologies,  just
 Take out the pain and then it leaves  us
 With nothing at all,  no nothing  at all
 You can stop  wasting my  time
 Without  you I'm just  fine
 Why did it take  me so long  to figure out
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you,
 Equals you
I  didn't get it  the first  time
 But don't think  I've been so  blind
 And I may  not be Einstein  but I know
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 Equals you
 Simple math
 Our love divided  by the square  root of pride
 Multiply  your lies plus time
 I'm going out  of my mind
 And I may  not be Einstein  but I know
 Dumb  plus dumb  equals you
 Equals you

 7. Standing In Front Of You
 Chords:
:  132211 or x33211
 G: 320033 or 320003
 x2
 You say it's easier
 Alone and undisturbed
  You  said yes and danced before
 And got your feelings hurt
 You say most days your good
 It's not so bad this room
 Watching the rain today
 Even though it's clear and sunny
  And you fight  it so hard
  How to tell  if it's real or not
  Take  a breath and listen (listen)
  Open  up stop wishin' (wishin')
  All  that you've been missin' (missin')
  Standing  in front of you
  Everything  you're fearin' (fearin')
  All  the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
  Take  a chance you're reason (reason)
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
 You start to sway again
 Feelin' good in your skin
  You  start to remember when
 You didnt have to try
  And then  the glitter turns to dust
  The  color fades enough to  make out pictures of a fire
  That burns like love
  You can close  your eyes don't worry
  I'll still be here  in the morning
  Take  a breath and listen (listen)
  Open  up stop wishin' (wishin')
  All  that you've been missin' (missin')
  Standing  in front of you
  Everything  you're fearin' (fearin')
  All  the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
  Take  a chance you're reason (reason)
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
 And they wont break us
 And they cant get through
 Cause I'm gunna be here
  Standing  in front of you
  Take  a breath and listen (listen)
  Open  up stop wishin' (wishin')
  All  that you've been missin' (missin')
  Standing  in front of you
  Everything  you're fearin' (fearin')
  All  the walls you're buildin' (buildin')
  Take  a chance you're reason (reason)
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you
  Standing  in front of you

 8. I Forgive You
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
 I forgive you, I forgive me
  Now when do I start to feel again
  I forgive you, I forgive me
  Now when do I start to feel again
  Cause the lights  are on
  But I'm never  home
  But I'll be back  with a brand  new attitude
  Cause I forgive you
 I forgive you
  We were just a couple of kids
  Trying to figure out how to live
  Doing it our way
  No shame, no blame
  Cause the damage  is done
  And,  and I forgive you
 I forgive you
  We were busy living the dream
  Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us
  No shame, no blame
  Cause the damage  is done
  And,  and I forgive you

  With a new  heart in my hand

  Trying to figure out how to live
  Doing it our way
  No shame, no blame
  Cause the damage  is done

  Over some stupid thing you did to hurt me
  That's alright, yeah I forgive yooooooooouuuuuuuu

  Doing it our way
  No shame, no blame

  We were busy living the dream
  Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us

 9. Hello
 Chords:
 x4
  Yes I  stumbled  into the night
  We're touching but I feel  like you're still  out of reach
  The people here are buzzing  like a bug  on a light
  I'm feeling like I always  see them,  but they can't  see me
 Sentimental feelings
 Never get me anywhere
 My heart continues beating
 Is there anybody, anybody?
  Hello,  Hello
  Is anybody  listening?
 Let go  As everyone  lets go of me
 Oh oh,  won't somebody  show me that I'm not  alone,  not alone
  Yeah I'm coming  through  this desert of stone
  These faces on the statues  that I  used to know
  Wishing I was more  than what my  story has told
  Or hoping that I'm dreaming  in the  day and this  isn't happening
 Gotta keep it altogether
 Longing for a hand  to hold
 Keep clear on the shadows
 Is there anybody,  anybody?
 Hello,  Hello
  Is anybody  listening?
 Let go  As everyone  lets go of me
 Oh oh,  won't somebody  show me that I'm not  alone,  not alone
 Holding on to the memories  of when I,  I didn't know
 Ignorance isn't wise  but it beats  being alone
   x2
 Hello,  Hello
  Is anybody  listening?
 Let go  As everyone  lets go of me
 Oh oh,  won't somebody  show me that I'm not  alone,  not alone
 Hello,  Hello
  Is anybody  listening?
 Let go  As everyone  lets go of me
 Oh oh,  won't somebody  show me that I'm not  alone,  not alone

 10. The War Is Over
 Chords:
 I watch the days rush by  me like a river
 I shouldn't wait, but I'm scared  to touch the water
 I let the phone ring, why  won't you believe me
 I wait for silence, takes  a lot not to answer
 All I have to say is
  You don't deserve  me, you don't deserve  me
 I'm finally walking away
  Cause you don't deserve  me, and you're not worthy
 And I won't let you pull me in
  Because I know you're gonna win
  But the war is over
 And I won't fight you anymore
  I have never been so sure
  Cause the war is over
 I used to let you paint  a pretty pictures
 You got me caught up with your "you're  my girl forever"
 So I forgive you, it felt  good when you hold me
 Yeah you owned me
  Now you wish  you had really known me
 All I have to say is
  You don't deserve  me, you don't deserve  me
 I'm finally walking away,  cause you only hurt  me
  And you're not worthy
 And I won't let you pull me in
  Because I know you're gonna win
  But the war is over
 And I won't fight you anymore
  I have never been so sure
  Cause the war is over
  This is not  my surrender
  I'm not running  for cover
  I'm right here,  I know you see  me
  But your words  no longer defeat  me
  In the night  when you're lonely
  You remember  how much you miss  me
  So you call,  well I swear
  You can try  a million times, you'll get the same  message
 All I have to say is
  You don't deserve  me, you don't deserve  me
 I'm finally walking away,  cause you only hurt  me
  And you're not worthy
 And I won't let you pull me in
  Because I know you're gonna win
  But the war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 11. Let Me Down
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
 I think I might be a fortune teller
 I read your face just like a letter
 The funny thing about forever
 Is it comes with a side of never never
 I cant buy into what you're selling
 And no its not that I don't want it
 Believe me I love to close my eyes
 Enjoy the ride but you've made a bad decision and I
 I know, I know,  I know,
  I know,  I know, I know
  You're only gonna let  me down
 When it counts,  you countdown
  You're only gonna turn  me out
 As I burn,  you burn out
  You're only gonna make  me feel so crazy
  But when I  think we could be something
  You go and let  me down,  let me down
 Oh
 I am too smart to let you in here
 But i'm just dumb enough to linger
 I wanna think that you'll be different
 Smoking mirrors are so clever clever
 I picked him and things went so bad
 Then what you say won't actually happen
 I've been dying to open my eyes
 See you try instead of always leaving me out to dry
 I know, I know
  You're only gonna  let me down
 When it counts,  you countdown
  You're only gonna turn  me out
 As I burn,  you burn out
  You're only gonna make  me feel so crazy
  But when I  think we could be something
  You go and let  me down,  let me down
 Oh
 I need to be there when you say  you're gonna be
 I care too much and you care  enough to leave
 I want some place to rest my head  without worrying
  It's not fair  (it's not fair) it's not fair (it's not fair)
 It's not fair to me cause i know by now
  You're only gonna  let me down
 When it counts,  you countdown
  You're only gonna turn  me out
 As I burn,  you burn out
  You're only gonna make  me feel so crazy
  But when I  think we could be something
  You go and let  me down,  let me down
  You're only gonna  let me down
 When it counts,  you countdown
  You're only gonna turn  me out
 As I burn,  you burn out
  You're only gonna make  me feel so crazy
  But when I  think we could be something
  You go and let  me down,  let me down

 12. You Can't Win
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
 x2
  If you go,  they'll say you're following
  If you don't,  then you're too good  for them
  If you smile,  you must be ignorant
  If you don't,  what's your problem?
  If you're down,  so ungrateful
  And if you're happy,  why so selfish?
  And, you can't win
  No, you can't win,  no
 The one who doesn't quite fit in
  Underdressed under your skin
  Oh, a walking  disaster
 Everytime you try to fly
  You end up falling out of line,  oh
  You can't  can't win, no
  If you're thin,  poor little walking  disease
  If you're not,  they're all screaming  obese
  If you're straight,  why aren't you married  yet?
  If you're gay,  why aren't you waving  a flag?
  If it's wrong,  you're knowing  it
  If it's right,  you'll always  miss
  You can't win,  no
  You can't win,  no
 The one who doesn't quite fit in
  Underdressed under your skin
  Oh, a walking  disaster
 Everytime you try to fly
  You end up falling out of line,  oh
  You can't  can't win, no
 And you try,  you try so hard
 But it's wearing  on your heart
  And you play,  you play the game
  But you pay,  you pay for it
  You can't win,  no
  You can't win  no
  If you speak,  you'll only piss  'em off
  If you don't,  you're another  robot
  If you stop,  they'll just say  you quit
  If you don't,  you might lose  your shit
  You can't win,  no
  You can't win,  no
  You can't win,  nooo
 The one who doesn't quite fit in
  Underdressed under your skin
  Oh, a walking  disaster
 Everytime you try to fly
  You end up falling out of line,  oh
  You can't  can't win, no

 13. Breaking Your Own Heart
 Chords:
 x2
 Shaking your head  like it's all  wrong
 Before you're here  you're already  gone
 And even with the light  all around  you
 You're all alone  in the dark
  You're breaking your own heart
  Taking it too far  down a lonely road
  You say it's just one love
  But when it's close enough  you just let it go
  The very thing you've been  the most afraid  of
  You've been doing  it from the start
  Breaking your own heart
 Too many tears,  too many  falls
 It's easy to hear  behind these  walls
 But you don't have to walk  in the shadows
 Life is so  hard
  You're breaking your  own heart
  Taking it too far  down a lonely road
  You say it's just one love
  But when it's close enough  you just let it go
  The very thing you've been  the most afraid  of
  You've been doing  it from the start
  Breaking your own heart
  You're breaking your own heart
 It's not too late,  I'm still right  here
 If only yBu'd  let go of your  fears
  You're breaking your own heart
  Taking your own heart  down a lonely road
  You say it's just one love
  But when it's close enough  you just let it go
  The very thing you've been  the most afraid  of
  You've been doing  it from the start, breaking your own heart

 x3
 When we're driving in your car
  It's like I'm on  my own, yeah
 I can't ask you how you are
  You're always on  the phone, yeah
 And when we kiss I feel  so empty
 I really wish you knew  what's been on my mind
  You're gonna miss me, so  get ready
  I'm  about to tell you why
  Cause when I'm with you I'm aloooooooooone
  No  matter what  you say
 I hope  you know,  woah
  That I'm alooooooooooone
 You say you're gonna  change
 But I know  you won't,  woah  oh
 When you look me in the eye
  It's like you're far  away, yeah
 Some pretty legs go walking by
  Your gaze is wandering,  yeah
 It's such a shame that you  don't notice
 The way that everybody's  looking at me
  Get off the train
  This love  is hopeless
  Feeling  like I'm gonna sink
  Cause when I'm with you I'm aloooooooooone
  No  matter what  you say
 I hope  you know,  woah
  That I'm alooooooooooone
 You say you're gonna  change
 But I know  you won't,  woah  oh
 But here's something you don't know  about me
  When you pushed  me out
  I found something  better, you'll see
 While you were paying no attention  to me
  I found somebody  who can treat me right
  When I'm with him I'm not aloooooooone
  Gets  better everyday
 I hope  you know, oh
  I'm not aloooooooone
  And it's never  gonna change
 I hope  you know
  When I'm  with you I'm alooooooone
  No  matter what  you say

 17. Don't Be A Girl About It
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
 x2
  Any  chance you get  to play the warn  out pity  card
  Any  opportunity  to push  my buttons  hard
  It's  getting old,  your "poor  me" thoughts
  Believe  me, boy,  when I say  "so what"
 This broken record  thing  has got to  stop
 I'm losing interest in  your pillow  talk
  And uuhuuhuuh  it's not  looking good
  And uuhuuhuuh  I'm not  in the mood
  And uuhuuhuuh  I can't  get through
  To you  huuhuuh uuhuuhuuh
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I didn't  say yes
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I wouldn't  pretend
  Don't be a girl  about it
  Now you're whining  again
  Don't be a girl  about it
  You're such a girl  about it
 
  Now  you're up in arms  because I say  we're not working  out
  You wonder  if I loved  you from the start,  well I tell  you what
 I knew a guy  who changed  my world
 And then he grew  into  a little girl
 This metamorphosis  is just  too  much
 You're crossing  lines  that I  just can't  let  go on
  And uuhuuhuuh  it's not  looking good
  And uuhuuhuuh  I'm not  in the mood
  And uuhuuhuuh  I can't  get through
  To you  huuhuuh uuhuuhuuh
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I didn't  say yes
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I wouldn't  pretend
  Don't be a girl  about it
  Now you're whining  again
  Don't be a girl  about it
  You're such a girl  about it
  And uuhuuhuuh  I'm sleeping  with the enemy  ohoh
  And uuhuuhuuh  I'm counting  sheep while you're  in love
 I guess it's true  that love can grow  in different  directions
 I chose the high  road and you chose  to be a girl
 I know you're mad  at me now
 It's all my fault  somehow
 Here comes my favorite  part
  You're so  misunderstood
  And uuhuuhuuh  it's not  looking good
  And uuhuuhuuh  I'm not  in the mood
  And uuhuuhuuh  I can't  get through
  To you  huuhuuh uuhuuhuuh
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I didn't  say yes
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I wouldn't  pretend
  Don't be a girl  about it
  Now you're whining  again
  Don't be a girl  about it
  You're such a girl  about it
  And uuhuuhuuh  I'm sleeping  with the enemy  ohoh
  And uuhuuhuuh  I'm counting  sheep while you're  in love
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I didn't  say yes
  Don't be a girl  about it
  'Cause I wouldn't  pretend
  Don't be a girl  about it
  Now you're whining  again
  Don't be a girl  about it
  You're such a girl  about it
  Don't be a girl  about it
 17. The Sun Will Rise (feat Kara Dioguardi)/ Based on the EP version
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
 x2
 I can see the wait  there in your eyes
  I can feel the thought  in your sigh
  Your knuckles are bruised  from a losing fight
 One way down  a dead end street
  Broken glass underneath  your feet
  You think the day  won't break the sunless night
  The sun will riiiiiiiiiiise
  The sun will riiiiiiiiiiise
  When you've lost your liiiiiiiiiiights
  The sun will riiiiiiiiiiise
  It'll be alright
  It'll be alright
 I've been stuck in  a storm before
  Felt the wind raging  at my door
  Couldn't move, couldn't breathe,  Couldn't find a way  out
 Somehow the clouds  disappeared,  Somehow I  made it here
  Maybe just so you  could hear me say
 The sun will  riiiiiiiiiiise
  The sun will riiiiiiiiiiise
  When you've lost your liiiiiiiiiiights
  The sun will riiiiiiiiiiise
  It'll be alriiiiiiiight
  It'll be alriiiiiiiight
  It'll be alriiiiiiiight
  It'll be alriiiiiiiight
  Although  you can't see  it
  So hard  to believe  it
  Sometimes  you just need  a little faith
  There's an answer  to your prayer
  And I  swear that there'll  come a day  yeahh
  The sun will riiiiiiisee
  The sun will riiiiiiisee
  The sun will riiiiiiisee
  The sun will riiiiiiisee  Yeahhh
  The sun will riiiiiiise
  The sun will riiiiiiise
  The sun will riiiiiiise
  The sun will riiiiiiise
  It'll be alriiiiiight
  It'll be alriiiiiight
  It'll be alriiiiiight
  It'll be alriiiiiight
  The sun will riiisee
 18. Why Don't You Try? (Itunes Bonus Track)
 Chords:
 G: 320033 or 320003
:  133211 or x33211
 x2
  I  woman
  Cut in two
  By ambitious  pride
 Stuck in my ways
  Between you
  And my other  life
  Now I  have been around enough to know when love has ended
  But I  believe that you and I deserve to be extended
  So why don't you try
  To make me stay
  When it's time  to go
  Why don't you try
  To stand in my way
  Cause we both  know
  I can't stop myself
  Our empty house
  You occupy
  When I'm far  away
 Heavier hearts  won't justify
  Why I'm gone  today
  Now  I have hung a cloud above our lives from always leaving
  Figured  you would at least make me give a better reason
  So why don't you try
  To make me stay
  When it's time  to go
  Why don't you try
  To stand in my way
  Cause we both  know
  I can't stop myself
 x2
 (I have no idea how this part is really played in the recording so I just put that
 chord progression instead)
 In the early mornings when I'm up  before dawn
 You say "why don't you stay" but you keep  sleeping on
  Maybe  you're just used  to me being  gone
  Cause if you  know that I don't want to  go
  So why don't you try
  When it's time  to go
  Why don't you try
  To stand in my way
  Cause we both  know
  I can't stop myself
  Why don't  you
  Why don't  you try
  When it's time  to go, oh
  Cause I  don't want to have to go
  And be the one to leave  you holding on alone
  But this, this  is my goodbye
  So why  don't you try
   x2

  Y[Em]ou're not good enoug[D]h

  You can't deliver so you turn it around

[C]  You didn't let me down
[Em]  You didn't tear me apart
[D]  You just opened my eyes

  While breaking my heart
[C]  You didn't do it for me
[Em]  I'm not as dumb as you think
[D]  You just made me cry
  While claiming that you l[C]ove me
  You l[Em]ove me, you l[D]ove me

  You said you loved me but that
  I[C]'m not good enough, [Em]I'm not good enou[D]gh

[C]  Stronghold,
[Em]  But fun ride
[D]  But rollercoasters aren't just na-na-na-not enough

[Em]  You wear me out
[D]  This kind of love is na-na-na-not enough

  You said I[C]'m just a sinking ship, I[Em]'m just a sinking shi[D]p

  You couldn't win so you turn it around

[C]  You didn't let me down
[Em]  You didn't tear me apart

  You l[Em]ove me, you l[D]ove me

[Em]  You didn't tear me apart
[D]  You just opened my eyes

  While breaking my heart

[Em]  I'm not as dumb as you think
[D]  You just made me cry
  While claiming that you l[C]ove me
  You l[Em]ove me, you l[D]ove me

[G] I'm l[D]osing [Em]interest [C]in your p[G]ill[D]ow t[Em]alk  [C]

 And uu[G]huuhuuh it's not[D] looking good
 And u[Em]uhuuhuuh I'm n[C]ot in the mood
 And u[G]uhuuhuuh I ca[D]n't get through
 To y[Em]ou huuhuuh u[C]uhuuhuuh

 Don't be a g[G]irl about it
 'Cause I d[D]idn't say yes
 Don't be a g[Em]irl about it
 'Cause I w[C]ouldn't pretend
 Don't be a g[G]irl about it
 Now you're w[D]hining again
 Don't be a g[Em]irl about it
 You're such a g[C]irl about it

 [G]    [D]    [Em]    [C]

 N[G]ow you're up in a[D]rms because I s[Em]ay we're not w[C]orking out
 You w[G]onder if I l[D]oved you from the s[Em]tart, well I t[C]ell you what
[G] I knew a g[D]uy who ch[Em]anged my w[C]orld
[G] And then he gr[D]ew into[Em] a little g[C]irl

[G] This m[D]etam[Em]orphos[C]is is j[G]ust t[D]oo m[Em]uch  [C]
[G] You're c[D]rossing l[Em]ines that [C]I just c[G]an't let[D] go [Em]on   [C]

 And u[G]uhuuhuuh it's no[D]t looking good

 And u[G]uhuuhuuh I'm co[D]unting sheep while y[Em]ou're in l[C]ove

[Em] I guess it's t[D]rue that love can gr[G]ow in differ[C]ent directions
[Em] I chose the h[D]igh road and you ch[G]ose to be a g[C]irl
[Em] I know you're m[D]ad at me now
[G] It's all my fa[C]ult somehow
[Em] Here comes my f[D]avorite part
 You're [G]so misunderst[C]ood

 And [G]uuhuuhuuh it's n[D]ot looking good

[G]  I can see the w[D]ait there in your e[C]yes
  I can feel the tho[D]ught in your s[G]igh
  Your knuckles are bru[D]ised from a losing f[C]ight      [D]
[G]  One way d[D]own a dead end str[C]eet
  Broken glass u[D]nderneath your f[G]eet
  You think the d[D]ay won't break the sunless n[C]ight     [D]

  Felt the wind r[D]aging at my d[G]oor
  Couldn't move, couldn't bre[D]athe, Couldn't find a w[C]ay out [D]
[G]  Somehow the clo[D]uds disappear[C]ed, Somehow [D]I made it h[G]ere
  Maybe just so y[D]ou could hear me s[C]ay     [D]

[G]  The sun [D]will riiiiiiiiiiise
  The sun will r[C]iiiiiiiiii[D]ise

  The sun will r[C]iiiiiiiiiii[D]se

18. Why Don't You Try? (Itunes Bonus Track)

Chords:

G:    320033 or 320003
[F]:    133211 or x33211

[G]     [D]     [Em]     [F]   x2

[G]        [D]
 I [Am] [A] woman
 Cut in t[Em]wo
 By amb[F]itious pride
[G] Stuck in my wa[D]ys
 Between y[Em]ou
 And my [F]other life

 Now [Am]I have been around enough to know when love has e[C]nded
 But [Am]I believe that you and I deserve to be exte[D]nded

 So why don't you t[G]ry      [D]
 To make me s[Em]tay
 When it's t[F]ime to go
 Why don't you tr[G]y       [D]
 To stand in my w[Em]ay
 Cause we b[F]oth know
 I can't stop myse[G]lf

 Our empty ho[D]use
 You occup[Em]y
 When I'm f[F]ar away
[G] Heavier hea[D]rts won't justi[Em]fy
 Why I'm g[F]one today

 Now[Am] I have hung a cloud above our lives from always l[C]eaving
 Fi[Am]gured you would at least make me give a better re[D]ason

 So why don't you t[G]ry      [D]
 To make me s[Em]tay
 When it's t[F]ime to go
 Why don't you tr[G]y       [D]
 To stand in my w[Em]ay
 Cause we b[F]oth know
 I can't stop myse[G]lf

[G]    [D]    [Em]    [F]   x2
(I have no idea how this part is really played in the recording so I just put that
chord progression instead)

[Am] In the early mornings when I'm [D]up before dawn
[Am] You say "why don't you stay" but you ke[D]ep sleeping on
 [G]Maybe you're just u[F]sed to me b[E]eing gone
 Cause if y[Am]ou know that I don't want [D]to go

 So why don't you t[G]ry      [D]             [Em]
 When it's t[F]ime to go
 Why don't you tr[G]y       [D]
 To stand in my w[Em]ay
 Cause we b[F]oth know
 I can't stop myse[G]lf

 Why do[D]n't you
 Why d[Em]on't you try
 When it's t[F]ime to go, oh

 Cause [G]I don't want to have to go
 And be the one to l[D]eave you holding on alone
 But this, t[Em]his is my goodbye
 So w[F]hy don't you try

 [G]    [D]    [Em]    [F]     x2

 End on G
