Intro: F G Em Fmaj9 (repeat)
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
Ly - ing in bed I hear the clock tick and think of you.
Caught up in cir - cles confu - sion is nothing new.
F G Em F G Em
Flashbacks, warm nights. Almost left behind

Suitcase of memories, time after
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
Some - times you picture me, I'm walk ing too far ahead.
You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said.
F G Em F G Em F G Em F
Then you say go slow, I fall behind. The second hand undwinds.
G Am7 F Fmaj9 C
If you're lost you can look and you will find me. Time after time.
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting. Time after time.

Af - ter my picture fades and dark-ness has turned to grey.
Watching through win - dows, you're wondering if I'm o - k.

VINCENT - DON McLEAN
G Am
1. Starry, starry night, paint your pallet blue and grey
C
Look out on a summers day,
D7 G
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G Am
Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils
C
And catch the breeze and winter chills
D7 G C G
In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus
Am D7 G Em
Now I understand, what you tried to say to me
Am7
How you suffered for your sanity
D7 Em
How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7
They would not listen, they did not know how
D7 G
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling colors of violet haze
Reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand
Chorus
Am7 D7 G
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
Em Am7 Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night
G F7 E7
You took your life as lovers often do
Am7
I could have told you Vincent,
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know, what you try to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US - JOAN OSBORNE
F#m D A E (x2)
F#m D A E
If God had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to His face if you were faced with him
In all his glory? What would you ask
If you had just one question?
D E
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
F#m D A E
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home...
If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see, if seeing meant that you would have to
Believe in things like heaven and in Jesus
And the saints and all the prophets?
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Just trying to make his way back home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome...

WONDERFUL TONIGHT - ERIC CLAPTON
G D C D
It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear
G D C D
She puts on her make-up, and brushes her long blonde hair
C D G G/F# Em
And then she'd ask me, "Do I look alright?"
C D G
And I say "Yes, you look wonderful tonight"
We'd go to a party, and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me
And then she'd ask me "Do you feel alright?"
And I'd say "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
C D G G/F# Em
I feel wonderful because I see the lovelight in your eyes
C D C D
And the wonder of it all is that you just don't realise
G
How much I love you
It's time to go home now, and I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys, and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her, As I turn out the light
I say "My darling, you are wonderful tonight"
