Determinate (Lemonade Mouth)
I got the chords from 6strings4me (thanks for typing in the lyrics) but those chords
were a bit off.
I worked this song out a bit more completely for Guitar and Bass. I reference breaks
where keyboards
play, but I haven't' worried about keyboard parts.
* Guitar wants a distorted (almost metal) sound
* Bass wants to be clean without too much tone
Intro:
[Keyboard]
Trying hard to fight these tears, I'm crazy worried.
Messin' with my head this fear, I'm so sorry.
[Bass] (Play all these notes on the A string [frets 0, 2, 4, 7] and let each ring 4 beats)
A B C# E
You know you gotta get it out, I can't take it,
A B C#
that's what being friends' about.

Chorus:
[LICK 2]
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor! Determinate, determinate.
[LICK 2]
Push until you can't and then demand more! Determinate, determinate.
[LICK 2]
You and me together! We can make it better,
[LICK 3]
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor! Determinate, determinate.
Verse 2:
[LICK 1]
Hey, to feel this way, and waste today, I gotta get myself on stage.
[LICK 1]
I shouldn't wait, or be afraid the chips will fall where they may.
[Keyboard only]
I know I, I know I, I know I gotta do it.
I know I, I know I, I know I gotta do it.
Chorus:
[LICK 2]
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor! Determinate, determinate.
[LICK 2]
Push until you can't and then demand more! Determinate, determinate.
[LICK 2]
You and me together! We can make it better,
[LICK 3]
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor! Determinate, determinate.
Rap:
[LICK 1 is played three times then right into the final chorus]
It's Wen and I'm heaven-sent
Use it like a veteran
Renegade, lemonade, music is my medicine
Go ahead and try to name a band we ain't better than
Reason why the whole world's picking us instead of them
People need a breather cause they're feeling the adrenaline
Stop! Now hurry up and let us in. Knock!
Cause we're coming to your house (and)
people keep on smiling with the lemons in their mouths
I'm the real deal, you know how I feel
Why they in it for the bill I'm just in it for the thrill
Get down now I ain't playin' around put your feet up from the ground
And just make that sound right
Final Chorus:
[LICK 2]
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor! Determinate, determinate.
[LICK 2]
Push until you can't and then demand more! Determinate, determinate.
[LICK 2]
You and me together! We can make it better,
[LICK 2]
Gotta turn the world into your dance floor! Determinate, determinate.
