MINE
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7 x3 Cadd9 G Dsus4
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Cadd9 G Dsus4
Left a small town, never looked back
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Cadd9 G Dsus4
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
C G D C G
I say can you believe it?
D C G
As we're lying on the couch
D
The moment I could see it
C G D
Yes, yes, I can see it now
C G
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
D Em D
You put your arm around me for the first time
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D Em D C
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
Cadd9 G Dsus4
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em7
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
Cadd9 G Dsus4
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
C G D
But we got bills to pay
C G D
We got nothing figured out
C G D
When it was hard to take
C G D
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
C G
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
D Em D
You put your arm around me for the first time
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D Em D
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C G
Do you remember all the city lights on the water
D Em D
You saw me start to believe for the first time
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D Em D
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C G D Em C G D
Em C
And I remember that fight, two thirty AM
D
You said everything was slipping out of our hands
Em C D
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
C G D
Braced myself for the goodbye
C G D
'Cause that's all I've ever known
C G D
And you took me by suprise
C G D C
You said I'll never leave you alone
You said
C G
I remember how we felt sitting by the water
D Em D
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
C G
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
D
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine
C G
Hold on, we can make it last
D Em D
Hold on, never turn back
C G
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
D
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
C G D
(Hold on) Do you believe it?
C G D
(Hold on) We’re gonna make it now
C G D
(Hold on) And I can see it
C G D
Yeah, yeah (I can see it now, see it now, see it now)
SPARKS FLY
Capo 5
Am F C G x2
Am F
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
C G
And I'm a house of cards
Am F
You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
C G
But I kinda know that I won't get far
F G
And you stood there in front of me just
C G Am
Close enough to touch
F G
Close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinking of
Am
Drop everything now
F
Meet me in the pouring rain
C
Kiss me on the sidewalk
G
Take away the pain
Am F C G
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Am
Get me with those green eyes, baby
F
As the lights go down
C G
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
Am F C G Am F C G
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Am F
My mind forgets to remind me
C G
You're a bad idea
Am F
You touch me once and it's really something
C G
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be
F G
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
C G Am
But with you I know it's no good

And I could wait patiently but

It's just wrong enough to make it feel right

And lead me up the staircase

I'm captivated by you baby like a fireworks show

Drop everything now

Meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk

I'm so glad you made the time to see me
Bm
How's life, tell me how's your family
G D A
I haven't seen them in a while
D
You've been good, busier than ever
Bm
We small talk, work and the weather
G D A
You're guard is up, and I know why

Because the last time you saw me
D G
It's still burned in the back of your mind

F#m
Standing in front of you saying

I'd go back to December,
A G
Turn around and make it all right
Bm *once A*
I go back to December all the time
D Bm G (2x)
D
These days I haven't been sleeping
Bm
Stayin' up playing back myself leaving
G D A
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
D
Then I think about summer all the beautiful times
Bm
I watch you laughing from the passenger side
G D A
And realized I loved you in the fall
Bm A
And then the cold came the dark days
D G
When fear crept into my mind
Bm
You gave me all your love and
A G
All I gave you was goodbye
D
So this is me swallowing my pride
F#m
Standing in front of you saying
G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go
D A
Back to December all the time
D
It turns out freedom ain't
(D)
Nothing but missing you

When you were mine

I'd go back to December,
A G
Turn around and change my own mind
Bm A
I go back to December all the time
D Bm G (2x)
Bm G
I miss your tan skin your sweet smile
D A
So good to me, so right
Bm G
And how you held me in your arms
D
That September night
A Bm -stop
The first time you ever saw me cry
G -stop
Maybe this is wishful thinking
D
Probably mindless dreaming
(D) A *once
If you loved again I swear I'd love you right
Bm *once A* G*
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
Bm* A* G*
So if the chain is on your door I understand
D
But this is me swallowing my pride
F#m
Standing in front of you saying
G
"I'm sorry for that night" and I go
D A
Back to December...
D
It turns out freedom ain't
(D)
Nothing but missing you

SPEAK NOW
G G
G D
I am not the kind of girl
Am
Who should be rudely barging in
C
On a white veil occasion
G D
But you are not the kind of boy
Am C -stop
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
G D
I sneak in and see your friends
Am
And her snotty little family
C
All dressed in pastel
G D
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
Am
Somewhere back inside a room
C
Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry
Am C G
Thi--is i---is surely not

I---I lose myself in a daydream

C G
Of the church at the back door
D
Don't wait or say a single vow
Am
You need to hear me out
C -stop
And they said "Speak Now"
G D Am C
G D
Fond gestures are exchanged
Am
And the organ starts to play a song
C
That sounds like a death march
G D
And I am hiding in the curtains
Am
It seems that I was uninvited
C
By your lovely bride-to-be
Am C
She---e floats down the aisle
G D
Like a pageant queen
Am C
But I--I kno--ow
G
You wish it was me
D -stop
You wish it was me- Don't you?
G D
Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am
I'll meet you when your out
C G
Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow
Am
You need to hear me out
C G
And they said "Speak Now"
D
Don't say "Yes" run away now
Am
I'll meet you when your out
C G
Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

Your time is running out

Ohooho laaaahhoh

Oooh(Say you see me now)ooohooh
Em* -Once C*
I hear the preacher say speak now
G* D* D
Or forever hold your pe---ace
Am
There's a silence, there's my last chance
C
I stand up with shaky hands
G D -once
All eyes on me
Am C
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
G D -once
But I'm only lookin' at you
G D
I am not the kind of girl
Am
Who should be rudely barging in
C
On a white veil occasion
G D
But you are not the kind of boy
Am C
Who should be marrying the wrong girl
G D
Oops! Don't say "Yes" run away now

I'll meet you when your out
C G
Of the church at the back door

And you say "Lets run away now"
Am
I'll meet you when I'm out
C G
Of my tux at the back door
D
Baby I didn't say my vows
Am
So glad you were around
C G -once
When they said "Speak no--ow"
DEAR JOHN
E Asus2 (2x)
E Asus2
Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
E Asus2
Counting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall through, again
B C#m B
My mother accused me of losing my mind
Asus2
But I swore I was fine
E Asus2
You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
E Asus2
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules every day
B C#m B Asus2
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight.
B C#m B Asus2
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why
E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
B A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
E Asus2
I shoulda known.
E Asus2
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame.
E Asus2
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away.
B C#m B
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors
Asus2
Who don't understand.
B C#m B
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said
Asus2
"Run as fast as you can."
E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
B A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
E A
Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong.
C#m B
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark twisted games
A
When I loved you so?
E Asus2
I shoulda known.
C#m
You are an expert at sorry
B
And keeping lines blurry
A
And never impressed by me acing your tests
C#m
All the girls that you run dry
B
Have tired lifeless eyes
A
'Cause you burned them out
B
But I took your matches
C#m B
Before fire could catch me
Asus2
So don't look now
B
I'm shining like fireworks
A E Asus2 C#m B A
Over your sad empty town
E A
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
B A
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.
E A
I see it all now that you're gone.
C#m
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
B Asus2
The girl in the dress wrote you a song.
E
You shoulda known.
Asus2
You shoulda known.
E Asus2
Don't you think I was too young?
E
You shoulda known.

THE STORY OF US
Capo 2
-Intro-
A Bm Dsus2 G
A Bm Dsus2 G
D A G
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
D
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
A G
People would say, "They're the lucky ones"
D A G
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
D
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
A G
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
A Bm
Oh, a simple complication
D Asus4
Miscommunications lead to fall out
G
So many things that I wish you knew
A
So many walls up I can't break through
D Asus4 Em7
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
G D
And we're not speaking
Asus4 Em7
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
G
Like it's killing me?
Bm A D
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
G
When it all broke down
Bm A G
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now- Next chapter
A Bm Dsus2 G
D A
How'd we end up this way?
G
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
D
And trying to look busy
A G
And you're doing your best to avoid me
D A G
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
D
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
A G
But you held your pride like you should have held me
A Bm
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
D Asus4
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
G
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
A -stop
I've never heard silence quite this loud
D Asus4 Em7
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
G D
And we're not speaking
Asus4 Em7
And I'm dying to know is it killing you

Like it's killing me?

When it all broke down
Bm A G
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
A Bm Dsus2 G
A Bm Dsus2 G
D -once G
This is looking like a contest
(G)
Of who can act like they care less
D A G
But I liked it better when you were on my side
D G
The battle's in your hands now
(G)
But I would lay my armor down
Bm A G
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
G
So many things that you wish I knew
A -stop
But the story of us might be ending soon
D (2x *fast/stop)
Now I'm standing alone
Asus4 (2x*) G -once G
In a crowded room and we're not speaking

And I'm dying to know is it killing you
G
Like it's killing me?

I don't know what to say since a twist of fate
G
When it all broke down
Bm
And the story of us
A G D Asus4
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, no-----ow
Em7 G D
And we're not speaking
Asus4 Em7
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
G
Like it's killing me?
Bm A D
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate

She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
C* G*

Am F
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
C* G*
And, she thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Am F
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know

or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go

LAST KISS
Capo 3
G(x2) Em7(x2) Cadd9 D
G
I still remember the look on your face,
Em7
Lit through the darkness at 1:58,
Cadd9
The words that you whispered for just us to know.
D
You told me you loved me so why did you go
G
Away?
Em7
Away.
Cadd9 D
G
I do recall now the smell of the rain,
Em7
Fresh on the pavement. I ran off the plane.
Cadd9
That July 9th, the beat of your heart.
D
It jumps through your shirt. I can still feel your arms.
Cadd9
But now I'll go sit on the floor,
G
Wearing your clothes.
Cadd9
All that I know is I don't know.
D
How to be something you miss.
G Em7
I never thought we'd have a last kiss.
Cadd9 Em7 D
Never imagined we'd end like this.
Cadd9 D
Your name forever the name on my lips.
G
I do remember the swing in your step.
Em7
The life of the party, you're showing off again.
Cadd9
And I roll my eyes and then you pull me in.
D
I'm not much for dancin', but for you I did.
G
Because I love your handshake, meetin' my father.
Em7
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets.
Cadd9
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of sayin' something.
D
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions.
Cadd9
And I'll go sit on the floor,
G
Wearing your clothes.
Cadd9
All that I know is I don't know
D
How to be something you miss.
G Em7
I never thought we'd have a last kiss.
Cadd9 Em7 D
Never imagined we'd end like this.
Cadd9 D
Your name forever the name on my lips.
Cadd9 D
Oo-oo-ooh.
G Em7
So I'll watch your life in pictures
Cadd9
Like I used to watch you sleep
D
And I'll feel you forget me
G
Like I used to feel you breathe
Em7
And I'll keep up with our old friends
Cadd9
Just to ask them how you are.
D
Hope it's nice where you are.
Cadd9
And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
G
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed.
Cadd9
You can plan for a change in the weather in town,
D
but I never planned on you changing your mind.
Cadd9
So I'll go sit on the floor,
G
Wearing your clothes.
Cadd9
All that I know is I don't know
D
How to be something you miss.
G Em7
I never thought we'd have a last kiss.
Cadd9 Em7 D
Never imagined we'd end like this.
C D
Your name forever the name on my lips.

Just like our last kiss.

Forever the name on my lips.

Forever the name on my lips.

Just like our last.
LONG LIVE
Intro:G,C,Em,D,C
G C
I say remember this moment In the back of my mind
Em
The time we stood with our shaking hands
D C
The crowds in stands went wild
G
We were the kings and the queens
C
And they read off our names
Em
The night you danced like you knew our lives
D C
Would never be the same
Em C
You held your head like a hero On a history book page
Em D C
It was the end of a decade But the start of an age
Chorus
G C
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
Em
And bring on all the pretenders
C G
One day we will be remembered
Verse 2
G C
I said remember this feeling I passed the pictures around
Em D
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
C
Wishing for right now
G C
We are the kings and the queens You traded your baseball cap for a crown
Em D C
When they gave us our trophies And we held them up for our town
Em C
And the cynics were outraged Screaming, "this is absurd"
Em
'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in
D C
ripped up jeans got to rule the world
Chorus
G C
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
Em D
And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid
G C
Long live all the mountains we moved
Em
I had the time of my life
D
Fighting dragons with you
G C
I was screaming, "long live the look on your face"
Em
And bring on all the pretenders
C G
One day we will be remembered
Bridge
C Em
Hold on to spinning around
C Em
Confetti falls to the ground
C
May these memories break our fall
Verse 3
G
And you take a moment
C
Promise me this:
Em
That you'll stand by me forever
D C
But if God forbid fate should step in
G
And force us into a goodbye
C
If you have children someday
Em D
When they point to the pictures
C
Please tell them my name
C
Tell them how the crowds went wild
D
Tell them how I hope they shine
Chorus
G C
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
I had the time of my life with you
G C
Long,long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C
I was screaming, "long live all the magic we made"
Em D
And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid
G C
Long live all the mountains we moved
Em
I had the time of my life
D
Fighting dragons with you
G C
long live the look on your face
Em
And bring on all the pretenders
C G
One day we will be remembered

Intro
G, Em7, Cadd9

Strangers' silence makes me wanna take the stairs
G Em7 Cadd9
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
G D/F# Cadd9
But right now, my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
G Em7 Cadd9
They'll judge it like they know about me and you

And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
G D/F# Cadd9
The jury's out, but my choice is you
Cadd9 D
So don't you worry your pretty little mind

The waters rough

But this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves

Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles

But I don't care, cause right now you're mine
Cadd9 D
And you'll say don't you worry your pretty little mind
G Em7
People throw rocks at things that shine

And life makes love look hard
Cadd9
The stakes are high

The waters rough

If it's wrong and your hands are tough but they are where mine belong and

I'll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you
G Em7 Cadd9
Cause I love the gap between your teeth

And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
