[Verse 1]
           Em
So this is it
        Bm
Here it is
         C
A pot of gold
        Am
A Judas kiss
             Em
I got what I wanted
             Bm
I paid every cost
                C
I'd give it all back
                      Am
To get back what I've lost
                   Em
Like a wave on the beach
                 Bm
Last leaf on the tree
                Am
It's all just a memory
 
 
[Chorus 1]
             G
Love pick me up
               Bm
I'm down on my knees
                 Em
My treasure just rags
                 Am
Wings that don't fly
                     G
I ain't praying, I'm choking
                     Bm
I'll fix what's been broken
               Em
Got nothing to hide
                Am
No time for goodbye
       Em  D  C
Nobody grieves
                  Em
A teardrop to the sea
 
 
[Verse 2]
              Em
They shake my hand
       Bm
Pat my back
             C
They know my drink
        Am
Welcome back
                Em
The life of the party
           Bm
Tears of a clown
             C
Can't hear a heartbreak
                Am
The music's too loud
 
 
[Chorus 2]
             G
Love pick me up
               Bm
I'm down on my knees
                 Em
My treasure just rags
                 Am
Wings that don't fly
                     G
I ain't praying, I'm choking
                  Bm
I fix what's been broken

Got nothing to hide

[Bridge]
                 Em
It's just broken glass
                   Bm
Chalk lines on the scene
      Am
Move along, move along
                 Am/B
Ain't nothing here to see
 
 
[Chorus 3]
                 G
Oh, love pick me up

I'm down on my knees

My riches just rags
                 Am
Wings that don't fly
                     G
I ain't praying, I'm choking
                  Bm
I fix what's been broken

Got nothing to hide
              Am
No bitter goodbyes

You're the only reason that I still believe

3. Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdGMhU24EAA)
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
      C
I was living my life like a long lost weekend
G
Never felt nothing, jumping right into the deep end
Am
I wasn't missing nothing that was ever worth getting
F
Never hung around enough to regret it
C
You walked into the late bar just in time
G
To hand me my excuses with a chance in rhyme
Am
Your shoes and attitude were stacked way up high
F                                        G
I knew right then you were the story of my life
 
 
[Chorus 1]
   C
Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
G
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
Am
I think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
F
Everything about us is what gets me through
C
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
G
I never learned the song this heart was singing
Am
No regrets, I took that step yeah I'm still falling
F
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah
 
 
[Verse 2]
            C
When you're driving down a street that's only going one way
     G
When everyday starts feeling like a month of Mondays
Am
You should know, I still got something left to prove
F
I know what it takes to get back to you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
   C
Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
G
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
Am
I think I might have pushed my luck a time or two

Everything about us is what gets me through

I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
G
I never learned the song this heart was singing
Am
No regrets, I took that step yeah I'm still falling

Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
F                             G
Remember those nights staring out at the lights
       Am                        F
Making time with our feet in the sand
F                      G
Making up words to our favorite songs
         Am                            F
Laughing loud with those drinks in our hands
            Em                      Am
And as that boy put his head on her shoulder
               Em                 Am
She pulled him tight to get a bit closer
           F
And as the world just disappeared
    G
You whispered in my ear
 
 
[Chorus 3]
   C
Oh Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
G
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
Am
I think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
F
Everything about us is what gets me through
C
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
G
I never learned the song this heart was singing
Am
No regrets, I took that step yeah I'm still falling
F
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah

And go driving in your car
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G                    C

Welcome to another morning

The sun's still shining, but it's grey

Get out of bed now sleepy head
              C               D  D7
You'd give an arm to hear him say
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]

If there's an patron saint of blind love

I hope he keeps me on your mind, love
                       Am
With every moment I'm away
                            C
We're getting closer to the day

We'll never have to say goodbye, love
 
 
[Verse 3]
      Bm
These days it's hard for me
            Em
To feel the sand beneath my feet
          C
With this gunny sack and boots on
Bm             C
Oh, but no one said this would be easy
Bm         C                 D   D7
And no one said it'd be this hard

[Verse 1]
Cm
When you walked into the party
Cm
The guests all disappeared
F
You dropped in with a group of friends
F
I didn't notice they were there
G#
Was it the way your fingers held that glass
G#
The way your lips broke when you laughed
Bb
I don't care if the devil's keeping score
    G
For just one look I'd crawl across the floor
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Cm
Who would you die for
Cm
Who would you die for

Will you write me lipstick letters
Cm
And miss me when I'm gone
F
Wake up tangled in the sheets
F
Still aching for my arms
G#
The way you move its almost holy
G#
Hoping you don't know you own me
Bb
All I want is all of you and more.
    G
The big bad wolf is knocking at your door
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Cm
Who would you die for
Cm
Who would you die for
 
 
[Bridge 1]
  G#
I want to know your secrets and your sins
  Cm
I want to feel you breathing out and in
  Bb            G
I want to know, I want to know
 
 
[Chorus 3]
Cm
Who would you die for
Cm
Who would you die for
 
Cm  Cm  Ab Cm
 
 
[Bridge 2]
  Cm
I want to know what makes you feel
  Cm
I want to know love truly heals
  G#
I want to know what makes you feel
  G#
I want to know love truly heals
  Bb
I want to know what makes you feel
  Bb
I want to know love truly heals
  Cm
I want to know what makes you feel
  Cm
I want to know love truly heals
 
 
[Verse 3]
         Cm
When you walked into the party
       Cm
It was like the guests all disappeared
    F
You dropped in with a group of friends
  F
I didn't notice they were there
           Cm
Was it the way your fingers held that glass
    Cm
The way your lips broke when you laughed
  Bb
I don't care if the devil's keeping score
    G
For just one kiss I'd crawl across the floor
 
 
[Chorus 4]
Cm
Who would you die for
Cm
Who would you die for
 
 
[Bridge 3]
  G#
I want to know your secrets and your sins
  Cm
I want to feel you breathing out and in
  Bb              G
I want to know, I want to know
 
 
[Chorus 5]
Cm
Who would you die for
Cm
Who would you die for
 
 
[Outro]
  G#
I want to know (Who would you die for )
  Cm
I want to know (Who would you die for )
  Bb
I want to know (Who would you die for )
  Cm
I want to know

[Intro]
Dm Gm C A A7
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
I gave you my fingerprints
Gm
Left them all over you
C
Tangled up in your sheets
A                    A7
This heartache's the only proof
Dm
I gave you my fingerprints
Gm
Now just like you they're gone
C
The man invisible
A           A7
I'll be him from now on
 
 
[Chorus 1]
    Bb
The last time that I saw them
          F
They were running through your hair
C
You held one between your lips
    A               A7
And brought another there
    Bb
The last time that I saw them
  F
I haven't seen them since
   C
No matter who or what I touch
  A           A7
I leave no evidence
Bb            C     Dm
I gave you my fingerprints
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm
I said I'd give you everything
Gm
But who thought you'd take it all
C
Does a promise really break
A         A7
If nobody sees it fall
Dm
A hard rain can't wash away
Gm
The taste of your memory
C
Don't know what I would do
A                  A7
If you should stop haunting me
 
 
[Chorus 2]
    Bb
The last time that I saw them
          F
They were running through your hair
C
You held one between your lips
    A               A7
And brought another there
    Bb
The last time that I saw them
  F
Unbuttoning your dress
      C
Those pretty pictures in my head
    A              A7
Are the only thing you left
Bb            C     Dm
I gave you my fingerprints
 
 
[Solo]
   Gm C A A7
Dm Gm C A A7
 
 
[Bridge]
     Gm
That shiny box I gave to you
    F
Was all there was to me
C                            A         A7
All it was to you was just a faded memory
Dm
I gave her my fingerprints
Gm
Guilty or innocent
C
I have to ask myself
A
Would I do it all again
A7
Would I?
 
 
[Chorus 3]
    Bb
The last time that I saw them
          F
They were running through your hair
C
You held one between your lips
    A               A7
And brought another there
    Bb
The last time that I saw them
  F
I haven't seen them since
   C
No matter who or what I touch
  A           A7
I leave no evidence
Bb            C     Dm
I gave you my fingerprints

A guilty king
Em      G      C

She's sweet forgiveness

In a lonesome lost and found

Someone shut the lights off, turn the page
