Torn

Torn

Capo 5

Intro: Cadd, G, D

Verse 1
Sorrow fills an empty heart (Cadd, G, G/F#)
I don’t know where you are but it, isn’t here (Cadd, Em, Dsus)
Cause if you were I’d feel, something different (Cadd, G, Em, Dsus)
If you were, I’d be singing for you (Cadd, Em, Dsus)
Singing, whoo whoo (Cadd, G, Dsus)

Chorus
Now I fight, this feeling under my skin (Cadd, G, Dsus)
Right and wrong, but now there’s a grey that’s in between (Em, G, Dsus)
I’m torn (Cadd)
Between you and everything (G, Dsus)
And still I’m torn (Cadd)
Between you and everything (Am, C, G, D)
(End: else that I want)

Verse 2
Shadows dance beneath the stars
Wandering, whispering
The words I long to say to you
But I haven’t got a clue
How not to cross these lines that are set in place
How to make things right when someone’s in my place
Singing, whoo whoo

Pre-Chorus
Well maybe, we’re gonna be something beautiful (Em, G, D)
I’ll save you, you’re the only one that can save me too (Em, Cadd, G, D)
There’s got to be something more to this (Em, Cadd)
I can’t let go of you (G, D)
But

How Great You Are

How Great You Are

Verse 1
I’ll see you again, my friend
I’ve thanked you once, I’ll thank you again my love
You’ve shown me grace I don’t deserve
Amazing grace that makes me good enough

I left you time and time again
Broke your heart again and again
You still stayed by my side
Gave me hope and strength and all your life

Chorus
My heart sings, of how good you are
Of how good you’ve been, to me
My soul sings, of how great you are
Of what you’ve done for me

Verse 2
You took all my guilt and shame
With the nails that brought you pain
Humble this proud heart of mine
Break me down and set my feet on higher ground

Bridge
You’re all I want
You’re all I need
Jesus

Love Is

Love Is

Intro
Love is getting lost
And finding your way back to square one

Verse 1
I didn’t mean it to happen it
Just happened
My heart’s been pumping with yours
I never knew it would turn out this way
I can’t believe that I thought you would stay

Pre-chorus
If our love was enough
Then why am I here alone, thinking of you
Feels like goodbye, but I guess we’ll find out in time
That

Chorus
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is knowing you’re the reason I feel alive
Love is missing
Everything about you so
Love is crazy
Love is fine
Love is looking into
Your eyes

Verse 2
I somehow knew this would happen and it
Just happened
My thoughts’ been tangled with yours
I never guessed we would turn out this way
I still believe that we’re still the same

Bridge
Now we know
Where we’ve been
Where we’re going
Who we’re becoming
It still means something
To me

Exit
Love is getting lost
And finding our way back to square one

Rock Songs and Lullabies

Rock Songs and Lullabies

Can you tell the difference between
Rock songs and lullabies
Or is the music driving
Our ears blind
Heads down, all over the wheel
Teardrops and memories yet to come true
And we pray
That always

We’ll find that time when everything was simple
Everything was like a lullaby
When everything we knew, was singing cause we meant it too
Those twinkling stars, I wonder what you are
But I miss you
I miss you

I think I found the difference between
Heart throbs and butterflies
I’m wondering if you’d like to
Dance with me
Too fast, we’re falling alone
Never thought this start would be the end
And we pray
That always

So can you take me back
Before our adolescence tore
Us apart
So can you take me back
When you and I were everything
That made sense at all

So can you tell the difference between
Rock songs and lullabies
Tonight

(C, G, Am, F)

In The Afterglow

In The Afterglow

We stood in the afterglow
Distant lights shine from the windows
I laughed as you would sing that song I wrote
We danced, lay backs to the ground
Watched the twinkling of stars all around
You whispered you wouldn’t trade this, for anything
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

We had a ball of a time
One kiss I’ll pretend that you’re mine
Traded secrets there’s one you’ll never know
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Can’t you see we’ve got this one night on our hands (D, Cadd)
Even then, we’ll make it never end (D, Em, Cadd)

Someday, we’ll understand why people just don’t understand (G, D, Asus, Cadd)
A thing, about you and me (G, D, Em, Cadd)
One day, we’ll talk about the things that made us roll with glee (G, D, Asus, Cadd)
And that’ll, be ten years ago (G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)
You said: after all we’ve been through (Asus)
I’ll never be the same (Cadd, Dsus)
Since I met you

(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Since I met you, things haven’t been the same
But you’re the one thing that never changes
Make a promise you’re the company I’ll keep
The best part was falling asleep with you
As we let our dreams come true
In our hearts there’ll always be our story to tell
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Na,na,na,na-na
Na,na,na,na-na
(x4)

Bridge
Here we are, friends
Don’t forget, where
We came from, then
We know, now

What it means, to be
More than we, can be
You and me, we are
Everything
(x2)

(We just don’t care, anymore
We just don’t give, a thought what for
And time will stand, that I’m sure
This moment in Arveture

Be my friend, give it all
Be the strength, that makes me sure
And all I am, is all you are
This monument in Arveture)

(G, D, Em, Cadd)


hahaha. i borrowed part of Arveture's lyrics for the writing of this song cos it's pretty relevant. one of my non-emo songs. =)

In Your Pain

In Your Pain

I thought I knew, love, well till I read Your little book
And Your word to me it spoke, and took my breath away
In the darkest of hours, you still chose to light the way
For me
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

So it came, like darkness in the rain
“Just give me a reason to be saved”
And there you answered every single prayer prayed
The ones for a saviour’s grace
You gave it all
When in your pain, you made everything
Okay
(Now everything’s okay)
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

They thought they knew, you, well, when you sacrificed yourself
And though they couldn’t tell, you gave love anyway
As you hung there and died, there was one thing on your mind-
The world you came to save
(G, Cadd, Em Cadd)

And so it came, like darkness in the rain
You gave me a reason to be saved
Convinced me you’re not just a piece of history
More than just a precious memory
You gave it all
When in your pain, you made everything
Okay
(You made everything okay)
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

Picture painted perfect, the one who knew no sin became sin (Am, C, G)
Was it really worth it? The greatest sacrifice the world has seen (Am, C, G, D)
And all we have to do is let him in (Am, Cadd)

And so you came, like sunshine in the rain
You are the reason I am saved
Forgave me for all the sins I’d carry to my grave
The ones I thought would never change
You gave it all
When in your pain, you made everything

And so you came, like sunshine in the rain
You are the reason I am saved
Forgave me for all the sins I’d carry to my grave
The ones I thought would never change
But in the pain I caused you
You saved me
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

Cos You Cared

Cos You Cared

Verse 1
She came, she left
She woke up, I slept
She walked, and I knew I couldn’t stop her
I’m broken, again
This can’t be the end
I looked, and I knew I wouldn’t stop her
Cos I cared

Chorus
But everything has changed
Yeah everything has changed
What do I do now
When you’ve gone away
(It’s driving me insane
Well nothing’s been the same
Since you went home)

Verse 2
I miss, your breath
Your touch, your laugh
But most, of all you always being there
Cos you cared

Chorus-Bridge
Why’d you have to go
Why can’t you stay

Bridge
It’s over (stop thinking)
It’s over (stop feeling)
Over
A lifetime of the best




FIRST SONG OF 2009! YAY ME! haha. a tribute to those who feel that way about losing a loved one.
