Riff

Fif she wants to dance and drink all night

A♯well there's no one who can stop her

Dmshe's going till the house lights come up

A♯or her stomach spills onto the floor

Fthis night is gonna end

A♯when we're damn well ready for it to be over

Dmworked all week long now the music is playing on

A♯our time

Cand we do what we do to get A♯by

Riff

and then we need a release

F A♯ Dm A♯

you get mixed up with the wrong guys

you get messed up on the wrong drugs

sometimes the party takes you places

that you didn't really plan on going

when people see the track marks on her arms

she knows what they're thinking

she keeps on working for the minimum

as if a high school education gave you any other options you know

Dmthey don't know nothin' about reA♯demption

Fthey don't know nothin' about reA♯covery

Csome people just aren't the type for a marriage and A♯family

Fno mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a A♯junkie

Dmno mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep A♯alone

Fno mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a A♯junkie

Dmno mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep A♯alone

she's outta step with the style

she don't know where the action's happening

you know the down town club scene ain't nothin like it

used to be

you reach a point where there's not a lie in the world

that you could use to make the boys believe you still in your twenties and they

they keep getting younger don't they

baby

she's not waiting for someone to come over and ask for the privilege

she can still hear the rebel yell just as loud as it was in 1983 you know

there ain't no johnny coming home to share a bed with her and she doesn't care

no mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie

no mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone

no mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie

no mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone

no mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie

no mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to sleep alone

no mother ever dreams that her daughter's gonna grow up to be a junkie

Dmand if she had to live it all oCver again

A♯you know she wouldn't change anything for the Fworld

4. White People for Peace

song:

CmEast and West cannot agree so the

Cmgenerals gave call "gather troops at the G♯border"

CmWith guns at ready drawn and aimed

Cmand soldiers praying to a god to bless them with strength and couG♯rage

And it was A♯in his Cmname that arG♯tillery lit D♯the sky on A♯fire

A♯ Cm G♯ D♯

The peA♯ople sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

CmProtest songs in response to G♯military aggression

D♯Protest songs try and stop the A♯soldier's gun

A♯The battle Raged On...

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war

civilian casualties had been a cost that was predetermined

When interviewed for report victims plead in frustration

their claim that this was a war without a reason

And bureaucrats engaged in debate to try to reach a resolution

The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

The battle Raged On...

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

The battle Raged On...

Solo

While theA♯ broadcast like theirCm prayers wentG♯ unanswered andD♯ ignored

A♯God like the rest of the world just watched in silence

There was A♯purpose to be Cmserved there were G♯fortunes to be D♯earned

A♯before a peace could be called to stop the fighting

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun.

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression

Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

The battle Raged On...

5. Stop!

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

smile for the camera boys, gold record in hand

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

you gotta make a serious decision

Gmall of our lives in Dmwaiting

Gmall of our lives traded for their Dmroses and applause

Gmall of our lives dedicated

to A♯shoving it right back in theirC fucking face

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

stop, take some time to think, figure out what's important to you

you gotta make a serious decision i said you gotta

you gotta make a serious decision

stop, take some time to think.

10. The Ocean

Riff

Bm D D♯7 Bm

Riff

Riff

if i could have chosen where god would hide his heaven

i would wish for it to be in the salt and swell of the ocean

carried by the currents to all continents' shores

reaching into depths where the sun's light has never shown

mixed with algae and coral breathed in by the sharks and dolphins

sailed by tanker ships, private yachts, swam in by tourists

working it's way up through inlets, lakes, and rivers

swamps and estuaries down through limestone into the aquifer

Empurified by the county, pumped through pipes and out faucets

Bmfilled into a glass to Dmeet the thirst of our children

Bm A/slide/Bm A/slide/Bm A/slide/Bm

if i could have chosen, i would have been born a woman

my mother once told me she would have named me laura

i would would grow up to be strong and beautiful like her

one day i'd find an honest man to make my husband

we would have two children, build our home on the gulf of mexico

our family would spend hot summer days at the beach together

the sun would kiss our skin as we played in the sand and water

and we would know we loved each other without having to say it

at night we would sleep with the windows of our house left open

letting the cool ocean air sooth the sunburned shoulders of our children

Bm A/slide/Bm A/slide/Bm A/slide/Bm
