Verse 1

If I could have a single wish

I'd only wish to never miss it when you wake up and smile

It makes me happy when you steal a little kiss

Before you wake me up to listen to the news for a while

Verse 2

And when you're creeping out of bed

I sneak a peek to see just what you were wearing last night

Or what was leftover from ripping off your clothes

I check to see that door was closed as you were turning out the light

TRANSITION 1:

Pre-chorus 1

Whoever said romance was over?

Roll over, so I can show you

Don't you want me to be

N/

The captain of your submarine?

Chorus 1

"Up periscope" - that's what I say

That's just my way

* N/

Of saying that I love you (I do)

Verse 3

My life is like a bowl of cherries not so very ordinary

Overflowing with love

And I could never want for more unless our two becomes a four or maybe three

If we practice it enough

TRANSITION 2:

Pre-chorus 2

Whoever said romance was over?

Roll over, so I can show you

Don't you want me to be

N/

The captain of your submarine?

Chorus 2

"Up periscope" ("up periscope") - that's what I say

That's just my way

* N/

Of saying that I love you (I love you)

Bridge

Now, I know that life is hard

I know that love can break your heart

That's just the way that it is

well, baby that's a load of smack

Don't you know I've got your back?

What's important is the way that we live

Verse 4

And like the way you like this song because it makes you hum along

And tap your foot to the beat

That's the way you make me feel when we're doing it for real

I can feel it from my head to my feet

TRANSITION 3:

PRE-OUTRO:

Whoever said romance was over?

Roll over, so I can give you

One more chance to believe

And hopefully see that I still want you

Don't you want me to be

The captain of your submarine?

Outro

"Up periscope" ("up periscope") - that's what I say

That's just my way

Of saying that I love you, I love you

INTRO [Keyboard]:

Verse 1

All alone, guess again

You've been known to take the hand of any man

Who will fill your fanta-

-See you there, a big mistake

You're the pride of every fake that comes around

This messed up town

Pre-chorus 1

You know, and I know, and I know

It's always better when

You know, and I know, and I know

It's always better when

You find out we've been lying, cheating...

Chorus 1

Baby, give me a sign

Give me a reason, make up your mind

Darling, only a fool couldn't see through us

And know what we do

(You know what we do)

TRANSITION 1:

Verse 2

Just because you're a fan

Doesn't mean you've joined the band and found a way

To make them think that you're a star, silly girl

Only I can fool the world, it's plain to see

'Cause you're just like me

Pre-chorus 2

You know, and I know, and I know

It's always better when

You know, and I know, and I know

It's always better when

You find out we've been lying, cheating...

You find out we've been lying, cheating...

In love with you

3. D o W h a t Y o u W a n t

Verse 1

People around the world say I'm bitter

But I can say I'm not a quitter

And you can't

Verse 2

And people know they don't apologize

That's why we have to advertise

In the paper ("Sunday News!")

Pre-chorus 1

I can't make you stop, and listen, that won't save you

I can't believe everybody wants to party all night long

Until the birds are singing

Chorus 1

So do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be

Live how you wanna live

If you wanna be free, then you're gonna be free

Verse 3

But people, don't you know its not polite to point and stare?

No, that's not the way to show you care

About the way you live, but I bet you don't give a-

Verse 4

People, you've got to give it up where credit's due

But you only did it 'cause I told you to

Well too bad, so sad, hope I didn't make you mad

Pre-chorus 2

I can't make you stop, and listen, that won't save you

I can't believe everybody wants to party all night long

Until the birds are singing (And the birds are singing)

Chorus 2

So do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be

Live how you wanna live

If you wanna be free, then you're gonna be free

Chorus 3

So say what you wanna say, and hear what you wanna hear

Live how you wanna live

If you wanna be free, then you're gonna be free

Bridge

I can't make you stop, and listen, that won't save you

N/

I can't believe everybody wants to party all night long

Until the...

Birds are- (-Yeah the birds are singing)

Be what you wanna be (Be what you wanna be)

Live how you wanna live (Like you are free)

If you wanna be free, then you're gonna be free

Outro

So say what you wanna say, and hear what you wanna hear

Live how you wanna (live)

If you wanna be free, you're gonna be free

If you want to be, got to be

Have to be nothing but free...

Where did you go when I arrived?

She said I wasn't even here, she said I wasn't

You gave it away, I'm thinking about

Not taking it - you're faking it

You're such a sad girl, you sad girl...

Where did you leave, why did you go?

What were you thinking? I'd like to know

If walking away is all it's about

N/

Then why did it take so long to figure out?

She said I wasn't even here, she said I wasn't even

I found a way, I found a way

Pre-chorus 1

If you open up your mind...

(See what's inside)

Chorus 1

It's gonna take some time to realign (Who are you?)

But if you look inside, I'm sure you'll find (Who are you?)

Over your shoulder, you know that I told you

I'll always be picking you up when you're down

So just turn around...

Verse 2

Now that I know that anything's possible

I found a way, I found a way

No-one can break what is so unbreakable

I found a way, I found a way

If you open up your mind...

(See what's inside)

Chorus 2

It's gonna take some time to realign (Who are you?)

I'll always be picking you up when you're down

So just turn around...

You know you gotta live like you wanna live

When it's time, to be free

N/

You know you gotta be what you wanna be

Verse 1

Hello, let's go, everybody must know

Love's in my heart like a bomb, it's blowing a song

Inside I'm singing, sunshine that you're bringing now

And it makes me happy

Listen to the radio playing back in stereo

Sounds like my favorite song, I'm humming along

My head is ringing, and I just can't stop singing now

'Cause it makes me happy

It makes me happy

Chorus 1

You're everything I need, handed from above

I can't get enough of your love

'Cause it makes me happy

Yeah, makes me happy!

Living in a day-dream, I'll show you what it all means

Spending some time in the sun, let's get up and run

It's just beginning, I just can't stop singing now

'Cause it makes me happy

Chorus 2

It's like a fantasy that you never find

Right in front of me all the time

And it makes me happy

7. F o o l T h e W o r l d

Verse 1

Right in front of me

A couple makes what could melt the snow

Making fun of me

Single look never cut me so

Chorus 1

And I go to save the conversation

I know a deeper contemplation

Is all I need to make believe

Everyone would love me if I could fool the world

TRANSITION 1:

Verse 2

Walk away from me

I see the change in the atmosphere

What a way to be (to be)

To turn the page, just to make it clear

Chorus 2

And I go to save the conversation

I know a deeper contemplation

Is all I need to make believe

Everyone would love me if I could fool the world

TRANSITION 2:

Interlude

To fear

Or to disapp-e-ar

What a waste of time

TRANSITION 3:

Verse 3

What a troubled mind

A fortune find for another day

As you're passing by

You look behind to see what I would say

Chorus 3

And I go to save the conversation

I know a deeper contemplation

Is all I need to make believe

Everyone would love me (If I could fool the world)

So I go to save the conversation

I know (I know) a deep contemplation

Is all I need to make be-lieve

Everyone would love me, if I could fool... the world

Bridge

I can't survive another day in the life, without our day in the sun

Before you touch me here's a word of advice; if I were you I would run

(Get it, come get it, come get it, come get it)

N/

(So won't you tell me why it is...)

That every corner of my head is a home, but every fool is the same

It'd be so tragic if you left me alone, but left me no-one to blame

Bridge 2

Well don't it make you wonder what got us here?

The covers that were under could disappear

Promises keep us in chains, my dear...

Outro

If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been

(What am I feeling?)

If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been

(What am I feeling?)

If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been

Verse 1

She stares at the moon

Her ribbons out of tune

Memories of the past

At the bottom of her glass

And resting on her cheek

The imprint of his ring

A symbol of the weak

Commissioned by the king

Pre-chorus 1

Did he tie you down?

Did you make a sound?

God, please! Make something of me

'Cause I've never wanted anything like what I wanna be right now...

She remembers his old boots

And the shotgun that he shoots

Lies at the bottom of a lake

So lift your cig and drag

As you figure out a plan

How could she ever love this man?

Lastly, the content here is as correct as I can get it. I've tabbed this out in

the manner which Drake performs it; if you prefer to perform it different then

that is absolutely fine. However, 100% accuracy cannot ever be ensured, but a good

90% of the content in here certainly is.

Thanks for reading guys, I hope this proves useful!
