S-6. Alicia Keys - It’s On Again (Cm D# Gm A#) And everybody know the story of David and Goliath, but this is bigger than triumph This is for the warrior, this is for you and I This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind God is recording this! Won’t you look in the sky? Tell him that you got the behavior of your neighbor Even when stability’s never in your favor Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it Walk through the valley of peace, with bare feet Run through the flames, that’s more passion for me I passed testimony just so the world can see Battle wounds on me, you watching me lick ’em clean I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs My lows, I know, I know, it’s mind control I know, I could prosper, no imposter Prosecute my posture, I stand up and I stand by it what (Cm D# Gm Gm) I am a freedom fighter, the name that history wrote And even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope I’m trying to find my way back, there’s no day off for heroes And even when I’m tired, "go" is the only word I know And the night is takin’ over And the moonlight gets exposure And the players have been chosen And it seems like fate has spoken (Cm D# Gm A#) When it seems your faith has broken By the second, losin’ focus Ain’t no way to get off, get off, get off, get off Unless you move forward I bet they wonder how I go on, go on I bet they wonder how I go on, go on I’ll simply say it’s on again, it’s on again, woho... The world don’t stop, it’s on again, it’s on again, woho... 18
19
(Cm D# Gm Gm) I am a lonely hero, tryin’ to fight my battles Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego There ain’t no room for selfish, we do it for the people And the night is takin’ over And the moonlight gets exposure And the players have been chosen And it seems like fate has spoken (Cm D# Gm A#) When it seems your faith has broken By the second, losin’ focus Ain’t no way to get off, get off, get off, get off Unless you move forward I bet they wonder how I go on, go on I bet they wonder how I go on, go on I’ll simply say it’s on again, it’s on again, woho... The world don’t stop, it’s on again, it’s on again, woho... The work don’t stop, ’cause they don’t stop And everybody here trying to get on top Everybody from the burbs down to the block Gotta hold on tight and don’t let go, let go Huh, so you think you’re hot? Gotta grind hard, give it all you got You can have, or you can have not You see that a lot in the ghetto, ghetto (Cm D# Gm A#) How I go on, go on I bet they wonder how I go on, go on I’ll simply say it’s on again, it’s on again, woho The world don’t stop, it’s on again, it’s on again, woho

And you’re singing the song thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight? And you’re singing the song thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

I’m leaving you. No you ain’t, Come back, we’re running right back, here we go again It’s so insane, ’cause when it’s going good it’s going great, I’m Superman with the wind in his pack, She’s Lois Lane but when it’s bad, it’s awful, I feel so ashamed I snap, "Who’s that dude?", I don’t even know his name I laid hands on her, I’ll never stoop so low again I guess I don’t know my own strength. Just gonna stand there and watch me burn Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry Well, that’s alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie You ever love somebody so much, you could barely breathe when you with ’em? You meet, and neither one of you even know it hit ’em, Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah, them chills, used to get ’em Now you’re gettin’ fuckin’ sick of lookin’ at ’em You swore you’d never hit ’em, never do nothing to hurt ’em, Now you’re in each other’s face spewing venom in your words when you spit ’em 84

You push, pull each other’s hair, scratch, claw, bit ’em, throw ’em down, pin ’em so lost in the moments when you’re in ’em It’s the face that’s the culprit, controls you both So they say you’d best to go your separate ways, guess that they don’t know ya ’Cause today, that was yesterday, yesterday is over, it’s a different day Sound like broken records playing over But you promised her, next time you’ll show restraint, You don’t get another chance, life is no Nintendo game, But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window Guess that’s why they call it "window pane" Just gonna stand there and watch me burn Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry Well that’s alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie Now I know we said things, did things that we didn’t mean and we fall back into the same patterns, same routine But your temper’s just as bad as mine, you’re the same as me when it comes to love, you’re just as blinded Baby, please come back, it wasn’t you, baby, it was me Maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems Maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano All I know is I love you too much, to walk away though Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk Don’t you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk? Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball Next time I’m pissed, I’ll aim my fist at the drywall Next time? There won’t be no next time I apologize, even though I know it’s lies I’m tired of the games, I just want her back, I know I’m a liar If she ever tries to fuckin’ leave again I’ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire Just gonna stand there and watch me burn Well that’s alright because I like the way it hurts

S-119. The Cranberries - Zombie (Em

G/F#)
Another head hangs lowly, Child is slowly taken. And the violence caused such silence. Who are we mistaken? But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family. In your head, in your head they are fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are crying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou... Another mother’s breakin’ Heart is taking over When the violence causes silence, We must be mistaken. It’s the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen. In your head, in your head they’re still fighting, With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are dying... In your head, in your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie, Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head, In your head, Zombie, zombie, zombie? Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...
