SIDE 1

1. MY OWN DEVICE
AmHow did it come so Am7far?
How did I lose it Emall?
AmNo-one else to Am7blame
I put myself through this Emhell
AmIt only takes a Am7second,
to change your Emworld
AmAnd the friends you Am7lose,
will never Emreturn.
Ch.
CI wish I had no C/Bmemories,
Am   G   Em-F#(note)
of the things I've done.
GIm not D/F#running Emaway,
im just AmoverEmcome.
CI wish I could C/Bsee,
Am   G   Em-F#(n)
your laughing eyes.
GBut I D/F#lost it Emall,
left to my Amown devEmice.
AmForgivness cant be Am7bought,
by the richest Emman.
AmBut deciept can be Am7sold,
by the bearer's Emhand.
AmAll the regrets in the Am7world,
wont solve Emanything.
AmDepression's holding the Am7hand,
of a child called Emsin.
Ch.
I wish I had no memories,
of the things I've done.
Im not running away,
im just overcome.
I wish I could see,
your laughing eyes.
But I lost it all,
left to my own device.
Br.
CI know we'll never be the B7same
but I Emwant Em7you to underCstand
C/B   Am-4 beats
theres no looking back
again I ask mysDsus2elf:
AmHow did it come so Am7far?
How did I lose it Emall?
AmNo-one else to Am7blame
I put myself through this Emhell
AmIt only took a sAm7econd,
to change my woEmrld
AmAnd the friendship Am7I've lost,
will never Emreturn.

Sweet MassachusettesG, I want to Dsee it againC  G  
DI want to bCe there agaiGn.
but it's haDrd when you're banished three thousandC  
miles awaGy.
Dont get me wrong I love the country I come from
and my roots I'd never want to change.
But it was in the U-S of A that I finally found my way
a steady road I walked on.
All the bills I could not pay, so they sent me away,
and now all I think of is-
Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see her again
I want to feel it again.
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away.
{Bridge} Am   C  G  
Am D7 G
Now my girl waits for me, hoping someday for my return.
but it seems so far away.
I hate to put her through this pain, to hear her cry on the line
I cannot comfort her of hold her hand.
I cant stand this hell, I might as well be in jail,
if I'm not with her.
My soul companion I did meet, when I lived on Bostons streets
I've got to get back somehow....to
Sweet Massachusettes, I want to hold her again
I've got to hold her again.
I need to see her again, I want to love her again. ect ect..
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away
3. I NEED YOUR LOVE
Capo on 1st
GI dont need no money, I dont need no drugs.
I need you only, that's what I'm thinking of
Dont need no sunshine, dont need no coat
Need you to hold me, thats all I want.

I've been dEmown for so loDng but I Gwill overcome.C  D  
Cause I need your loooooooooovGvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeC  G  C  
I need your love.
GI dont need no fakin', lies I dont want
If it's just love we're makin' then I need more
Just want the real thing, just wanna know
that you'll stand by me no matter what.
Em (ect...)
As you listen to my words, you almost whisper to me
Without breathing a word you say to me.
I need your love.
I need your love.
I know time it goes so fast, and people often change.
but I knew I have been blessed when I see your face.
Oh love........
Love.............

{same as before}
Saw the face of a child,
stare at the stars in the sky at night.
She was filled with wonder, overflowed with awe
I wished that I could see what she saw.
Then I turn to you, with your tearful eyes
as you sing a songs saddest lines
"It's when confusion is understood, I once was love,
It once was good".
So dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,
feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,
and I my youth I learned a lession,
dont miss a chance for a kiss.
Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,
but it a smile...of sadness

EmCluthing reasons of reA5ality,
EmYou told me often about inA5sanity,
but it's CalrGight, to Cmy Gmind, to A5glide with me

easy life and times are what I lack.
It's time for me, to relieve my inner dreams.-------Em G A5 Dsus2 x4 (double speed)
(faster)
EmCome out, come in dont be a A5stranger,
Emget dowm, get up dont fear the A5danger,
of a free CmindG, not many Ctry Gto undeA5rstand.
Inevitibly evidence is produced,
the strange cracks of time are reduced,
when the breath of life, takes a sigh inwardly.-----Em G A5 Dsus2 x4
My constant battle with identidy,
is like a wind in a vacuum breeze,
The red stop light is shining bright
Never green.
Go through the motions of habitual lives
rejecting notions of a better time.
Why cant you see, this is not for me?
Im paralized.
Cluthing reasons of reality,
you told me often about insanity.
but it's alright, to my mind, to side with me.

There's a thorn through,
American civilization.
With the fools who, cry for segregation.
If these ignorant and selfish fucking people,

Oh--- we're all the same anyway
Dont matter how many games we play
The walls will all fall away,
So ride on, right on--yeah

dont matter how much money we spend.
The war is within ourselves,
so ride on , right on ,ride on......ect ect

6. LIFE ROLLERCOASTER
12 Bar Blues on Verses
ATwenty Years ago, remember I first spoke
DI Layed down the law, told them just what I thought
EMy mother said "Boy, youll be a man, just Dkeep your eyes open, do the Ebest that you can"
Well Afifteen years ago I was still a child.
DI thought the whole world lived in my town.
I was Ehappy playing football, It was my high,
and I Dlearned who my friends were and Ewho to fight.
Ch. ALife Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
GShakes my nerves, spins my head around
FSometimes high, sometimes on my knees
DI dont know were I'm going
I hardly Eknow were Ive been. Yeah AYeah.
Oh. Ten years ago I was thirteen,
Got my first taste of lovin' if you know what I mean
She showed me hers, I showed her mine
I thought "what have I been doing all this time"
Well five years ago you know I was eighteen
The first girl I loved, I thought that it was a dream
Her first name was Kerry, her second was Anne
I thought it was forever, but she let me down
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
Well two years ago, things had to change
So I jumped on a plane and headed for the States
Gorgeous woman everywhere, the sun always shines
I knew that I was gonna have the time of my life
But now Its today and nothings really changed
I still drink too much, I cant pay the bills.
As for understanding woman, I still have no clue
You know I think I knew more when I was two. Oh look out.
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.

Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh, I'm getting older too

Ah-ah, Climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, a landslide'll bring it down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, a Clandslide'll G/Bbring it dAm7own, oG/Bh-ohh
C   G/B  Am7.
The landslide'll bring it down.
