Without Me

(Halsey Cover)

VERSE 1
Found you when your heart was broke
I filled your cup until it overflowed
Took it so far to keep you close
I was afraid to leave you on your own

PRE-CHORUS
I said I’d catch you if you fall
And if they laugh, then kcuf ’em all
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you could take advantage of me

CHORUS
Tell me how’s it feels sittin’ up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I’m the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
But baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why

VERSE 2
Gave love ’bout a hundred tries
Just running from the demons in your mind
Then I took yours and made ’em mine
I didn’t notice ’cause my love was blind

PRE-CHORUS
I said I’d catch you if you fall
And if they laugh, then kcuf ’em all
And then I got you off your knees
Put you right back on your feet
Just so you could take advantage of me

CHORUS
Tell me how’s it feels sittin’ up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I’m the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why, yeah
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
But baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why, ooh yeah…

BRIDGE
You don’t have to say just what you did
I already know
I had to go and find out from them
So tell me how’s it feel…?

CHORUS
Tell me how’s it feel sittin’ up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I’m the one who put you up there
Name in the sky
Does it ever get lonely?
Thinking you could live without me
Thinking you could live without me
Baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why, yeah
Thinking you could live without me
Live without me
But baby, I’m the one who put you up there
I don’t know why

Rock Or Roll?

CHORUS 1
Are you going to rock with me
Or just roll over
And play dead
Rock with me
Rock with me
Guarantee I’ll go to your head

VERSE 1
I was cruisin’ on my motorbike
Wind deep in my hair
My radio was on good and loud
Wasn’t heading for nowhere

Struttin’ her stuff on the side of the road
Moving to the beat of my song
Didn’t know for sure if she was staring me down
With those Aviators on

But it was perfect time with the beat of my song
Has to be, has to be, has to be with me

CHORUS 2
Are you going to rock with me
Or just roll over
And play dead
Rock with me
Rock with me
Guarantee I’ll go to your head
Are you going to rock with me
Or just roll over
And play dead
Rock with me
Rock with me
Guarantee I’ll go to your head

SOLO / BRIDGE
Do da boogie slide
Up on my motor bike
Do da boogie slide
Do da boogie slide

CHORUS 3
Are you going to rock with me
Or just roll over
And play dead
Rock with me
Rock with me
Guarantee I’ll go to your head

VERSE 2
She was cruisin’ down on her motorbike
Wind deep in her hair
Her radio was on good and loud
Wasn’t heading for nowhere

Struttin’ my stuff on the side of the road
Head bop to the beat of her song
She didn’t know for sure that I was staring her down
Cause I had my Ray Bans on

But it was in perfect time with the beat of her song
Has to be, has to be, has to be with me

CHORUS 3
Are you going to rock with me
Or just roll over
And play dead
Rock with me
Rock with me
Guarantee I’ll go to your head
Are you going to rock with me
Or just roll over
And play dead
Rock with me
Rock with me
Guarantee I’ll go to your head

Do da boogie slide
Up on my motor bike

Shining brightly under

Devil Ain’t Done With Me Yet

All right

VERSE 1
I’d like to quit drinkin’
And sometimes I’m thinkin’
I take things a little too far
There’s fightin’ and cussin’
And the law gets to fussin’
But maybe that’s just who I are

I go somewhat crazy
When the world’s a bit hazy
No telling what trouble I’ll get
I’d turn around on a dime
But I don’t think it’s time
‘Cause the devil ain’t done with me yet
(Ha ha ha – you’re gonna regret)

CHORUS 1
No, the devil ain’t done with me yet
Seems like I’m his favorite pet
He says to me stay, let me lead you astray
There’s still time to forgive and forget
There’s no telling what might come forth
Before my moral compass points north
But until that day’s here
I’ll have that next beer
‘Cause the devil ain’t done with me yet

VERSE 2
I’d like to quit lyin’
But I just stopped tryin’
It avoids being met with much wrath
And I could quit cheatin’
And stop over-eatin’
But I still walk down my primrose path

There’s been plenty of women
And gamblin’ and sinnin’
And I haven’t placed my last bet
Some day I’ll be holy
I’m approaching it slowly
But the devil ain’t done with me yet
(Oh boy – you better look out now)

CHORUS 2
No, the devil ain’t done with me yet
Seems like I’m his favorite pet
He says to me stay, let me lead you astray
There’s still time to forgive and forget
There’s no telling what might come forth
Before my moral compass points north
But until that day’s here
I’ll have that next beer
‘Cause the devil ain’t done with me yet

INSTRUMENTAL SOLOS

On Our Way Up

VERSE 1
Where we started out
Will we ever know?
So caught up in the now
Where should we go?

It’s been a bumpy ride
On this tight and narrow road
Giant ups, mellow downs
Let’s lighten up this load

PRE-CHORUS 1
Well, I have some news for you
This time we’re gonna bust through

CHORUS 1
We’re on our way up
We’re pilots on the highway in the sky
We’re on our way up
I have the feeling we can fly…

VERSE 2
Tomorrow’s a breath away
I’m putting it there for you
Don’t give up on those dreams
And they’ll come true

Above the doom and gloom
That’s being fed to you
Just soar up through the clouds
And only see what’s true

PRE-CHORUS 2
Ignore that back mirror
You’ll always be your own leader
Don’t take advice (or the shot)
From those who want to do you in (do you in)

CHORUS 2
We’re on our way up
I think you know the reason why
We’re on our way up
I have the feeling we can fly…….

BRIDGE
Brand new day
Open your eyes anew
Open your eyes to a brand new world

CHORUS 3
We’re on our way up
We’re pilots on the highway in the sky
We’re on our way up
I have the feeling we can fly……
We’re on our way up
We’re pilots on the highway in the sky
We’re on our way up!

Fast Train To Nowhere

VERSE 1
Electronic dating
Never seemed so good
And with the world wide web
Seems we’re all in the neighborhood
So he found her in a search
And they talked about a beach
Where they could meet – uh huh

VERSE 2
Just like him
She’s a blue water sign
How she got to know this
Wasn’t on his mind
All he knows is her pics rock
And she can simply knock
Him off his feet – uh huh

PRE-CHORUS 1
But when it was time to initiate
He wasn’t about to hesitate
And he was on the next rail outta town

CHORUS 1
On a fast train to nowhere
He didn’t know, he didn’t care
All he thought was she’d be waiting there
We’ve seen it all before
We hear about the girl next door
But when he arrived she wasn’t anywhere
The calling of a lonely heart
A lonely calling
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm
Ooh Ooh

VERSE 3
She was there
Not just in his mind
Sure that he was who she hoped to find
His profile was clean
And she was certain he was everything
He seemed to be

PRE-CHORUS 2
When it was time to initiate
She wasn’t about to hesitate
Away she went heading down the tracks
She hopped on the…

CHORUS 2
Fast train to nowhere
She didn’t know, she didn’t care
She was sure he’d be waiting there
We’ve seen it all before
An image of the boy next door
When she arrived he wasn’t anywhere
The calling of a lonely heart
A lonely calling
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm

BRIDGE
She looked around
He looked around
Here at a beach
Both completely out of reach
Mm Mm

Was this not meant to be?
Were they both living in a fantasy?
Suddenly they both looked up to see
Uh huh

Off in the distance
A silhouette of a distant memory

CHORUS 3
Fast train to nowhere
They didn’t know, they didn’t care
They were sure their love was waiting there
Out of sight, out of mind
They were sure they would find
The one they found and wanted all this time

We’ve seen it all before
Longing for, searching for
The only one that they were hoping for
The calling of a lonely heart
A lonely calling from the start
Did they arrive – only in their minds?
Then suddenly on the sunny shore
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm
Ooh Ooh
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm

You Were There

VERSE 1
There’s nothing like the sparkle
I see each day in your eye
Just knowing your warm gentle touch
Was always close by

PRE-CHORUS 1
On a stormy night
On the rocky shores
If and when I’m just about to fall

CHORUS 1
Most people would
Drive along, change the song, pass you by
Grab a phone, act like you nowhere
But you were there
Yes, you were there

VERSE 2
When I hear my phone ringing
I look down and see your face
‘Specially in time of need
I can count on you be in your place

PRE-CHORUS 2
On a sinking raft
In a smoke-filled room
Times when I shrink to 2 foot tall

CHORUS 2
Most people would
Drive along, change the song, pass you by
Grab a phone, act like you nowhere
Most people would
Hang you up, give you up, turn blind eye
Move along, run and just not care
But you were there
Yes you were there

BRIDGE
Like the cream floats to the top
You’re the cream of the crop
In my universe
I’ll always know you were there

CHORUS 3
Most people would
Drive along, change the song, pass you by
Grab a phone, act like you nowhere
Most people would
Hang you up, give you up, turn blind eye
Move along, run and just not care
But you were there
Yes you were there
You were there
Yes, you were there
REPEAT OUT…

The Gunslinger

VERSE 1
There was a troubled young gunslinger
In the stories of the west
Name was always twisted around
Depending on who told the story best

He was a gentleman by day
And a lady’s man by night
And on his daily howling escapades
Would escape the meanest fight
By the slim blade of a razor

VERSE 2
Got TB at 15
Made him grow up tough and mean
Living each and every day
As if the Lord would come and take it all away

PRE-CHORUS 1
(He said)
When nothings left to give
There was nothing there to take
The only way to live
Take on the world while you’re still awake

CHORUS
Treasure by day, pleasure by night
Struggle to keep things right
Treasure by day, pleasure by night
The only way – keep everything in your sight

VERSE 3
Heard there was a bounty on his head
But that was just hearsay
Two sure things to keep him loose
A bottle and a good hand dealt his way
(Now, isn’t that a daisy? Cover your ears darlin’)

Months would pass like a sandstorm
Years would ride on by
The best friend that he ever knew
Was a dude with a watchful eye

BRIDGE
When the reaper finally caught up
His last thought flashed in sight
The only way to live in this world
Treasure by day, pleasure by night

CHORUS
Treasure by day, pleasure by night
Struggle to keep things right
Treasure by day, pleasure by night
The only way – keep everything in your sight
(E-every day of your life
The Lord could take it away)
REPEAT TO FADE

A Real Good Time

VERSE 1
Well I was takin’ a break
With the boys in the band
Down at the Slipaway
To the right of the bar
I saw a bright shiny star
A bit shy but lookin’ my way

I had to look twice
Cause I had to be sure
God can play tricks on me too
But to my surprise
She had the look in her eyes
I had to make my move

CHORUS 1
The dance floor was burning
And so was my heart
And so was the Boogie Woogie
Time to whoop up a real good time!

VERSE 2
All in a flash
Our break was done in 10
Then back up on the stage
I told her now don’t you go nowhere
I think we played “Turn The Page”

I swear with those eyes
She was tearing me up
Or maybe she was knockin me down
With a single dart and I’m out….
Time to whoop up a real good time
Ahh Well, thank you bartender. Keep the change
Ow

INSTRUMENTAL SOLOS

CHORUS 2
The dance floor was humming
To the tune of my heart
And so was the Boogie Woogie
A stompin’ and rompin’
And spinning around
As far as the eye could see
A little bit lost
A little bit found
Lots of crazy people around
And it’s
Time to whoop up a real good time!
Yeah
Ooo Oh yeah
Ah ha…

Ah, let’s take it on home now

Everybody’s Talkin’ ‘Bout You

VERSE 1
I got a story to tell
From back in the day
You probably won’t remember
And it might be hard to take
If you had a mirror
With you in high school
You’d see me walking in the shadows right there
Walkin’ right next to you

CHORUS 1
Well let me tell you now…
I know’d it all along
That’s why I wrote this song
The things you eat, the clothes you wear
The color of your car
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
Yeah you!

VERSE 2
A couple years down the road
You moved way out west
I see you made it out to LA
Hooking up with the best
They’re all over you
Just like back in school
You got a place of your own
And they’ll never, ever leave you alone

CHORUS 2
Well let me tell you now…
I know’d it all along
Life ain’t treating you wrong
The places you been, I knew you when
And now you’re the star
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!

BREAKS

CHORUS 3
I finally got you on the phone
You seemed glad to get my call
Until I started talking ’bout me
But you didn’t hear nothing at all

CHORUS 3
Well let me tell you now
We’d known it all along
What’s keeping you strong
Your vanity, for the world to see
It’s in your blood
And everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
Yeah you!
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
Woh Oh Yeah!
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
You you you you
Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout you!
You you you you
