A*
I don't know where I'm gonna live
A*
Don't know if I'll find a place
D Dsus
I'd have to think about it some
A*
And that I do not wish to face
            E
I guess I'm counting on his
D           A*
Divine Intervention
 
 
I cannot understand my God
I donUt know why it gets to me
One day my life is filled with joy
And then we find we disagree
All depending on his
Divine Intervention
 
Does he love us does he love us?
Does he love us does he love us?
I look around and all I see is destruction
We're all Counting on his
Divine Intervention
 
When he comes the sun shine
When he comes the sun shine
Sunshine, the sunshine
Here it comes...

D        G       A
When you said to me
D        G       A
You are not so old
D        G       A
Did I know it then?
D        G       A
'Cause I had just been told
  G      D/F#      Em
I didn't think I'd find you
        A           D
Perfect in so many ways

But I've been waiting [waiting]

And I want to [have you]
G    D/F# Em       Em  A
I've been waiting [waiting]
 
And I want to
 
The secret on your lips
That nobody knows
Gentle in your eyes
You can wear my clothes
 
I didn't think I'd find you
Perfect in so many ways
But I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to [have you]
I've been waiting [waiting]
And I want to

@SONG: Girlfriend
 
chords are:  C# - B - F# for the verses, and F# - B - F# - C# for
the choruses... all the lead stuff in is C#, and with those chords
does that make it mixolydian, since F# - B - C# define F#?
 
I want to love somebody
I hear you need somebody to love
Oh I want to love somebody
I hear you're looking
for somebody to love
 
'Cause you need to be back
in the arms of a good friend
and I need to be back
in the arms of a girlfriend
 
I didn't know nobody
and then I saw you coming my way
Oh I didn't know nobody
and then I saw you coming my way
 
Don't you need to be back
in the arms of a good friend?
Oh 'cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you
my girlfriend
[solo]
 
Don't you need to be back
in the arms of a good friend?
Oh 'cause honey believe me
I'd sure love to call you
my girlfriend
 
'Cause you
got a good thing going baby
You only need somebody to love
Oh you got a good thing going
You're only looking
for someone to love
'Cause you need to get back
in the arms of a good friend
 
And I'm never gonna set you free
No I'm never gonna set you free
 
@SONG: Looking at the Sun
 
Do you really want to
Run away with me?
Would you really like to
Run away with me?
I can feel very clearly
But no longer see
 
For oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now
 
I was looking for somebody
That you couldn't be
I was looking for somebody
That you will never be
I was so sure that there was
Nothing wrong with ne
 
For oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now...I'm blind
[solo]
 
Do you really want to
Run away with me?
I can feel very clearly
But no longer
Oh, looking at the sun
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And now I'm blind
Waiting for you to appear
Watched you getting nearer
Like I knew it was in my heart
'Til the damage was already done
Looking at the sun
Burned my eyes out
And I'm blind now
Yeah I'm blind now
 
@SONG: Winona
 
Intro
C D G D/F# Em C D G
 
G
I tried to call you
                 A
But the line was busy
D                     G
Were you talking to a friend?
G                       A
When I tried again much later
D                            G
I didn't want to let it ring again
G                         A
So you can see I've got a problem
D               G
Back by popular demand
G
Sometimes I want to
        A
Keep it from you
D
Sometimes I think
            G
You'll understand
 
G D/F# Em
 
Em
Could you be my
       A
Little movie star?
D                         G   D/F# Em
Could you be my long lost girl?
Em
It's true that
               A
I don't really know you
D                    G
But I'm alone in the world
 
[solo over chorus chords]
 
When I think maybe I need you
I don't care if if it's not true
'Cause it isn't so much
What I need now
As what I want from you
 
Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world
 
Could you be my
Little movie star?
Could you be my long lost girl?
It's true that
I don't really know you
 
I feel alone
I feel alone...
