Joss Stone – Security

A loss that would have thrown
A hole through anybody’s soul
And you were only human after all

So don’t hold back the tears my dear
Release them so your eyes can [Esus2-Ebm-C#m]clear
I know that you will rise again
But you gotta let them fall

I wish that I could snap my fingers
Erase the past but no
You cannot rewind [Bb/D]reality
Once the tape’s unrolled

If your spirit’s broken and you can’t bear the pain
I will help you put the pieces back
A little more each day
And if your heart is locked and you can’t find the key
[Esus2-Ebm-C#m]Lay your head upon my shoulder
I’ll set you free
I’ll be your security

Chords: Abm, Ebm, Esus2

A moment of despair
That forces you to say that life’s unfair
It makes you scared of what tomorrow may bring

But don’t go giving into fear
Stop hiding all alone in there
The show keeps going on and on
But you’ll miss the whole damn thing

I wish I had a crystal ball
to see what the future holds
But we don’t know how the story ends
till it’s all been told

Chorus

On any clock upon the wall
The time is always now
So baby kiss the past goodbye
Don’t let the future blow your mind
Just sit back and chill
Take things as they come
You can’t be afraid
To [Bb/D]live for today
I will be with you each step of the way

Chorus 2x

Verse:
The fire in his belly’s taking over
He never watched the telly dressed or sober
He really likes the tiff give him a lift
And he won’t round now
He gets me to the point it’s nearly over
But somehow

Chorus:
Somehow I?d like to get to know him
Somebody told me that I shouldn’t claim him
Somebody told me that I should let him go
G (hit once)
Baby somehow, yeah

Riff x2

Verse:
I really hate to say this
I can’t wait till he gets older
Then I can assure you we?ll be fine
I won’t bow out
I know nobody’s perfect
When in love you gotta earn it
But until then I guess we?ll have to scream and shout

Chorus:
Somehow I?d like to get to know him
Somebody told me that I shouldn’t claim him
Somebody told me that I should let him go

Verse
Look here now you Casanova

verse 1:

I’ve got a right to be wrong

My mistakes will make me strong

I’m stepping out into the great unknown

I’m feeling wings though I’ve never flown

I’ve got a mind of my own

I’m flesh and blood to the bone

I’m not made of stone

A G (quiet)
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone D D

chorus:

I’ve got a right to be wrong

I’ve been held down too long

I’ve got to break free

So I can finally breathe

I’ve got a right to be wrong

Got to sing my own song

I might be singing out of key

But it sure feels good to me

A G (quiet)
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

bridge:

You’re entitled to your opinion

But it’s really my decision

I can’t turn back I’m on a mission

If you care don’t you dare blur my vision

Let me be all that I can be

Don't smother me with negativity

Whatever’s out there waiting for me

I’m going to faced it willingly

Bm Dmaj7 (x4

Verse 1:
Just when I thought I put you up
Silly old me, I called too many times
Thought you were about to love me up
Here I am getting all messed up by fking fireside

Chorus 1:
Then you drive all night saying what use is the night, when you can’t sleep anyway
You might be tired, but the fact to the matter is you’re standing right in front of my face
(no chord; riff 1)
You saved me, saved me from hate, it’s so close to love
No one’s ever done anything like this for me before
No one’s ever drove for miles to make me smile before

Verse 2:
I started to worry, do I smell nice?
Like a fool I left my gum on the side
Then I go and kiss you and the follow up from that was whole bunch of nothing
Wondering where you’re at

Chorus 2:
Then you drive all night saying what use is the night, when you can’t sleep anyway
You might be tired, but the fact to the matter is you’re standing right in front of my face
You saved me, saved me from hate, it’s so close to love
No one’s ever done anything like this for me before
Bm (no chord; riff 2)
No one’s ever drove for miles to make me smile before

No one’s ever done anything like this for me before
No one’s ever drove for miles to make me smile before
I’m happy, always grown, at least I can sing a love song
There’s no reason to believe the life outside of this
I’m glad that I was wrong, baby.
I can sing that we’re high, I can sing that we’re feeling

Chorus 3:

Then you drive all night saying what use is the night, when you can’t sleep anyway
You might be tired, but the fact to the matter is you’re standing right in front of my face
(no chord; riff 2)
You saved me,
No one’s ever done anything like this for me before
D (no chord)
No one’s ever drove for miles to make me smile before

Chorus 4:
Then you drive all night, what use is the night, when you can’t sleep anyway
You might be tired, but now you’re standing right in front of my face
You saved me, you saved me from hate, it’s so close to love
No one baby?.
No one’s ever done anything like this for me before
No one’s ever drove for miles to make me smile

Verse 1: Pre-Chorus 1:
I guess I’m picky with love Oh if I was blind
Well baby I give it up you’d help me see
it’s you I choose If I lost my mind
And don’t keep me waiting you’d find it for me
This girl’s got things Speak on it babe tell me
she needs to do what do you need
Because all I need is for you
to love me baby

Verse 2: Pre-Chorus 2:
Can’t stop my mind Baby I’m hungry
How am I supposed to function Bring me your sugar
Got me feelin’ for your lips on my kiss And pour it all over me baby
All night, never want no other lover

Bridge: Chorus:
Up till now my eyes could see Put your hands on me baby
Touch me once and it’s all hazy Put your hands on me baby
I don’t know why and I don’t know how You got me flipping
But somehow some way you got me Put your hands on me baby
Put your hands on me baby

Verse 3: Outro/Chorus:
I can’t explain can’t comprehend Put your hands on me baby
the world could reach its very end You got me flipping
and all I focus on is him One more time
The way he moves, he found his groove Put your hands on me baby
there’s nothing left to do Put your hands on me baby
but tell the world the truth One taste I’m trippin
Cause there’s no way out Just kiss me baby,
I love him, I feel him tell me you’re mine
Oh I’m lovin’ those hands Put your hands on me baby

Joss Stone – Spoiled

Intro: D, G, D, G

I kinda thought that I’d be better off by myself
I’ve never been so wrong before
You made it impossible for me to ever love somebody else
And now I don’t know what I left you for

See I thought that I could replace you
He can’t love me the way you do
‘Till now I never knew
Baby

I’m spoiled
By your love boy
No matter how I try to change my mind
What’s the point it’s just a waste of time
I’m spoiled by your touch boy
The love you give is just too hard to fight
Don’t want to live without you in my life
I’m s[Bb-Gm-D]poiled[Bb-Gm-F#m][Bb/Bbdim]

I tried to tell myself that I’d be over you in a week or two[F#m-Fm-Em]
But baby that was ‘bout a year ago
I’ve never seen the word love so personified as I do with yo[F#m-Fm-Em]u
And that is why I just can’t let go, oh no

Chorus

S[Bb-Gm-D]poiled
And I would only be fooling myself if I tried to
Believe there’s room for someone else in my heart
There ain’t no way I’m getting over you
I don’t know what I’ve been trying to prove
I’m hopeless, helpless when it comes to you

Chorus

I’ve been spoiled yeah yeah

Verse 1:

I met this boy in Molly town
He said boom, a boom, boom, boom
He said he’d like to buy my round
I said OK, but you can’t buy me baby
You look just like my favourite sound
So I stay la la la
Asking if I was allowed to come and play
The rest is history

Chorus:

What is a girl like me to do-u-u
Not for a second I can leave you-u-u
Been here a month and I know your smile-u-u
My heart is thinking I’ll stay a while-u-u-u-u

Verse 2:

The weeks went on and the months fell out
Of my way, what can I say now babe
You swore you’d always be around
If I say, so I’m saying
I hold my plans to the god of fate
And all he say was boom, boom, boom
You’re the point to the life I found
In a way, don’t think I’m crazy

(Chorus)

Cm Bb Cm (4x)

Got my camera, got my ciggs
and more I’m leaving it
Run from life as I knew it
Cause he got me, got me, got me transfixed
Thought I’d travel far away
But you caught me half the way
Down in Bordeaux I would stay
Cause you got me, got me, got me good babe

(Chorus)

Outro:

I’ll never let you go
Boy, you’re my cuppa cha
I’ll never let you go
No, no

Verse 3:

I see our love’s been lockin and there’s no talk about stopping
You just don’t wanna see me go
Every look I’ve been clocking, on your door I’ve been knocking
Get your life and baby let’s go, go

End:

Verse 1:

The more I fight the day
The more it drags on
And no blues can sing it away
I’ve just gotta press on
The more you talk to me, baby
The more I cry
Just leave me quickly, save me
From the darkness you provide

Pre-Chorus:

It’s just too hard
It’s just too hard to deal with
It’s just too much
It’s just too much to deal with
I had enough
So hang up on my call

Chorus:

Let me be, let me breathe
Let me get control of my focus
I can’t take this feeling no more
Please don’t make me love you no more
Let me be, let me breathe
Let me get me out from under
I can’t take this feeling no more
Please don’t make me love you no more
Don’t make me love you
Like I love you now, please

Verse 2:

You swore you’d love me forever
But you’d rather stay away
You promised we’d be together
Are you expecting me to wait
For an imaginary day
To come and fix this pain
Baby I know what you’re doing
And it’s a shameful game to play
Who exactly do you think I am
You’re not gonna wipe your feet on me
Just tell me straight
Let there be no mistaking

Pre-Chorus:

It’s just too hard
It’s just too hard to deal with
It’s just too much
It’s just too much to deal with
I had enough
So hang up on my call

Chorus:

Let me be, let me breathe
Let me get control of my focus
I can’t take this feeling no more
Please don’t make me love you no more
Let me be, let me breathe
Let me get me out from under
I can’t take this feeling no more
Please don’t make me love you no more
Don’t make me love you
Like I love you now, please

Bridge:

Oh, woah oh
Ooh, ooh, oh
You know that I don’t feel right without you

And you kinda like
the option of falling back into my love
Whenever you feel like
Way down, in the shadows I can make out
Just a chink of light
But the window’s just too high
Freedom’s asking me why I can’t make the climb

Why can’t I make it
Why you hold on to me

Chorus:

Let me be, let me breathe
Let me get control of my focus
I can’t take this feeling no more
Please don’t make me love you no more
Let me be, let me breathe
Let me get me out from under
I can’t take this feeling no more
Please don’t make me love you no more
You gotta let me go now
Let me move on
Let me be, let me breathe you

Yo, yup
Thanks for stoppin’ in
This ain’t no pop, no Mary Poppins , not a synonym
Ah Jr. Gong and Joss Stone the modern day Janis Joplin
Come to tell you what is happenin’
If you’ve been tuning in
I’m assuming that you’re unsatisfied unless
you don’t know the root of the music
From the beginning
In this modern day test tube factory that we’re livin’ in

[Verse 1]

What is this nonsense I can’t hear through?
This combination of money and fools
It’s abominable
Uncontrollable
Remember the stage where the flower child rules
and music was true so the people could choose
then the suits took control
Promote a new low

[Pre-Chorus]

My life is a soundtrack to a beautiful movement
Composed to get closer to a revolution
What are you doing?

Wake up
Tell me what is this nonsense
Why can’t we be conscious?
Of what we’re feeding our people
Wake up
Tell me what is this nonsense
You killed the conscious
With your deliberate evil

[Verse 2]

What is this sht now we’re forced to sit?
The greenery gone and our soul got split
It’s incredulous
How your lyrics got prejudice
Cast your mind back to the soul out flick
When a couple of strings and a mic was it
It’s a fashion-less show
Unbelievable

[Pre-Chorus]

(First they take your mind)

Ambiguous and subliminal
What does singing have to do with my abdominals?
Better read the fine print in your peripherals
(Then they take your soul)
Him and me lawyer come pen pals, suddenly I hear
funny signals
What a sneaky set of individuals
(And just before you know)

You can’t see no residuals
And those who say they have your back
you take it out a straight attack
and sell out for decimals
(The whole of you is owned by
Somebody else, your screamin’ for help
So shake up yourself, the call is comin’ through)
Some truth from me to you

What’s this nonsense
Can’t we be conscious?
Of what we’re feeding our, what we’re feeding our
What’s this nonsense
Can’t we be conscious?
Can’t we be, can’t we be?
Now wake up, wake up
All my people now wake up
Wake up for me, wake up for me people
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
You got to be conscious
