So we drive at the fate of this deep phoenix sky
With it’s contents that keep me alive
Incessantly breathing through the night
Till we crash with the white caps that ride on our backs
Breaking down on the sand of this western coast
Where I never once thought we would stand

But here we are now
Riding currents that taste of a new town
Feeling high as the night’s winding down
And now all I can see are white stars they span forever

As I lay by a streetlight not a word I could possibly say
To explain my intrigue by how emphatic we are just to be,

just to be

Now we run facing out at the southwestern sun
So content to be all so undone
Cause here in these moments we have won
And I’m sure that I’ve imagined these sites
But I forget why I was never enticed to go out and try
But tonight dream becomes life

Cause here we are now
Riding currents they taste of a new town
We’re so high as the night’s winding down
Just a spot on the map of this land it spans forever

As I lay by a streetlight not a word I could possibly say
To explain my intrigue by how emphatic we are just to be

And I wont take a minute for granted
I wont waste another word
These streets I would kill to be lost in

I lay by a streetlight as the summer air soaks in my lungs
Cause I lay by a streetlight
How impressive are we just to live and breathe in this world
And how lucky am I to be so alive in this world
Oh how precious are we just to simply be in this world

You were here when I wrote this one
So when you hear it you’ll know that it’s yours
You were high as a bird perched beside me listening closely
Mesmerized by the words that I would sing to you through your headphones
Well you looked so damn cute in those headphones
Just a quick hello but you’d soon go
And I miss you so bad I miss you so so bad
And I need you so bad I need you so so bad I need you so bad

(Repeat until the end of the first chorus then continue to play simple chords:)

e|—0—-1—-3—-3—|

G|—2—-2—-5—-4—|
D|—2—-3—-5—-5—|
A|—0—-3—-3—-5—|
E|——–1———3—|

These four just the same chords

I would use every time you would tell me,

Baby, write this one about me

You’d never catch me

I’m stealing last night’s story oh

But I doubt you really cared at all, no not at all

You’re the muse in my life

When you leave I’ll die

Will you keep me alive?

I miss you so bad I miss you so so bad

And I need you so bad I need you so so bad I need you so bad

And why do you come by if you’re leaving?

Why do you come by if you’re leaving?

And why do you give all the way in to take it back?

I need you so bad I miss you so bad I need you so bad yeah yeah

(Start playing riff from intro for the rest of the song:)

I look right and you stare back
And I’m finding refuge in your eyes
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do right now to be sure I don’t lose you this time
Cause I missed you so bad, I missed you so so bad
And I need you so bad I need you so so bad, I need you so bad

The song is in B, so you can play it in A with Capo 2.

Intro: A, E, F#m, D

Verse 1:
I noticed you before you bothered to acknowledge me,
Your golden ropes hung down the back of your restricting jeans.
Your eyes did glow, I did just know before you even turned your head.
So many things I should have said…

Chorus:
Bailey, you never took your high beams off of me,
And Bailey, the tension we conspired was indiscreet,
And Bailey, why was I so fain to set you free?
Bailey, that’s when I lost you carelessly. Bailey.

Verse 2:
I took the stage before I knew if you were there for me.
You let me know as we traded poses laced with chemistry.
You winked your eye and left my sight with no glass slipper or a sign,
Now you’re burning through my mind…

Chorus:
Bailey, you never took your high beams off of me,
And Bailey, the tension we conspired was indiscreet,
And Bailey, why was I so fain to set you free?
Bailey, that’s when I lost you carelessly. Bailey.

Aah -ah I wanna meet you back under these city lights,
If the passage of our stars align.
Whoah oh oh oh, Bailey.
Bailey, I miss those precious moments that we spent
And Bailey, I’m wondering where so many chances went

Chorus:
Bailey, you never took your high beams off of me,
And Bailey, the tension we conspired was indiscreet,
And Bailey, why was I so fain to set you free?
Bailey, that’s when I lost you carelessly. Bailey.

Bailey whoah oh oh oh
Bailey la ah ah ah ah
Bailey whoah oh oh oh
Bailey

Will I ever see you again?

Anyway, this chord chart makes this song very easy to play.
Listen to the strum pattern, it’s easy to figure out and if you get it right it sounds
impressive despite the simplicity of the chart.
dashes around a chord Ex, – C – means just strum it ones, and hard, play it with the
and you will know what I mean.
Chords used C, Am, F, G
Capo on first fret!

Verse 1
Hey Katie, I saw you in the movie.
And I wanted you to do me, right through my LCD.
And Katie, well I hope that you stay single.
By the time we get to mingle, which I hope to do so soon.
Cause all I really need to do is get to Hollywood.
And once I make it there I'm sure to make you mine for good.

Chorus 1
And maybe if this label guy signs my band then I’ll be a Rockstar.
And you’ll watch me play at an L.A. bar or maybe Starland Ballroom.
And our eyes will meet from the crowd
And the music won’t seem so loud
Cause it’s just you and I my Katie.
[-F-F-F-]
Verse 2
Whoa Katie you know I love you in your vinyl and fangs
but I prefer you in more innocent rags.
You look so profound when you dress down for me my Katie.
And I’ll be seeing you in Hollywood.
And once I make it there I know we’ll hit it off real good.

Chorus 2
And maybe if this label guy signs my band then I’ll be a Rockstar.
And you’ll watch me play at an L.A. bar or maybe Starland Ballroom.
And I’ll catch your eye from the stage
And you’ll get me lost in your gaze
Cause it’s just you and I my Katie

Bridge
Whoa Katie, La la la la la la la la la
I saw you on TMZ with some pretty guy but it was not me
So I wiki’d, he’s your producer from Underworld three
I guess your playing me Katie, I thought you might want to date me.
Wait, wait, wait, wait you’re married? Why didnt you tell me?
(Why didn’t you tell me?)

Outro/Chorus 3 (same melody)

-G- -G- -C-C- C

Maybe if I break this song it wont be long till I famous,
And you’ll pass my by with your sassy strut
And I’ll show you just what, you’ve been missing.
Cause dammit Im misssing you my Kaite
Oh Katie, la la la la la la la la la la Katie.
