But I don't think I'm scared GREEN AND GRAY A C#m I'm in a room full of people all hanging on one person's breath. G Bm We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death, A C#m And I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when G A He aimed for the bullýs eye and hit it nine times out of ten. all of the verses are the same so repeat this progression Chorus A B D F#m D E Green is the color that everyone sees all around me A B D F#m E A Gray is the color I see around her, but she's just a blur D C#m Bm A The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear F#m C# And they don't really care what I play D C#m Bm E A Might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray We paid and we cheered, now we're gone and to us that feels right. But for him, every one of those evenings turns into a night With another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend that he's doing fine with his notebook and discman for friends. He says "Green is the color everyone sees all around me. Gray is the color I see around her, and she's just a blur." Night after night what I hear, what I write fills the room and my head starts to sway. It might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray. I want you to love me, he whispers, unable to speak And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak. Then he awoke. Now he's scared to death somebody heard. If it was you, and you know her, please don't say a word. Seven Wonders by Nickel Creek Tabbed by: Aaron Bonner This is just the general chord progression.

Sara Watkins / Alison Krauss. F#m "Well met, well met, said an old true love. "Well met, well met, said he. E C#m "I have just returned from the salt, salt sea. D E F#m "And it's all for the love of thee." (The rest is all the same, with pauses and musical interludes. But this is the chord Progression for the whole song.) Come in, come in, my own true love, And have a seat by me. It's been three-fourths of a long, long year, Since together, we have been. "I can't come in and I can't sit down, "For I've only a moment's time. "They say you're married to a house carpenter, "And your heart will never be mine. "I could have married a King's daughter, fair, "And she would have married me, "But I have forsaken her crowns of gold, "And it's all for the love of thee." "Now you forsake your house carpenter, "And go along with me. "I'll take you where the grass grows green. "On the banks of the deep blue sea." Then she picked up a darlin' little babe, And kisses, she gave it three. Saying "Stay right here, my dalrin' little baby, "And keep your pappa company." They had not been on the ship two weeks, I'm sure it was not three, Till his true love began to weep and to mourn, And she wept most bitterly. Sayin': "Are you weepin' for my silver and my gold." Sayin': "Are you weepin' for my store? "Or are you weepin' for your house carpenter, "Whose face you'll never see no more?" "A curse, a curse to the sailor," she cried. "A curse, a curse," she swore. "You robbed me of my darlin' little babe, "That I shall never see no more." They had not been on the ship three weeks, I'm sure it was not four, When there came a leak in the bottom of the ship, And sank them for to rise no more. BEAUTY AND THE MESS Intro (hook): F Em Am C F Em Am C F Em Am C F Em Am - Verse1: Am Em Am Em Dm Blue Water, Blue eyes color me. Am Em Am Em Am If any could come this close I'd let them see. Get it out again, play em one more song. It's all they really want and who's to say that's wrong. (Chorus 1) Dm Em F G Ain't that what you want them to know? Em Am G D3 F All they get of you is what they get out of the show. E F Dm E The rest is mine I guess, the beauty and the mess, to hide. F(hook 1x) Verse: I pull my self under and down I go again. It's just a little bit harder letting them in. Looking at the world through illusive eyes. I hide in the spotlight, it's a great disguise. (Chorus 2) Ain't that what you want them to know? All they, all they get of you is what they get out of the show. The rest is mine I guess, the beauty and the mess, to hide. Am (Bridge, use hook chords) F Em Am C Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing. F Em Am But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away. Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing. But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away. Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing. But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away. (Chorus 3) Ain't that what you want them to know? All they, all they get of you is all they get of you is what they get out of the show. The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess. Ain't that what you want them to know? All they get of you is what they get out of the show. The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess, The rest, the rest is mine I guess, The beauty and the mess, The rest, the rest is mine I guess, I guess the beauty and the mess, To hide. SABRA GIRL Bm D A Em Lonely the life that once I led. Bm D A Strange the paths on which we tred D G A Led me to you, unlikely but true. Em A Bm A Sabra girl, clouding my view. Rainy the day the first time we met. Deep was the talk and forever my debt. It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song. Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone. Early the morning and sad the goodbye. With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye. So lately did meet, no sooner to part. Sabra girl, homeward must start. Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand. Reading between them to misunderstand, I made the mistake you said not to make. Reading your letters conviction did grow. I thought it a chance and I knew I must go. It's hard to believe I could be so naive. Sabra girl, flattered but deceived. Now you just told me that a friendship is all. I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall. Illusions and dreams as usual it seems. Sabra girl, they have been my downfall. Lonely the life and dismal the view. Closed is the road that leads to you. Since better can't be as friends we'll agree. Sabra girl, time will cure me.

bell awesome) Five years ago you pressed your hand into a brand new sidewalk its well worn now and though some tried yours is the only print there you might not have meant to but its time you cant take it out youre shy about what fortune lent you is that what this is about? Smile while you can cause when they find youre not amused, not really they rob you blind of what they gave yes you gave them that power you might not have meant to but its time you cant take it back you cry about where fame sent you without a plan of attack Five years ago I warned you, dear as a concerned admirer you never new, you never heard the veil was still in place Thank god you hate to listen cause I would not be here lifting the veil to kiss you next to a brand new sidewalk
