1. Expired Lover
     (CAPO 3)

[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (G , C) with (A# , D#)]

-----Intro-----
G               C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G               C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

-----Verse I-----
G
I don't want you anymore
C
Summer's gone, and now I'm sure
G

The box behind my bed I've saved
C
I took out with the trash today
G
Oh, the truth is: I've met someone new
C
The truth is: you probably have, too
G
The truth is: I can't stand your face
C
When I think of all the love we made

-----Chorus-----
G
Oh, we took a walk- we took a walk out by the Hudson River,
C
The human breaks, you need to please, and make my shoulders shiver
G
You asked me, "Baby girl, how long until my heart recovers?"
C
I'm sure the answer's "Never."
G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover

-----Interlude-----
G               C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G               C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

-----Verse II-----
G
No, I'm not the only girl to save
C
Items past their expiration date
G
I sucked you up, 'til my stomach churned
C
My throat closed, my eyes would burn
G
Someone told me that love was suppose to hurt
C
But, now I've learned
G
And, I don't want this anymore
C
Like hand-me-downs, waitin' by my door
G
I kept you around, but I don't know what for

-----Chorus-----
G
So, I took a walk all by myself from river side to south street
C
It's 2 a.m.; I've let you in, and whenever your here, I can't sleep
G
Is there anyway to save you and me?
C
Baby, now that I've discovered, enjoy takin' all my covers, this is your last sleep over
G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover
G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover

-----Outro-----
G               C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G               C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, No

And I'm not normally the jealous jealous type
        F                             C
But I imagined it'd be you and me tonight
            F
And I bet Julie's really smart,

Oh you keep saying she's so cool
            F            Am                  C
But if you pick her over me, you're just a fool

So take home Julie, we'll be drinkin' it too

Take home Julie, we've got catching up to do

I said I was alone and you just laughed out loud
 C                        Am
How do broken hearts make you so proud
 C                          Am
Left a comfy bed, I left my lover of a year
   C            Am           C
To be with you, be with you here
              F                            C
And I'm not normally the jealous, jealous type
           F                                  C
But you deserve a girl with matching sparkly eyes
            F
A girl who makes you dance til dawn
               C
And makes you wanna write a song
            F                  Am             C
And if you think that that is Julie, you're wrong

I'm staring at the ground as she walks right by,
         C                          Am
You're staring at me now 'cause I refuse to say hi
           C                             Am
I'm just staring into space 'cause all I got on my mind

Elevator kisses summer summer time
    C           Am      C
Elevator kisses you and I

And I'm not normally the jealous jealous sort
               F                     C
But if we're picking favorites I am yours
             F
And I know Julie doesn't drink and
          C
I'm just hanging at the bar
        F                 Am       C
So go ahead and call up Julie a car
          F                 Am     C
Yeah go ahead and call up Julie a car

Just take home Julie, take up my heart,
      C          Am       C
I'm ready, I am ready to start
    C                         Am
So take home Julie, we'll be drinkin' it too
 C                          Am
Take home Julie, we've got catching up to do

But I imagined it'd be you and me this time
            F
And I bet Julie's really smart,
             C
Oh you keep saying she's so cool
            F            Am                 C
But if you pick her over me, you're just a fool

Huh, huh, huh, huh

-----Verse I-----
      E
Oh I wish I was a doctor, who could heal your broken heart
    A
Analyze each bruise and hear your story from the start
      E
And stitch up every tiny tear With a ribbon and a bow
      A                                                    E

-----Verse II-----
   E
No I am not a doctor, just an ordinary girl
        A
But I'm all the way you chest aches, the way your head swirls

When I'm bend and beat and broken down, by the one who knew you best
      A                                                  E
I was sleeping when he cut my veins, the knew only life how was

-----Verse III-----
   E
No I am not a doctor, but I've got some extra time
     A
I've got some drugs I keep in the stock called vodka and red wine
   E
Oh we both know that your not gonna sleep tonight
A                                            E
I am not a doctor, but maybe you could let me try

Your temperature is getting pretty high

We'll help you get undressed and put your drink on ice

-----Verse IV-----
         E
No I'll never be a doctor, I hated science class
         A
But my parents liked to say how I picked up new skills pretty fast
       E
And I bet deep down we both got talents yet to discover
          A
So lets buckle down get to work help you recover

-----Chorus-----
      A                        E
So I put my hand against your head
   A                  E
I recommend that you stay in bed
         A                          E
Your temperature is getting pretty high
       A                                    E
We'll help you get undressed and put your drink on ice

-----Verse V-----
E                       A
I could be the doctor, you could be the patient
   E                    A                   E
Instead of operation, built to any temptation
  A                                 E
There were things she wouldn't do, baby boy this night
               A
Its all about you

Uh, uh, uh, uh
           A

Walk you to Times Square, walk to the moon?
 G                                               Em
What can I, what can I, what can I do what can I do?

-----Verse II-----
          D
Oh, it's been a long time, but it's been about right
          G
You're looking like you need a kiss or a fight
     D
Without my love you don't know how to live.
            G                                            Em
Is there somebody, somebody else who could make it worth it?
           G              D              G        A
Somebody else? Somebody else? Somebody else?

-----Chorus-----
        D
And I know you're alone, most of the day
    G
I know you spend night the very same way
   D
I know you're not with somebody new,
    G
I won't break his heart to fix you
        D
And I think, and I prey, about last September
    G
As time goes by, I barely remember
        D
And I know you say you would change that night
            G                                Em     A
But I was never yours, and you're no longer mine

-----Verse III-----
     D
Oh, I'd like to kiss you, but my lips are purple
     G
And I'd like to love you, but our love is spent
         D
And we wasted our wishes, hurt our best friends,
         G                                        Em
Made a home in heart ache, and now can't pay the rent

-----Verse IV-----
     D
So, what can I, what can I do for you, honey?
 G
I'm not a movie star, pretty play bunny.
 D
I'm just a lucky hack fooling myself.
    G                                    Em
If you want perfection look to somebody else
           G             D              G      A
Somebody else, somebody else, somebody else

-----Chorus-----
        D
And I know you're alone, most of the day
    G
I know you spend night the very same way
   D
I know you're not with somebody new,
    G
I won't break his heart to fix you
        D
And I think, and I prey, about last September
    G
As time goes by, I barely remember
        D
And I know you say you would change that night
            G                                Em     A
But I was never yours, and you're no longer mine

-----Verse V-----
 D
What can I, what can I do for you, honey?
 G
Buy you a coffee? Lend you some money?
 D
Walk you to Times Square, walk to the moon?
 G
What can I, what can I, what can I

-----Outro-----
 Em
What can I, what can I, what can I,
 G
What can I, what can I, what can I,
         D
What can I do?

-----End-----

7. Masterpiece
 (CAPO 3)

[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (C , F , G) with (D# , G# , A#)]

-----Verse I-----
C
I walked by colorful sidewalk
   C
Children with buckets of pastel chalk
                  F                         G
And I thought of you, my love I thought of you

-----Verse II-----
   C
So I walked until the sun went down
C
I thought that no one else was around
             F                        C
Until I saw you, my love until I saw you

-----Chorus-----
    C
My black, white life turns to color
     G
But baby, I'm with another
      F                                     G
When you pull out your suitcase of finger paints
     C
My cheeks burn red from your kisses
    G
My blue heart shivers and misses
         F                                    G
Your brushstrokes, a masterpiece made in the rain
               C      G
Made to wash away

-----Verse III-----
             F
You build castles in the clouds,
          G
when the sky was clear and blue
        F                                G
No one else sees cloud castles 'cept for me and you
           F                                G
And the grayness turns to glitter, with a laugh and a wink
           F                        G
All the buildings are outlined in orange, and gold and pink

-----Chorus-----
    C
My black, white life turns to color
     G
But baby, I'm with another
        F                                 G
So you pull out your suitcase of finger paints
     C
My cheeks burn red from your kisses
    G
My blue heart shivers and misses
         F                                    G
Your brushstrokes, a masterpiece made in the rain
               C  G  F  G
Made to wash away
               C
Made to wash away

8. Dad Says
 (CAPO 4)

[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (C , Am , G , D) with (E , C#m , B , F#)]

-----Verse I-----
       C        G         Am      G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
     C          G          Am      G
I found out I can't always get my way
        C         G          Am             G
And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay
         C        G         Am      G
So I'm giving up one of my dreams today
  C            G         Am          G
When we are children we look to the sky
    C        G            Am          G
We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why

-----Verse II-----
    C            G       Am          G
And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea
     C             G              Am          G
I dreamed I would find one who'd swim next to me
     C            G             Am          G
And this called love and it's worth every reason
  C          G             Am             G
Love is the cool and the warmth in each season
     C            G        Am           G
But how does one love and what does one do
           C             G            Am           G
When the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you

-----Chorus-----
     C  G       Am      G
But oh oh don't cry for me
       C             G            D
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
     C  G            Am         G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
     C          G            D
Is just a sign I'm getting older

-----Verse III-----
 C         G        Am           G
He was a stoner and I'm like a light
      C             G             Am           G
And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side
    C               G           Am               G
But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight
    C            G             Am         G
And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night

-----Chorus-----
     C  G       Am      G
But oh oh don't cry for me
       C             G            D
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
     C  G            Am         G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
     C          G            D
Is just a sign I'm getting older

-----Verse IV-----
         C             G           Am          G
Oh they say to much smoking will change your taste
        C               G           Am          G
Maybe that's why he's kissing some other girls face
    C         G          Am     G
But I never dreamed of second place
         C          G           Am        G
So I'd rather just quit than continue to race

-----Chorus-----
     C  G       Am      G
But oh oh don't cry for me
       C             G            D
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
     C  G            Am         G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
     C          G            D
Is just a sign I'm getting older
    C   G        Am         G
And oh oh I am singing on stage
         C          G             D
But it doesn't mean I know much better
   G                 Am         G
Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me
      C       G         Am           G
Some days dreaming and some days a quitter

-----Verse V-----
        C       G          Am     G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
  C       G            Am           G
After I held him and begged him to stay
      C        G              Am         G
And after my dream will drown out to a whisper
  C          G            Am            G
After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures

-----Verse VI-----
      C       G         Am             G
And after I erased our names from the sky
            C      G        Am    G
Stopped wondering how and asking why
       C          G         Am        G
Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire
          C             G           Am            G
But the truth is I'm ripped and I'm sad and I'm tired
        C        G             Am         G
I'm a loser in love and an abandoner of dreams
      C          G              Am       G
And today I have up the one for him, and me

9. Be Good
 (CAPO 2)

[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (C , Am , G , D) with (E , C#m , B , F#)]

-----Verse I-----
 G               C
Its unclear now what we intend
  G         C
We're alone in our own world
 G                 C
And you don't want to be my boyfriend
 G               C
And I don't want to be your girl

-----Chorus-----
     G               D
And that, that's a relief
               Am
We'll drink up our grief
               C
And pine for summer
           G              D
And we'll buy a beer to shotgun
                 Am
And we'll lay in the lawn
               C
And we'll be good

-----Verse II-----
 G               C
Now I'm laughing at my boredom
 G            C
And my string of failed attempts
 G               C
Cause you think that its important
 G             C
And I welcome the sentiment

-----Chorus-----
           G                D
And we'll talk on the phone at night
             Am                 C
Until its daylight and I feel clever
        G               D
Then I hear a slow in your speech
                Am
Yeah your half asleep
        C
Say goodnight

-----Interlude-----
 G   D  Am   C
Ooh Ahh Ooh Ahh
 G   D  Am   C
Ooh Ahh Ooh Ahh

-----Verse III-----
 G            C
Now I've got friendships to mend
 G                 C
And I'm selfishly dispossessed
 G              C
You don't wanna be my boyfriend
 G                C
And it's probably for the best

-----Chorus-----
       G                D
Cause that, that gets messy
              Am
And you will hurt me
            C
Or I'll disappear
        G              D
So we will drink beer all day
                     Am
And our guards will give way
           C
And we'll be good
              G
And we'll be good

-----End-----
