Capo 1st

Intro
 Em      D     A     Em
Ahhhhhh ahhhh ahhhh


Verse 1 (Bruno Mars)
 Em                              D
Truth of the matter is I'm complicated

 A                            Em
You're as straight as they come

 D
You go 'bout your day baby

 A                    Em
While I hide from the sun


Bridge (Bruno Mars)
 C                                 B7
It's better if you don't understand

 Em           D           C
Cause you won’t know what it's like

 B7          A
Til you, try


Chorus (Bruno Mars)
 Em            D            A                  Em
You know I, I've been waiting on the other side

 Em           D           A                Em
And you, all you gotta do is cross the line

 Em                D
I could wait a whole life time

 A                          Em
But you just gotta decide

 Em                  D            A
You know I, I've been waiting on the other

 A                Em
Waiting on the other side


Verse 2 (Cee Lo Green)
 Em               D
We would live forever

 A                 Em
Who could ask for more?

 Em                 D
You could die if you wanted

 A            Em
But baby what for?


Bridge (Bruno Mars/Cee Lo Green)
Chorus (Cee Lo Green)

Verse 3 (B.o.B)
 Em
If they say life's a dream

 D
Call this insomnia

 A
Cause this ain't Wonderland

 Em
It damn sure ain't Narnia

 Em
And once you cross the line

 D
You can't change your mind

 A
Yeah I'm a monster

 Em
But I'm no Frankenstein

 Em
And quite frankly

I've been feeling insane in between my eyes
 D
I really can’t explain what I feel inside

 A
If you knew what I was you's would run and hide

 Em
Many have tried to go into the night

 Em
Cross over the line and come back alive


But that's the price we pay when we living on the other side

Chorus (Bruno Mars)

Outro (B.o.B)
 Em      D     A     Em
Ahhhhhh ahhhh ahhhh

It’s better if you don’t understand x8




11. Somewhere in Brooklyn*

Capo 3rd

Chorus
 G                        C
She was covered in leather and gold

 Am                   D
Twenty one years old

 G                C
I lost her in the cold

 Am                D
It's unfair, she's out there

 G             C           Am             D
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn

 G             C           Am             D
She's somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn


Verse 1
 G                     C
Little miss perfect sitting at the train stop

 Am                     D
Red Nike high tops listening to hip-hop

 G                       C
While we were waiting started conversating

 Am                       D
Before I got her name along came a train


Bridge
 G    C    Am                D
(ohhhhh) next stop Brooklyn

 G    C    Am             D
(ohhhhh) now I'm lookin'


Chorus

Verse 2
 G                            C
On the street kickin rocks circling the same block

 Am                     D
Green farm flatbush checking every corner shop

 G                            C
Tappin' people's shoulders askin’ if they know her

 Am                     D
Everyday's the same back to the train


Bridge
Chorus

Outro
 G          C
Oh-oh-oh-oh

 Am                    D
I wonder if we'll ever meet again

 G          C
Oh-oh-oh-oh

 Am                D               G     C
I wonder we we'll ever meet again

 Am                D               G     C
Yeah I wonder if we'll ever meet again

 Am              D                     G
I hope we do, somewhere in Brooklyn
