Sprawl II

I learnt of this song from my Uke club and thought it would be a great addition to the blog. I'd advise playing it C, Am, F with your finger barring the third fret, and move up for the last verse. I put the chords down for those of you who don't want to do that. Enjoy!

Intro: D#

D#                                                                 Cm
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
                                                      G#                  D#

Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
                                                        Cm
These days my life, I feel it has no purpose
                                             G#                D#
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
                                                           Cm
'Cause on the surface the city lights shine
                                                    G#          D
They're calling at me, come and find your kind
                                                           Cm
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
                                      G#                   D
That we can never get away from the sprawl


Chorus:
G#               D#
Living in the sprawl
G#                     D#                  G#                          D#
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
                                  Cm
And there's no end in sight
                                                  G#                  D#
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights

D#                                               Cm
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
                                         G#                  D#
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
                                                         Cm
We shield our eyes from the police lights
                                   G#              D#
We run away, but we don't know why
                                                    Cm
On the black river, the city lights shine
                                                        G#            D#
They're screaming at us, we don't need your kind
                                                            Cm
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
                                       G#                  D#
That we can never get away from the sprawl

Chorus:
G#               D#
Living in the sprawl
G#                     D#                  G#                          D#
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
                                  Cm
And there's no end in sight
                                                  G#                  D#
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights

F# D#m F# A#

E                                                                   C#m
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
                                                      A                      E
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock

Brave

This is the first time I heard of Sara Bareilles, and she has such a amazing voice, it's incredible. this is the first song I post up on the blog that is sung by a girl, and I'm happy it's this one. I also love the video. Mental note: post more songs sung by girls.

Intro:
A

A
You can be amazing
                                                            F#m
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
                                                           D
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
                E
Or you can start speaking up
A
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
                                        F#m
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
                              D
Sometimes a shadow wins
      E
But I wonder what would happen if you

A
Say what you wanna say
F#m                          D
And let the words fall out
            E   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
A
With what you want to say
F#m                          D
And let the words fall out
        E
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

A
I just wanna see you

D
I just wanna see you
F#m
I just wanna see you
E
I wanna see you be brave

A
Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down
                 F#m
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
                                D
Bow down to the mighty
        E                              A
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
                                                                     F#m
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
                                                                   D
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
            E
Show me how big your brave is

A
Say what you wanna say
F#m                          D
And let the words fall out
            E   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
A
With what you want to say
F#m                          D
And let the words fall out
        E
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

F#m                 A
And since, your history of silence
D                  E
Won’t do you any good
D         E
Did you think it would?

F#m                    A
Let your words be anything but empty
D                                       E
Why don’t you tell them the truth?

Acapella until D
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
D         E   
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
A
With what you want to say
F#m                     D
And let the words fall out
        E
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

A
I just wanna see you
D
I just wanna see you
F#m
I just wanna see you
E
I wanna see you be brave

A
I just wanna see you
D
I just wanna see you
F#m
I just wanna see you
E
I wanna see you be brave

A
I just wanna see you
D
I just wanna see you
F#m
I just wanna see you
E
I wanna see you be brave

Radioactive

Sorry for no posts in the last week, I was on vacation in Cuba, Anyway, this is my second song from Imagine Dragons, and my second favorite after Demons. I find the video weird, but I also find that for allot of Imagine Dragons songs you have to watch the video to understand the message. Enjoy!
