3 Foot Tall

This song was pretty popular at one point, and I really liked it. I noticed that there weren't any online chords, so I figured them out with no hassle. Sorry it took me so long to post. I was really busy and we had a internet outage and blah blah blah. I just want to point it out that this song sound a lot better with barre chords and is easier. So instead of playing normal Bm, G, D, and As I play a normal Bm, 4232 (G), 2225 (D), and 6454 (A). Enjoy!

Lyric Source: http://www.metrolyrics.com/3-foot-tall-lyrics-classified.html

Bm               G                                       D
When you're alone, life can be a little rough. 
                      A                                 
Bm
It makes you feel like you're 3 foot tall. 
                      G                
                    D
When its just you, well times can be tough. 
                       A                                          Bm                 G

When there's no one there to catch your fall (Ay ay ay ay)
          D                    A
3 foot tall (Ay ay ay ay)

                             Bm                G
Like you're 3 foot tall (Ay ay ay ay)
         D

3 foot tall
                       A                                         Bm

When there's no one there to catch your fall

I'm from the cross roads, off roads
G                                                      Bm                                    G

Dodgin' all of the pot holes, in my auto-mobile hollerin' out watch out
      Bm                                           G

We lost hope like Bob Hope, so what are we supposed to follow?
        D                                            A

I'm a leader not an apostle, but I believe in the freedom that god holds
Bm                                    G

S***, I'm on the top rope, ready to jump so watch close
          Bm                                    G                                       Bm

Been criticized and boxed out since I was a snot nosed kid
                            G

We ain't livin' for tomorrow we live for the lord though
D                                           A

Everybody tryin' to fit in the crowd like where's Waldo
  Bm                                           G

I freeze time like photographs livin' for the moment
      Bm                                        G 

I'm taking mental pictures reminiscing while I'm smokin' 
Bm                                              G

When I see the the light of day right away I'll ride away
       D                                                 A

Cuz things I write and say give me direction like Michael Bay
            Bm                                                 G

I need somethin' in my life because my plans, they never work out
        Bm                                                     G

Like when I make plans to work out cuz everything don't always turn out
               Bm

Like you want them to, honest truth
G                                                              D

Nahh ain't nothin' wrong with Luke go walk this path alone 
                  A

But I need somebody here to talk me through, but who?



Bm               G                                       D

         D

3 foot tall
                       A                                         Bm

I know I have my unity, community, 
       G                                                                          Bm

But everyone that I did music with over the years disappeared,
                                      G
When they're ain't too many still doin' this
Bm                                           G

Feeling like I've gone to war, lost my soldiers on the journey
D                                                   A                                   Bm

If your friends think that, then you hang round money hungry pigeons

The world is hollow y'all need to eat up I'm makin' a pot roast
            D                                      A

These people are all over themselves and I ain't in to feeding no cockroach.

Love The Way You Lie

I found of this song while I was checking out WOTE (Walk Off The Earth) music videos. I'm not really a Rihanna/Eminem dude, but the way the dude with the super nice long hair covers it, perfect. Here it is. Also, you may have noticed some changes to the blog. I added a search bar and a list of stuff I'm working on. Enjoy.




 chord diagram   chord diagram   chord diagram   chord diagram


Intro: Gm, Eb, Bb, F x2 (WOTE Version)
Gm                                                           Eb
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
                Bb                                                F
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
                   Gm                                     Eb
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
                Bb                                                     F
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
                              Gm
I love the way you lie


I can't tell you what it really is, I can only tell you what it feels like
       Eb
And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
          Bb
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
                        F
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
Gm
High off her love, drunk from her hate,
                 Eb
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate
       Bb
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
       F
She f***ing hates me and I love it.
Gm
"Wait! Where you going?" "I'm leaving you!"
                      Eb
"No you ain't. Come back.” We're running right back. Here we go again
          Bb
It's so insane cause when it's going good, it's going great
     F
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
                     Gm
But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snapped
Eb
Who's that dude?
                    Bb
"I don't even know his name.
        F
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again. I guess I don't know my own strength


Gm                                                           Eb
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
                Bb                                                F
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
                   Gm                                     Eb
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
                Bb                                                     F
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
                              Gm
I love the way you lie


You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe when you're with 'em
      Eb
You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
             Bb
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah, them chills you used to get 'em
                     F
Now you're getting f***ing sick of looking at 'em
      Gm
You swore you'd never hit 'em; never do nothing to hurt 'em
                   Eb
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them
      Bb
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em
     F
Throw 'em down, pin 'em. So lost in the moments when you're in them
          Gm
It's the rage that took over, It controls you both
Eb
So they say you're best to go your separate ways
                                   Bb
Guess that they don't know you 'cause today that was yesterday
                     F
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Gm
Sound like broken records playing over but you promised her next time you show restraint
                Eb
You don't get another chance. Life is no Nintendo game
            Bb
But you lied again. Now you get to watch her leave out the window.
F
Guess that's why they call it window pane


Gm                                                           Eb
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
                Bb                                                F
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
                   Gm                                     Eb
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
                Bb                                                     F
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
                              Gm
I love the way you lie


Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
                  Eb
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
             Bb
But your temper's just as bad as mine is
                                         F
You're the same as me. When it comes to love you're just as blinded
         Gm
Baby, please come back. It wasn't you, baby it was me
                     Eb
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
                               Bb
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
      F
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Gm
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Eb
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk.
Bb
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
F
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the drywall
Gm
Next time? There won't be no next time!
            Eb
I apologize even though I know it’s lies
      Bb
I'm tired of the games I just want her back
                    F
I know I'm a liar

If she ever tries to f***ing leave again

Im'a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

I'm just gonna


Gm                                                           Eb
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
                Bb                                                F
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
                   Gm                                     Eb
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
                Bb                                                     F
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
                              Gm
I love the way you lie
