C#m A E B Cm#7-5
C#m A E
V1. I can't help the way that I was then, a whole lot wilder than I am today
B Cm#7-5
Never at a loss for way too much to say
C#m A E
Never getting anywhere, riding on a whirlwind, trying too hard not to care
B Cm#7-5
That I couldn't get away from there
CHORUS
G D A G
Now that I'm with you my life's turned around You came to me out of the blue
D A C G D
Now I revel in the love I've found with you, with you
V2. I can't wait to see what I will have been / A bit more together than I am today / A little fuzzy as to how I got that way / Ridin' the waves, more stable now my sails are trim/ Holdin' on to breezes coming into play / Deciding if they're going to or from my way
V3. I can't wait to see where we will have been / Happy to remember all the trips we took / Looking forward to the ones we've yet to book / Throwin' a rope a-round the whirlin' wind / Holdin' on tight and staying well aware / Trying to remember just how we got there
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Does it seem an impossible dream has come true? [C G D]
Is it time to be all that I am to you? [C G D]

Waitress
She's older than she looks but decades younger than she feels [D]
A victim of a lot of broken promises and deals [C2]
Now she serves up orange juice and coffee with the meals [G]
Holding back the sadness her smile cannot conceal [D]
She doesn't know the meaning of defeat, no sinking ship
Can stop her from succeeding, and she'll never let it slip
That every now and then she'd like to take a break and sit
A spell would take her straight away but she ain't got time for it (She's a)
CHORUS
...waitress, waiting for the day that she can move away [Am Em Bm]
Just walk out that door and not think about bills to pay
And though she wonders how much her tips will bring today
She's thankful for the work and prays somehow everything's gonna be okay [C G D]
When she gets home she sits down with her baby by her side
He helps her to forget the pain and all the tears she's cried
About a picture in her memory of a happy, blushing bride
And someone she has not forgot, though he has let her slide
As stories go, these days, hers is typical as the rest
She'd like her baby's daddy there, but it's probably for the best
Instead of being loving, he was jealous and obsessed
Comparing then and now, she's clearly not quite as depressed (being a)
CHORUS (interlude D-C-G)
Her prayers were answered by a man on a business trip
When their hands touched as she gave him his burger, drink, and chips
They are still together, their love just will not quit
And when they they dine, it's on their minds to give a great big tip ( to the)
CHORUS 2
Waitress, waiting on them hoping she can move away
Just walk out that door and not think about bills to pay
And though she wonders how much her tips will bring today
She's thankful for the work and prays somehow everything's gonna be okay
(Interlude chords D C G) It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay

Two Left Feet
Opened my eyes I realized
Had them no surprise I lost my girlfriend blues
Opened my eyes I realized
Had them no surprise I lost my girlfriend blues
Feel like I got two left feet
And nothing to wear but a pair of right-footed shoes
I got no rap, broke my strap
My flip's a flap, and my flop just will not do
I got no rap, broke my strap
My flip's a flap, and my flop just will not do
Feel like I got two left feet
And nothing to wear but a pair of right-footed shoes
BRIDGE:
Don't | want to dwell on worst case scenarios
Experience says cut to the chase, | so I might as well go
I know it's a case of negative self- | fulfilled prophecy
E Eb D Db C B Bb A
When I | turn what could be good into what I don't want it to be
Lead Break
Every day I hope and pray that everything will be okay
But I'm so blue
Every day I hope and pray that everything will be okay
But I'm so blue
I feel like I got two left feet
And nothing to wear but a pair of right-footed shoes
BRIDGE
And I open my eyes and realize
Got them no surprise I lost another girlfriend blues
Open my eyes and realize
Got them no surprise I lost another girlfriend blues
Feel like a dancer with two left feet
And nothing to wear but a pair of right-footed shoes
Instrumental through four lines of verse, tag refrain

Maya by Bob Farley (April 2010)
1/ 7b/// 4// 1// (key of E) 1=E, 7b=D, 4=A, 5=B, 3=G
It's a picture perfect day
For watching sailboats ply the bay
Cotton dress flows in the breeze
We could use more days like these
5-4 My my Maya, My my Maya
Big brown eyes see right through me
Beautiful smile I love see
Who can tell what's on her mind?
She is mystery defined
My my Maya, My my Maya, My my Maya
Refrain
3 7b Up in the mountains where she lives
3 7b A lifetime that she can't forgive
4 1 A past that I may never know
5 4 1 My my Maya, Come on, let's go
Another picture perfect day
Watching sailboats ply the bay
Walking barefoot in the sand
Heart to heart and hand in hand
My my Maya, My my Maya, My my Maya

TAKE A CHANCE Bob Farley & Lynn Perdzock ©6.11
Sun chases moon across the sky
They dance their dance as you and I
Find what we will be
What's right for you and me
Take a chance, give and take
Take a chance, hearts may break
Take a chance, make no mistake
Gotta take a chance for love
Birds turn cartwheels in the sky
A love embrace in flight
Free fall then part
An end and a start
Take a chance...
Flowers wait til night is done
Then seek rays from the sun
Like petals that unfold
Our story will be told
Take a chance...

Bermuda Triangle Breakdown
It was on the first of May, yes it was such a fine day [E D]
That I set sail from Miami, FLA [E D E]
My sweet Jenny she went, too, thought it a good thing to do [E D]
To sail with me and my Irish setter Blue [E D E]
We were barely under way when the ocean turned to gray
And I knew this wasn't gonna be one of my better days
When the daytime lost its light we knew something wasn't right
As we sailed upon a terrifying sight
Bigger than a football field, circling round like nothing real
With lightning strikes and thunder clapping peals
Waves crashed on the deck, Jenny wrapped her arms around my neck
When said and done, the best I could expect.
CHORUS
Sailing the Atlantic when the wind began to roar [A E]
Sun turned black, the sea and sky were gray [G D]
Compass pointed up, I's going down, but I don't know [F C]
Might have been that I had lost my way-ay[E D A]
Up turned left, down turned right, and my hair stood up in fright
My Irish setter Blue turned pearly white
And it didn't take me long to see something else was wrong
My sweet Jenny was there then she was gone
Now I sail the ocean blue, 'cause there's nothing left to do
But find the door my Jenny disappeared through
CHORUS
One night homeward bound, ran my ship on a beach I found
Near a cemetery's sacred hallowed ground
I found my Jenny there, hair of gold and skin so fair
Sobbing loudly, sitting on the ground still bare
As I approached the stone, I grew chilled to the bone
The name engraved on the marker was my own

Waiting for the morning
Talk of evening's setting sun is still aglow
Remembering the reason
For the pleasing memories we are to know
Fog surrounds the tower
Rising from the riverbanks where lovers stroll
Champagne powered dancers
Taking chances on a heart to pay the toll

Dreams that carry us away
Time can move so slowly waiting for you
Yet so quickly when you're near
Feels like weeks you've been gone
Only seconds ever pass when you are here
Never will forget
Forever every touch and word stays in my mind
The way your hair flows freely
Like the seconds of some sweet unspoken time
REFRAIN
INSTRUMENTAL OVER VERSE CHORDS
Waiting for the morning
Talk of evening's setting sun is still aglow
Remembering the reason
For the pleasing memories we are to know

I Learned It From You
Lynn Perdzock
[Bb] Tonight you're on the highway [Eb] far from [Bb] home
I sit and wait all [F] alone
This [Bb] wasn't what you promised, the [Eb] vows you [Bb] read
On the altar these [C] were the words you [F] said
You [Eb] said we'd have a house you said we'd have a home
(II: You said you'd quit the road, you said you'd quit the road)
You [Bb] said we'd be together I'd never be alone
[Eb] You said you'd quit traveling, you'd quit wandering too
I didn't [Gm] know the difference now I [F] do
I learned it from [Eb] you
You said you'd quit the road, you said you'd quit the road
'Cept all you know is long-haul loads
When I call the motels, I can't get through
Next day you say you're alone and blue
Chorus
Solo
Chorus II
[Cm] One day I got into my car, [Eb] soon I learned the [Bb] truth
You've got a [Cm] gal in every city,
[Eb] you're not alone or [Bb] blue
And [Dm] tonight when you called me
I did not pick up the [F] phone
For [Cm] though I was at home, [Eb] I was not [Bb]alone
Chorus

Intro G riffs
[C9] Been thinkin' 'bout changing my Facebook status
Wonder how that'll make people look at us [G riff]
[C9] All the assumptions they'd arrive at
Pretty soon nothing we did would remain private [G riff]
CHORUS
[Eb]Gotta let everybody know sooner or [Bb] later
[Eb] Don't need help to spell it out
Don't [D9] need a word gener [D#9] ator
Just log me [G] on, privacy gone
Learning me some Facebook psychobabble
Finding me a double triple score in Scrabble
Taking time to wash my online Coupe de Ville
Should I ought to water crops in Farmville?
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL STUFF [C9 C#9 G riffs G9 G riffs] 2x
[Eb Bb Eb Gdim7 Bbdim7 C#dim7 Edim7] intro
It's a time suck but it's kind of fun
Once you start you're never done
Kiss my apps I'm cyberstalked
Which one of my so-called friends do I have to block?

You Would Be Mine
If I could write you a song [D A]
Turn you into a melody [C G]
Something to take along
Make you part of the heart of me
You would be mine, you would be mine [A G D]
You would be mine, you would be mine
If I could fall in your dream
Throw some gold in your wishing well
Oh the songs we could sing
Every rhyme all in time to tell
Chorus
Repeat 1 and 2 over CGDA chord structure

If I could watch you grow old
Sit with you in our rocking chairs
When all our stories are told
Shine a light in the midnight air

Harmony Motel
We met at the Harmony Motel
One look and I fell under your spell
You said I had great legs when I served you grits and eggs
When we met at the Harmony Motel
You said you were tired of the road
Didn't care to ever haul another load
You were easy to persuade instead of passing through you stayed
You said you were tired of the road
CHORUS
Neath the flashing neon lights of the highway sign
Twenty bucks a night, a week for 99
You got down on your knees, said you'd take me for your wife
Neath the flashing neon lights of the highway sign
Down the road at Shawnee Lake
The fish jumped right onto the dinner plate
We laid by the water, didn't know we made a daughter
Down the road at Shawnee Lake
I thought you were happy all along
Now I've been left to wonder what went wrong
I begged you to stay, but you drove away
I thought you were happy all along
CHORUS
I sit on the porch most every night
Watching for your rig to come in sight
I named our daughter Ann, you know she's your biggest fan
And we watch for your rig most every night
So won't you come back to the Harmony Motel
I'll remind you of that loving way we fell
We can stay or we can go, we can make it babe, I know
If you come back to the Harmony Motel
OUTRO
Come get us at the Harmony Motel
We're waiting at the Harmony Motel
