UVALDE
A Dm Dm A
Allison's girl was shot today. She was only ten years old.
Dm A
We still see her laugh and play
E E sus E7
but angry bullets from a heart grown cold took Allison's girl away
A Dm
Jose's's father is weeping tonight
Dm A
His tears are falling on his son's wrinkled photograph
Dm A
he's calling out loud for his dead little boy
E
who was shot with nineteen other kids
E7
and two women of the teaqchers staff
Em
Don't give me your thoughts
A
Don't give me your prayers
Em
It ain't up to the Lord,
A
It is all on the slayers
Am Em
As long as guns can be bought at the store
D Em
prayers don't bring back lives any more
A Dm A
Just an ordinary day, just an ordinary elementary school
Dm A
In the classroom see the children laugh and play
E
when an angry young man began to shoot
E7
taking innocent lives away
Em
Don't give me your thoughts
A
Don't give me your prayers
Em
It ain't up to the Lord,
A
No, it's all on the slayers
Am Em
Thoughts and prayers don't mean a thing
D Em
when you're forced to start remembering
SOLO: Bm E Bm E / A B C#
A Dm A
330 million people and 460 million guns
Dm A
it is an American insanity
E E7
when owning guns is more protected than the lives of kids and mums
Em
Don't give me your thoughts
A
and don't give me your prayers
Em
It ain't up to the Lord,
A
It is all on the slayers
Am Em
Thoughts and prayers don't mean a thing
D Em
when you're forced to start remembering
Em
Don't give me your guns
A
Don't give me your reasons
Em
Or your daughters and sons
A
will be shot and stop breathing
Am Em
Do away with your stupid right
D Em
So that we all at last can sleep at night
Am Em
Do away with your stupid right
D Em
So that we all at last can sleep at night

CATS AND DOGS IN MY HEART
Bm F#m
Some folks like dogs, some folks like cats
C#7 F#m F#
some folks opt for snakes as their favorite pets
Bm F#m
so you are my hummingbird, we are birds of a feather
C#7 Bm C#7 F#m F#
but things can get bitter. when it comes down to bad weather
A C#m G Bm E E7 A
It feels like every time that we are apart, It is raining cats and dogs in my heart
2
Bm F#m C#7 F#m F#
Some cats are big, some dogs are small. No matter what I like them all
Bm F#m
so you are my kitty cat. I'm your bearded collie.
C#7 Bm C#7 F#m F#
But things do get darker. when it's pouring it's not quite so jolly
A C#m G Bm E E7 A
It feels like every time that we are apart, It is raining cats and dogs in my heart
Bm G A D
I don't worry about the clouds in the sky. I don't mind a thundershower
Dm A B7 E E7
but when it comes to not being with you, I'm so afraid of losing power
Bm F#m C#7 F#m F#
I love my cat, I love my snake. I like my dog when she gives me a break
Bm F#m
so I don't mind animals as long as they're quiet
C#7 Bm C#7 F#m F#
but things are quite different whenever I live on emotional diet.
A C#m G Bm E E7 A
It feels like every time that we are apart, It is raining cats and dogs in my heart

Broken Glass

BROKEN GLASS
I see you bleeding in the middle of the night
I hear you pleading on your knees to stop the fight
but we both know what it takes to make things right
You hear me screaming as the walls come tumbling down
We keep on dreaming hoping we are safe and sound
but we both know what it takes to stick around
When things are cracked up all we hold inside our hands is broken glass
Silver chalice, shiny sparkles at the start
shattered crystal, scattered jewels on the floor
pallid pieces , dirty diamonds in the dark
are reflections of a love you and I can take no more
We hit each other in the middle of the day
when we both know that neither one of us will stay
You keep on calling me from your insane device
I keep on falling for your mortuary lies
yet we both know
we still have to pay the price
When things are cracked up all we feel inside our hearts is broken glass
Silver chalice, shiny sparkles at the start
scattered splinters, shattered crystal in the end
Blind reflection, dirty diamonds in the dark
lie in pieces on the floor of a love that wasn't meant

MY BABY LEFT ME
Am C D E7
If you hear me crying it's 'cause I lost my baby today
Am C D E7
If you see me dying it's 'cause I feel bad
Am C
Well if you'd seen my baby like I saw her today
D E7
You wouldn't ask so many questions, you'd step out of my way
Am C D Am
because I lost my baby and I am mad
Am C D E7
If you hear me whining it's because my baby is gone
Am C D E7
There's no silver lining as my baby won't return
Am C
I saw my baby kissing with another cool cat
D E7
so don't you ask no questions why I'm feeling so bad
Am C D Am
because I lost my baby and I burn
Dm Am
my baby was the one that I loved so bad
Dm Am
I always thought that our loving was the best to be had
Dm Am
I was so sure that our love was to stay
E E7
but now she left and I am feeling this way

SAIL ON
Am Em
In the middle of the storm when the waves are towering high
G Am
and you're sure that you're fixing to drown
Am Em
When the waters rise up and you feel like there's nowhere to go
G Am
and all the powers of hell are dragging you down
F G Am F G Am
Sail on, sail on
F G E Am G
though the future looks grim and all your hope has gone
F G Am
Sail on
Am Em
When the night is dark and the clouds blot out the stars
G Am
and you feel like you're losing your way
Am Em
when the waves of fate come down crushing over your head
G Am
Keep on steering your ship till the break of day
F G Am F G Am
And sail on, sail on
F G E Am G
Don't forget that the darkest hour is just before the dawn
F G E
so sail on
