Somewhere in the Tide
Key: G
Progression: 6-4-5-1, 4-5
Verse 1 (Em, C, G, D)
All the colors in the valley touch the Shenandoah sky
An exhibition in a gallery that is massive and divine
We are tall and we are rooted like the appalachian trees
But like the river we are powered by the pull of mighty seas
Pre-chorus (C D)
The waves are being lifted and the sand is being sifted
For a treasure that is waiting to be found
Chorus (Em, C, G, D)
If dreams are somewhere in the distance
Love is somewhere within reach
Someday we’ll be the lesson that somebody else will teach
If there’s someone on the mountain top
Somehow we’ll make the climb
If there’s something in the water
Then I’m somewhere in the tide
Verse 2 (Em, C, G, D)
All the footprints in the shore line are a story to be heard
Every grain and every gravel could account for every word
In a land that is for lovers there is room for every kind
Every voice, every heart, every soul and every mind
Pre-chorus (C-D)
The waves are being lifted and the sand is being sifted
For a treasure that is waiting to be found
Chorus (Em, C, G, D)
Bridge (C-D)
What is happening? Can you feel the gravity?
A rising tide is lifting all the boats

I Will Survive
For reference
Em Am D G C A(?) B (Repeat)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinking I could live without you by my side
And after spending nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
Now you're back
From outer space
And I find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should've changed that stupid lock
Or made you leave your key
If I'd've known for a second
You'd be back to bother me
Go on, go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live
And all my love to give and
I will survive
I, I, I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself
How I cried
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that lonely little person
Still in love with you
Now you come droppin' in
Expectin' me to be free
Now I'm saving my lovin'
For someone who's loving me
Go on and go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Thinkin' I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live, and all my love to give
And I will survive
I, I will survive
Small Town Boy
Verse 1 (G D Em C)
Let me guess
You’re at the bar with your boys
Taking shots and making noise
Just to get the girl to notice
Let me guess
You’ll take her home in your new truck
Try your hand and push your luck
On a love already hopeless
Pre-Chorus (AM D)
That day you told me
That I’d know where to find you
If I’m ever lonely
But here’s the truth
Chorus
(G D Em C)
I’ve been making friends in Dublin
In a castle by a stream
I put my roots down in Yokosuka
Where I learned some Japanese
And I’d been living life in Lagos
And soaking up the sun in St. Croix
I will gladly take the rest of the world
You can have your small town, boy
Verse 2 (G D Em C)
Let me guess
You’re underneath neon lights
And she’s holding you too tight
Like your hand around that bottle
Let me guess
You’re on the porch in your Levi jeans
On the day she ups and leaves you
And the dog in her Silverado
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge (Am D)
And I bet you’re at your mom’s house
To deny how much you blew it
She’s telling you how good you had it
And it’s a shame you never knew it
And then you’ll go to church on Sunday
Ugly crying to the Savior
While I’ll be finding God
In the hearts of my global neighbors
Chorus
(G D Em C)
I’ll be making friends in Dublin
In a castle by a stream
I’ll put my roots down in Yokosuka
Where I’ll learn some Japanese
I’ll be living life in Lagos
And soaking up the sun in St. Croix
I’ll be chatting in a cafe in Cambodia
Shopping sprees in South Korea
Where I’ll fall in love
With a man who understands me
Comforts me and brings me joy
I’ll gladly take the rest of the world
You can have your small town, boy
Verse 3 (G D Em C)
Let me guess
You’ve been staring at your phone
Contemplating how to reach me
Cause that number doesn’t work anymore
I Will Always Love You
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bittersweet memories
That's all I'm taking with me
Goodbye, please don't cry
We both know that I'm not what you need
But I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all of this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

He Can't Dance
Verse 1 (G D C)
We’re done with dinner, I’m in the kitchen
Getting myself a cold one
We play some music, I get into it
Oh yeah, that song’s a good one
So, I start moving, my little two-step
I got my drink I’m feeling fine
He comes behind me, a little clumsy
But his two step falls in line, and I smile because
Chorus (G D C-D)
He can’t dance but he’s a real man
And he gon’ do what he gotta do
To make me smile, to make it count
To bring me every star and moon

With all the fancy moves
(Am D G)
No, He can’t dance but holding me will do
Verse 2 (G D C)
We took the babies to the bay
For some good ol’ family fun
They’re playing music, we get into it

Daddy’s silly but he’s willing
To show his babies happy love
Chorus

Oh, one step, two step, round and round we go
How much he loves me, Lord I know

Never in a million years could I ever dream
I’d meet you in a cafe overseas
You overcome your fears
I’m not as stuck up as I seem
And so you leave a note with our friend Mindy
Underway for thirty days
We keep in touch to close the distance
Trying to remember what you look like
No one else is in the room
As you walk in your navy dress blues
Trying to control these butterflies
Tonight
Dark and handsome 6 foot 5
My heart can not believe it’s eyes
There’s nothing like a man in a uniform
There is no one like my boyfriend…
In his uniform
Verse 3
Nine months in making, how I’m anticipating
My baby boy I know you’ll be here soon
You will join your sister, my miss and little mister
Two flowers that I’ll cultivate to bloom
Chubby cheeks and big brown eyes
A smile that keeps me in your pocket
There’s no telling what the future holds
But I hope it’s filled with joy
And blessings for you my baby boy
I hope you reap the good things that we've sown
Tomorrow

Verse 1
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
So, he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Chorus
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Verse 2
Little precious has a natural obsession for temptation
But he just can't see
She give him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me
Chorus
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

She goes up to the attic and to her surprise
All her hopes and her dreams had survived all this time

Fm Ab Eb
Her spirit is new and clear like the sky after rain
