Bb C F I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you F A Dm Now I don’t care, I could go anywhere with you G7 C C7 And I’d probably be happy” F C Dm So if you want to be with me Bb C With these things there’s no telling F C Dm We’ll just have to wait and see Gm But I’d rather be working for a paycheck F Asus4 Dm Than waiting to win the lottery Gm Besides, maybe this time is different, I mean F Asus4 Dm Gmadd9 Bbm I really think you like me F F

Stay Awake Julia Nunes

A7 D It’s like I don’t have the patience, G  Or the will power to separate myself D  From this inundating era I’ve been dealt  A  And all across the nation D G  Pixelated screens light up the night A7 D  Of insomniacs and night owls alike   A7 Em But we can turn off the lights A The sun’s coming up  G A No dreams tonight to interrupt E G A  Turn off the alarm before it sounds Em G And get out of bed without putting your head Em A D down, down   A7 D I’ve been closing my eyes real tight G But the space between my lids betrays the light A7 D So I’m up again, I lost the will to fight   D The scrolling information   G Pulls me in and holds me in a trance  A7 D Link to link, no I don’t stand a chance

A7 Em But we can turn off the lights... G D  Stay awake with me G D In the darkness you will see G D Em A D  What I’ve known all along, all along along   A D Baby when you’re sleeping Em I wonder if you see me in your dreams A7 D  Do you know exactly what it means   D Maybe we are falling G And when I hit the ground I disappear A7 D  But you open up your eyes and I’m still here   A7 Em But we can turn off the lights... Em A Em A Em A D Down, down, down

The Debt Julia Nunes

A D A D A Well, I bet you thought that D I forgot about our deal A But I am a man of my words, though they be strange and absurd D I’m just trying to keep it real A And I know I lost the bet, but I haven’t lost you yet D And if drinking lemonade for the rest of my days G E Would save you, you know I would do... it A D A D A Remember Regina and Sarah and cereal bowls? D And wearing our hats, even when it’s not cold? A I’ll never relate to your city peeps D ‘Cause I do most of my thuggin’ on suburban streets G E A I get terrified, but I’m fine... when I’m with you

A D A D G D You should know that I love it when you sing G But I’d love it even more D if you’d stop hitting things G D A Regardless, I’d be heartless... without you A D A D A Well, I haven’t yelled at someone in a pretty long time D And the last time that I did, I regretted it A I can’t wait ‘till senior year, D when I will live in constant fear A ‘Cause you’ll act like a zombie, and slobber all on me D You know that I hate it, but I wouldn’t trade it G E A For any asshole you don’t... like D Yeah, you’re stuck with me G E A D A D For the rest of our afterlives

F#m A I am cold unfeeling and odd E and you should thank god F G A That we are on separate sides of the state. E Hope you’re okay F At least I gave you something to hate

A F#m D E I am frantically flailing, woozy inhaling A F#m D E these fumes that don’t put me to sleep. A F#m Taking drugs that wont cure me, D E so I’ll just stay pure please A F#m D E relinquish those secrets you keep F#m A I am cold unfeeling and odd E and you should thank god F G A That we are on separate sides of the state. E Hope you’re okay F At least I gave you something to hate

Maybe I Will Julia Nunes

D This bed is A C G so hot, I cannot get the covers off. D A They stick to me like leather seats C G in cars at eighty-thousand degrees.

C A But I don’t know what I C A was expecting to find. C A Am I losing my mind, CG D or just biding my time?

Em A D ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh! G Did you leave somethin’ behind? Em A D ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh! G It looked like nothin’ at the time. Em A D ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh! G Now you fear that it’s too late. Em A D ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhh!

D A C G Maybe I won’t. D A C G Maybe I will. D A C G Maybe I won’t. D A C G Maybe I will.

MyHope

Molly Lewis (sweetafton23) G B7 Em C-D-G G B7 The years are going by so fast, Em G7 it really is bewilderin’ C Cm And we’ll be so-called “grown ups” G D and have mortgages and children G B7 I hope we all gain worldliness, Em G7 and wisdom, and maturity C Cm But I hope most of all that G D MySpace falls into obscurity G B7 I hope our profiles all go dead, Em G7 entombed in distant servers C Cm A monument to our youth, G D although lacking its observers G B7 Your page will be an empty shell, Em G7 when no one is behind it C Cm I hope your MySpace stays forever...

CHORUS G-B7-Em-G7 C Cm D Cdim Em I hope your cynical kids say, G “Holy crap, this is great A These comments date Am D all the way back to 2008.” Em I hope they dig through your pictures G And find some we might call compromising A I hope that seeing young Mom in a swimsuit Am D Or smoking a hookah isn’t too traumatizing C G But it will be past their comprehension B7 They’ll ask “Did Grandpa C Cm not give you enough attention?” G A C Cm G-B7-Em A Cm G A C Cm G-B7-Em A C-G

G How I hope that you

A forget about your MySpace C Cm I hope it slips completely from your mind G B7 Em And I hope it stays up long enough A Cm for the next generation to find G A And I hope that it will humble you forever C Cm I hope your kids will never let you live it down G B7 Em And I hope that you forget your password A C G So you cannot take it down G B7 Em G7 C Cm G D G B7 They might poke at your top 8 friends, Em G7 read your comments at the most C Cm I only wish that they could see D G the inane bulletins you post

Cm But looking back now, D# A# F G# Fm When I met you, I thought you were really smart it all makes sense at the end Cm G# And even more so when we started going out D# D# Baug You’re sometimes vague, It was your intellect that really won my heart A# G# and you’re often inconsistent There was just so much stuff Cm G# Fm G# You’ve no opinions, you never take a stance you knew so much about D# You’re so dispassionate, D# A# Baug I was hungry for knowledge, and I was single you always sound so distant Cm G# G# Fm G# I didn’t want to date and I really hadn’t planned to And I tell you, you know zilch about romance D# But you were cool and you were smart D# A# Baug And not once did you ever say you love me and you were multilingual Cm You sent no flowers, G# Fm G# G# And I felt like I could really understand you you NEVER called me “honey” Cm G# D# Baug But then, it went downhill And you always talked as if you were above me D# G# G# Fm G# and we’ll never get back to our better days And it felt like you were always needing money Cm G# I’m done, I’ve had my thrill Cm G# D# A# G# Sometimes you generalize, and I think we ought to go our separate ways D# G# And on better days your tone is condescending Fm D# A# Cm Cm G# But it isn’t you, it’s me And when we talk books or films G# D# A# Cm G# D# G# I guess we just weren’t meant to be You ALWAYS find a way spoil the ending D# I thought we were inseparable, Baug I thought you were my friend 32

Fm D# A# Cm Fm G# But it isn’t you, it’s me I don’t think that you know either G# D# A# Cm G# D# I need someone more scholarly You have no real facts, D# A# I thought you had the answers, your knowledge is all hearsay Baug Cm G# but your smarts are all pretend And I’m tired of playing all your stupid games Cm F G# Fm D# And my attraction only makes sense at the end You don’t keep pictures of me, Baug D# A# Cm and you don’t know my birthday You just believe everything you’re ever told G# Fm G# D# I don’t think that you even know my name You never question, Cm G# G B#m Cm You keep tabs on other girls I’m pretty sure you don’t fact check D# G# D# F But I notice there’s no article for me When someone puts ideas into your head Cm G# G# Fm You’re known by all the world You never blink, you immediately buy it D# A# G# D# Cm G So I guess I’m just a droplet in the sea I won’t say that you have no integrity... F Fm Fm D# A# Cm - but I might imply it But it isn’t you, it’s me G# D# A# Cm G# D# A# Cm G# D# Baug G# Fm G# I owe you no apology D# D# A# I know not to judge my company It turns out you’re not the guy I thought I knew Baug Cm G# just based upon its looks and I think we need to stop and take a breather Cm D# Baug I’m too grown-up for your articles, I never know if what you’re saying’s really true G# F G# it’s time that I read books and frankly, sometimes

Ukulele Scales

(for improvisation and accompanying songs) The scales pattern for the ukulele is as follows:

The following tab: A -------------------------------------1----3----3---------E -----------------1----2------4---------------------------C -----1----3----------------------------------------------G -----------------------------------------------------------

or in tab mode:

illustrates the C# major scale. If we look at the note chart at the bottom of the page, we can see A -------------------------------------0----2----3---------- that the root note, which is on the first fret of E -----------------0----1------3---------------------------- the 3rd string, is a C#. C -----0----2----------------------------------------------G ----------------------------------------------------------- Thus, to play a D major scale, all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to do is move the progression one fret to the right, or the scale pictured above is the C major scale. We increase every number in the tab by one. know this because the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;root noteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the first note Songs in the key E should be accompanied by played is a C. And so, if we see the following: notes in the scale of E, which, using the chart at the bottom of the page, we know has a root note on the 4th fret of the C string. Use the chart to quickly figure out the scale in case you need to harmonise to a song. we should know it is the E major scale, as its root note, on the 4th fret of the 3rd string is an E.
