Verse: E A Am E
When you’re young, love gets sold
Never know why, it goes cold

I don’t dance for a circus
You may think I been trained
You move under the surface
Won’t you show them your face? (B7)
You’re Wasting my days

Years all gone, bad memories stay
Use the pain, games you play

I don’t dance for a circus
If I don’t think I’ll get paid
Move alone with a purpose
Throwing shade at the game (B7)
You’re Wasting mad days (E A Am E A)

Chorus: D G A (A7) D 

I don’t know, If I should play
All these years, I been wasting days B7 You’re wasting mad days

E A Am E

Well at first IT plays like love
Warm like love BUT not enough

Don’t dance for a circus
I don’t think you’ll get paid
Move alone with a purpose
Throw some shade at the game (B7)
Stop Wasting mad days (A)

Chorus: D G A (A7) D 

I don’t know, If I should play
All these years, I been wasting days
Do you know the games u play?
All these years, wasting days B7 You’re wasting mad days

E A Am E B7
Your wasting mad days

C Em F G Am Am7 F
Christmas is coming, all the shops have got their, decorations up
We all know its coming, for we can feel it in, feel it in the air
Dm G Em F C F C
But something down there deep inside, fills my heart with tears
Though my eyes refuse to cry, a river flows inside (but) my eyes run dry

C Em F G Am Am7 F
Cos I can remember all the tears we shared, just wishing you alive
‘Time is a healer’ they said eventually we’d, get over you in time?
Dm G Em F C F C
But we were left to wonder why with all the dreams we dreamed
and all the prayers we prayed,
We couldn’t make you stay (I just wanted to make you stay one day)
C F C F
We couldn’t make you breathe (I just wanted to make you breathe one breath)
We couldn’t make you see (I just wanted to see your eyes)
We couldn’t make you live…

F G C E7 F G C
Where are you now?
We were left here just to wonder where you are
Where are you now my boy?

F G C E7 F G C
I just want you to know, you will always be remembered every day
Wish you were here with us
F G C E7 F G C
Where are you now?
We were left here just to wonder where you are
Where are you now my boy?

Laura was away at her Mum and Dad’s house and I was home alone with my thoughts.

This was my emotional vent.

Verse: C Am F G, C Am F G

Pre Chorus: Dm G C Am, F F G G7

Chorus: C F C F C F C F C

Intro: C Am F G

V1
Way back, way back when I was younger
I found a friend in music, escaping from the dark
And I knew, big chance I wouldn’t make it
Left alone well maybe, I could leave a mark

Pre chorus:
One thing I learned, we owe it to ourselves
And you deserve it, be happy
No matter who you are, (then you’ll feel)

Chorus
It’s happening,
it’s finally coming true
See It’s happening,
it’s finally coming true
It’s finally coming true

V2
People, told me ‘stop my dreaming’ they ‘ad me near believing
This dream could never be, not for me
But I knew, I ‘ad to keep it going, now faith is slowly growing
I know I’ll soon be free, (soon be free)

Pre chorus:
One thing I learned, we owe it to ourselves
And you deserve it, be happy
No matter who you are, (then you’ll feel)

Chorus
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
See It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s finally coming true

Bridge: (Quiet arrangement)
Now if we just try harder, (try so hard) in everything we do
Keep rolling like the ocean and let them all be blue
We walk alone in bad times, until the sun shines through
Believe it with a conviction – some of them dreams come true

Pre chorus:
One thing I learned OH just do it for yourself
For you deserve it, be happy
No matter who you are, who you are OH

Chorus
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true

Badly sung lyric laydown:

Intro: E C E C

Verse 1: E C A Am
I’m making some headway, still can’t believe what I’ve seen
This mental health population – emptiness in a grin
Now they tell a good story, I’m sure they doing well
But is this life a stage show, or a living hell?

Pre chorus:
G C Am D (E)
So go on go pretend, if that’s what gets you through the day
A little bit of crazy keeps you sane (D) __________ (E)…

Verse 2:
But what about your game? is it just like mine?
Are you mentally healthy, or in steep decline?
Mother’s true little helper, a little yellow pill
Anti-depressant comfort, drop a few for the chill

Pre chorus: G C Am D (E)

So go on go pretend, if that’s what gets you through the day
A little bit of crazy keeps you sane (D) It’s all a game (E)…

Verse 3:
Daddy’s ducking and diving, hustles every day
Mummy’s scared of the guvnor, send the kids off to play
So then the green goes white and… and then the lights burn blue
Shoulda stuck with the boozing, a bit of bird for you

Full Chorus: G C Am D
So go on, go pretend, if that’s what gets you through the day
A little bit a crazy keeps you sane (low) It’s all a game
So go on, go pretend, cos that’s what gets us through today
A little bit a crazy keeps me sane (high) It’s all a game

Verse 4: (Quiet)
You’re socially locked in. Don’t go outside.
Get your likes on fakebook, validate your life
So show us your new kit, go on, what’d you buy?
Now post your BS lifestyle, and you believe the lies

Full Chorus x 2
G C Am D

Ending:
A little bit of crazy keeps you sane (D)
You’re the game (E)…
