Lyrics:
You can still come and bring me coffee in the morning.
You know I don't mind.
You could still come and bring me those fancy pastries.
You know I don't mind.
Like A Friend
[F] Don't bother saying you're [Bb] sorry.
Every time I get no further.
You take up my time,
I've done this before.
F (the lead is just variations in the F chord)
You are the last drink I never should drunk.
Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid.

And all the evil things he might say

“No, I don’t care. I mean, hey, I got Kenny…”
--------------------------------------|
4th time:
[Said simultaneously by two different girls]
“There comes a time when you gotta ask yourself: steady or not? I mean, do you really want to be Johnny’s steady? I don’t think that it’ll work, but I honestly believe that one month should mean just a month. Well, first of all, lets see if they didn’t order in with Johnny a few times. I think Johnny had to…”
Three important rules for breaking up: Don’t put off breaking up when you know you want to. Prolonging the situation only makes things worse. Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly. Don’t make a big production. Don’t make up an elaborate story. This will help you avoid a big tear-jerking scene. If you want to date other people, say so. Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected. Even if you’ve gone together for only a short time, and haven’t been too serious, there’s still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the company of others to your exclusive company. But if you’re honest and direct, and avoid making a flowery and emotional speech when you break the news, the boy will respect you for your frankness, and honestly, he’ll appreciate the kind of straight-forward manner in which you told him your decision. Unless he’s a real jerk or a cry-baby, you’ll remain friends.
Chorus 1:
Lead Guitar,
Being attractive is the most important thing there is. If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond, you have to be as attractive as possible. Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean. Wash at least every two weeks, once every two weeks. And if you see Johnny football hero in the hall, tell him he played a great game. Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper.
Chorus 2:
I propose we support a one month limit on going steady. I think it will keep you both more able to deal with weird situations and get to know more people. I think if you’re ready to go out with Johnny, now’s the time to tell him about your one month limit. He won’t mind. He’ll appreciate your fresh outlook on dating. And once you’ve dated someone else, you can date him again. I’m sure he’ll like it. Everyone will apprieciate it. You’re so novel. What a good idea. You can keep your time to yourself. You don’t need dating insurance. You can go out with whoever you want to. Every boy, every boy in the whole world could be yours if you just listen to my plan, “The Teenage Guide to Popularity!”

Superhero
When you grow up, you can be anything in the world you want to be. That's right--a doctor, a lawyer, an astronaut. Even a superhero. Wow. If you could be a superhero, what kind of superhero would you be? Batman, Superman, wonderwoman, for some of you guys up there? Or would you use your imagination and make up one of your own?
[C] If I [G] could be a [Am] superhero
And [F] if I [G] saw criminals [C] trying to lie
C
If I could be a superhero
Well I’d take all the junkies-their getting so high
Whistle
If I could be a superhero
And taking all our wellfair and best jobs to boot
C
If you could be a superhero
Like if a wife left her husband with 3 kids and no job
You could be subtle
Then [F] you would [G] be a [F]super[G]hero[C]...like Me [C] [C/G] [C]

[D] Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [G] cowboys
Don't [A]let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and lawyers and [D] such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [G] cowboys
They'll [A] never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they [D] love
[D] Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to [G] hold
They'd [A] rather give you a song than diamonds or [D] gold
Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's and each night begins a new [G] day
If you [A]don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride [D] away
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
[E] Cowboys like smokey ol' pool rooms and [A]clear mountain mornings
Little [B] warm puppies and children and girls of the [E] night
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes [A] won't know how to take him
He ain't [B] wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
Do the things that make you think he's [E] right
[E] Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [A] cowboys
Don't let them [B] pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make them be doctors and lawyers and [E] such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be [A] cowboys
They'll [B] never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they [E] love

It takes a lot of power
To change your point of view
And I worry every hour
That I'm away from you
It makes me feel unnoticed
Like I was never there
But I'd give all my life savings
To know you ever cared
[F#] Cause you leave me [E]higher
Than [B] I could ever [F#] say
But [E] my heart has been on [F#] fire
And she's gonna [B]find out
Much too [E]late
Too young to have a boyfriend
Too old to be alone
You'll sneak him in your bedroom
When no one else is home
He'll make you feel rewarded
So blessed and self assured
You never had a prom date
Now you know it's secure

You can still come and make me chicken fried steak.
Or you can live your life with whomever you please to,
As long as someone takes good care of me.
How can I live without you,
if it means I gotta get a job?
You can still come and crawl into my bed.
Or you can live your life with whomever you please to,
As long as someone takes good care of me.
How can I live without you
if it means I gotta get a job?

[F] Why don't you come [Bb] in?
[F] Smoke all my [Bb] cigarettes - [C] againe.
How long has it been?
Come on in now,
Wipe your feet on my dreams.
Like some cheap magazine,
When I could have been learning something.
Oh well, you know what I mean.
And I will do it again.
Come on and kill me baby,
while you smile like a friend.
And I'll come running,
Just to do it again.
You are the body hidden in the trunk.
You are the habit I can't seem to kick.
You are my secrets on the front page every week.
You are the car I never should have bought.
You are the train I never should have caught.
You are the cut that makes me hide my face.
You are the party that makes me feel my age.
Like a plane I've been told I never should board.
Like a film that's so bad but I've gotta stay til the end.
Let me tell you now,
It's lucky for you that we're friends.

He only listens when she's about to break down and say
But she's got a lot to learn about herself
She's always blaming her sorrow on someone else
He's always making it a habit of breaking her heart
But she's gonna have to take half the blame
She's always taking his shit, but I swear it's gonna change

[A] And you don't even have to [B] give him a reason [C#m] why
They're gonna stay with you until you're dead
So take advantage of the way he made you feel
You're gonna find your peace of mind
And maybe settle down in a one bedroom apartment
Will come back to him one day
When he least expects it
And then you'll be a million miles away
Miles away

[F] I would be [G] awesome [C] man
I’d fly around the world fighting crime
according to my awesome plan
[F] Hurting other [G] people and [C] making them cry
I’d [F] haul them off to [G] jail in my [C]awe[C/B]some [Am7] van
Cuz [F] I would be [G] awesome [C] man
Now some criminals want you to be a criminal and they offer you stuff like drugs and alcohol. But we know what to do kids. We'd just say "no."
I would be drug-free boy
Telling the world of the evils of drugs
and all of the lies they destroy
With their needles and bongs and their sticks made of Thai
As I burned them alive I would squeal with joy
Because I would be drug-free boy
I’d be immigration dude
I’d send all the foreigners back to their homes
For eating up all of our food
Like landscaping, dishwashing, and picking our fruit
I’d pass a lot of laws to get rid of their brood
Cuz I’d be immigration dude
Now kids, you could make your own superhero. If you could, who would it be?
Would you be justice guy
Make sure people get what they deserve
Especially women who lie
to run off to fucking Hawaii with her doctor named “Bob”
You could skin them and drain them of blood so they die...especially Bob
The you would be justice guy
I didn’t mean to be vague
Give her the mad cow disease, let him die of the plague
As long as they suffer for their terrible lie...especially Bob
Then you would be justice guy

[Cm] god laid me [G#] down into your [D#] rose [A#] garden of trust

[Cm] some helpless [G#] fool, yeah I was [D#] lost [A#] in a swoon of peace
[Cm] you're all I [G#] need to find
[Cm] so when the [G#] time is right
[Cm] come to me [G#] sweetly, come to [D#] me [A#]
come to [F] me
[Cm] love will lead us, [G#] alright
[F] love will lead us, [A#] she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us [Cm]
it's like we never left
time in between was just a dream
did we leave this place?
this crazy fog surrounds me
you wrap your legs around me
all I can do to try and breathe
let me breathe so that I
so we can go together!
love will lead us, she will lead us
can you hear the dolphin's cry?
see the road rise up to meet us
it's in the air we breathe tonight
love will lead us, she will lead us
it don't matter [G#] who you are
if you only run for [F] cover, it's just a waste of time [D#]
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over
over
singin' la da da, da da da
over
come to me
singin' la da da da, da da da
come to me

She says I don’t, I don’t, I don’t need to be an angel
But I’m nothing, I’m not nothing if I’m not this high

And then you’re everybody’s satellite
I wish that you were mine, I wish that you were mine

Sometimes, I feel the fear of,
uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can't help but ask
myself how much I'll let the fear
take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to a faint,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I, am beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there,
with open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there,
I'll be there....
So if I, decide to waiver my,
chance to be one of, the hive.
Will I, choose water over wine
and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way,
that everyone else gets around,
But lately I'm, beginning to find that,
When I drive myself my light is found.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there,
with open arms and open eyes, yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there,
I'll be there....
