Zig Zag
C G Am F
I’ve got to zig zag like I’m drunk like I’m crazy
as I walk through the mazy of these city streets
And there are faces, some are clean, some are dirty,
some are young, cute and flirty. That I want to meet.
It is so sad when my day has no flavor
Like a spice I should savor, but I only eat
Still I walk on, feeling so uninspired
Like my feet have retired and they’d rather sleep.
Pre-chorus: G F
Oh My, It’s getting way too clear
I must get out of here
Chorus: F G C
And start a brand new day
A little less lazy
New Day… a lot more crazy
When the morning sun, shines my way
I’m going to wake to find, I’m one of a kind
And say, I’ve got a brand new day
Verse 2:
I’ve been so down talking down in the gutter
Though my heart’s all a flutter, stuck up in a tree
How it got there, well I can’t quite remember
But the fire’s now an ember, there’s not much to see
I march on like a horse wearing blinders
‘cause I don’t want reminders of what used to be
I question every step I am taking
Since my ground has been shakin’ and it’s warning me
Pre-chorus: G F
Oh My, It’s getting way too dark
I need to find my spark
Chorus
Bridge:
G E7 Am F / G E F G
There’s a shiver of sharks swimming up my spine
No wonder I’m not walking in one straight line
Have I been doing it wrong all this time
I think I better change my mind
And start a brand new
(Drum solo)
Chorus:
And start a brand new day
New day, new day, new day
Start a brand new day
A little less lazy
New day
A lot more crazy
When the morning sun shines my way
I’m going to wake up to find I’m one of a kind and say
I’ve got a brand new day.

Fairy Tale
Jane was just relaxing high up in a tree
When Tarzan he swung over and said “Babe, I have to leave”
The berries have been eaten and our river’s running dry
So we need to find a new place to reside
I’ll be back within a fortnight; it’s dangerous out there
So I don’t want you to join me, I want you to stay here
Well, she smiled at him sweetly as if everything were fine
And then she packed up her things and grabbed a vine and said…
Pre-chorus:
If you go I go. If you fall I fall
Chorus:
If you go I go, If you fall I fall,
‘Cause every day with you, is a fairytale come true.
Jack and Jill were climbing up a hill one day
Just to fetch a pail of water and to then be on their way
Jack fell down and broke his crown and that left poor Jill
But she soon was tumbling down that very hill singing ….
Pre-chorus:
If you go I go. If you fall I fall
Chorus:
If you go I go, If you fall I fall,
‘Cause every day with you, is a fairytale come true.
Bridge:
Just like a nursery rhyme
We start with once upon a time
As the pages turn, the villains fall and we live happily ever after afterall.
V3:
I know I’m not a princess, nor will I ever be
I know this love’s not perfect, but it’s the love for me
So I’ll treasure every day I have and pray for one day more
‘Cause you’re the one that I adore
Chorus

Nothing
Celia Rose 2005 (and Olivia Wik, 2014)
V1: B / E / F#
I wake up to a new day, a hundred thousand more heartbeats
Struggle in the fight against the comfort of my sheets
Well I feel nothing in the air today, it’s neither cool nor warm
I see no trace of my smiling face, it’s the calm before the storm
So I’ll go back to bed, not worry my head for there’s nothing left to do
But smell your skin, watch you grin and snuggle up close to you
For I know nothing’s more frustrating than this nothingness I feel
At least, my dear, I have you near, and that is something real.
Chorus: E / B / F#
Baby you’re the something in my nothing
When I close my eyes and want to hide away
Honey, you’re the something that I hold onto
‘Cause baby, nothing’s better than you.
V2:
It’s easy to feel low in life when there’s no wind in your sail
When it’s all for naught and your dreams get caught
And all your work is to no avail
But it’s not about the riches or being the biggest star
Nothing’s better than someone loving you for who you are.
Chorus
Bridge:
E / B / F# / E / C#m / F#
There are no answers here, yeah that’s for sure
But what I know is when that nothing comes a knockin’ at my door
I won’t be sad, I won’t be scared, oh, I won’t be blue.
As long as I can live out this life with you.
Instrumental: B / E / F#

Pieces of Love
7/19/02
V1
G
When I was young, I wrote a poem about socks
C9 G
One about chocolate, one about pencils, one about clocks
C9 G
And I wrote a poem about cherry trees in the spring
C9 G
And one about pieces of love
Chorus
D C9 G
Pieces of love were everywhere
D C9 G
In nook and cranny, on shelf and stair
D C9 G
As I found each one, I began to see
C9 G D G
That it was you who gave them to me
V2
G
When I started to write my own tune
C9 G
Sitting on the dog house, singing to the moon
C9 G
Sometimes I lay on the drive in the middle of the night
C9 G
And wrote about pieces of love
Chorus
Bridge:
D C G
It was you who read every word
D C G
It was you who listened and heard
Em C D G
If I needed to be alone, you let me be
C G D G
It was you who understood me.
V3
If I wrote a new song and played it for you
You listened with your eyes closed, and didn’t speak ‘til I was through
As my song came to an end
the first thing you said was…ok, now play it again.
Chorus 2x
(The song is based on this poem that I wrote when I was 12)
A place where love is everywhere
In nook and cranny on shelf and stair
There’s laughter on the second floor
A touch of glory by the door
A bit of romance in my parents’ room
A scrap of sorrow where we keep the broom
Gobs of excitement here and there
A pinch of fun by the rocking chair
Chunks of caring wherever you roam
That’s where I live and I call it home

Take Me
V1:
With my eyes of green and your eyes of blue, we could see it so clearly
Oh I knew it then, and you knew it, too. I still love you so dearly
As the days slip by, ‘neath the summer sky I will not sit here lonely
For I know that you, that you miss me, too. That I’m your one and only
Pre-chorus:
Far apart from the start with the crashing waves
Telling us move on
But your voice and your words, let me know, they’re wrong
Chorus:
Take me, take me forever
Our fears will wash out to sea
Take me, take me for always
I will be yours faithfully
Together is where we must be
Take me
V2:
This is hard to do, some don’t make it through
When the waters keep rising
But you’re worth the fight, you’re worth every night
That lies on the horizon.
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
All this time that we have spent apart
You have been here with me in my heart

Frozen town
V1
The night ran away with my heart in its teeth
Now it’s fading like yesterday, with the ghosts of what cannot be
All that we shared lies here in this room.
All that we’ve loved lingers in the air like perfume,
Chorus:
And the night comes and night goes, these open wounds will never close
As it all falls away in this frozen town
V2
All I can see is an empty glass and your empty seat
And all I can hear, is the ice cracking beneath my feet
Chorus:
And the night comes and the night goes, these open wounds will never close
As it all falls away in this frozen town
Bridge:
All… All the statues look down,
All the faces in town, surround
They surround me, surround you, they knew us both as one not two
Now they wonder, where we went wrong
But it’s our choice, it’s our lives, it’s our turn to decide
if it all falls away in this frozen town.
V3
We loved with our hands, but our minds weren’t there
We spoke icy words. They froze in the air.
All I could hear was the snapping of the trees
All I could see was a minefield of memories
Chorus
The night came and the night went, we said things that we never meant
It all fell away in that frozen town.

Ten Thousand More
Verse1
There was a time I thought we’d live forever,
There was a time I thought I could fly
There was a time I thought we’d always be together
But that’s not now
There was a time I skipped instead of walking,
There was a time I floated on clouds
But by the time I knew, there was no time for talking
And that is now.
Pre-chorus
In this dream, no, this nightmare
How can it be so unfair
Love was supposed to see us through
Now the ground is shaking, my heart is aching
And I am missing you.
Chorus
I don’t want one day. I don’t want one night
I want ten thousand more, I want us to be alright
I don’t want one night. I don’t want one day
I want ten thousand more. I want us to be ok.
Verse2:
There was a time I entered every room wearing my heart on my sleeve
There was a time I looked into your eyes and totally believed
There was a time my heart controlled my mind, but I really didn’t care
I’ve put up a wall so I don’t feel it all ’cause it’s more than I can bear

The Other Side
Verse 1:
My hands are cold, my grip is failing
Too much longer and I will fall
Ice is here and I am losing
Pressed against this rocky wall
Verse 2:
Do you recall that golden ribbon
It caught the wind and flew out to sea
We imagined us upon it
Flying high and flying free
Chorus:
Are you coming now to save me
Or do I have to save myself
You’re my eyes when I can’t see
You’re the other side of me
You’re the other side of me…. the other side
Verse 3:
I have always been your lookout
You took my hand and we made it through
Now I’m stumbling through the darkness
Wondering, just where are you
Chorus
Bridge:
Ohhhhhhhhhh. Some pain heals and is forgotten
While some pain leaves a scar
Youuuuuuuuuuuu. You and I can’t be divided
‘Cause no one knows you like I do.
Chorus (2x)

Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
(ending)
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
I am the one who can create
The only one who has control
And if I win, well then I win
If I’m lost, just let me lose
But do not think that I’ll give in
‘Cause that is something I can’t do

Open a Door
V1:
One little girl, just like the others
Studied hard at school each day
Then late at night, she sat on the roof top
Watching the mountains and dreaming away
V2:
Then to her land came the Taliban
They said girls can’t go to school
But this little girl took a microphone
She went and broke their golden rule
pre-chorus:
and spoke out loud
to the crowd
Chorus:
Open a door to a world that you need to know
Open a door to a place where you wish to be
Open a door for the hope in a child’s mind
Open a door for you and me. Open a door.
V3:
15 years old, they tried to kill her
shot in the head on her bus ride home
But no one can kill, no one can stifle
the voice of a girl that strong.
pre-chorus:
not only did she survive
she won the nobel prize
Chorus
Bridge:
When your moment comes will you pull the trigger
a robot caught in a chain of command
or when your moment comes will you be the forgiver
the one to take a stand
pre-chorus:
we all should be
free
Chorus 2x
Open a door and let the others follow you
Open a door, open a door and walk on through
