[Verse 1]
G
Life isn't quite what I thought I'd be
G7
When I was a kid on VoIP
Em                          C
I thought when I get older, I'd marry her
Cm
I told her
G
Now I'm 26 and I work in an office
G7
9 'til 5's not the best, I'll be honest
Em
If I could change a single thing
C           Cm
I'd make it me and not him

Harmonies and octave

Text

Harmony

From the Latin harmonia meaning joining, concord, and from the Greek harmos meaning joint.

The combination of three or more sounds in a manner that produces a musically consistent, agreeable, pleasing whole.

Harmony, associations: Accompaniment, chords, triads, seventh chords, chorale style

Octaves

Many musical scales in the West use eight notes. The distance between the first and eighth note is called an octave. This octave distance can be broken down into 12 semitones (on a guitar, each fret is one semitone.) ... Also: playing any note an octave higher will double it's frequency vibration rate.

"Last Christmas"

Hawk Nelson

C
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
         Am
But the very next day, you gave it away
      Dm
But this year to save me from tears
      G
I'll give it to someone special
C
  Once bitten and twice shy
Am
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Dm
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
G
Well, It's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

C
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
Am
With a note saying "I love you", and meant it
Dm
Now I know what a fool I've been
            G
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

          G                    Am   Am                      F
Got in my car and raced like a jet, all the way to you

Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
   Am                   F

'Cause I need to know

You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die

Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is no!

Don't you know I'm human too?
              G            C
why you gotta be so rude?

I'm gonna marry her anyway
F
marry that girl
G
marry her anyway
C

"Boston" by Augustana

Verse 1:

C (2)     C/B  (2)     Am (4) F (2)      C (2)

   In the light of the sun, is there anyone?

    F  (2)       G (2)

   Oh it has begun

C       C/B            Am    F                C

   Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,

        F                 G

   This world you must've crossed, you said


Chorus:

C  (4)              G  (4)         F  (4)     G (4)

You don't know me, you don't even care - oh yeah

C                  G                 F          G

You don't know me, you don't wear my chains - oh yeah


C C/B | Am | F C | F G


Verse 2:

C      C/B          Am     F              C

   Essential and appealed, carry all your thoughts

    F             G

   Across an open field,

C       C/B             Am            F            C

   When flowers gaze at you, they're not the only ones

       F              G

   Who cry when they see you, you said


(chorus)

Bridge/outro:

                             C                            G

She said I think I'll go to Boston, I think I'll start a new life,

                      F                           G

I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,

                      C                      G

I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,

                   F                       G

I think I'll get a lover and fly him out to Spain

                            C                              G

Oh yeah I think I'll go to Boston, I think that I'm just tired

                  F                            G

I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind

                   C                       G

I think I need a sunrise; I'm tired of the sunset,

                         F                         G

I hear it's nice in the summer; some snow would be nice

C                  G              F           G

You don't know me, you don't even care - oh yeah
