TURNS OUT YOUR PERFECT FOR ME Chords: E B A Turns out you're perfect for me In all the silly ways I thought you'd never be Turns out you're perfect for me I wanted a guy covered in tattoos But I learned some of them have mommy issues Turns out you're perfect for me Well I wanted a girl and I got to choose Went all around the country you're the one I couldn't lose Turns out you're perfect for me Chorus Turns out you're perfect for me Cause you scratch my back when it's itchy You're gentle and kind when I'm bitchy Turns out you're perfect for me Chorus Told him that I like Old Spice But he didn't wanna take me old fashioned advice That's before I learned what it could do Now I recommend it to you I didn't think it was punk rock to sing with a girl who had dreadlocks But what did I know.... now she steals the show! Turns out you're perfect for me

Recipe 01:45
RECIPE Chords: D A G When you are trying to cook Sometimes you use a recipe book But theres danger in the air if there's ingredients to spare your common sense has been overtook There's a science to cooking that less of us know If you're not experienced then stick to the show Leavening is tricky, so is substitution My recommendation is lets make a resolution Follow the recipe the first time that you do it, After you do that you can add things to it. Follow the recipe the first time that you do it After some practice there's nothing to it! When you are trying to cook Sometimes you use a recipe book If you don't have what you need Be sure to stop and read You'll find a helpful chart if you look Bananas and Flax meal will substitute eggs Accurate measurements the recipe begs Timing is important, when mixing a solution My recommendation is lets make a resolution Follow the recipe the first time that you do it After you do that you can add things to it Follow the recipe the first time that you do it After some practice there's nothing to it!

Loving You 02:43
LOVING YOU Chords: Am G A She likes the songs that I don't like She likes the songs that I don't like She likes the songs that I don't like and I love her yes I love her When we were first friends We had these arguments about who was more punk rock But things are different now We've learned to get along and how to let things go Truth is we're different And it's not unusual to have to sit and talk for a while Some of it's circumstance Like she's from the East Coast and he's from the West Coast But truly we were made differently So in conclusion I guess were growing up and changing priorities Because loving you means everything from me So we'll sing songs that we both like Yes we'll sing songs that we both like Yes we'll sing songs that we both like Loving you means everything from me Loving you means everything from me Loving you means everything from me
5.
White Flag 03:13
WHITE FLAG Chords: A D Em If it's true that this would happen before even time began then I guess I'll just surrender because I'm doing all I can Yes in vain I've risen early just to stumble home to late ignoring all the factors that determine my fate I'm gonna raise the white flag I'm gonna raise the black flag too I'm gonna raise the white flag and sing this song for you you see these words they are not weapons but these streets brew honesty and we're all soldiers a journey yes we're all pilgrims you and me so may all fear be forgotten as the memories fade away may the whole world join us in this song as we dance on yesterday

HIS LIPS ARE SEAL HALLELUJAH Chords: E G A B We had a show in Astoria I screamed and sang until I lost my voice But instead of choosing to save his throat So he could play the show in Seattle that night He sang these words, he sang these words,he sang these words and he wouldn't shut up His lips are sealed hallelujah, His lips are sealed hallelujah His lips are sealed, his lips are sealed His lips are sealed hallelujah I learned early on in this relationship that I like quiet more than I like to admit, waking up slowly and reading and eating Breakfast is how I start the day And if as in some mocking tone He just won't leave me alone Sometimes I wish he would go outside Or that I had some place to hide But I always, always have to say “Could you please just stop talking?” His lips are sealed hallelujah ,His lips are sealed hallelujah His lips are sealed, his lips are sealed His lips are sealed hallelujah But truth is I love to communicate I like to talk early and I like to talk late truth is like to communicate with you So sometimes I wake up in the morning and I won't shut up - His lips are sealed hallelujah Sometimes I think I can't say enough His lips are sealed hallelujah Truth is you inspire me, like a poet without an editor Sometimes I spill my words out on top of her Late at night when I'm asleep (the only time I don't hear him peep) She smiles and she softly sings with joy His lips are sealed hallelujah, His lips are sealed hallelujah His lips are sealed, his lips are sealed His lips are sealed hallelujah

DESPITE IT ALL Chords: G C D Strangely I'm feeling complicated about the rhythms and the chords lately I'm feeling so conflicted about the things that I absorb lately I'm realizing I'm no better off it's true when I hold things more tightly than I need to I have spent too many hours staring toward the wall hoping in my strength I could make my demons fall but consequences, circumstances, and perceptions just bring strife and handcuff all my dreams and kill my quality of life but I believe things can be different I believe that we can change yes I believe we never have to stay the same Strangely it seems like my life is never slowing down But I'm getting more at ease when she's around I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to or fear the day when she can stay at home and I not feel like I've walked away see my priorities have shifted and I ever am so glad because I am becoming less selfish and I'm dropping all my fads but consequences, circumstances, and perceptions still bring strife and handcuff all my dreams and kill my quality of life but I believe things can be different I believe that we can change yes I believe we never have to stay the same (you see) this body could be a Bible if a bike could be a bomb and there's nothing better than to find where you belong come old friend let us reason together come old friend let us reason let us reason today despite it all I still believe in you despite it all I still believe you're true
