Colors by Halsey

Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so

You said your mother only smiled on her TV show

You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope

I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old

You're dripping like a saturated sunrise(S)

You're spilling like an overflowing sink(S)

You're ripped at every edge(H) but you're a masterpiece(M)

And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink

(Mmmm)(O)

Everything is blue(H)

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors

Pulled apart at the seams(H)

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is grey(H)

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color(H)

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue

You were a vision in the morning when the light came through(H)

I know I've only felt religion when I've lied with you(H)

You said you'll never be forgiven 'til your boys are too

And I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you

You're dripping like a saturated sunrise(S)

You're spilling like an overflowing sink(S)

You're ripped at every edge(H) but you're a masterpiece(M)

And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink

Everything is blue(H)

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors

Pulled apart at the seams

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is grey(H)

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color(H)

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue

You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue(M)

You touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky(M)

And you decided purple just wasn't for you

Everything is blue(H)

His pills, his hands, his jeans

And now I'm covered in the colors

Pulled apart at the seams(H)

And it's blue

And it's blue

Everything is grey(H)

His hair, his smoke, his dreams

And now he's so devoid of color(H)

He don't know what it means

And he's blue

And he's blue

Everything is blue(H)

Everything is blue(H)

Everything is blue(H)

Everything is blue(H)

Love Story by Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes

And the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights

See the party, the ball gowns

I see you make your way through the crowd

And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo(A), you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet(A)

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone(A)

I'll be waiting all there Is left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

oh oh

So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter(H)

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me(H)

I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone(A)

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me(A), they try to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh oh(O)

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you is fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me(A) I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet(A)

You'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

managers at a practice sit sweating like pigs(S)

while sweaty stupid boys were practicing

the boys were hopping around like toads(S) as they croaked(O)

their bodys were too exposed in the too small singlets

the managers screamed at the idiots

hangers were left on the singlets

Without concern for order

all the pictures were taken

and the managers cried once more

At the boys who rubbed their sweat together
