Living In December I’ve suspended, the flow of time Am, F locked myself inside a nursery rhyme Am, F, Em Frozen frame before the clock strikes twelve Am, F Tossing coins down a wishing well Am, F, Em And then It’s shattered, Spinning F, G Turning on a dime The feelings taken me F, E Back to where I really want to be Wasting all my precious time Am, G, F Living in December Trying to keep the fire alive F, E/G, Am cradling the embers I wish that I could say goodbye Am, G, F It’s so hard for me I’d rather watch the world go by than F, E/G, Am Face reality Somewhere off I hear a mission bell Unwinding gentle threads to break her spell With sunken eyes, I can almost see Beyond famished creed consuming me And then It’s shattered Spinning, turning on a dime The feelings taken me Back to where I really want to be {Chorus} My greatest fear is that I’ll fade away A hungry ghost, a thin disguise And only thing I could grasp and hold on to is the way that I can see me in your eyes In your eyes

Heaven Can Wait I can see the northern star Gm, Dm Capo (CMaj7, C#m) through the misty golden gray And while you slumber my arms It doesn't seem so far away I know you wander in your mind It's a beautiful escape Another place another time On a road that I cant take ------------------------------------------------------ I don't wanna be the one that sold you Gm, D# Capo (Em, C) I don't wanna be the chain that holds you I don't wanna break you down to make you stay ---------------------------------------------------------- If Heaven can wait, as constant as stars F,Gm,D#,A# Capo (D,Em,C,G) I'm here for you now wherever you are Whatever I am, I offer to you If Heaven can wait then I can too Gm, Dm Capo (CMaj7, C#m) ----------------------------------------------------- It's so hard to say goodbye (Echo) There's so many things to say But in the heat of my desire All the words melt away Again the universe has smiled A million eyes will test our faith Watching weaving all the while Spinning slowly into day ------------------------------------------------- {Chorus} x2

Because of You There’s a ragged hole in my world G,Bm, C, D That I’ve fallen through Because of you Because of you Torn apart and stained by emotion G, Bm, C, D To a moody blue Because of you Because of you I tried to rise above C, G, D, E and stop from falling in But I just lack self discipline The feeling’s close to me C, G, D, E The tragic might have been I wear it like a second skin Because of You x2 C, G, D I’ve been begging to the sky C,G Give me reason, tell me why C, G Whats purpose of the pain C, G I’m going through D Because Of You G I’ve tried to leave our apartment just to change the view Because of You Because of You But now I’m lying alone in the darkness That’s the honest truth Because of you Because of you {pre-chorus} {chorus} I guess that someday we could still be friends Am, Bm And I’ll be stronger in the end Am, D Because of you

Across the water I couldn’t give you all I had to give The love you want, and the life you want to live It’s ok, I’ll find a way Across the water You said you’re leaving You couldn’t take it anymore That I should find out, what it is I’m looking for It’s ok, I’ll find a way Across the water ------------------------------------------------------ You said you stopped believing You’d been with someone else Cause I had stopped believing in myself ------------------------------------------------------------------- You will never know how much I really hurt that night I couldn’t even find a single word to say But being by myself I realized That you were right I’ll find a way Find a way I’ll find a way Find a way Across the water I stand alone, looking out into the night The river sparkles under pale city lights It’s ok, I’ll find a way Across the water {Pre-chorus} {Chorus} I’m only human but Iove and illusion will help me to make it somehow {Chorus}

Into the night My smile hides the emptiness inside Somethings taken hold of me What I was, and not what will become The journey's ripe to set me free I've been lying to myself and thats the truth And consequences steal my youth Into the night Going where I've never been Darkness and light The sun is gonna rise again I'll roll the bones Someday they're gonna grin I'm goin' to hell But, I'll back again Theres a thirst, that burns from deep within Some would call my mortal sin If I shed, these eager clothes of hunger I can touch the world with my new skin I've been lying to myself and thats the truth And consequences steal my youth Chorus I can feel, the fear wash over me Racing heart and rising tide I've had my fill of falling to my knees Restless heart won't be denied! I've been lying to myself and thats the truth And consequences steal my youth Chorus I'll be back again I'll rise again

My Heart Belongs to Me I'm not standing with my hand held out (I still want you) I'm only standing in the rain (I still need you) And every drop contains a seed of doubt (I"ll be here for you) A piece of me thats torn away ----------------------------------------- I grew up strong, I never bent or swayed (We still love you) The dream that held my father's eyes (We still need you) But from my failure comes the slow decay (We will stand with you) That cuts me down with compromise oh,oh,oh my god -------------------------------------------------------------- [Pre-chorus] Tension builds I can feel Everything so unreal And I rush, to where the feeling takes me I don't know, where to go what to do, It's taking me ------------------------------------------ {Chorus} Down a road that leads me into the wildest wind (Wildest Wind) Twist and turn so dark that I can't see Its your voice that cries, in the middle of my night That my heart belongs to me ------------------------------------------------- So many ghosts, so many turned away Another job, another town A story etched in lines on every face That they whisper to me now [Prechorus] {Chorus} ------------------------------------------------ When I bend, Will I break? oh,oh,oh Will the dreamer finally wake? From the father to the son I fear this journey has just begun {Chorus}

I've fallen hard Don't know if I will make it Head over heels like a clown I close my eyes Don't if I can take it High enough to touch the perfect sky But never leave the ground And I'm I'm counting on a miracle tonight D,A,G Stepping off a cloud into the sky A,D Lifted by the strength of my desire A,G,A I know your kind of love is hard to find Repeat trying anything to make you mine And feeling like a bird up on a wire Learning to fly I see for miles But I cannot see tomorrow You may decide, to let me down And if cry then I'll gather all my sorrows and walk away with all the hope of the love I thought I'd found I'm counting on a miracle tonight D,A,G Stepping off a cloud into the sky A,D Lifted by the strength of my desire A,G,A I know your kind of love is hard to find Repeat Trying everything to make you mine And feeling like a bird up on a wire Learning to fly I can touch the sky now that I'm learning to fly I can touch the sky now that I'm learning to fly I can touch the sky now that I'm learning to fly I can touch the sky now that I'm learning to fly Learning to fly Learning to fly

Make it Right I felt the calm before the storm A,Bbm,D,A,E A looming silence deeper then I've ever known A,Bbm,D,A,E And hollow words just blew away They never had a voice, Never had a say But swollen words, and platitudes Bbm,D,G They still mean nothing without you Bbm,A,G Everytime I see you D,A,Em,G I wish that I could break through I'm wanna make it right I'm wanna make it right I won't stop believing Long as my hearts beating I'm wanna make it right I'm wanna make it right Middle aged Romeo And heaven knows that it hurt you so And now your just so far away A million miles from me and further every day But every time I think of you I cant help feel the way I do (Chorus) I wish that I could find a way To say the things I needs say (Chorus)

about

This is a compilation of demo songs from Youtube. There's no editing here, so you will hear unfinished tracks and maybe a few swear words. I hope no one is offended. Quality is not the best, but there's plenty of heart and soul.
