[1997] Natalie Imbruglia - Torn

Verse 1:

F I thought I saw a man brought to lifeAm

He was warm, he came around like he was dBbignified

He showed me what it was to cry

F Well you couldn't be that man I adoredAm

You don't seem to know

Don't seem to care what your Bbheart is for

But I don't know him anymore

Pre Chorus 1:

There's Dmnothing where he used to lie

C My conversation has run dry

Am That's what's going on

C Nothing's fine

I'm toFrn

Chorus 1:

(F) C Dm I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel

I'm cold and I am Bbshamed, lying naked on the Ffloor

Illusion never Cchanged, into somethingDm real

I'm wide awake and BbI can see, the perfect sky is toFrn

C Dm (C) Bb You're a little late, I'm already torn

[1985] Elton John - I'm Still Standing

[Verse]

A D/A You could never know what it's like. E/A A Your blood like winter freezes just like ice. Bm7/A D/A E And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you. F#m D A Bm/A A You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use. D/A And did you think this fool could never win? E/A A Well look at me, I'm coming back again. Bm7/A D/A E I got a taste of love in a simple way. F#m D A Bm7/A A And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade a - way. Am7 Am Em7 Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did. Dm7 Fmaj7 G Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid. Am7 Am Em7 I'm still standing after all this time. Dm7 E7 Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind. Am Dm7 E7 I'm still standing. yeah yeah yeah! Am Dm7 E7 F/E G/E I'm still standing. yeah yeah yeah! A D/A Once I never could hope to win. E/A A You starting down the road leaving me again. Bm7/A D/A E The threats you made were meant to cut me down. F#m D A Bm7/A A And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now. Am7 Am Em7 Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did. Dm7 Fmaj7 G Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid. Am7 Am Em7 I'm still standing after all this time. Dm7 E7 Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind. Am Dm7 E7 I'm still standing. yeah yeah yeah! Am Dm7 E7 F/E G/E I'm still standing. yeah yeah yeah!
