Capo 2nd fret 
 
 
[Intro] 
E   D  A 
 
 
[Verse 1] 
   E 
He was born in the sticks right in the middle of fall 
     D              A 
He wants to be a cheerleader, runs away from the ball 
      E 
He's got a song in his heart and a collection of dolls 
      D                A 
And there's a pale shade of pink on his bedroom walls 
 
 
[Verse 2] 
      E 
He's got a whole lot of friends and his jokes make 'em weak 
      D               A 
He's got a dry sense of humor and a fabulous streak 
  E 
Never stays in the dark 'cause he'd rather be free 
     D                 A    E 
So he can light up the room seven days a week 
 
 
[Chorus] 
            D          A           E 
He's a Coca-Cola sipping true and tried, stars and stripеs 
               D 
Just a homegrown cowboy-kissing valentine 
A 
Sweet as applе pie 
E                       D 
The brightest single sparkle that you've ever seen 
 A               E 
Ooo baby and he's proud to be 
               D 
Watch him dancing the American dream 
   A           E     D A 
A red-blooded all American queen 
 
 
[Verse 3] 
    E 
He grows up in the spring, takes his boy to the prom 
   D               A 
No surprise that emotions get the best of his mom 
    E 
When they crown him the king, make him the belle of the ball 
      D              A 
He plants a kiss on his date as confetti falls 
 
 
[Verse 4] 
     E 
Soon he's loading his life in the back of his truck 
   D                 A 
When his pop starts crying he says, "daddy, be tough!" 
     E 
Puts his hands on the wheel, turns the radio on 
   D                  A 
Then he rolls down the window and sings along 
 
 
[Chorus] 
            D          A           E 
He's a Coca-Cola sipping true and tried, stars and stripеs 
               D 
Just a homegrown cowboy-kissing valentine 
A 
Sweet as applе pie 
E                       D 
The brightest single sparkle that you've ever seen 
 A               E 
Ooo baby and he's proud to be 
               D 
Watch him dancing the American dream 
   A           E     D 
A red-blooded all American queen 
   A           E     D A 
A red-blooded all American queen 
 
 
[Bridge] 
C#m                  A 
 Didn't choose to shine this bright 
A 
(Baby, he was born with it) 
C#m      E         A 
 But he'd choose it every time 
              E 
(To be an all American queen) 
 
 
[Chorus] 
E            D          A          E 
He's a Coca-Cola sipping true and tried, stars and stripеs 
               D 
Just a homegrown cowboy-kissing valentine 
A 
Sweet as applе pie 
E                       D 
The brightest single sparkle that you've ever seen 
 A               E 
Ooo baby and he's proud to be 
               D 
Watch him dancing the American dream 
   A      E 
A red-blooded all American queen

[Verse 1] 
    G         D      Em 
There's been something following me all my life 
          D 
Some protection that I can't define 
           C 
How I earned it, not a clue 
 G          D        Em 
They said, "It's a universal stars align 
            D 
It's a message from the great divine" 
               C 
But it didn't quite ring true 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
    Am          C 
Like a hope I couldn't place 
      Am           D 
'Til the day I saw your face 
 
[Chorus] 
           G 
You were somewhere in the sunlight 
    D       Em 
In the corners of my young mind 
           D 
Little whispers in a daydream 
               D 
Little voice that always saved me 
             C 
You were hiding in plain sight 
          G 
Now I see you every morning 
    D        Em 
In your unencumbered glory 
            D 
But even when you hadn't found me 
             D 
You were right there all around me 
               C 
And I've been on my way to you 
              G 
I loved you long before I knew you 
 
[Verse 2] 
 G 
Back then when you were bright-eyed 
    Em 
And too young to care 
            D 
I wonder if you ever felt me there 
          C 
Like an unexpected breeze 
  G      D         Em 
I hope now that you and I are intertwined 
             D 
You can feel me with you all the time 
               C 
'Cause that's where I wanna be 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
      Am         C 
You're the hope I couldn't place 
      Am           D 
'Til the day I saw your face 
 
[Chorus] 
           G 
You were somewhere in the sunlight 
    D       Em 
In the corners of my young mind 
           D 
Little whispers in a daydream 
               D 
Little voice that always saved me 
             C 
You were hiding in plain sight 
          G 
Now I see you every morning 
    D        Em 
In your unencumbered glory 
            D 
But even when you hadn't found me 
             D 
You were right there all around me 
               C 
And I've been on my way to you 
              G 
I loved you long before I knew you 
 
[Outro] 
          G 
And when we run out of mornings 
    D        Em 
I'll remember all your glory 
              D 
And your love will always ground me 
          D 
Even when you're not around me 
                   C 
And I'll still be singing to you 
                  G 
I'll love you longer than I knew you

[Intro] 
D 
 
 
[Verse 1] 
D 
Been thinking that it might be nice 
 G 
To see myself in someone's eyes 
D                     G 
A little spitting image god could show me 
  D 
I'm not the best at staying calm 
 G 
But I think I could handle almost 
D                   G 
Every twisting curveball he could throw me 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
Em             G 
I could choose what he wears 
              D 
Comb his hair and brush his teeth 
                A 
Pack his lunch and check his homework for the week 
      Em                       G 
Make sure his shoes are tied and say it's time to go 
                 D 
Drive real slow, pull up and park 
D 
I just couldn't let him get out of the car 
 
 
[Chorus] 
    G               D 
In the land of the free and the home of the terrified 
   G                 D 
They'rе thrown to the wolves in the namе of the red and white 
  F#7                 Hm         A     G 
Don't know if I'm built for that Pray-that-he-gets-lucky life 
Em                     A 
Of holding tight and waiting by the phone 
          D 
And hoping he comes home 
 
 
[Verse 2] 
D 
I couldn't stop him getting sad 
G 
Or bundle him in bubble wrap 
   D                    G 
I'd try to help him keep his heart wide open 
   D 
I'd teach him how to bend and sway 
 G 
That people leave and seasons change 
 D                    G 
But how could I explain a world that's broken? 
 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
Em             G                    D 
I could take all his friends to a film and buy them seats 
           A 
Give him money for the popcorn and the sweets 
     Em                    G 
Make sure he brings a coat in case he gets too cold 
                 D 
Drive real slow, pull up and park 
D 
I just couldn't let him get out of the car 
 
 
[Chorus] 
    G               D 
In the land of the free and the home of the terrified 
   G                 D 
They'rе thrown to the wolves in the namе of the red and white 
  F#7                 Hm         A     G 
Don't know if I'm built for that Pray-that-he-gets-lucky life 
Em                     A 
Of holding tight and waiting by the phone 
          D 
And hoping he comes home 
 
 
[Bridge] 
D 
It turns my stomach, breaks my heart 
 G 
What happens in our own backyard 
D                    G 
No blessing in the lesson we keep learning 
D                        G 
Before it's time to pick your name oh, I believe the winds can change 
 D                  G 
And I could drop you off without a worry 
 
 
[Out-Chorus] 
    G               D 
In the land of the free and the home of the terrified 
   G                 D 
They'rе thrown to the wolves in the namе of the red and white 
  F#7                 Hm         A     G 
Don't know if I'm built for that Pray-that-he-gets-lucky life 
Em                     A 
Of holding tight and waiting by the phone 
          D 
And hoping he comes home

[Verse 1] 
G     Am             Hm 
You melt me away, stretch out my days, 
     Bbm Am7        G 
Turn all my   colors into hues, 
       Am         Hm 
Filtering rays, magnolia shade, 
  Bbm Am7       G 
Under the  cover of you, 
G           Am         Hm       Bbm Am7 
All the words I’ve ever said are tumbling, 
G         Am            Hm     Bbm Am7 
All the walls inside my head are crumbling. 
 
 
[Chorus] 
 C         D 
Oh, honey mine, you slow the time, 
G      D/F#      Em 
My days and dreams all bleed together, 
C      D 
Me oh my, I'm lucky I, 
 G      D/F#     Em 
Can swim this golden glow forever, 
  C          Cm    G 
Right here inside my honeymind.

G       Am            Hm 
You loosen my grip, fruit in my fist, 
      Bbm Am7          G 
Runs through my  fingers to the sea, 
         Am           Hm 
All the “what-if's” soften and drip, 
  Bbm Am7 
Into an   ocean of me, 
G        Am         Hm     Bbm Am 
Buzzing bees in peoniеs are rumbling, 
G        Am             Hm      Bbm Am7 
Intertwined in moonlеss skies, we're fumbling. 
 
 
[Chorus] 
 C         D 
Oh, honey mine, you slow the time,

Oh, honey mine, you slow the time, 
 G     D/F#         Em 
But days and dreams don't last forever, 
 C         D 
Not evergreen but ever-sweet, 
 G     D/F#     Em 
To swim this golden glow together, 
  C          Cm    G 
Right here inside my honeymind.

[Intro] 
Am7      G 
C     G 
 
[Verse 1] 
  Am7           G 
I'm sure it was nothing 
      C                 G 
But you never used to bring somebody else along 
Am7          G 
Used to be our thing 
C               G 
Going to a movie, then we wander home 
Am7                 G 
All these little landmines 
C                           G 
All these little things that one can read two ways 
Am7                     G 
Like when you take every call outside 
Am7                       G 
Seems that I've forgotten how to read your face 
 
[Pre-chorus 
Hm            Am            D 
But I know you too well to get it wrong 
 
[Chorus] 
          Am      Cadd9         G 
If you have to hurt me, hurt me once 
          Am      Cadd9         G 
If you have to end it, get it done 
             C       D       Em 
You have all these choices, I have none 
C            G D      C 
You're all that I have to lose 
     C          G D      C 
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to 
D              Am7       G 
   I've decided on you 
 
[Interlude] 
C    G 
 
[Verse 2] 
   Am7          G 
If you keep it going 
  C                   G 
Then one by one, the memories will start to blur 
    Am7            G 
You'll ruin the good ones 
   C                    G 
But I guess my photo album's none of your concern 
  Am7             G 
Don't humor me with kindness 
      C                   G 
There's nothing kind about a hundred small betrayals 
 
[Pre-chorus] 
Hm            Am                 D 
If you love me at all, you'll kill it now 
 
[Chorus] 
          Am      Cadd9         G 
If you have to hurt me, hurt me once 
          Am      Cadd9         G 
If you have to end it, get it done 
             C       D       Em 
You have all these choices, I have none 
C            G D      C 
You're all that I have to lose 
     C          G D      C 
Couldn't hurt you if I wanted to 
D            Am7   C           G 
  I decided on you, I've decided on you 
 
[Outro] 
           Am7 
And if I'm disappointed 
          Cadd9                  G 
It's 'cause you're not the person I knew 
          C     D               Em 
If I had it my way, I'd be kinder than you 
  Am7             Em    D Cadd2 
I'm sure I'll forgive you, and soon 
   Am7         Em      D Cadd2 
I'm ashamed but I'm proud of it, too 
D            G 
  I decided on you﻿

[Verse] 
Em        C                G 
I, I've carried this song in my mind 
D                Em 
Listen, it's echoing in me 
 C                 G        D 
But I haven't helped you to hear it 
Em   C             G 
We, we've only got so much time 
  D               Em 
I'm pretty sure it would kill me 
          C             G             D 
If you didn't know the pieces of me are pieces of you 
 
[Pre-chorus] 
         Am     Em    D     C 
I've waited way too long to say 
   Am     Em    D   C 
Everything you mean to me 
 
[Chorus] 
         C           G         D 
In case you don't live forever, let me tell you now

Capo 6 
* = strum once 
 
[Verse 1] 
   C 
I was walking down 57th Street towards Park 
      G 
With the same old song in my same old heart 
   Am                     F 
Making plans I'm gonna    Do when I get older 
     C 
Passed a gray-haired man and I found his eyes 
           G 
It's like he knew my thoughts and he read my mind 
    Am                        F 
Saying life is gonna find you when it's supposed to 
 
[Pre-chorus] 
      Am 
Felt my feet stop short and I turned my head 
      C                 D          F 
Tried to lean into every word he said, then he said 
 
[Chorus] 
       C          F       C 
When you are younger, you wish you're older 
  F      C             G 
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around 
           Am        G     F 
Don't let your wonder turn into closure 
       C              G 
When you get older, when you get older 
 
[Post-Chorus] 
C F    Am    G 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
C F    Am    G 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
[Verse 2] 
    C 
Have I killed my thoughts right before their prime? 
    G 
Have I bit my tongue one too many times 
    Am                        F 
Have I said it all the way I really meant to? 
     C 
If I wait 'til my tomorrow comes 
     G                    Am 
Is the waiting all I've ever donE? 
        F 
And will I get to, 
 
[Pre-chorus] 
     Am 
get to know myself in the place I          Am 
    G                     D        F 
Get to fall in love with another man and understand 
 
[Chorus] 
       C          F       C 
When you are younger, you wish you're older 
  F      C             G 
Then when you're older, you wish for time to turn around 
           Am        G     F 
Don't let your wonder turn into closure 
       C              G 
When you get older, when you get older 
 
[Post-Chorus] 
C F    Am    G 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
C F    Am    G 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
 
[Chorus] 
       C          F       C 
When you are younger, you wish you're older 
 F     C             G 
When you get older, you wish for time to turn around 
           Am        G     F

[Verse 1] 
F                      Dm 
They met at school, that's how it goes 
              Bb 
Some drinks and then a rose 
              C     F 
Then plans to meet again 
                     Dm 
He wrote her poems, songs, and prose 
           Bb 
She knew that he'd propose

She only wondered when 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

One night before they went to bed

[Verse 2] 
F                 Dm 
Some years went by they had a child 
                   Bb 
He was funny, strange, and mild 
                 C      F 
Their love for him ran deep 
                         Dm 
Some nights his dreams would drive him wild 
            Bb                 C 
So into bed she piled to help him fall asleep 
 
[Pre-Chorus] 
Dm                  F 
One night he couldn't get to bed 
               Bb 
So she kneeled on both knees 
              C 
And this is what she said: 
 
[Chorus] 
  F      Bb 
I may not be wise 
 F      Bb       Dm 
But I won't save the day 
 F         Bb 
But look in my eyes

And know I'll always stay

F                  Dm 
You say it's safer on your own 
             Bb 
You'd rather sleep alone

Then grow to need me there

Баста — лирический проект рэпера из города Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Василия Вакуленко, созданный в 2006 году.Был 1996 год, он уже написал первую песню «Мой город» и собрал группу, которая называлась «Уличные звуки» — Street sound. Василий значился в ее составе под именем Баста Хрю. «Меня с детства называли Хрюшей, потому что разбрасывал все непонятно где», — объясняет Баста.Примерно в это же время рождалось знаменитое ростовское рэп-движение, которое в следующем десятилетии стало лидирующим в стране. Баста был непосредственным участником процесса. И даже поучаствовал с треком «Первый удар» в большом и шумном объединении молодых рэперов — ростовской Касте, впоследствии ставшим группой «Каста».Далее Баста двинулся в своем, более лиричном направлении. Трек «Моя игра» стал одним из главных в его биографии. Вася Вакуленко стал знаменитым на весь Ростов. «Звездная болезнь? Нет, не появилась. Появились наркотики и старшие друзья, реальные хулиганы» — вспоминает Вася. «Точно могу сказать, что эта песня не раз спасала меня. Бывало, хотели лишить жизни, а когда узнавали, что это я, оставляли в покое».Вся эта нелегкая и полная злоключений жизнь стала историей, которая теперь зарифмована в его альбомах. «В 2002 мой друг Жора вымутил у своей мамы денег и мы купили компьютер. Вадик QП сводил первое демо к будущему альбому». Эти самые треки случайно попали к Богдану Титомиру и он предложил ребятам уехать в Москву. Был 2004 год. А спустя 2 года вышел альбом «Баста 1» и на ТВ начали крутить клип «Осень». Московская жизнь Басты неразрывно связана с «Газгольдером». На тот момент клуб только открылся и носил статус самого закрытого заведения в Москве. Но Баста держался в стороне от местной рэп-тусовки. Первым новым знакомым — ее представителем — стал Смоки Мо, а позже Вася узнал Гуфа. «Однажды я подошел к Гуфу на концерте, тот вспомнил «Мою игру», мы с ним решили сделать кавер-версию, которая вышла на альбоме «Баста 2», — рассказывает Вася. Но настоящий взрыв случился сразу после этого, когда Баста поучаствовал в клипе группы Centr «Город дорог». После этого слава Басты вышла далеко за пределы родного Ростова и Москвы.Посыпались номинации, премии, награды и статусы. Второй альбом «Баста 2» вышел в 2007 и стал хитом продаж. Он звучал взрослее и разнообразнее. Выпустив в промежутке два релиза под псевдонимом Ноггано, третью пластинку Баста писал уже в статусе одного из ведущих рэп-артистов страны. Новый материал рассчитал на более широкую аудиторию, а подборка хитов «Урбан», «Ростов», «Солнца не видно» и «Калифорния» уже не в первый раз проверяет на прочность самые большие площадки Москвы.В октябре 2012 года, Баста записал несколько кавер-версий песен Михея, в частности трек «Мама», на который был снят видеоклип. Также Василий выступил на большом концерте, посвященном 10-летию памяти Михея, который прошел 1 ноября на площадке Arena Moscow.В конце 2012 года снялся в ролике, призванном привлечь внимание к дискриминации людей с ВИЧ-инфекцией.Дискография 2006 Баста 1 2007 Баста 2 2010 Баста 3 2010 Баста/Guf 2013 Баста 4 2016 Баста 5, Часть 1 2016 Баста 5, Часть 2

Макс Корж — молодой музыкант из Минска, который легко смешивает в своем творчестве электронную музыку, рэп, пение. 
Он родился ноября 1988 года, в городе Лунинец Брестской области. В раннем возрасте он с родителями переехал в Минск. Получил музыкальное образование по классу фортепиано и попутно научился играть на гитаре. В 16 лет он с друзьями создал музыкальную группу LunClan, которая просуществовала недолго. После этого было еще несколько проектов, но они тоже не имели большого успеха. 
После всех неудач Макс попробовал себя в роли битмейкера, сочиняя музыку для других исполнителей. Эта идея также не увенчалась успехом, после чего он начала петь свои песни сам. 
Во время учебы в Белорусском государственном университете Макс Корж записал свою первую сольную песню. Проучившись в БГУ до 3 курса, он понял, что учеба ему мешает и бросил университет и всерьез занялся музыкальной деятельностью. Он записал песню «Небо поможет нам» и выложил ее ВКонтакте. После чего Максима забрали в армию. Когда он вернулся домой, то узнал, что песня стала популярна в интернете. За это время песня собрала большую аудиторию, ее транслировали в эфире некоторые минские радиостанции. После он начал активно рассылать свои песни диджеям, чтобы они крутились в клубах. 
В мае 2012-го он выпустил в Беларуси первый сольный альбом, а через год уже собрал многотысячные залы. Его востребованность у концертных промоутеров стала ажиотажной, он дважды выступил в программе «Вечерний Ургант» на Первом канале, а презентация его второго альбома «Жить в кайф» вновь побила рекорды — так, в столице Беларуси она прошла в пятнадцатитысячной «Минск Арене».

Молодой и талантливый белорусский рэп-исполнитель Макс Корж. Мастер бешеных концертов. На странице представлены подборы с аккордами и текстами песен.

Скриптонит (Адиль Жалелов, родился 3-го июня 1990-го года в Ленинском, Казахстан) — казахстанский русскоязычный рэпер и музыкальный продюсер.Начинал с создания инструменталов для других хип-хоп-исполнителей, попутно записывая в стол свои песни, оттачивая таким образом свои навыки по написанию текстов.Первую известность ему принёс видеоклип на песню «VBVVCTND», который получил хорошие отзывы и привёл исполнителя к контракту с творческим объединением Gazgolder.В 2015-ом году Адиль выпускает свой первый сольный альбом «Дом с нормальными явлениями», получивший восторженные отзывы слушателей и музыкальных критиков и моментально ставший классикой русского рэпа.Скриптонит работает в совершенно разных жанрах: начиная с южного звучания, он пришёл к более музыкальному и разноплановому подходу как к музыке, так и к вокалу.Весной 2017-го года вышел его второй альбом под названием «Праздник на улице 36». Как заявил сам Жалелов в июньском интервью у Юрия Дудя, «Праздник…» — это коммерческий релиз с очевидными хитами, а «тот самый альбом», или «Улица 36», название которого стало известно из небольшого июльского отчёта с Gazgolder Live от MTV и который слушатели ждали с момента выпуска «Дома…», был запланирован на осень этого же года.В итоге 16-го декабря 2017-го года вышел двойной альбом Скриптонита — «Уроборос: Улица 36» / «Уроборос: Зеркала». После выхода пластинки Жалелов заявил, что в связи с тем, что для него рэп как жанр себя исчерпал
