A BIT TOO DRUNK Peter Myles INTRO: -- E – D - A VERSE 1 E ------------------- E7 ---------------- E ----------- Last night at the party, I made a fool of myself While my friends were having fun, I drank a few long necks The bitter taste of sorrow, didn’t go along with beer So I started acting like a jerk and being rude with y peers CHORUS D ------------------------- A ----------------------------------------- E ---------- I guess I was drunk, a bit too drunk, I was really really really too drunk I was drunk, a bit too drunk, I was really really really too drunk VERSE 2 E ------------------- E7 ---------------- E ----------- The next morning I woke up, had the biggest headache I had to find out where I was and who I had slept with I can’t remember what I’ve done and why I have a swollen lip I probably spoke too much and someone just got pissed off CHORUS BRIDGE: G ----------------------------------- D ------------------------------ E Some say I have a problem with booze and that I’m an alcoholic G ----------------------------------- D ------------------------------ B That each time I take a drink I turn to Dr. Jekill with only just one sip SOLO: VERSE 3 E ------------------- E7 ---------------- E ----------- Well I’ve tried to be sober, I had to let go my old habits I ran away from temptations for which I’ve never resisted Lord knows how hard that this can be when thirst gets to your throat I guess it’s just the price I pay 4 all the years I’ve acted like an asshole END I guess I have a problem with booze and that I’m an alcoholic

JEALOUS KIND Peter Myles It’s 8 p.m., a taxi’s comin’, my baby’s getting ready for work She’s wearing a white tight tank top and a leather mini skirt She’s earning money by serving whiskey, she’s the attraction of this club Where the money flows like water and the princes are just frogs And when she asked me if it bugs me if she’s surrounded by so many men I told her: ‘’Baby, you don’t even need to worry ‘cause I’m not the jealous kind CHORUS ‘Cause I’m not the jealous kind…kind, kind, kind As long as you stay mine…mine, mine, mine Standing by you I am proud…proud, proud, proud So you don’t need to worry, about me going crazy, If you are talking to some other guys… ‘Cause I’m not the jealous kind… kind, kind, kind VERSE 2 The clock strikes two, the lights are fading, the men are seeking for a date They’re acting like a bunch of roosters and their speeches are quite fake They think they will seduces my baby, they should forget it ‘cause she knows their game Some of them wants to do the waitress, ‘cause that’s how the hunter gets his fame My buddy asked me if I feel nervous, when I see these sharks around my babe I told him: Buddy you don’t even need to worry ‘cause I’m not the jealous kind CHORUS ‘Cause I’m not the jealous kind…kind, kind, kind As long as you stay mine…mine, mine, mine Standing by you I am proud…proud, proud, proud So you don’t need to worry, about me going crazy, If you are talking to some other guys… ‘Cause I’m not the jealous kind… kind, kind, kind

BLUE EYES BLUE Peter Myles VERSE 1 Do you remember when I first met you? Well we were drivin’ out of town Under the blue sky blue The cool wind was blowin’ in your long blond hair While we were singing and screaming out Like we just didn’t care But when you asked me to look at you deeply in the eyes It kind of hit me and I stood there paralyzed I love your blue eyes blue… VERSE 2 The days went by and I’m still by your side Babe I still see the ocean when I look into your eyes Honey, I love you and I know you love me So take a look into my eyes and tell me what you see You’ll see a man who is completely satisfied Who would do anything to look into these eyes I love your blue eyes blue… BRIDGE Each time I look at you it’s magic Your face glows and shines day or night Can’t find the words to explain it But there’s something that I can’t deny SOLO VERSE 3 Do you remember when I first met you Who would’ve thought that I would’ve fall in love with you I was a heartbreak kid who had nothing to lose Now here I am on my knees swearing I can’t live without you Your burning love has set my frozen heart on fire To live under your spell ‘till I die is my desire I love your blue eyes blue… I love your blue eyes blue… I love your blue eyes blue…(8X)

HARD TO SAY GOODBYE Peter Myles VERSE 1 I’ve had the blues since a week or two ‘Cause I don’t feel the same way about you I know I’ll have to let you know somehow Babe we have been lovers for so long I know that you will ask what went wrong No matter what I’ll say I’ll make you cry CHORUS Why is it so hard to say goodbye It scares my soul and it turns my heart upside down I just can’t say I hate you ‘cause it would be a lie So, why is it so hard to say goodbye VERSE 2 You keep on telling me I’m acting strange And the way I kiss you ain’t the same You see suspicion in my eyes When I look at our pictures on the wall Some flashes of memories I recall The pang is deeper I wish I could die CHORUS Why is it so hard to say goodbye It scares my soul and it turns my heart upside down I just can’t say I hate you ‘cause it would be a lie So, why is it so hard to say goodbye BRIDGE I’m standing in the dark, screaming at the top of my lungs ‘Cause I feel guilty to say it’s over and that we can’t go on VERSE 3 Girl I know that I will break your heart And even worse I’ll tear your world apart I hope deep in your heart you’ll understand At first I thought that it would’ve been easy But it’s not ‘cause you mean so much to me How can we go through this and still be friends CHORUS Why is it so hard to say goodbye It scares my soul and it turns my heart upside down I just can’t say I hate you ‘cause it would be a lie So, why is it so hard to say goodbye I just can’t say I hate you ‘cause I would lie So, why is it so hard to say goodbye

THE DEVIL'S BACK IN TOWN Peter Myles Crazy little thing called love just came back in our town She’s walking down the avenue and spin heads ‘round and ‘round Pal you know my point of view don’t try to get me wrong Just hold on tight when she’s close to you don’t even think you’re strong Don’t play her game, don’t fall in love, I swear she’ll make U lose your crown So I’m warning you Pal don’t get close ‘cause the devil’s back in town Strange things happen on and on and we all wonder why Each night it’s like this for a week or two and the men are going wild The heat is rising up I guess the fever is about to bound She’s evil and you know it too so you better stand your ground The way she walks & the way she moves she’ll make U drool like a child Well, I’m warning you Pal don’t get close ‘cause the devil’s back in town BRIDGE Please open up your eyes before you realize the spell’s on you And if you’re hypnotized she’ll cut U down to size until she rolls all over U She’s part of your imagination and it’s stimulates your brain She reads your weaknesses in your mind and takes advantage of it with no shame She’s all your fantasies don’t be so blind she’ll burn you down to hell And remember Pal that what you see is often different then what you can tell Be rational, not emotional I know it’s sounds a bit absurd But, I’m warning you Pal don’t get close ‘cause the devil’s back in town But, I’m warning you Pal don’t get close ‘cause the devil’s back in town the devil’s back in town, the devil’s back in town the devil’s back in town, the devil’s back in town

DON'T CRY IF YOU LIED Peter Myles You always asked me to be true to you Never fake a teardrop or a smile We made a promise we’d tell each other the truth ‘Cause honesty keeps the flame alive Last night I heard something painful through the grapevine I can believe you think I’m blind Now all of my dreams with you won’t come true There’s thousand stories just like mine That’s why I tell you… CHORUS Now baby don’t cry if you lied ‘Cause you deserve what happens now You broke my heart and worse you sold my crown Now baby don’t cry if you lied We had plans to raise a little family To buy a farm in a small town You know with time that love don’t come easy We got to work it hard every day and night Why didn’t you tell me if there was something wrong We could’ve fix it from the start Instead you ran away and let this problem go on and on So don’t be surprised if our love died That’s why I tell you… CHORUS (2X) Now baby don’t cry if you lied ‘Cause you deserve what happens now You broke my heart and worse you sold my crown Now baby don’t cry if you lied Now baby don’t cry if you lied ‘Cause you deserve what happens now You broke my heart and worse you sold my crown Now baby don’t cry if you lied
