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

A --------------------------------------
I was in bed and I thought I was dreaming
------------ D -----------------------------
When I heard that front doorbell ringing
------------- E ---------------------------------
I knew it was you ‘cause it’s always the same thing
------------------ A --------------------------------------- E
Why do you show your face at three in the morning
-------------------------- A -------------------------
Don’t come and tell me that you are too busy

When you can’t call me, you’re still thinking of me

But be there because you wanna be
CHORUS:
--- A --------------------------
Be there because you wanna be

Gotta be there because you wanna be
SOLO: A-D-E-A-E
A --------------------------------------
You’re always on the run, you don’t have a minute
------------ D -----------------------------
When you stop by it’s on a rush like a rocket
------------- E ---------------------------------
Your alibis aren’t making sense, I get sick of it
------------------ A ------------------------------- E
No matter what you do it’s always top secret
-------------------------- A -------------------------
If it’s a part time lover you need then tell me
--------------------------- D ----------------------------
I won’t be disappointed you don’t have to worry
-------------- E -----------------------------
Don’t try to lie or play games with me honey
------------ A ------------------------- E
But be there because you wanna be
CHORUS

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
