Can you feel the love tonight

Elton John/Tim Rice


Verse
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Dm 
Can be turned away

An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn

There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of the star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

Chorus:
Am 
And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
Am 
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
Dm 
That we've got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

Chorus

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

Candle in the wind

Elton John


Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
 
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
 
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
 
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name


Chorus:

B7 
And it seems to me you lived your life
 
Like a candle in the wind
 
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
 C#m 
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
 
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

Other verses:
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe

Elton John / George Michael

Intro:
C/Bb F/A C/G Dm 
C/G G7 F/C F/C 
I can't light no more of your darkness
C/G C/G 
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
C/G G7 F/C C7/E 
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Bb/F C/G G7 
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

 C/G G7 F/C C7/E 
It's much too late to save myself from falling
Bb/F C/G 
I took a chance and changed your way of life
G7 C/G F/C C7/E 
But you misread my meaning when I met you
C/G F/G 
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Chorus:

C/Bb 
Don't let the sun go down on me
Am7 D7/F# 
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
C/G F/G G7 C/Bb 
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
 F/A Dm C/E C/G F/G 
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

(repeat intro chords)

I can't find oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me (baby no) just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh they need love to help me heal Oh..

(repeat chorus)

Ending:
 C/Bb F/A Ab Bb 
..down on me

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

Elton John


Don't wish it away
Em 
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
 Bm 
I could honestly say that things can only get better
 B7 Em 
And while I'm away bust out the demons inside G7
 
And it won't be long before you and me run
 Am Am7 G7 
To the place in our hearts where we hide

Chorus :
 
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
 
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children
 Am 
Living like lovers
Rolling like thunder, under the covers
Em 
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Verse 2
Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation, never forget I'm your man
Wait on me girl, cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

Your Song

Elton John

Gmaj7 F#m 
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
Bm Bm/A Bm/Ab 
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
F# Bm 
I don't much money, but, boy if I did
Em7 
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

Gmaj7 F#m 
If I was a sculptor, but then again no
Bm Bm/A Bm/Ab 
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
F# Bm 
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
Em7 
My gift is my song, and this one for you

Chorus
Bm Em7 
And you can tell everybody this is your song
Bm Em 
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
 Bm Bm/A 
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Bm/Ab 
That I put down in words,

 Em 
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Gmaj7 F#m 
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Bm Bm/A Bm/Ab 
Well a few of the verses they've got me quite crossed
F# Bm 
But the sun's been quite king, while I wrote this song
Em7 
It's for people like you that they keep turned on

Gmaj7 F#m 
So excuse me and forget but these I do
Bm Bm/A Bm/Ab 
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
F# Bm 
Anyway, the thing is, what I reallly mean
Em7 
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
chorus
 Em 
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
