Rock me Therapeutic Verse 1 C Bm Am G You are now the sun, moon & the stars written on the sky, on every blade of grass on every living tree & what we cease to believe. my guardians, my mission transition Make it so for now, believe me Chorus C Bm Am G So what you waiting for, are you restless like before pretty baby, gazing softly wanting more with a paintbrush in my hand I think about you all the time, in the corners of my mind Candy wrap so crystallised You know you’ve got me hypnotized. Verse 2 C Bm Am G Sing me when I need it, you rock me therapeutic wholesome souls, when we feel at home Your Spirits here with me, & forever more will be reaching for the skylite, making it so finite. Middle eight C Em7 For it’s your intuition, you are kissing In the far off distance you’ll be missing You're here & everywhere the clouds got in the way Your moving waters gently to the shore Eternal sunrise, when I cry You're the footsteps in the sand... Chorus So what you waiting for, I am restless like before pretty baby, gazing softly wanting more I think about you all the time, in the corners of my mind candy wrap so crystallised You know you’ve got me hypnotized. Ohh whoo, mmm Outro C Em Ahh ahh! Written & composed By Joanne O'Dowd.

No Man’s land Chords - (Key of Am) Verse 1 Am G F Em Sun shines through my window, I'm driving in my car. I drop you off, you pick me up, And baby we'll go far. Turning left and right, Doesn't matter because it's always night. No man's land. Harmnx (In No man’s land) Loneliness is fine, Even though I've got you on my mind, Maybe I'll take a ride I'll keep you warm inside. I Pick you up, you let me down, Know that I am driving nowhere, Round and round. Vox Harmnx (No man’s land) Chorus: C Em Am G The work goes on and the course endures The hope still lives and the dreams are yours Who looks outside dreams… Who looks inside awakens me. Vox Harmnx Middle Eight Am G F Em x2 I’m turning left & i’m turning right Blindly obeying the traffic lights A vision near or far She’s Venus in the sky Guiding us home tonight Come take my hand No man's land. (Vox Harmnx) Rpt Chorus: The work goes on and the course endures The hope still lives and the dreams are yours Who looks outside dreams… Who looks inside awakens me.

Verse 1 The birds keep singing Are we winning Easing melody is on our mind Taking us through, to much to do Why we must try & try But can I get a witness when she’s begging for forgiveness Walk in numbers, I stand in line. Chorus Extracted Passions Permitted fashions The movie runs the soundtrack Voices over re-set, appealing to the subject I’m hitting on the what next It's appealing to the subject Continuous & flexible Do you receive me? Verse 2 The birds keep singing are we winning Easing melody is on our mind Taking us through too much to do These are changing times But can I get a witness I’ve been getting all the symptoms Of formulaic context Do this do that x2 Melodic Interlude C Bm Middle eight Am Em X8 Outro C I’m hitting on the what next Bm When I'm studying the concept Am It’s a fundamental respect Em Am That I believe in...
