[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Cheryl Cry, one of the great [G] names in the [D] music industry, she's back with new music and it's brilliant.
The record was really [G] just kind of an [D] idea.
What happens when three legendary Grammy Award winners get together?
[G] An album [D] that's based on my [Bm] love for the [D] people who've inspired me in [G] my whole life.
[D] We love you as well.
We love you so much, Cheryl.
It would have taken much to prove you wrong
It would have taken much [G] to [D] prove you wrong
I got my mind made up and [G] my money [D] is gone
[Bm] It would have [D] taken [G] much to [D] prove you wrong
[Bm] It would have [D]

_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _
[Em] _ Chris Christopherson I've known [A] for many, many, many [Em] years.
_ _ [A] 20 years ago.
You [E] and I sang together, didn't we?
[A] He really is the inspiration for this [D] whole thing.
Running like you're running [E] out of _ _ time _ _
[D] Take it all, take it easy
[A] Till it's over
He just really brought home to me [G] Understand
How important the relationships that you have in your life
You're heading for the border, [A] Lord
You're bound to cross that line
_ _ He was what made me want to call up the Stevie Nicks' and the Keith Richards'
And all these people [Em] that I've loved and [A] known
And that I've grown [G] with through the years
And my 25 years [A] of doing this, or 30 years of doing it
_ _ Please welcome [Dm] a best-selling [C] musical artist

Cheryl _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] Crow
_ [C] Things _ will pass, [D] little shit
Did [G] you know when [Em] you're good
_ [C] Perfect [D] in name, do [G] the bad [Em] thing
I was just [D] beginning
If it makes [Am] you _ happy
_ _ _ [A] All I [E] wanna do
Is have some [D] fun
The [A] last guy who's got [G] deep [D] ass
Sleeping most [G] _ _ _ [C] nights
[E] My so-called [B] son
_ I'm _ _ _ gonna tell [F#m] everyone
I want to _ [A] _ lie _ [B] tonight
_ I have a lot of thoughts after hearing that You do?
First of all, all I want to do is have some [C#] fun
Every day is a winding [F#] road _ _ _
[C#] _ I _ [E] think I'm a [F#] little bit closer
_ _ Every [C#] day is a fading _ [F#] _ _ sign
[G#m] I'm very happy and [B] grateful to have a nice _ _ [E] My _ baby _ _
[C#m] Baby, my _ _ _ baby _
[G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [D] _ Are you strong enough [G] to be my [Bm] _ man?
_ [A] _ [D] My _ _ man
[C] You gotta hold _ me
You really gotta [Am] hold _ me
You really [G] gotta [Am] hold me _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ Let [E] me _ down
_ _ _ [A] My love, I'm [D] _ here
_ _ _ [A] _
[E] Crazy _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [Fm] for a crier _
_ [D#m] _ Crazy _ [D] for a crier
[G] _ _ _ _ Give it, give it, [D] give it
My love, I'm here
[G] _
_ A _ _ _ big [A] round of applause
_ I have a record coming out [F#] in August
And _ _ ostensibly it will be my last
_ Formal, [Am] creative, full-length statement
[A] Oh, I gotta lie, oh why
[G] _ I [D] gotta [A] lie, oh [Em] why _ _ _ _
[D] _ Some [G] people just look that way
[D] _ _ Never looking [G] back at the mess they make
I [A] gotta lie, oh [B] why
I asked a lot of friends to be on it with me
And Brandy was one of my first calls
Beware of Darkness was written by George Harrison
And he's above all one of my favorite artists of all time
I asked Brandy to sing on it
Because I feel like she has this levity
This profundity about her
She [A] is a mom
We want to play [G] this song for you
Because we think it has a lot of meaning right now
Take care, beware [G#m] of _ _ falling
[C#m] And I just felt like we have to do this song
And it feels like a bit of a love letter [D] to our children
A song of warning about what [A] to watch for
As you _ inherit this planet
Beware [B] of darkness
_ _ _ It [E] can hit you _ _ _ _
It can [D] hurt you _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ Make [F#m] you sore
And what is [Bm] more
This is [G] not what you [B] are here _ _ for _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
The story of [D] everything
was really the summation of what was going [A] on
and is still going on in this country
You [C] can [G] live, you can [C] die
But [G] I know _ [D] _ how to get on
We [E] called Gary Clark Jr.
it and the guy
I think really just emulates the [D] fieryness
of what's happening right now
especially with young people seeing what's [A] happening
with the future that's being laid out for them
_ [G] _ _ [A] So here's the deal
I wrote this song with Joe _ Walsh
_ Still having fun no matter how old you are, [D] right?
We both feel [G#] like, hey, [A] we're still [Am] rocking
and we're still [C#m] enjoying our lives
It [D] doesn't mean because you're over [E] 30
that suddenly you don't have anything to say [F#] anymore
You might be [F#m] crazy
_ [D] I might be mad
For all those people that are [A] still out there having fun
that are drinking beer, that are rocking out at concerts
in your 40s, 50s, 60s
You should still be doing that and enjoying your life
[D] We think I'm the good [G] one
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ Hey, [D] he's still [G] got a good old [A] days _
_ _ [A#] When you write a song, you hope it's going to outlive everything
It's going to be timeless
And having Johnny Cash on it, his original vocal
that he [A#m] did in his cabin, it just [A#] brings so much [D#] weight
to the song and I think kind of announces the song's moment
There is [C#] a train _ _ that's heading straight _
_ To heaven's gate, _ [F#] _
to [C#] heaven's gate _ _
And on the way, _ _ child and man _ _ and woman [A#m] wait
_ [D#m] _ _ Watch [D#] and wait _ _ _ _ _ _ _ for [A#] redemption day
