And there's no evil
strong enough...no no

Keep on shinin' golden girl
Light a candle for the world
Take your fire from inside
Warm the darkness - light the night
Bring your heaven to the ground
Never let them tear it down
So much soul when you're glowin'
golden girl

Won't you keep on,
won't you keep on
Won't you keep on,
won't you keep on
Keep on, keep on shining

Keep on shinin' golden girl
Light a candle for the world
Take your fire from inside
Warm the darkness - light the night
Bring your heaven to the ground
Never let them tear it down
So much soul when you're glowin'
golden girl

When are we gonna learn that we don't have a choice?
                    F#m  E        D7+            D/E     
We both know how it ends    so we just choose to pretend

In a way it's all secondary for the way that things have been

We fall out of the love and back in love  again  mmm
     A7+               D7+          A7+                  D7+       
In a way it's all kind of scary, the things that we can't admit
        A7+                 D7+     C#m7  B/Eb   Bm7/D  
We fall out of the love and back in love  again  mmm

Goodbye To Yesterday
by Incognito
Intro: Am7/9

Verse 1:
Am7/9

Every day I say I'll try something new
Am7/9

Make some changes that are long overdue
Am7/9

Tryin' to wrap my head around it
Am7/9

Still remain surrounded
Am7/9

By walls that I can't seem to get through
F7+                     D/E

A part of me so keen to see
            Dm7/9                    D/E  D6/E  E/F#

What I will find if I leave it all behind

Verse 2:I keep dreaming 'bout where I could be
About the places and the faces I'd see
This is bigger than myself
I know that no one else
Can do what's clearly up to me
It's never too late to change your fate
Right here and now, I'm gonna turn my world around


Chorus:
        A7+/9

I can't stop what I've started
         D7+/9 
'Cos I'm finally on my way
         F7+           D/E          A7+

And it's time to say goodbye to yesterday
          A7+/9 

If this goodbye hurts I'm sorry
         F#(5#)         F# 

But it's got to be this way
          D7+/9          Dm7/9         A7+

'Cos it's time to say goodbye to yesterday

Verse 3:
Well, I used to think I was stuck on red
Now I know that it was all in my head
But I'm done making excuses
Can't fool myself, it's useless
I'll follow my own lead instead
A part of me so keen to see
What I will find if I just leave it all, leave it all behind

Out of Sight Out Of Mind by Level 42

Intro: | Em7 /B | C7+ /B | G/A A7| x N

Verse 1:
Em7
I remember your goodbye
C7+
And the late december sky
G/A A7
Seems so long ago
Em7
You were standing on the quay
C7+
And you blew a kiss to me
G/A A7
I was sad to go

Pre-Chorus:
Dm7
The ship began to pull away
Gm
Then I heard a stranger say
C7/9
It's sad to see true lovers part
A7/4 A7
cause sometimes lovers feel a change of heart
Em7 /B C7+ /B A7
Out of sight and out of mind

Verse 2:
Well the strangers words came true
And the prophecy went through
I knew it would change my world
Cause when I called your home
A whispered conversation I overheard

Pre-Chorus:
I asked you what was going on
You said that I'd been gone too long
And the rain that fell in West Berlin
Was nothing like the rain that fell within
Out of sight and out of mind

Chorus:
Bm7 G7+ A7 F/G
Oh, Regine Here am I
Bm7 G7+ A7
So far away Out of sight, out of mind
Bm7 G7+ A7 F/G
Love has gone But I will shine
Bm7 G7+ A7
Day after day I will take what love I find

Verse 3:
So I made some other plans
Took my life in these two hands
And I know I won?t turn around
Though I often see your face
When I'm in a crowded place
It doesn't get me down

Pre-Chorus:
I met a girl with smiling eyes
Full of love and worldly wise
She told me she knows what to do
To help me put the memories of you
Out of sight and out of mind

Chorus:
Oh, Regine Here am I
So far away Out of sight, out of mind
Love has gone But I will shine
Day after day I will take what love I find

And here's the short and narrow
I've nothing left to offer you

Chorus:

All cried out - you took whole lot of loving with and handful of nothing
All cried out - It's hard to give you something when you're pushing and a shoving me around.

So don't look surprised - there was no disguise.
You knew where I stood from the start
So, stop! Look around you - you're right back where I found you
Take back your cold and empty heart.
