V1: It's been five years, Nine To Fives, working night's and overtime, I've sacrificed, cried out my eyes Success is over due but I'm-, Keeping my head up high when I know that nothing is guaranteed, Well here I am and I'm telling you that... CH: My life Today I Know where I wanna' go I'm not afraid to face the unknown I'll see tomorrow's ending (All I Know Is) V2: I remember when I was just a kid and this was but a dream, You couldn't keep me off of my guitar, I wrote hundreds of songs atleast, In the back of my mind I've always known that nothings guaranteed, Well here I am and I'm telling you that... -CH- -Break/Bridge: I WAS BORN FOR THIS, I AM WHO I AM, I'LL BE WHO I WANNA' BE, YOU HAVE NO SAY, I WAS BORN FOR THIS, -CH- Outro: My Life Today, Don't tell me that I can't when I know that I can, Are you with me? (if you're not well then you're against me)

Perfect Liar 03:01
Intro: I Take my things, You walk me to the door, Kiss you goodnight, I'll see you there at four, I hope that you don't blow me off again, Cause last time you left me hangin' and... V1: I Live a crazy Life, If you want in make up your mind (Think About It), We can be one of a kind but I just gotta' know, CH: Tell me how you want it, Am I even what you wanted?, Girl I know you're certified, a perfect liar, Common be honest, Show me where your heart is, If you hide it I will find it, Girl I know you're certified, a perfect liar, Common be honest with me, V2: Don't take me for the simple type, There is more to me than meets the eye (come tonight), I'm on at four and I hope you like this song that I wrote you, So I hope you... -CH- -Bridge: And I'm running low on time, Stop messin' around, It'll be alright, Don't leave me like this, (oh no) -CH- -Intro/outro-

I Have 03:04
V1: When the lights go out and you're left in the dark You are to walk alone in heavy fog When you see it's real, will you start to feel Regrets and admit your faults? It takes a man to face his own mistakes And admit at that point he's wrong Well here I am, I'm not perfect and I'm hoping it won't be long CH*A: I have hated I have wronged I have Stolen and broken I have bled I have cursed I have ruined I have lied I have cried And yet I have never betrayed ...You or anyone ...I Could never allow myself to sink that low If your whole worlds turned way upside down No warning sign, just in the blink of an eye Will you cower and run or stand and face the man In the mirror staring back at you? You know I've been there, done that There was a point in my past Where I forgot who the hell I was Through and epic down I found my way back up One thing that hasn't changed about me -CH- -Break- DON't DOUBT ME... I Have never betrayed... -CH*B: ...You or anyone ...I Could never allow myself to sink that low ...So you can go tell everyone ...I have nothing to hide, I've meant every word -CH*A/Outro-

V1: I grew up here, Scraped and scratched my hands and knees all up and down, Throughout these streets, these memories flood my dreams, Where could my old friends be? -CH: Cause I remember all the good times, Growing up through the wonder years, All of the friends I ever made, And school mate veterans who passed away, From the day we first said hello, To the last day we said goodbye, Sometimes I still find myself back in my hometown, Westchester V2: What's up, what's good?, Where have you been? I've missed you, How's life treating you?, This town looks the same like nothings changed -CH- -Break- -CH-
