All You Want
by:
Dido

INTRO:


I'd like to watch you sleep at night

To hear you breathe by my side



And although sleep leaves me behind
There's nowhere I'd rather be


VERSO 1:
C            A#           F         C
And now our bed is oh so cold
         A#         F                   C      A#
My hands feel empty, with no one to hold
F          C               A#        F
I can sleep what side I want
              C A#           F        C
It's not the same with you gone


PRECHORUS
A#                     G#
Oh if you'd come home
I'll let you know that


CHORUS
C  A#         F
All you want
C                   A#
Is right here in this room
F  C         A#
All you want
  F   C        A# F               C       A#
And all you need is sitting here with you
F     C       A#  F  C  A#
All you want


VERSO 2
F              C                     A#    F
It's been three years, one night apart
            C   A#               F     C
But in that night you tore my heart
A#          F               C     A#
If only you had slept alone,
          F  C             A#     F
If those seeds had not been sown


PRECHORUS
A#                     G#
Oh if you'd come home
I'll let you know that


CHORUS
C  A#         F
All you want
C                   A#
Is right here in this room
F  C         A#
All you want
  F   C        A# F               C       A#
And all you need is sitting here with you
F     C
All


BRIDGE:
A#               G# 
I hear your key turning in the door
A#                  G# 
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
A#                   G# 
And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in
A#                                          G# 
Send my regards to her i hope you've found that


CHORUS
C  A#         F
All you want
C                   A#
Is right here in this room
F  C         A#
All you want
  F   C        A# F               C       A#
And all you need is sitting here with you
F     C       A#  F  C  A#  F  C  A#  F
All you want              Want....



I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side.

Life For Rent
by:
Dido

Am                                           F  
I havent really ever found a place that I call home
Am                                        F
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
Am                                     F
I apologise that once again Im not in love
Am                                                    F
But its not as if I mind that your heart aint exactly breaking
  G7                      G7
Its just a thought, only a thought
  C         G           F      C         G           F  
But if my life is for rent and I dont lean to buy
C               G           F
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
C           G                 F
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Am                                           F
Ive always thought that I would love to live by the sea
Am                                              F
To travel the world alone and live my life more simply
Am                                     F
I have no idea whats happened to that dream
Am                                         F
Cos theres really nothing left here to stop me
G7                      G7
Its just a thought, only a thought
C            G           F      C         G         F
But if my life is for rent and I dont learn to buy
 C               G           F 
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
C               G           F            
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
C                    G             F
While my heart is a shield and I wont let it down
C                       G         F             G
While I am so afraid to fail so I wont even try
F                      G
Well how can I say Im alive

If my life is for rent

Intro: Gm Bb EbD7


     Gm Bb  EbD7     Gm     BbEb D7
What I choose to do is of no concern to you and your friends
      Gm     Bb          Eb D7
Where I lay my hat may not be my home
 Gm      Bb      Eb  D7
But I will last on my own

          GmBb           
'Cause it's me,
     Eb   D7
and my life,
      Gm
it's my life



     Gm Bb         Eb D7            Gm       Bb Eb D7
Oh the world has sat in the palm of your hand not that you'd see
 Gm   Bb   Eb       D7    
And I'm tired and bored of waiting for you
  Gm             Bb          Eb D7  
And all those things you never do


          GmBb           
'Cause it's me,
     Eb D7
and my life,
      Gm
it's my life

Intro
Am F Am F

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
Am           F                   G         C      Em     Am

The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
Am            F                 G        C        Em     Am

And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
Am              F         G                     C      Em     Am

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
Am     F                Am                F

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
Am           F                    G                C          Em      Am

I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again
Am            F                   G               C        Em    Am

And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
Am       F                      G                C         Em       Am

And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and
Am            F                Am               F

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
C           F                          C              F

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
C          F                          Em             Dm

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
C                           F                                  C

Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
C                     F                      C

And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
C                           F                              Em

Because you're near me and
              Dm

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
C           F                          C              F

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.

White Flag 
by:
Dido

Intro:   F    Am

Verse 1:

Dm
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Am
I'll tell you that
Dm
But if I didn't say it
Dm
Well, I'd still have felt it
Am
Where's the sense in that?


Pre-Chorus:

C
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Dm   Am
Or return to where we were



Chorus:

Bb               F
Well I will go down with this ship
          Gm          Dm
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
   Bb             F
There will be no white flag above my door
     C                   Dm
I'm in love and always will be



Verse 2:

Dm
I know I left too much mess
                      Am
And destruction to come back again
             Dm
And I caused nothing but trouble
                         Am
I understand if you can't talk to me again


Pre-Chorus:

C
And if you live by the rules of "It's over"
DmAm
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

(Chorus)


Bridge:
F
And when we meet

As I'm sure we will
Dm
All that was then

Will be there still

Gm
I'll let it pass

And hold my tongue
    C
And you will think
C
That I've moved on

Chorus x 2


Chorus (one strum only or piano):

Bb                                 F
I will go down with this ship
                  Gm                              Dm
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
                    Bb                                F
There will be no white flag above my door
         C                        Dm
I'm in love and always will be
