Eb Cm Eb Cm
Eb Cm Ab Bb
Woke up to find what my heart had done
Eb Cm AB Bb
He had us in peril, put us on the run
Eb Cm Ab Bb
Were dodging Cupid's arrows as we try flee
Eb Cm Ab Bb
Gotta distance your heart from the one in me
Chorus
Eb Cm Ab Bb (Eb Cm) x2
Because he unexpectedly fell in love with you
Eb Cm Ab Bb (Eb Cm) x2
Ya he unexpectedly fell in love with you
Eb Cm Ab Bb (Eb Cm) x2
Now we gotta figure out just what were gonna do
Eb Cm Ab Bb (Eb Cm) x2
Because he unexpectedly fell in love with you
Eb Cm Ab Bb
He said "just stick to thinkin cause you're just the brains"
E Cm Ab Bb
And I'm the heart, and the one with the reins
Eb Cm Ab Bb
But he's got us at a gallop, it's a frightening pace
Eb Cm Ab Bb
Trying to out run your beautiful face

School Days
Words: Kyle Smith: Music: Jack & Ernest Allee & Kyle Smith
E D A
Well I’m up at five o’ clock
E D A
To pay these bills that never stop
E D A
My soul’s already been pawned
E D A
It just keeps going on and on
Chorus
D5
I want those school days back again
E5 A5
With my beat up old car and all my rowdy friends
D5
I want those school days back again
E5 D5 A5
When nothing really mattered at all
D5
We didn’t care if we’d lose or win
E5 D5 A5
I want those school days back again
E D A
Oh the TV’s on the blink
E D A
I need something so my mind won’t think
E D A
The wife says the kids need this
E E A
What happened to those years of bliss
Chorus Then Bridge
E D A
When Friday comes a man’s gotta pay
E
D A
But the Congress (bankers?) takes it all away
E D A
They all want what I ain’t got

I’d rob a bank but I know I’d be shot

Inside Your Heart
Lyrics: Kyle Smith Music: Ernest & Jack Alee & Kyle S.
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
There’s four days of snow lying on the ground
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
We’re completely cut off from everything in town
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
Now ain’t it a pity that all we have to do
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
Is cuddle up and keep each other from turning blue
Chorus
F C G
It’s so warm inside your heart (x2)
F C G
Mmm mmm so warm
F C G [D C, G C Cmaj7] (2x)
It’s so warm inside your heart
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
Icicles are hanging from my window sill
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
The wind outside is cold enough to kill
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
Me I’m stayin I’m stayin toasty warm
G C Cmaj7 G C Cmaj7
Just lying here wrapped in your charms

Milk and Honey
Lyrics & Music by: Kyle Smith
Circa 2004
D A5 (2X)
D5 G5 A5
I drive my old beater through my rundown neighborhood
D5 G5 A5
I go to work each day and pay my bills just like I should
D5 G5 A5
But when the end of the month comes a rollin’ around
D5 G5 A5
There’s never nothing left in this meager bank account
CHORUS
C D
I’m livin’ in a land of milk and honey
C D
A place they say has wealth and plenty
C D
But for some the days aren’t that sunny
A G D D A5 (2X)
“Cause a hand-full of people don’t share the money
D5 G5 A5
I make the minimum wage and get burnt for overtime
D5 G5 A5
Being under educated seems to be some kind of crime
D5 G5 A5
My friend told the boss he could really use a raise
D5 A5 G5
Now he knows how much unemployment pays
CHORUS
C D
I’m livin’ in a land of milk and honey
C D
A place they say has wealth and plenty
C D
But for some the days aren’t that sunny
A G D D A5 (2X)
“Cause a hand-full of people don’t share the money
BRIDGE
E5 B5 A5
I know I’m no big-time CEO
E5 B5 A5
But just like them I have a family with needs, you know
E5 B5 A5
There are plenty of fruit in this great old American pie
E5 B5 A5 B5
All I’m asking is for my fair slice
E5 B5 A5 B5

The Canvas
Words and music by: Kyle Smith
D Dsus4 A Asus4
I made no mistake; you’re a work of art
E A
An artist in your own right at tearing lives apart
D Dsus4 A Asus4
Like a master with her brush you paint a world you want to see
G E A
Those who don’t fit your pallet you leave in misery
Chorus
D Em C G
Now my paint-by-numbers world is melancholy blue
D Em C G
All the happy colors have been washed away by you
D Em C G
Yeah, my paint-by-numbers world is melancholy blue
D Em G C
Everywhere I look see hues of you
D Dsus4 A Asus4
You were a portrait, a masterpiece it’s true
E A
And like some twisted connoisseur, I had to have you
D Dsus4 A Asus4
To place upon my mantle, for all my friends to see
G E A
Now I wish I’d never known your wicked artistry

Promises
Words & Music: Kyle Smith
G D
There is a mom filing divorce papers today
C G
Says she’s had it with the day-to-day
D
Think there’s more to this life
C G
Than being a mom and being a wife
D
There’s a daddy being hauled away
C G
Beat his kids one too many days
G D
Let a bottle rule his life
C G
Went a shattered all their lives
Chorus
Am Bm
Another family heads for hell
Am G
All for the sound of the wedding bells
Am Bm
Vows come easy, wedding cake is sweet
Am Em
But matrimony ain’t for the weak
G D
Jack and Jill don’t understand
C G
Why momma got herself a brand new man
D
Dick and Jane are so confused
C G
Why daddy got mean when he got that booze
G D
They’re the ones that pay the price
C G
When mommies and daddies don’t play nice
D
They take their pain and they pack it away
C G
And carry that baggage ‘till their dying day
Chorus
Bridge
F C
Little hearts are at stake
G Em
They don’t mend once they break
F C
Compromise is the only game
G Em
Better damn be willing to make a change

Mall Monkeys
Words and Music by: Kyle Smith
[D A E A (x2) E A E A]
A D A
They live in a world unknown to me
E A
Mesmerized by a cable TV
D A
Ask their opinion they have the same view
E A
They got it last night on the network news
Chorus:
E A
Monkey see, monkey do
D A
They follow like sheep: two by two
(x2)
(Refrain)
D A
They get their looks at the department store
E A
Seems like I’ve seen that somewhere before
D A
You gotta look like this, gotta smell like that
E A
And if you don’t, baby, you don’t know where it’s at
(Chorus & Refrain)
Bridge:
D A
News is being reported, but not all’s being told
G C#min
Has Wall Street got you in its fold?
D A
Something’s being bought or someone’s being sold
G C#min
Has Madison Avenue got you in its hold?
(Chorus)

Mother Nature
Lyrics: Kyle Smith Music: Jack & Ernest Allee & Kyle Smith
G C G C
She’s given birth to all that we see
G C G C
And every day she plants a new seed
G C G C
Her and father time sit back to watch it grow
G D C C
It’s been a busy day but they both know
G C G
Today is over and a new day has just began
G C G
But they have a problem with their child man
G C G
He’s gone astray he’s wandered so far away
D C G
Now all the other children have to pay
Chorus
F C G
Mother Nature won’t you help your troubled son
F C G
It’s been so long that he’s been on the run
F C G
Mother Nature won’t you help your troubled son
F C E7 Am
Mother Nature I’m your son
G C G C
All the other children live in harmony
G C G C
Except for man who’s been overcome by greed
G C G C
He’s leaving Earth a tomb for what he calls progress
D C G
Never looking forward to see a future in distress
D C Gsus4
He’s damming up the canyons where waters used to flow
D C Gsus4
Leveling back country where the forests used to grow
D C Gsus4
Turning blue skies into a choking brown
D C G
Filling quiet meadows with the roar of urban sound
Chorus
