Chords for Axis of Awesome - 4 Four Chord Song (with song titles)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ Good evening [Dm] ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jordan.
[D#] I'm Lee.
And I'm Benny.
We are the Axis of Awesome.
And I'm Benny.
We've been a comedy rock band for close to 40 years now.
[F#]
And all that time we've never had a hit.
Yeah, but [A] you guys know why?
Why?
Because we never wrote a four chord [D] song.
What's that?
What's a four chord song, Benny?
All the greatest hits from the past 40 years just use four chords.
Same four chords for every song.
It's dead simple to write a pop hit.
Just four?
Yeah, yeah, [E] yeah, these four, here.
[B] One, [C#m] two, [A] three, four chords.
Sorry, let me get this straight, Chicken Little.
What you're [N] trying to say is you can take those four chords, repeat them, and pump out every pop song ever.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah.
Fuck off.
Yeah, fuck off, Chicken Little.
_ _ Just listen.
[E] _ _
Do you [B] recognise this?
Yeah, that is [C#] Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
It's a great song.
Very original song.
There's a [A] few more that fit.
Check it out.
_ [E]
My life is brilliant, [B] my love is pure.
[C#m] I saw an [A] angel, of that I'm sure.
Well, that's just two [E] songs that are similar.
That's not a good one.
Forever [B] _ young, I [C#m] wanna be forever [A] _ _
young.
_ [E] I won't _ [B] hesitate no more, [C#m] no more.
It [A] cannot wait, I'm yours.
[E] This is the way [B] you left me, I'm not pretending.
[C#m] No luck, no hope, no [A] glory, no happy [E] ending. _
Cause you [B] were _ amazing, [C#m] _ _
you [F#m] created [A] amazing _ [E]
things.
If I [B] could, then I [C#m]
would.
I'd go [A] wherever _ you [E] will go.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [A] And she [E] _ will [B] be loved, yeah [C#m] she will [A] be loved. _
[E] Pictures of you, _ pictures of [B] me, hung up on your [C#m] wall.
All the world [A] to see.
Cause I [E] can't _ _ _ [B] live with [C#m] or without _ _ [A] you.
Whenever I [E] fall _ _ [B] _
at your [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A]
feet, you let [E] your tears.
Am I [B] not pretty _ [C#] enough?
_ _ _ [A]
I'm too young.
_ _ Double time?
[E] Double time!
When I find [B] myself in times of [C#m] trouble, Mother [A] Mary comes to [E] me.
[B] Sometimes I feel [C#m] like I don't [A] have a partner.
[E] _ That's [B] the way it's gonna be, [A] little _ _ [E] darling.
[B] We'll go riding on our [A]
horses, yeah [E] yeah.
[B] No woman, [C#m] no cry.
[A] Yeah, mama, this surely is a [E] dream.
I come [B] from a land down [C#m] under.
[A] _ _ [E] One such [B] only swag [A] man can't hide the [E] bones in [B] his heart.
[C#m] Darling, _ [A] _ _ [E] _ [B] take [C#m] me out.
[A] _ _ [E] _ [B] I'll be [C#m] gone.
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ [B] It's [C#m] gonna [A] take a lot to [E] drag you away [B] from me.
[C#m]
There's [A] nothing that a hundred [E] men or more could [B] ever do.
[C#m] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] I [B] think I would [C#m] understand.
Well [A] that's okay [E] cause I got no [B] self esteem.
[C#m] With a thousand [A] eyes and a good disguise.
[E] In a right between the eyes.
[B] In a right between the eyes.
[C#m] Cause I'm not here [A] for your entertainment.
[E] _
You don't really [B] wanna mess with me [C#m] tonight.
Can't read my, [A] can't read my, no he can't read my [E] poker _ [B] face.
Come on Bobby, let's go [C#] party.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
You found [B] me, you found [C#m] me.
She wants to touch me, [A] woo hoo.
She wants to love me, [E] woo hoo.
She'll never leave me, [B] woo hoo.
Woo, oh, [C#m] oh, oh.
Enjoy [A] yourself.
Take only [E] what you need from [B] me.
_ _ _ [C#m] _
Take your [A] canvas bags.
Take your canvas [E]
bags.
Take your [B] canvas bags to the [C#m] supermarket.
Take your [A] canvas bags.
_ _ [E] _
_ I'm all [B] out of faith.
This is [C#m] how I feel.
I'm cold and I [A] am shamed.
Lying naked on [E] the floor.
Illusion [B] never changed.
Into [C#m] something real.
I'm wide [A] awake and I can see.
I'm more [E] _
_ than [B] a plane.
I'm [C#m] a bird plane.
[A] _ _ I'm [E] a bird [B] plane.
A motherfucking [C#m]
bird plane.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Doesn't that sound familiar?
Doesn't that [B] hit you close to home?
Doesn't that [C#m] make you shiver?
The way [A] that things have gone?
And doesn't that seem [E] peculiar?
Cause everyone [B] wants a little more.
It's something I do [C#m] remember.
To [A] never go this far.
That's all it takes to be [E] a star. _
