Chords for The Axis of Awesome perform on Red Nose Day 2011

_ _ Hello, I'm Jordan.
I'm Lee.
And we are the Axis of Awesome.
I'm Benny.
Benny.
Now, we've been a rock and roll comedy band for 40 years now, and we've never had a hit.
Yeah, the reason for that is we never wrote a four chord song.
See, all the biggest pop songs ever written just use four chords.
_ [A] One, [Bm] two, [G] three, [D] four chords.
That's all you need to write pop songs.
I'll show you what I mean.
_ You recognise [A] this?
Yeah, that is Don't Stop Believing by [Bm] Journey.
And the cast of Glee.
There's a few [G] more songs with the same chords.
Check it out.

[G] Papa, papa, I _ [D] _ _
_ [A] _ can't believe, without, [Bm] without you.
[G] _ _ Pictures [D] of you, _ pictures [A] of me, hung upon [Bm] your wall for the world [G] to see.

When I find [A] myself in times of trouble, [Bm] Mother Mary [G] comes to [D] me.
[A] Up, up from a land [Bm] down under.
[G] _ They say [D] that Taylor [A] was a good girl, never one to be [Bm] late.
From plain express [G] ideas in her brain.
[D] I've made [A] some love like I've never needed love [Bm] before.

[Bm] There's [G] nothing that a hundred men [D] or more can [A] ever do.
I'm here, [Bm] ma'am, [G] once again.
[D] I'm caught [A] in a prison, [Bm] just denying [G] everything.
[D] Just thought you [A] were the one.
[Bm] Despite [G] all my rage, [D] I can see you're [A] just a rat in a cage.
[Bm] What have you got?
[G] What's one of [D] us?
_ [A] _ [Bm] Tell me, why'd you have to [G] go make things so [D]
complicated?
[A] I see the [Bm] way you're acting like a hero.
I [D] know she's playing [A] with me.
_ [B] Well, [G] that's okay, cause [D] I got no self [A]-esteem.
[Bm] When I'm playing on the [G] island, I'm just disguised.
[D] In a perfect morning.
_ [A] _
_ You're [Bm] so beautiful.
_ [G] _
_ So [D] damn beautiful.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ [Bm] Too late to [G] apologize.
_ _ _ [D] Too late.
[A] _
_ _ [Bm] Just gonna stand there and watch [G] me burn.
That's [D] alright, because I like the [A] way it hurts.
[Bm] It's my _ life.
[G] It's now or [D] never.
_ I [A] ain't gonna live [Bm] forever.
Can't read my, [G] can't read my, no he can't read [D] my poker face.
[A] Come on, Bobby, let's [Bm] go party.
Oh, _ [G]
I'm gonna lose _ [D] my mind.
_ [A] _
_ Separate [Bm] my double rainbow all the [G] way across the sky.
[D] Yeah, yeah, [A] _
so intense.
[Bm] _ _ Enjoy [G] yourself.
There's only [D] what you need.
Promise.
[A] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ A friendly [G] object.
_ [D] Won't you find to [A] _
_ say [Bm] goodbye?
_ [G] He did it on his own [D] top of the day.
Should all _ [A] acquaintance be forgot?
I [Bm] never [G] thought you might.
I'm more [D] than a fool.
I'm more [A] than a plane.
I'm [Bm] a bird plane.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ Doesn't that [D] sound familiar?
Doesn't [A] that get you close to home?
Doesn't that [Bm] make you shiver?
The way that [G] things have gone?
It doesn't that [D] seem peculiar?
Does everyone [A] want a little more?
It's something [Bm] I do remember.
To never go this [G] far.
That's all it takes to be [D] a star. _ _ _ _ _
