Seven Days

(Capo 2)

C G/B C G/B

DAY 1

The lecture hall was full
Though who really cares for math?
We met and gave our names
But nothing more than that

Am7 G

And we saw that it was good
The first day

DAY 2

A few months down the line
You're playing cards with friends
You dealt me in a hand
Though you'd forgot we'd met

Am7

But I did not forget

C Em C G C

'Cause I cannot look away
When it feels like the world is being remade
Even if it's over after seven days

DAY 3

You love my smile
I love that way you bob your head
You say we should catch a film
A hint I fail to get

It's the third day, but I'm not ready yet

C Em D (x3)

DAY 4

But after exams are done we stay up overnight
Just talking with friends
But soon as I wake up I finally decide
This wait has to end
I go to your place and ask if you would like
To have a boyfriend...

DAY 5

On a climbing frame in winter
Gazing into your eyes
I've burned so long to kiss ya
And now the moment's right

And all the world is light

And I cannot look away
'Cause it feels like the world is being remade
Even if it's over after seven days
Even if it's over after seven days

DAY 6

The new world is a mountain
And we're here are at the top
Watching other couples rise
They just as quickly drop

But we're in love full stop

C G C G

Yeah we're in love, yeah we're in love
And we shout it out, and we shout it out
Yeah we're in love, yeah we're in love
And we shout, we shout aloud, we shout

C Em Am

Hoo...
Hoo...
Hoo...

DAY 7

But the lenses fall away
And we're just kids, alone
It's come the seventh day
And lo we're breaking up

Am G/B Am

'Cause kids don't know enough
No, kids don't know enough
To give themselves to love

Wish I could be a fly on the wall
that's so I could watch my fall
day to day a little wet outside
can't keep dry no matter how I try

Chorus
people talkin, people walkin
but I keep rockin on

This could be my captive role
keep tryin hard just to make that goal
I can't see all the rot inside
even though it looks more dead than alive

Chorus

Bridge
Whirlwind on the line
words that just won't rhyme


Put my heartache to the side
stopped my pride and toe the line
I can't see what they really want
seven days gone and there's still no song

Chorus

Paco del Stinko - Seven Days

I went away for seven days, and on the first day it kind of rained
I stayed inside, but I didn't mind
There's no way I could complain

Six more days I wasn't home, and on the second the sun done shone
I hit the beach, two drinks of each
And I was glad I didn't have my phone

Two days gone and five to go, I leapt from bed like Geronimo
I saw the ruins, barracuda was chewing
And left the cliff far down below

Seven days - Seven days


At the crest of number four, I left my modesty at the door
A mighty skewer, I wish I had fewer
And the company you can't ignore

Day five began the downward slope, I would start over but I could only hope
Two masks came harder, some simple barter
And in the shallow water I did float

Seven days - Seven days

On the sixth day of the week, out on the patio I went to eat
A flaming snow, and fires burning below
Gave me the will I needed to repeat

So I arrived at my seventh day, a reddened jacket displaying my stay
When palm trees bent, it only meant
That come the morning I must go away

Seven days - Seven days
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Got a ukelele, gonna learn to play
Gonna learn the ukelele in seven days
Got a good book, gonna read it through
Then I'm gonna play my ukelele for you.

First day I learned how to tune the strngs
Second day I learned about frets and things
Third day I learned how to read the score
Figured out tabs by the end of day four
Learned some chords in a short day five
Sixth day things started coming alive
By the time I got to the end of day seven
I was rockin' my world in a ukelele heaven.

Seven Days. By G.U.N.S.

The way of the world has changed
The walls have crumbled down
And I can only sing so loud

But everyone hears the sound
The DJ is a memory
And I don't want your MTV

I lit a fire
Now it's gone viral
In seven days everyone will know my name

No longer does my soul belong to a record company
You got your own brand of your insanity
One of the most dangerous of your personalities

The way of the girl has changed
She is gonna break you down
You can only stand so much

All you've done is bring me heartache
All I wanted was your attention

I lit a fire
Now it's gone viral
In seven days everyone will know my name

Seven Days by Johnny & The Rays
Being a song for Mr. Rick Santorum.

Give me
Seven days to prove you wrong
Though I doubt I’ll need that long
I’ll have proof within the day
Take the rest as holiday

Oh so much is said
When you shake your head
Know within the week
You will taste defeat

in just seven days (ba ba ba) x2

You’re not ready for the truth
The last thing that you want is proof
I can’t win if I can’t fight
Give me time to prove I’m right

Seven days were good enough for God to make your earth
I won’t need that long to grind your world into the dirt
