21st Century Lovers 12/18/14 Dm G F C Dm Bought a ticket on an airplane In the good old USA To meet a stranger in Ukraine We barely knew each others names Chorus F C Dm 21st Century lovers So close yet so far Lonely people daily searching Wondering who and what they are I met her on some website Where all the lonely people go Something about us just felt so right We both knew we had to know Chorus F C Dm 21st Century lovers So close yet so far Lonely people daily searching Wondering who and what they are Dm G F C Dm There are people who would judge us Say love from desperation born To stay with one's own kind, is a must And from the mold not be torn Chorus F C Dm 21st Century lovers So close yet so far Lonely people daily searching Wondering who and what they are I think that we may upset them Those with timid frightened souls Yearnings they can't comprehend Or just don't have, the balls to go Chorus F C Dm 2x 21st Century lovers So close yet so far Lonely people daily searching Wondering who and what they are So close yet so far 21st Century lovers are Copyright 2014 Michael McNulty

Adios Old Friend 12/3/14 G D I already sang about “Old Friends” Back “East and West” way I guess no one heard me or listened To what I was trying to say Em C G C Em G D G People change for bad or for good Take for granted what was the best Just moving on with their own lives Don't worry at all about the rest Chorus G C So Adios old friend See you down the trail All things must end Friendship ain't for sale D G When old friendships up and they die Adios my old friend goodbye Friends seem to come and to go Like the the seasons that never last Having learned in my life this is so Hard lessons drawn from the past Even family can drift away From times remembered long ago Having nothing much left to say Moving on not meaning to go Chorus G C So Adios old friend See you down the trail All things must end Friendship ain't for sale D G When old friendships up and they die Adios my old friend goodbye I never realized this was so Back when I was so young That people I love might go And my friendship they would shun But life ain't just we what make it Sometimes it goes its own way Never take for granted a friendship Someday it just might go away Chorus G C D G 2x When old friendships up and they die Adios my old friend goodbye Copyright 2014 Michael McNulty

Everybody Needs a Rebound From Their Rebound 02:36

Rebound 9/30/2014 Em C D Everybody needs a rebound from their rebound Different voices same old sad sound Endless circles spinning round and round Just when you think you've found the answer Your mind's made up to go romance her Next thing you know you're homeward bound Chorus Em D C How we wish to break the circle And win the prize at last In a world defies commitment Why repeat the past Everybody needs a rebound from their rebound Seeking that which they have not yet found Trying to keep their feet solid on the ground There's something yearning deep inside us Can't be alone but can't abide us Buying all our flesh by the pound Chorus Everybody wants a rebound for their rebound Can't be lost but cannot be found Never really knowing where we are at No time for thinking just keep on seeking Sailing in circles while the ship is leaking Still trying to get another chance at bat Chorus 2x Everybody needs a rebound from their rebound Everybody needs a rebound from their rebound Rebound Copyright 2014 Michael J.

Ghosts Of US Highway 89 9/30/2014 Em D 1 Breaking up's the easiest thing to do Later you won't even have a clue Taking love for granted causes pain Love can die so hard it's such a shame Em D C D Chorus Living with the ghosts of lovers past Out on US Highway 89 There's no warmth, just emptiness When you leave your love behind There was no way to say goodbye Didn't know would I live or die Hit me like a summer's thunderbolt Never knew a woman quite so cold Chorus Living with the ghosts of lovers past Out on US Highway 89 There's no warmth, just emptiness When you leave your life behind 4x Don't leave your life behind I don't want to tell you what to do My minds made up I just can't be like you But if you ever wish to love again Leave that selfish place where you've been Chorus Living with the ghosts of lovers past Out on US Highway 89 There's no warmth, just emptiness When you leave your life behind 8x Don't leave your life behind Back round You won't find an answer In memories idolized Trying to forget her Never live a lie Someday when you look back Lover at your side Now you know a horse that Was never worth the ride Copyright 10/1/2014 Michael J.

Never Too Late To Love 12/25/14 D A G 4x Never too late to love Long as you can still feel When it comes to push and shove Just your age don't make it real Chorus A Em A Em A Em G B I won't listen to them talking I will not be blamed Gonna keep on just a walking I will not be shamed! Some may think that you're a fool Playing younger people's games Going against all the rules Thinking you should be ashamed Chorus A Em A Em A Em G B I won't listen to them talking I will not be blamed Gonna keep on just a walking I will not be shamed! Younger people may feel outrage Their ignorance deserves a break Even people my own age Often their own misery make Chorus A Em A Em A Em G B I won't listen to them talking I will not be blamed Gonna keep on just a walking I will not be shamed! And if you're sad and all alone No matter circumstance or age Find your heart a loving home Give your life a brand new day Chorus Em A Em A Em A I won't listen to them talking I will not be blamed Gonna keep on just a walking I will not be shamed And I won't listen to them talking (Fade To End) I will not be blamed Gonna keep on just a walking I will not be shamed mmmmm mmmmm Copyright 2014 Michael McNulty

Free Ukraine (An American View) 1/22/2015 G Em D C My love comes from Ukraine She says they must be free.

Rock On Michael Rock On 12/1/2014 G C A D People say I sing a sad song Maybe I should lighten up Perhaps they've got me all wrong Sipping halfway empty cups So if you buy my albums Or come and see me up on stage You can say what you want to Won't probably listen anyway Chorus Em C A D Rock on... Michael rock on Michael Michael rock on Rock on... Michael rock on Play your own honest songs I try to sing about whats going on In this crazy head of mine And I hope that somewhere in my songs There is something you can find I send out CDs of my latest tracks To friends and others in my life Rarely do I ever hear back I don't get angry but I might Chorus Em C A D So, rock on... Michael rock on Michael Michael rock on Rock on... Michael rock on Play your own honest songs So if you find my songs offensive Or perhaps a little bit too sad Maybe you should be more pensive About the good life that you've had Yeah people say I sing a sad song Ought to be happier day to day Maybe I've just got it wrong Or it's all I really have to say Chorus Em C A D Yeah, rock on... Michael rock on Michael Michael rock on Rock on... Michael rock on Play your own honest songs G C FADE Rock on Rock on Michael rock on Rock on, rock on Copyright 2014 Michael McNulty
