ABOUT

Youtube Songbook

It’s been more than 5 years since I started posting videos on

Youtube. After all this time I realised that I have a pretty decent

collection of songs, so I decided to put together a songbook to

share with all of you followers out there.

For this first issue of the ‘Youtube Songbook’ published on the 16th

of January 2013 I have selected a list of 40 songs based on the

clips from my Youtube channel. You can refer to those clips to

better understand how to play the songs.

Thanks a lot for all your loving and support. I wish you enjoy using

this book and find it useful. I would love to get your feedback

through my website or Facebook page.

hugs from Costa Rica

you will need written in order of apperance from left to right. You will

also find the chord names over the lyrics indicating where they

[ RAP ]

Loving you is a like a song I replayEvery three minutes and thirty seconds of every dayAnd every chorus was written for us to reciteEvery beautiful melody of devotion every nightIt's potion like this ocean that might carry meIn a wave of emotion to ask you to marry meAnd every word, every second, and every thirdExpresses the happiness more clearly than ever heardAnd when I play them, every chord is a poemTelling the Lord how grateful I am cause I know himThe harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress If you asking then I'm telling you it's yesStand in love, take my hand in love, God bless

I want to give you some good, good lovingI want to give you some loveI want to give you some good, good lovingOh I, oh I, oh II wanna give you some good, good loving

Am7 D9 GM7 G7#5 It could all be so simple

Am7 D9 GM7 G7#5 But you'd rather make it hard

Am7 D9 GM7 G7#5 Loving you is like a battle

Am7 D9 GM7 G7#5 And we both end up with scars

Am7 D9 GM7 G7#5 Tell me, who I have to be

Am7 D9 GM7 G7#5 To get some reciprocity

Am7 D9 GM7 G7#5 No one loves you more than me

Am7 D9 GM7And no one ever will

A

Is this just a silly gameThat forces you to act this way?Forces you to scream my nameThen pretend that you can't stayTell me, who I have to beTo get some reciprocityNo one loves you more than meAnd no one ever will

B

Am7No matter how I think we grow GM7You always seem to let me know Am7 GM7It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (No, it ain't workin') Am7And when I try to walk away GM7You'd hurt yourself to make me stay Am7 GM7This is crazy, this is crazy (This is crazy, uh-huh!)

A

I keep letting you back inHow can I explain myself?As painful as this thing has beenI just can't be with no one elseSee I know what we've got to doYou let go, and I'll let go too'Cause no one's hurt me more than youAnd no one ever will

B

[Chorus]Care for me, care for me! I know you care for me!There for me, there for me! Said you'd be there for me!Cry for me, cry for me! You said you'd die for me!Give to me, give to me! Why won't you live for me?!
