LOVE SONGPiano & Background Vocals: Sara Bareilles Drums: Matt ChamberlainBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Stuart Mathis, Bruce WatsonProgramming: Jake Davies

Head under waterand they tell me to breathe easy for a whilethe breathing gets harder, even I know thatyou made room for me but it’s too soon to seeif I’m happy in your handsI’m unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pagesno easy way to say thisyou mean well, but you make this hard on me

I’m not gonna write you a love song’cause you asked for it’cause you need one, you seeI’m not gonna write you a love song’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking thisif you’re on your wayI’m not gonna write you to stayIf all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a betterreason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way that they all say things you want to hearand my heavy heart sinks deep down under you andyour twisted words,your help just hurtsyou are not what I thought you werehello to high and dry

Convinced me to please youmade me think that I need this tooI’m trying to let you hear me as I am

I’m not gonna write you a love song’cause you asked for it’cause you need one, you seeI’m not gonna write you a love song’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking thisif you’re on your wayI’m not gonna write you to stayIf all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a betterreason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you’ll leave the light onto help me see with daylight, my guide, gone ’cause I believe there’s a way you can love mebecause I say

I won’t write you a love song’cause you asked for it’cause you need one, you seeI’m not gonna write you a love song’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking thisis that why you wanted a love song’cause you asked for it ’cause you need one, you seeI’m not gonna write you a love song’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking thisif you’re on your wayI’m not gonna write you to stayif your heart is nowhere in itI don’t want it for a minuteBabe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe thatthere’s a reason to write you a love song today

VEGASPiano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeodBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Bruce Watson,Lyle Workman, Joel ShearerMelatron: Eric Ivan RossePercussion: Rafael Padilla

Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas’Cause somebody told me that’s where dreams would beGonna sell my car and go to VegasFinally see my name upon the Palace marquis

Gonna quit my job and move to New York’Cause somebody told me that’s where dreamers should go Gonna quit my job and move to New YorkAnd tattoo my body with every Broadway show.

Listen up now honey, you’re gonna be sorryCan’t get out from under a sky that is falling and you sayNo fame no money I’m nobody The way I’m running has sure got me down on my knees.But next stop, Vegas please.Gotta get to VegasCan you take me to Vegas?

Gonna sell my house and cross the border’Cause somebody told me dreams live in MexicoGonna sell my house I got to lose ten pounds and cross the borderAnd make sweet love upon the white sandy shore.

Listen up now honey, you’re gonna be sorryCan’t get out from under a sky that is falling and you sayNo fame no money I’m nobody The way I’m running has sure got me down on my knees.But next stop, Vegas please.

It’s always just around the corner or you’re on your way to somewhereThat is bigger or better… If you could only get thereIt’s never your fault you can’t start your own winning streakBut I’d hate to lose you to the fortune you seek

I’m gonna lose my mind and sail the ocean.’Cause somebody told me there were cherry blue skiesI’m gonna fix my mind with a final destinationAnd have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream I’ll never realize…no

Listen up now honey, you’re gonna be sorryCan’t get out from under a sky that is falling and you sayNo fame no money I’m nobody The way I’m running has sure got me down on my knees.Next stop, Vegas please.Can you take me to Vegas?

I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trustswith her delicate soul I don’t claim to know much except soon as you startto make room for the partsThat aren’t you it gets harder to bloom in a garden oflove love love loveLove Love love love

Only thing I ever could need, only one good thingworth trying to be and it’s

We can understand the sentiment you’re saying to usoh,But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up and get startedAt keeping your part of the bargain aw please little darlin’You’re killing me sweetly with love love love loveLove love love love

ONE SWEET LOVEAcoustic Guitar & Piano: Sara Bareilles Electric Grand Piano: Eric Ivan RosseDrums: Matt ChamberlainBass: Chris ChaneyElectric & Acoustic Guitar: Bruce Watson

Just about the time the shadows callI undress my mind and dare you to followPaint a portrait of my mysteryOnly close my eyes and you are here with meA nameless face to think I seeTo sit and watch the waves with me till they’re goneA heart I’d swear I’d recognize is made out of my own devices….could I be wrong?

CHORUSThe time that I’ve takenI pray is not wastedHave I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?

Sleepless nights you creep inside of mePaint your shadows on the breath that we shareYou take more than just my sanityYou take my reason not to care.No ordinary wings I’ll need the sky itself will carry me back to youThe things I dream that I can do I’ll open up

the moon for youJust come down soon

CHORUSThe time that I’ve takenI pray is not wastedHave I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breakingBut I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name ofone sweet love.

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on the southern rainAs I do, I don’t look don’t touch don’t do anything but hope that there is a you.

The earth that is the space between,I’d banish it from under me…to get to you.Your unexpected love provides my solitary’s suicide…oh I wish I knew

CHORUSThe time that I’ve takenI pray is not wastedHave I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breakingBut I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name ofone sweet love.

COME ROUND SOONPiano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeodBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Bruce Watson,Lyle Workman, Joel ShearerProgramming: Eric Ivan Rosse

I could use another cigaretteBut don't worry daddy, I’m not addicted yetOne too many drinks tonight and I miss youLike you were mine

All your stormy words have barely brokenAnd you sound like thunder though you’ve barely spokenOh, it looks like rain tonight and thank God’Cause a clear sky just wouldn't feel right.

CHORUSHe’s taken and leaving But I keep believingThat he’s gonna come round soon(He’ll come round soon I know)You may be my final match’Cause I chase everything when you play throw and I play catchIt never took much to keep me satisfiedBut all the bullshit you feed me you miss me you need meThis hungry heart will not subside

CHORUSHe’s taken and leaving But I keep believingThat he’s gonna come round soonUntil I see him again I’m staying believingThat it won’t be deceiving When he’s gonna come round

Well I may seem naive if I cry as you leave Like I’m just one more tortured heartThese cracks that I show as I’m watching you go aren’t tearing me apartI may seem naive if I cry as you leave Like I’m just one more tortured heartThese cracks that I show as I’m watching you go aren’t tearing me apart

The angels said I’d smile todayWell who needs angels anyway?

CHORUS

MORNINGSIDEPiano & Fender Rhodes: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeodBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Bruce Watson,Lyle Workman, Joel ShearerPercussion: Rafael Padilla

I’m not scared of you nowOr so I sayThere’s no reason to run Although I mayI’m not as sure as I seemThis much I knowWhat does it mean when you leave and I follow…

CHORUSI could try to forget what you do when I let you getThrough to me but then you do it over againI could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain I desire ’Till you get to me on my morningside

Keep my distance I triedNo useBut no matter the milesI’m back to you

CHORUSI could try to forget what you do when I let you getThrough to me but then you do it over againI could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain I desire ’Till you get to me on my morningsideLet me down you say never, baby blues, don’t you everI’m used to being one with the misfortune to findAfternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder What it looks like here on my morningside

Look back, don’t you dare let me start to do thatI don’t care if the things that I haveOnly make me afraid to lose I Need to let goNeed to want to keep letting you knowThat we both have a reason to followLong as we let this lead I’m barely breathing

CHORUSI try to forget what you do to me but then you do it over again I could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain ’Till you get to me on my morningsideLet me down you say never, baby, don’t you everI’m used to being one with the misfortune to findAfternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder What it looks like here on my morningside

BETWEEN THE LINESPiano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Matt ChamberlainBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Stuart Mathis

Time to tell me the truth To burden your mouth for what you sayNo pieces of paper in the way’Cause I can’t continue pretending to chooseThe opposite sides on which we fallThe loving you laters if at allNo right minds could wrong be this many times.

My memory is cruelI’m queen of attention to detailsDefending intentions if he failsUntil now, he told me her nameIt sounded familiar in a wayI could have sworn I’d heard him say it ten thousand timesIf only I had been listening.

CHORUSLeave unsaid unspokenEyes wide shut unopenedYou and meAlways between the linesBetween the lines

I thought I was ready to bleedThat we’d move from the shadows on the wallAnd stand in the center of it all.Too late two choices to stay or to leaveMine was so easy to uncoverHe’d already left with the other.So I’ve learned to listen through silence.

CHORUSLeave unsaid unspokenEyes wide shut unopenedYou and meAlways between the linesBetween the lines

I tell myself all the words he surely meant to sayI’ll talk until the conversation doesn’t stay onWait for me I’m almost readyWhen he meant let go.

CHORUSLeave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopenedYou and meAlways beYou and meAlways between the lines.

LOVE ON THE ROCKSPiano: Jamie Muhoberac Drums: Matt ChamberlainBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Bruce Watson, Joel ShearerPercussion: Rafael Padilla

We met on a rainy evening in the summertimeDon’t think I need to tell you moreI needed a raise I worked so hard for this love ofmine, love of mine.Still I got nothing to show for it.Here’s a simplification of everything we're going thoughYou plus me is bad newsBut you're a lovely creation, I like to think that I am tooBut my friends said I look better without you.Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby, and go to my head.

CHORUSBabe, baby believe meIf I stay it ain’t gonna be easyOkay we’ll do it your way, but this is the last timeYou'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming downLove on the rocks.

You love the chase but hate me for the runaroundAnd we both just tired of the whole thing.You tell me what you want you need you know you have to haveAnd I just pretend I’m listeningToo tired this time to deal with old suits you wear;your ties that won’t bind.

CHORUSBabe, baby believe meIf I stay it aint gonna be easyOkay we’ll do it your way, but this is the last timeYou’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down

Hot as hell Cold as ice Sip it slow cause it’s so niceDulls my senses drives my pain but I do it againBurns a bit to the touch, dangerous if it’s too muchIf this bottle could talk….Love on the Rocks

CHORUSBabe, baby believe meIf I stay it ain’t gonna be easyOkay we’ll do it your way, but this is the last timeYou’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down

CITYStrings Arranged by Eric Ivan RossePiano: Sara BareillesDrums: Matt ChamberlainBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Bruce WatsonGuitar Solo: Joel ShearerCello: Cameron StonePercussion: Rafael PadillaPercussion & Programming: Eric Ivan Rosse There’s a harvest each Saturday nightAt the bars filled with perfume and hitching a rideA place you can stand for one night and get goneIt’s clear this conversation ain’t doing a thing’Cause these boys only listen to me when I singAnd I don’t feel like singing tonightAll the same songs

CHORUSIn these deep city lightsGirl could get lost tonightI’m finding every reason to be goneNothing here to hold on toCould I hold you?

The situation’s always the sameYou got your wolves in their clothes whisperingHollywood’s nameStealing gold from the silver they seeBut it’s not me

CHORUSIn these deep city lightsGirl could get lost tonightI’m finding every reason to be goneNothing here to hold on toCould I hold you?

Calling out somebody save me I feel like I’m fading awayAm I gone?Calling out somebody save me I feel like I’m fading…

CHORUSIn these deep city lightsGirl could get lost tonightI’m finding every reason to be goneThere’s nothing here to hold on toCould I hold on to you?

MANY THE MILESPiano: Chris JoynerDrums: Matt ChamberlainBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Bruce WatsonPercussion: Rafael PadillaBackground Vocals: Javier Dunn & Josh Day

There’s too many things that I haven’t done yetToo many sunsetsI haven’t seenYou can’t waste the day wishing it’d slow downYou would have thought by now I’d have learned something

I made up my mind when I was a young girlI’ve been given this one worldI won’t worry it awayBut now and again I lose sight of the good lifeI get stuck in a low lightBut then Love comes in

CHORUSHow far do I have to go to get to you?Many the MilesMany the MilesHow far do I have to go to get to you?Many the Miles

But send me the miles, and I’ll be happy toFollow you Love

I do what I can wherever I end upTo keep giving my good love and spreading it around’Cause I’ve had my fair share of take care and goodbyesI’ve learned how to cry And I’m better for thatSing…

CHORUSHow far do I have to go to get to you?Many the MilesMany the MilesHow far do I have to go to get to you?Many the MilesBut send me the miles, and I’ll be happy toFollow you Love

Red letter day, and I’m in a blue moodWishing that blue would just carry me awayI’ve been talking to God don’t know if it’s helping or notBut surely something has got to got to got to give’Cause I can’t keep waiting to live

CHORUSHow far do I have to go to get to you?Many the MilesMany the MilesHow far do I have to go to get to you?Many the MilesBut send me the miles, and I’ll be happy toFollow you Love

CHORUS

There’s too many things I haven’t done yetToo many sunsets I haven’t seen

FAIRYTALEPiano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeodBass: Chris ChaneyGuitar: Stuart Mathis

Cinderella’s on her bedroom floor she’s got a Crush on the guy at the liquor store ’Cause Mr. Charming don’t come home anymore And she forgets why she came here.Sleeping Beauty’s in a foul mood for shame she says,None for you dear prince, I’m tired today.I’d rather sleep my whole life away than have youkeep me from dreaming

CHORUS’Cause I don’t care for your fairytalesYou’re so worried ’bout the maiden though you know She’s only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again ’cause what else can you doWith seven itty-bitty men?Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend, sayswill you meet me at midnight?The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says,Would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hairI’ll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows.

CHORUS’Cause I don’t care for your fairytalesYou’re so worried ’bout the maiden though you know She’s only waiting on the next best thing

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdomMan made up a story said that I should believe himGo and tell your white knight that he’s handsome inhindsightBut I don’t want the next best thingSo I sing and hold my head down and I break thesewalls ’round meCan’t take no more of your fairytale love

CHORUS’Cause I don’t care for your fairytalesYou’re so worried ’bout the maiden though you know She’s only waiting on the next best thingI don’t careI don’t careYou worry bout the maiden though you knowShe’s only waiting spent her whole life being gradedon theSanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation But the story needs some mending and a betterhappy ending ’Cause I don’t want the next best thing No, no I don’t want the next best thing.

GRAVITYStrings Arranged by Eric Ivan RossePiano: Sara Bareilles Cello: Cameron Stone

Something always brings me back to you. It nevertakes too long.No matter what I say or do I’ll still feel you here ’tilthe moment I’m gone.

You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains.I never wanted anything so much than to drown inyour love and not feel your rain.

CHORUSSet me free, leave me be.I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me ’cause I’m fragile.When I thought that I was strong.But you touch me for a little while and all my fragilestrength is gone.

CHORUSSet me free, leave me be.I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.But you’re on to me and all over me.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you’re everything I think I need here on the ground.But you’re neither friend nor foe though I can’t seem to let you go.The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down.

You’re on to me, you’re on to me and all over…

Something always brings me back to you.It never takes too long.
