shes gone her way
still tehy stay together
people call me crazy..crazy
but thus progress
think it up forever
my mind tells me maybe…maybe
i wish i could drive away to the sunset
back to the day that we first met
only believe the things i wrote
wouldn’t a known ya
cross my t’s and not my i’s
better say hello
didn’t say goodbye
ill write sincerly yours and sign my name
P.s i love you
forever and today
2 weeks go by
it’s like it’s been the weather
the rain falls down
shes cryin…cryin
but thoughts progress
she thinks about forever
there hearts are bound
lyin..lyin
i wish i could drive away
i wish i could drive away to the sunset
back to the day that we first met
only believe the things i wrote
wouldn’t a known ya
cross my t’s and not my i’s
better say hello
im gonna wave goodbye
ill write sincerly yours and sign my name
P.s i love you
Forever and today
all the heartache and the pain
all the words you’ve said in vain
it’ll never be the same
i wish i could drive away to the sunset
back to the day that we first met
only believe the things i wrote
wouldn’t a known ya
cross my t’s and not my i’s
better say hello
i’m gonna wave goodbye
ill write sincerly yours and sign my name
P.s i love you
Forever and today
Forever and today
Forever and today
p.s i love you
forever and today

You win it’s your show now
So what’s it going to be?
Cause’ people will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch
And we thought this was low
Well it’s bad, getting worse….

Where’d all the good people go?
I’ve been changing channels and I don’t see them on the tv shows
Where’d all the good people go?
We’ve got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing, one, two, man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused, got too much to lose
Give me some truth now, who’s side are we on
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube, I’m in the mood to obey
So lead me astray
And by the way now…

Where’d all the good people go?
I’ve been changing channels and I don’t see them on the tv shows
Where’d all the good people go?
We’ve got heaps and heaps of what we sow

Sitting around feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris, can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it’s all going to be
You might notice some hesitation
’cause its important to you, it’s not important to me
way down by the edge of your whole reason
Well it’s beginning to show and ALL I really want to know is…

Where’d all the good people go?
I’ve been changing channels and I don’t see them on the tv shows
Where’d all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

(Where’d all the good people go?)
They got this and that with a rattle a tat
Testing one, two man whatcha gonna do
Bad news misused give me some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on today, anyway
Okay, whatever you say
Wrong or resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
where’d all the good people go
Going, going, gone.

An all-time favorite here in GuitarTutee, Switchfoot’s Dare You To Move was recently sung by David Cook in the Top 3 Performance of American Idol 7 (5/13/08). Perhaps the judges are right–David Cook tried to end the song while it was just starting, but I would have to say that he did a pretty good job with it. The video and chords / tabs / lyrics are below.

INTRO:
C BbM7

VERSE:

c BbM7
I study up my hollow
C
Piece of wood to follow
BbM7
A day that doesn’t come

To the lucky
C BbM7
And I realize there’s tomorrow
C
But I would rather wallow
BbM7
In the rain then moods that seem

So pot-lucky

PRE-CHORUS:
F
Well I’m cruising El Paseo
C
In my off-white coup back ‘65
F
Or I’m cruisin down my own street
And my hooptie says to me
Dm
You better hang on to your bench seat
G
I’m gonna take you for a ride

CHORUS
C
And I’ll let you know
Dm Em7
When it comes, when it comes
F
I’ll let you know
C
But don’t stay up for me
G
Don’t wait up for me
F Fm
If I’m not home

VERSE
So I wait for fate to find me
A ball of string unwind me
Uncomfortable as a centerfold
And I realize your behind me
To help and humankind me
To see my songs can be retold

*PRE-CHORUS 2*
Well I’ll be gone tomorrow
So next time that I see you in school
It won’t be for too long

Repeat Chorus

Interlude:
Bb C Bb C
F Dm G

And I want a leather jacket
But only if I have the time
Well, I’ll comb my hair like Elvis
And grab an old Gretch 59
And you’d hardly recognize me if you
Saw me from behind
