LOVE SONG Piano & Background Vocals: Sara Bareilles Drums: Matt Chamberlain Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Stuart Mathis, Bruce Watson Programming: Jake Davies Head under water and they tell me to breathe easy for a while the breathing gets harder, even I know that you made room for me but it’s too soon to see if I’m happy in your hands I’m unusually hard to hold on to Blank stares at blank pages no easy way to say this you 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 see I’m not gonna write you a love song ’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this if you’re on your way I’m not gonna write you to stay If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today I learned the hard way that they all say things you want to hear and my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and your twisted words, your help just hurts you are not what I thought you were hello to high and dry Convinced me to please you made me think that I need this too I’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 see I’m not gonna write you a love song ’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this if you’re on your way I’m not gonna write you to stay If all you have is leaving I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today Promise me that you’ll leave the light on to help me see with daylight, my guide, gone ’cause I believe there’s a way you can love me because I say I won’t write you a love song ’cause you asked for it ’cause you need one, you see I’m not gonna write you a love song ’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this is that why you wanted a love song ’cause you asked for it ’cause you need one, you see I’m not gonna write you a love song ’cause you tell me it’s make or breaking this if you’re on your way I’m not gonna write you to stay if your heart is nowhere in it I don’t want it for a minute Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there’s a reason to write you a love song today

VEGAS Piano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeod Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Bruce Watson, Lyle Workman, Joel Shearer Melatron: Eric Ivan Rosse Percussion: Rafael Padilla

Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas ’Cause somebody told me that’s where dreams would be Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas Finally 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 York And tattoo my body with every Broadway show. Listen up now honey, you’re gonna be sorry Can’t get out from under a sky that is falling and you say No 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 Vegas Can you take me to Vegas? Gonna sell my house and cross the border ’Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico Gonna sell my house I got to lose ten pounds and cross the border And make sweet love upon the white sandy shore. Listen up now honey, you’re gonna be sorry Can’t get out from under a sky that is falling and you say No 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 somewhere That is bigger or better… If you could only get there It’s never your fault you can’t start your own winning streak But 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 skies I’m gonna fix my mind with a final destination And have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream I’ll never realize…no Listen up now honey, you’re gonna be sorry Can’t get out from under a sky that is falling and you say No 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?

BOTTLE IT UP Piano: Jamie Muhoberac Drums: Matt Chamberlain Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Bruce Watson, Lyle Workman, Joel Shearer Percussion: Rafael Padilla There’ll be girls across the nation that will eat this up babe I know that it’s your soul but could you bottle it up and Get down to the heart of it, no it’s my heart you’re shit out of your luck Don’t make me tell you again my love love love love. Love love love love. I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts with her delicate soul I don’t claim to know much except soon as you start to make room for the parts That aren’t you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of love love love love Love Love love love

Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s Love Love Love Love I do it for Love Love Love Love We can understand the sentiment you’re saying to us oh, But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up and get started At keeping your part of the bargain aw please little darlin’ You’re killing me sweetly with love love love love Love love love love Only thing I ever could need only one good thing worth trying to be Love Love Love Love I do it for Love Love Love Love Started as a flicker meant to be a flame Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall Baby’s getting next to nowhere with her back against the wall. You meant to make me happy make me sad. Want to make it better better so bad. But save your resolutions for your never new year There is only one solution I can see here. Love you’re all I ever could need only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s Love Love Love Love I do it for love, love, love, love Oh, only gonna get get what you give away, so give love, love Only gonna get get what you give away Love.

ONE SWEET LOVE Acoustic Guitar & Piano: Sara Bareilles Electric Grand Piano: Eric Ivan Rosse Drums: Matt Chamberlain Bass: Chris Chaney Electric & Acoustic Guitar: Bruce Watson Just about the time the shadows call I undress my mind and dare you to follow Paint a portrait of my mystery Only close my eyes and you are here with me A nameless face to think I see To sit and watch the waves with me till they’re gone A heart I’d swear I’d recognize is made out of my own devices…. could I be wrong? CHORUS The time that I’ve taken I pray is not wasted Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love? Sleepless nights you creep inside of me Paint your shadows on the breath that we share You take more than just my sanity You take my reason not to care. No ordinary wings I’ll need the sky itself will carry me back to you The things I dream that I can do I’ll open up

the moon for you Just come down soon

MORNINGSIDE

CHORUS The time that I’ve taken I pray is not wasted Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love? Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking But I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love.

Piano & Fender Rhodes: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeod Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Bruce Watson, Lyle Workman, Joel Shearer Percussion: Rafael Padilla

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on the southern rain As 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 CHORUS The time that I’ve taken I pray is not wasted Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love? Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking But I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love.

COME ROUND SOON Piano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeod Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Bruce Watson, Lyle Workman, Joel Shearer Programming: Eric Ivan Rosse I could use another cigarette But don't worry daddy, I’m not addicted yet One too many drinks tonight and I miss you Like you were mine All your stormy words have barely broken And you sound like thunder though you’ve barely spoken Oh, it looks like rain tonight and thank God ’Cause a clear sky just wouldn't feel right. CHORUS He’s taken and leaving But I keep believing That 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 catch It never took much to keep me satisfied But all the bullshit you feed me you miss me you need me This hungry heart will not subside CHORUS He’s taken and leaving But I keep believing That he’s gonna come round soon Until I see him again I’m staying believing That 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 heart These cracks that I show as I’m watching you go aren’t tearing me apart I may seem naive if I cry as you leave Like I’m just one more tortured heart These cracks that I show as I’m watching you go aren’t tearing me apart The angels said I’d smile today Well who needs angels anyway? CHORUS

I’m not scared of you now Or so I say There’s no reason to run Although I may I’m not as sure as I seem This much I know What does it mean when you leave and I follow… CHORUS I could try to forget what you do when I let you get Through to me but then you do it over again I could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain I desire ’Till you get to me on my morningside Keep my distance I tried No use But no matter the miles I’m back to you CHORUS I could try to forget what you do when I let you get Through to me but then you do it over again I could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain I desire ’Till you get to me on my morningside Let me down you say never, baby blues, don’t you ever I’m used to being one with the misfortune to find Afternoons 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 that I don’t care if the things that I have Only make me afraid to lose I Need to let go Need to want to keep letting you know That we both have a reason to follow Long as we let this lead I’m barely breathing CHORUS I 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 morningside Let me down you say never, baby, don’t you ever I’m used to being one with the misfortune to find Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder What it looks like here on my morningside

BETWEEN THE LINES Piano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Matt Chamberlain Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Stuart Mathis Time to tell me the truth To burden your mouth for what you say No pieces of paper in the way ’Cause I can’t continue pretending to choose The opposite sides on which we fall The loving you laters if at all No right minds could wrong be this many times. My memory is cruel I’m queen of attention to details Defending intentions if he fails Until now, he told me her name It sounded familiar in a way I could have sworn I’d heard him say it ten thousand times If only I had been listening.

CHORUS Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always between the lines Between the lines I thought I was ready to bleed That we’d move from the shadows on the wall And stand in the center of it all. Too late two choices to stay or to leave Mine was so easy to uncover He’d already left with the other. So I’ve learned to listen through silence. CHORUS Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always between the lines Between the lines I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say I’ll talk until the conversation doesn’t stay on Wait for me I’m almost ready When he meant let go. CHORUS Leave unsaid unspoken Eyes wide shut unopened You and me Always be You and me Always between the lines.

LOVE ON THE ROCKS Piano: Jamie Muhoberac Drums: Matt Chamberlain Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Bruce Watson, Joel Shearer Percussion: Rafael Padilla We met on a rainy evening in the summertime Don’t think I need to tell you more I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine, love of mine. Still I got nothing to show for it. Here’s a simplification of everything we're going though You plus me is bad news But you're a lovely creation, I like to think that I am too But my friends said I look better without you. Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby, and go to my head. CHORUS Babe, baby believe me If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy Okay we’ll do it your way, but this is the last time You'll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down Love on the rocks. You love the chase but hate me for the runaround And we both just tired of the whole thing. You tell me what you want you need you know you have to have And I just pretend I’m listening Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear; your ties that won’t bind. CHORUS Babe, baby believe me If I stay it aint gonna be easy Okay we’ll do it your way, but this is the last time You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down Hot as hell Cold as ice Sip it slow cause it’s so nice Dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again Burns a bit to the touch, dangerous if it’s too much If this bottle could talk…. Love on the Rocks

CHORUS Babe, baby believe me If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy Okay we’ll do it your way, but this is the last time You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down

CITY Strings Arranged by Eric Ivan Rosse Piano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Matt Chamberlain Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Bruce Watson Guitar Solo: Joel Shearer Cello: Cameron Stone Percussion: Rafael Padilla Percussion & Programming: Eric Ivan Rosse There’s a harvest each Saturday night At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride A place you can stand for one night and get gone It’s clear this conversation ain’t doing a thing ’Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing And I don’t feel like singing tonight All the same songs CHORUS In these deep city lights Girl could get lost tonight I’m finding every reason to be gone Nothing here to hold on to Could I hold you? The situation’s always the same You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood’s name Stealing gold from the silver they see But it’s not me

But send me the miles, and I’ll be happy to Follow you Love I do what I can wherever I end up To keep giving my good love and spreading it around ’Cause I’ve had my fair share of take care and goodbyes I’ve learned how to cry And I’m better for that Sing… CHORUS How far do I have to go to get to you? Many the Miles Many the Miles How far do I have to go to get to you? Many the Miles But send me the miles, and I’ll be happy to Follow you Love Red letter day, and I’m in a blue mood Wishing that blue would just carry me away I’ve been talking to God don’t know if it’s helping or not But surely something has got to got to got to give ’Cause I can’t keep waiting to live CHORUS How far do I have to go to get to you? Many the Miles Many the Miles How far do I have to go to get to you? Many the Miles But send me the miles, and I’ll be happy to Follow you Love

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom Man made up a story said that I should believe him Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight But I don’t want the next best thing So I sing and hold my head down and I break these walls ’round me Can’t take no more of your fairytale love CHORUS ’Cause I don’t care for your fairytales You’re so worried ’bout the maiden though you know She’s only waiting on the next best thing I don’t care I don’t care You worry bout the maiden though you know She’s only waiting spent her whole life being graded on the Sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending ’Cause I don’t want the next best thing No, no I don’t want the next best thing.

GRAVITY

Calling out somebody save me I feel like I’m fading away Am I gone? Calling out somebody save me I feel like I’m fading… CHORUS In these deep city lights Girl could get lost tonight I’m finding every reason to be gone There’s nothing here to hold on to Could I hold on to you?

MANY THE MILES Piano: Chris Joyner Drums: Matt Chamberlain Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: Bruce Watson Percussion: Rafael Padilla Background Vocals: Javier Dunn & Josh Day There’s too many things that I haven’t done yet Too many sunsets I haven’t seen You can’t waste the day wishing it’d slow down You would have thought by now I’d have learned something I made up my mind when I was a young girl I’ve been given this one world I won’t worry it away But now and again I lose sight of the good life I get stuck in a low light But then Love comes in CHORUS How far do I have to go to get to you? Many the Miles Many the Miles How far do I have to go to get to you? Many the Miles

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

FAIRYTALE Piano: Sara Bareilles Drums: Brian MacLeod Bass: Chris Chaney Guitar: 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 you keep me from dreaming CHORUS ’Cause I don’t care for your fairytales You’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 do With seven itty-bitty men? Sends them to bed and she calls up a friend, says will 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 hair I’ll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows. CHORUS ’Cause I don’t care for your fairytales You’re so worried ’bout the maiden though you know She’s only waiting on the next best thing

You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain. CHORUS Set 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 fragile strength is gone. CHORUS Set 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.
