Maybe I
Artist: Tone 7
(verse 1)
Maybe I shouldn’t love you like I do
Maybe I shouldn’t want to see it through
Maybe I ought to fight this falling in love
Maybe we should just stop it anyhow
And all because I’m…
(bridge)
Nervous and I just don’t know
Got this feeling and it just won’t go
Want to try but I been hurt before
Hate to see you walking out the door
But..
(chorus)
(Maybe I, maybe I ohohoh maybe I) background vocals
Don’t wanna love you but you do the things you do
(Maybe I, maybe I ohohoh maybe I)
Hate to admit it baby I’m so in to you.
(Maybe I, maybe I ohohoh maybe I)
I’ve been hurt baby, I’ve been hurt before
(Maybe I, maybe I ohohoh maybe I)
Hate to see you walking out the door but...
(verse 2)
Maybe you don’t need me as you say
Do you know, what the need is anyway
Maybe you should think again before you act
Do you now, give love and take it back
And all because I’m
(bridge)
(chorus)
(Instrumental breakdown)
Maybe we ought quit it
House and the car and the dog, just split it
You can take the diamond rings and material things
I chaulk it up to experience, baby its a crime
I bet I'll be more careful next time
Too much drama, gotta dial down the trauma
Destroying my peace of mind
(bridge)
Check it out and there will be no doubt
Try to see if I can figure out
What it is that you see in me
If I’m right then we’ll both be free
cause…

Chicago Streets

Wrote this tune reflecting on my time in Chi-Town. Coldest I'd ever been in my life. No faking the funk in Chicago!
lyrics
Chicago Streets, never miss a beat
Chicago Streets
Chicago Streets, never miss a beat
Chicago Streets…………………………..Chicago Streets!
Will make you realize
That this is real life
This ain’t no play thing
This is what’s happening
Well I come to find out
I thought I knew what life was all about
Later for theory
Believe me school is out … on
(chorus)
Look at the people
Check out their faces
No they’re not crazy
Just out of aces
The puppeteer play
They play their own way
Their smiles are friendly
But their teeth are deadly … on
(chorus)
(bridge)
Day after day, Live for the hustle
Warmth of smile … too much to ask of Chi-Town
Hide from the hawk, Try but he’ll catch you
Maybe it’s time … to think about a better life

Same Place Same Time
Artist: Tone 7
(verse 1)
On a mission, In search of you
Don’t know if I’ll see you at all
My thoughts go back to last winter
I first laid eyes on you and
My days were coming to an end
(verse 2)
I saw you dancing,Your eyes were staring too and
Your beauty hit me like the cold winter’s snow
I had two hours to talk to you, to touch you
My plane is leaving…
Where had you been all of this time.
(change)
I had to make my move
Do you feel the same way
Flying back to you and winter
I don’t know if you’ll be there
But I feel you
If you care, I’ll see you at the…
(chorus)
Same Place, Same Time (4x’s)
(break)
Will you be there, Will you there
Will you be there, Same Place Same Time (2x’s)
(verse 3)
Soaring above the clouds, hoping to find you
Winter’s here again; summer has gone.
I had to take my chances
Dreams of you all through the years
The moment of truth, will be here

Tell Me
Artist: Tone 7
(chorus)
Tell me...does your heart belong to me
Tell me…why is it so hard to believe
(verse 1)
Is it me,
or is it that I want to touch a place
You said no-one would ever touch again
Time is on our side, if you let it be
(verse 2)
For a moment,
I stop to think what life would really be
Without you in my world, then I can’t take it.
I need to know you’re there, show you care…but
(bridge)
Sometimes I can’t help hurting
From the pain that’s deep inside
Of a heart that still left wondering
From a love that feels so right
(chorus)
Tell me...does your heart belong to me
Tell me…why is it so hard to believe
That your heart is mine and will forever be.
(Guitar solo)
(verse 3)
Baby listen,
I don’t want to spend my whole life searching
For the one who’s touch can ease my troubled mind
You know you do that well, can’t you tell
(verse 4)
If you’ll only,
Tell me that you care and really need me
It surely for me would be a blessing
That you are to me. Can’t you see.

Mischief Maker
Artist: The Tone
(verse 1)
Eyes of a snake
and teeth like a wolf
Never realizing that he’s laying his hands on you
Making you say
and making you do
Things that you never would believe if it were not you
(bridge)
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
I don’t wanna sing
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
Tired of dancing
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
Want reality
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
Let the children be
(chorus)
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
Never knowing what he’ll do
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
He’ll lay his hands on you
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
Don’t listen to a thing he says
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
One mind, one voice to the new day
(verse 2)
Dreaming of a time
and living for a dream
Opening the doorway to unfold a brand new world
But out of site’s not out of mind,
Don’t believe it for a minute
Caught up in a rat race, cant take time to thing of living
(bridge)
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
I don’t wanna sing
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
Tired of dancing
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
Want reality
Stop; Stop; Stop; Stop
Let the children be
(chorus)
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
Never knowing what he’ll do
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
He’ll lay his hands on you
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
Don’t listen to a thing he says
Look out he’s a mischief-maker
One mind, one voice to the new day

Fantasize
Artist: The Tone
(verse 1)
Time can show you many things
Time can be so kind
Time can teach you to leave
Your pain behind
(verse 2)
People say I’m crazy
Some will say I’m blind
Wanna tell you you’re the
First thing on my mind
(bridge)
I have loved and been loved
I have seen love die
I have learned enough
To show you how and why
(chorus)
I spend my time
Thinking bout you baby
How your love shines
Whenever your in my arms girl
All night
Thinking bout you, all I do is
Fantasize
‘Bout you living here in my life
(verse 3)
We can’t take for granted
That our love will survive
Got to do the things to
Keep our love alive
(verse 4)
I’ve got so much to give to you
Glad your by my side
Lay your head on my shoulders
It will be alright
(bridge)
I have loved and been loved
I have seen love die
I have learned enough
To show you how and why
(chorus)
I spend my time
Thinking bout you baby
How your love shines
Whenever your in my arms girl
All night
Thinking bout you, all I do is
Fantasize
‘Bout you living here in my life

Ballot or the Gun
Artist: Tone 7
(verse 1)
Didn’t think it end this way;
Another death another day
Lying face down in the sand
Stilled by another’s hands.
(verse 2)
Family’s trying to face the strain
Nothing will erase the pain
Lies that mount to heaven’s gate
Bless us all who know not hate
(interlude)
(verse3)
No, we don’t want your war
We’ve seen it all before
Send us to do your dirty work
And package it as honor
(verse 4)
In your ivory tower
Barking out the orders
Think you’ve had your final run
Is it the Ballot or the Gun
Ballot or the gun (segue)
Ballot or the gun
Ballot or the gun
Ballot or the gun
(bridge)
So what’ll you do when the crimes all mount
What’ll you do when the votes don’t count
what’ll you do when you run out of prose
what’ll you do when the myth’s exposed
What’ll you do when the question’s out
Children are asking what its all about
what’ll you do when the truth comes out
what’ll you do, what do you do
(Guitar solo) 4 bars
(verse 5)
Your kids don’t go to war
Political Superstars
Too busy being famous
And closing up the bar
(verse 6)
Dining with the classes
While lying to the masses
Laying our lives on the line
We deserve to know why (this time)
(interlude)
(verse 3 repeat)
No, we don’t want your war
We’ve seen it all before
Send us to do your dirty work
And package it as honor
(verse 4 repeat)
In your ivory tower
Barking out the orders
Think you’ve had your final run
Is it the Ballot or the Gun
Ballot or the gun (segue)
Ballot or the gun
Ballot or the gun
Ballot or the gun

Revolutionary Eyes
Artist: Tone 7
(verse 1)
Look like fire
Burns like coal
Cold as ice
Just as bold
Make you weak
At the knees
Make you heal or
Make you bleed
(bridge)
Some say its love some say its hate
Depending on their views
Some feel fire and some fear fate
Depending on what they choose
(chorus)
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
(verse 2)
Look right through you
To your soul
Look so young but
Look so old
Get so serious
All the time
What’s behind them
What makes them shine
(bridge)
Some say its love some say its hate
Depending on their views
Some feel fire and some fear fate
Depending on what they choose
(chorus)
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
(Guitar solo)
(verse)
look like fire
Just can’t win
Cause those eyes keep coming back
Again and again and again
(chorus)
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you
Revolutionary eyes….make you (vamp out)
