Verse [ G D Am D ] Don't turn your back and leave taking a piece of me can't find my way, lost my purpose Doesn't seem the same as before stare right through, me shattering my soul

Pre-Chorus [Am G Am D] Believed we formed the perfect puzzle doesn't fit perfectly any more

Chorus [C Em G Am] Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' deep down tears turning to ice, screams lost to the wind our love is tattered and ragged from the storm me and you, thought we fit perfectly who thought this would be how it ends

Verse [G D Am D] Won't you come back to me  Hold me, embrace me  I wish, I dream, I hope everyday We built something so wonderful Then you broke my heart into a million pieces

<Repeat Pre-chorus + Chorus>

Bridge [G D Am Em Am Em] Every second of the day, every day of the year I'm thinking bout you How we could've had it all, could've got up from that fall Then i open my eyes and i realized It's all gone

<Repeat Pre-chorus + Chorus>

Week 15 (Group Performance) : Viva la vida by Coldplay <Partner: Rose>

Week 16/17 (Group Video) : It Will Rain by Bruno Mars

1. The performance I enjoyed the most was week 8's performance (i want it that way). It was so much fun watching nima and askon's faces when we were dedicating the song to them. The whole group worked hard for that performance and we didn't make much mistakes. 2.I was not satisfied with week 2's performance, in which haley and i were going to perform one less lonely girl, but then decided to just made up something at the last minute. I really think we could have done better, and practice more. 3. Before starting this course, i had no interest in guitar or any other musical instruments, but now, I know how to play numerous chords, tabs, even some bar chords. I believe this is a great achievement. Moreover, I also grew more confident in my singing abilities and performing in front of a group of people. 4.Yes, I would really like to learn more about guitar, because it is just so fun and relaxing to play. If possible, I will teach myself or ask for help from friends. 5.I have helped Rose a little during her "california king bed" performance, playing the intro. 6. My favorite parts about this class is how we are given so much freedom to have fun. I don't ever feel stressed or rushed. Other than that, this class was great for making new friends and socializing. I rather wish we could have worked on bar chords or power chords more
