I Need to Wake Up by Melissa Etheridge

Have I been sleeping?
I’ve been so still
Afraid of crumbling
Have I been careless?
Dismissing all the distant rumblings
Take me where I am supposed to be
To comprehend the things that I can’t see

Cause I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

And as a child
I danced like it was 1999
My dreams were wild
But the promise of this new world
Would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness relief
To listen to an inconvenient truth

Well I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

I am not an island
I am not alone
I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and bone

And I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

I want to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now

Although I lost one friend to breast cancer (she wouldn't get treatment until it was way to late:( ) hopefully Melissa will be a survivor like my step-mother has been. She was Dx'd and had a mastectomy back in the early 70's and is still going strong.

8. It's Not Going to Stop - Aimee Man

It's not what you thought
When you first began it.
You got, what you want
You can hardly stand it though
By now you know

It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
Till you wise up

You're sure, there's a cure
And you have finally found it.
You think, one drink
Will shrink you 'till you're underground
And living down

But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
Till you wise up

Prepare a list for what you need
before you sign away the deed

Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
Till you wise up.

No it's not going to stop
Till you wise up
No it's not going to stop
So just give up

12. Anyone have the guitar tab for this song?

I find it unlikely, but it doesn't hurt to ask
