1. U p P e r i s c o p e
Verse 1
If I could have a single wish
I'd only wish to never miss it when you wake up and smile
It makes me happy when you steal a little kiss
Before you wake me up to listen to the news for a while
Verse 2
And when you're creeping out of bed
I sneak a peek to see just what you were wearing last night
Or what was leftover from ripping off your clothes
I check to see that door was closed as you were turning out the light
TRANSITION 1:
Pre-chorus 1
Whoever said romance was over?
Roll over, so I can show you
Don't you want me to be
N/
The captain of your submarine?
Chorus 1
"Up periscope" - that's what I say
That's just my way
* N/
Of saying that I love you (I do)
Verse 3
My life is like a bowl of cherries not so very ordinary
Overflowing with love
And I could never want for more unless our two becomes a four or maybe three
If we practice it enough
TRANSITION 2:
Pre-chorus 2
Whoever said romance was over?
Roll over, so I can show you
Don't you want me to be
N/
The captain of your submarine?
Chorus 2
"Up periscope" ("up periscope") - that's what I say
That's just my way
* N/
Of saying that I love you (I love you)
Bridge
Now, I know that life is hard
I know that love can break your heart
That's just the way that it is
well, baby that's a load of smack
Don't you know I've got your back?
What's important is the way that we live
Verse 4
And like the way you like this song because it makes you hum along
And tap your foot to the beat
That's the way you make me feel when we're doing it for real
I can feel it from my head to my feet
TRANSITION 3:
PRE-OUTRO:
Whoever said romance was over?
Roll over, so I can give you
One more chance to believe
And hopefully see that I still want you
Don't you want me to be
The captain of your submarine?
Outro
"Up periscope" ("up periscope") - that's what I say
That's just my way
Of saying that I love you, I love you

INTRO [Keyboard]:

All alone, guess again
You've been known to take the hand of any man
Who will fill your fanta-

You're the pride of every fake that comes around
This messed up town

You know, and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You know, and I know, and I know
It's always better when
You find out we've been lying, cheating...

Baby, give me a sign
Give me a reason, make up your mind
Darling, only a fool couldn't see through us
And know what we do
(You know what we do)
TRANSITION 1:
Verse 2
Just because you're a fan
Doesn't mean you've joined the band and found a way
To make them think that you're a star, silly girl
Only I can fool the world, it's plain to see
'Cause you're just like me
Pre-chorus 2
You know, and I know, and I know
It's always better when

Verse 1
People around the world say I'm bitter
But I can say I'm not a quitter
And you can't
Verse 2
And people know they don't apologize
That's why we have to advertise
In the paper ("Sunday News!")
Pre-chorus 1
I can't make you stop, and listen, that won't save you
I can't believe everybody wants to party all night long
Until the birds are singing
Chorus 1
So do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be
Live how you wanna live
If you wanna be free, then you're gonna be free
Verse 3
But people, don't you know its not polite to point and stare?
No, that's not the way to show you care
About the way you live, but I bet you don't give a-
Verse 4
People, you've got to give it up where credit's due
But you only did it 'cause I told you to
Well too bad, so sad, hope I didn't make you mad
Pre-chorus 2
I can't make you stop, and listen, that won't save you
I can't believe everybody wants to party all night long

If you want to be, got to be
Have to be nothing but free...

If you open up your mind...
(See what's inside)
Chorus 1
It's gonna take some time to realign (Who are you?)

Over your shoulder, you know that I told you
I'll always be picking you up when you're down
So just turn around...

I found a way, I found a way
No-one can break what is so unbreakable

Chorus 2
It's gonna take some time to realign (Who are you?)

Hello, let's go, everybody must know
Love's in my heart like a bomb, it's blowing a song
Inside I'm singing, sunshine that you're bringing now

Listen to the radio playing back in stereo
Sounds like my favorite song, I'm humming along
My head is ringing, and I just can't stop singing now

You're everything I need, handed from above
I can't get enough of your love
'Cause it makes me happy

Right in front of me all the time

Verse 1
Right in front of me
A couple makes what could melt the snow
Making fun of me
Single look never cut me so
Chorus 1
And I go to save the conversation
I know a deeper contemplation
Is all I need to make believe
Everyone would love me if I could fool the world
TRANSITION 1:
Verse 2
Walk away from me
I see the change in the atmosphere
What a way to be (to be)
To turn the page, just to make it clear

I know a deeper contemplation
Is all I need to make believe
Everyone would love me if I could fool the world
TRANSITION 2:
Interlude
To fear
Or to disapp-e-ar
What a waste of time
TRANSITION 3:
Verse 3
What a troubled mind
A fortune find for another day
As you're passing by
You look behind to see what I would say
Chorus 3
And I go to save the conversation
I know a deeper contemplation
Is all I need to make believe
Everyone would love me (If I could fool the world)
So I go to save the conversation
I know (I know) a deep contemplation
Is all I need to make be-lieve
Everyone would love me, if I could fool... the world
Bridge
I can't survive another day in the life, without our day in the sun
Before you touch me here's a word of advice; if I were you I would run
(Get it, come get it, come get it, come get it)
N/
(So won't you tell me why it is...)
That every corner of my head is a home, but every fool is the same
It'd be so tragic if you left me alone, but left me no-one to blame
Bridge 2
Well don't it make you wonder what got us here?
The covers that were under could disappear
Promises keep us in chains, my dear...
Outro
If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been
(What am I feeling?)
If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been
(What am I feeling?)
If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been

Verse 1
She stares at the moon
Her ribbons out of tune
Memories of the past
At the bottom of her glass

And resting on her cheek
The imprint of his ring
A symbol of the weak
Commissioned by the king
Pre-chorus 1
Did he tie you down?
Did you make a sound?

God, please! Make something of me

She remembers his old boots
And the shotgun that he shoots

How could she ever love this man?

Lastly, the content here is as correct as I can get it. I've tabbed this out in
the manner which Drake performs it; if you prefer to perform it different then
that is absolutely fine. However, 100% accuracy cannot ever be ensured, but a good
90% of the content in here certainly is.
Thanks for reading guys, I hope this proves useful!
