Sarah Donner — Longest Road

This album was funded by my fans, so you only have yourselves to blame. All songs were recorded in my basement studio. Sounds of meowing, hissing, or litter box scratching have been left in the mix intentionally to ensure the audience has an authentic listening experience. This is what too many cats sounds like. I'm sorry and you're welcome.

Hairball

Have A Hit

Your Brain (Is An Asshole)

Stick to Your Art by Sarah Donner

Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#       Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#
Everyday is an existential crisis - You survive but wonder where the light is 
Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#		      A5   Bm  B
And you’re worn out from trying hard to fight it - Alone
Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#       Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#
Your phone is ringing from the robots - Time to go, get into their blindspots
Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#		      A5   Bm  B
No I won’t listen to the big shots - Anymore

C		D     G	               C
Stick to your art, stick to the path
C		D              G	               
You take that stick and stick it up
C		               D                                        G     Gw/b5         C6    D
You’re more than one thing (One thing) doesn’t make me who I am 

Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#       Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#
Our eyes got sore from all the yelling - Online everyone is telling you
Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#       Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#        A5 Bm B
What kind of cause to kill for - Confined to the laws you willfully -                  Wrote 


CHORUS

C       		              C4#   C          C6                   C            C4#   C          C6
You’re more than your job, more than your children, more than the face we see
Em              Em/D#            Em/D         Em/C#        C			D
You’re everything from the day you started, when there was nothing - to believe

INST. Em     Em/D#        Em/D   Em/C#        A5 Bm B


C		D     G	               C
Stick to your songs, stick to your cats
C		D              G	               
You take that stick and stick it to the man, stick it up up up
C		               D                                        G     Gw/b5         C6    Gaug   G
You’re more than one thing (One thing) doesn’t make me who I am

Stick To Your Art

Lifetime by Sarah Donner 
DADDAD capo 2 

You came in for just a minute, long enough to fall in love

Holding onto the thread thrown to you, long enough to give us hope

Rumours linger like a heart beats, On the verge of breaking down 

And they fade out like a sun Sets in the underground 


I’ll save you all my speeches/ This time it’s up to you

The hardest part is when a heart is only passing through

I hear them counting hours/ From towers in the sky 

You get what everybody gets, You get a lifetime


In the north everyone is colder, wrap ourselves with our work 

We are frozen in October, wrap ourselves in the dark 


I’ll save you all my speeches/ This time it’s up to you

The hardest part is when a heart is only passing through

I hear them counting hours/ From towers in the sky 

You get what everybody gets, You get a lifetime


And now I have a garden, I made it just for you 

I cannot wait to see you make it bloom 


CHORUS

You Get A Lifetime - Sarah Donner

For every young person making their voices heard. We march with you. #NeverAgain #Enough

F#	F#/E	B	
Get Down, the last words that you heard before you hit the 
F#	F#/E	B 
Hard ground, you knew then that songs would never have the 
F#	F#/E	B	D#m	C#	B 
Same sound, how could they now? 

Your move, millennial you’ll be the one in charge 
You’ll prove, what was rigged and right, The only thing that 
You’ll shoot is the moon 

F# 
All these books on your shelf 
B 
All these feelings you felt 
D#m	C#	B 
You can write yourself into tales 
C# 
Taller than me 
F# 
Now you’re fighting the truth 
B 
Now your words can cut through 
D#m	C#	B 
All the stupid lies that 
C#	F#	F#/E	B	C# 
We were led to believe 

F#	F#/E	B 
Pick up, the pieces of the earth, we stole your sky and 
F#	F#/E	B 
Sped up time, but I’m behind you and I will 
F#	F#/E	B	D#m	C#	B 
Line up when you lead (CHORUS) 

G#m 
You’re bringing hope 
B 
The words you wrote 
C# B 
Are stronger than me

Stronger Than Me

BACK TO YOU
E	A	B				
Standing there, your face pressed against the glass
E	A	B
Wondering where did I go, did you know 
E 	A	B				F#
I’ve been here on the other side every single mile

C#m			A		E		B
When the road is just a deadline, you’re my home, you’re my home
C#m			A		E		B
When I cross another state sign, you’re my home, you’re my home
C#m			A		E		B			F#
When I’m farther than the sun shines, I promise I will wind the way back to you, back to you

When I go you turn back and slip yourself 
On the floor where you wait, while I chase
Every star so I can bring light back to you

When I’m back, will you know who I am
All I ask, look at me and all these things
They don’t last as long as love for you

When the road is just a deadline, you’re my home, you’re my home
When I cross another state sign,
When I’m farther than the sun shines, I promise I will wind the way back to you, back to you

When the road is just a deadline, you’re my home, you’re my home
When I cross another state sign,
When I’m farther than the sun shines, I promise I will wind the way back to you, back to you

Every time zone takes its toll 
When you think you’re on your own
You are not alone

Back To You

Somebody To Love

Sarah's music has been licensed for television shows on Discovery networks, Bravo, MTV, VH1, and Showtime.

She is a graduate of Westminster Choir College. After stretching her legs with musical theatre, she picked up a guitar, abandoned her classical roots, and started rocking out (with fantastic breath support).Sarah Donner's cold New England heart was transplanted to New Jersey where she fosters kittens when not on tour.
