Calling All Skeletons

G                      B             C
Take a look, you see I painted you a picture
G                                B                C
It's black and white, except the blood's a little richer
E                          B          C
Down in the corner where I gave it my signature
E                  C                  D
Then I titled it, "This one's for the winter"
G                         C          D
Check it out you see it's just a big disaster


G                       B              C                  G
I'll dedicate it to the fact that it's so hard for you to dream
                     B              C               E
A million heartbeats all around you make it hard to sleep
                                   B              C                E
It doesn't help you're freezing in your bed, your blankets aren't enough
                        C                  D             G
All you want is someone there, and all you say is, "So what"


                C       D         G
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
                 C       D               E
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
        C               D                E
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
                           C             D            G
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone

          G
Well do you find you like to fall in love with people that you're never gonna meet?
                 B               C             E
It's easier than breaking up and crying in the street
                        B               C               E
Do you curse the happy couple? Do you cringe at wedding bells?
                        C               D               G
Do you drink up all the punch while you wish 'em all to hell?

E         G                 D           C        E
You can't escape this fatal case of melancholia
        G                   D                                  E
It's in your face, in every place you go... it's stalking you
          G                D            C                D
There are days when we all say we feel we just can't go on
           C         D
But you've felt this way all along


Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

It's about time that I came clean with you
               E Esus         C#m           A
I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
               E Esus          C#m            A
I thought that I found myself under something new
                E Esus       C#m            B
Just one more line I repeat over and over again

'Till I'm blue in the face with a choking regret

Because I talk in circles 'round you on my bed

No longer fun, and so far from interesting
                E Esus       C#m             A
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old

Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold

In disgraced with a shameful regret
      A            E                 B

And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
E                      Ex           B            A
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
E                      Ex           B            A
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell                             E

And I don't dream since I quit sleeping
        E             Esus E     G#      A
And I haven't slept since I met you
        E    Esus   E                       G#      A
And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime

I am waiting 'til there's nothing left 
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
    Em            C                    G 
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a ribcage 
Well, I'm out the door with apathy 
And I'm coming home with sympathy 
     Em            C                  G
I am realize, I am shame, I choose to stay here 
Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom 
G               D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come 
Em                    C  
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm 
   D
My arm 

Pre verse-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G

There's a song I love so much I stole 
Every precious note I took, I sold 
      Em                      C                    G
Now I spit out words.  Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor?
G
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul      
                                         Em
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold 
        C                   G
Until I break into chokable pieces 
Em                 C  
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G               D 
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em                    C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
D 
My arm

Solo-G,Em,C,G,Em,C 

Em                     C
And I open up like the back of a book 
G                      D
I ruin everything with just a quick look
Em                   C
I settle down like a rocket explodes
G                       D 
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows
Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G                   D 
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em                    C                          D
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm

          F#m              D
I used to long for a place of my own
       A
And I'm losing faith in everything
    F#m                D
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see


A   F#m   D   x2


          A
I used to long for broken bones
          F#m                  D
I used to long for a casket to call my own
       A
I never had a problem facing fear
        F#m            D
But I'm done, over and done, my dear, and


F#m      D
Oh mercy me
    A               E
God bless catastrophe
        F#m       D
There's no way in hell
      A            E
We'll ever live to see through this so
F#m       E      D
Drive yourself insane tonight
     F#m      E     D
It's not that far away and
       F#m       E         D         A
I just filled up your tank earlier today


E   A   D
(Yeah!)


 ( C#   B   A )
[This quick progression is there on the album, but I'd skip it in an open-chord acoustic 
and just hold the D a bit longer or something.]


            A
It's been a long day living with this
            F#m               D
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
        A
I took a long walk straight back home
           F#m            D
I could've walked back to Chicago
          A
I used to long for time alone
          F#m              D
I used to long for a place of my own
        A
And I've lost faith in everything
    F#m                D
I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost without you


F#m      D
Oh mercy me
    A               E
God bless catastrophe
        F#m       D
There's no way in hell
      A            E
We'll ever live to see through this so
F#m       E      D
Drive yourself insane tonight
     F#m      E     D
It's not that far away and

So drive yourself insane tonight

 [Again, this quick progression isn't *really* necessary. You can just stick to the D 
a wee bit and end with an A.]

Mercy Me 

Intro: G Am Em (x2)

Verse:
G                            Am                   Em
You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
Em
It's far too bright for you
G                       Am              Em
If they attack you just lay there, play dead dear
Em
It's your only hope of pulling through
G               Am                      Em   
The seconds may seem like a lifetime, a dream recurring
Em
A dream that can't come true
G        Am            Em                            C  
And they pin it all on you after all you've been put through

Chorus:
Em              C                  G                   D
"Sadie G. she's crazy see?" That's what the whitecoats say
       Em               C            G        D 
Now Ms Susan A., you're losing every opportunity to put us all away

G Am Em (x2)

Verse 2:
Now run along my little nightmare your job is done here
You scared 'em all to death
If they revive them just sit there
Just smile dear make them grateful for every breath
The sentence may seem like a lifetime of scream 
That's curdling the blood they found on you
And your knives & clothing too
Charlie's broken .22

Chorus

and then...
          Em                 C                  G              D
Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way
        Em                   C                    G                D
But you bound and gagged you shot and stabbed you tried to set 'em free

But they've thrown away the key

G Em C D (x4)

G   Em     C     D
Whoooooooooooooooa! (etc.)

Em D C

Em Bm C

First Verse:

               Em                      D                       C
There's a lightning storm each and every night
               Em             Bm              C
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
       Em                  D          C
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
                 Em
Grind the teeth in our
Bm                 C                                  Em
Our empty mouths (are empty...)

Second Verse:

                Em           D           C
There's a forest fire burning bright
                 Em                      Bm          C
Spreading quickly towards our last rites
       Em                D                C
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
              Em                         Bm                   C
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
                     Em
Pretending...

Chorus:

                      C                              Em
Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
D              C                        Em
Everyone learns faster on fire
D                          C             Em
Things took a turn, lost all desire
        D                   C              D
You live and you burn
        C                   Em 
You live and you burn

Third Verse:
        Em                           D            C
This impending doom is left deep inside
             Em                    Bm                      C
And it's haunting you each and every night
        Em                    D                  C
Like starving wolves    drowning sheep
       Em                  Bm                     C   
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
                      Em
Descending...

Chorus:
   
                   C                              Em
Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
D              C                        Em
Everyone learns faster on fire
D                          C             Em
Things took a turn, lost all desire
        D                   C              D
You live and you burn
        C                
You live and...

Bridge:

Like hell we are anxiously waiting
        Em7               G           Cadd9
Like hell burning silently strong
         Em7            G                 Cadd9  D
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
                Cadd9                D
And somehow this hell is home

Chorus:

           C                              Em
As we burn, pretending to fight it
D              C                        Em
Everyone learns faster on fire
D                          C             Em
Things took a turn, lost all desire

Like hell burning silently strong

Somehow we fell down by the wayside

Right now, this hell is my home

D
Shaking like a dog sh*ttin' razorblades
Bm        A                     D  
Waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
       Bm                  A
Waking up all alone waking up so relieved
            D                                Bm
While you're taking your time with apologies
              A                 
I'm making my plans for revenge
D
  Red eyes on orange horizons
Bm                A                                G
  If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge

I'd drive straight of the edge.

D     Bm   A
D     Bm   A

V2:
D
Taking your own life with boredom
    Bm        A
I'm taking my own life with wine
D
 It helps you to rule out the sorrow
Bm               A
  It helps me to empty my mind
D
 Making the most of a bad time
Bm                A
  I'm smoking the brains from my head
D                             Bm             A           G 
 Leaving the coal calling the kettle black & orange & red
            A (let ring) 
This kettle is seeing red

Chorus:
D          A               D                 Bm     A

D           A                 D        Bm       A 
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying

I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you

Dm                    G
This house is full of ears

Dm                    E7                    
But I can't talk to anyone

   C                                G
They've heard this one a thousand times

 Dm                   G
Most exciting thing I do

 Dm                               E7
Hang half way out a third floor window

  C                         G
Maybe throw lit cigarettes down

 C                    Am
And maybe I'll catch fire

    C              G
Something warm to hold me

   Am              F               G                
Something pure to burn away the darkness 

       C      G       Am  
That hides inside my mind

 C              G                 E7
All that evil shit's not hard to find

   Am      F     G          Am
I guess I only claim to be nice

Maybe I'll Catch Fire

Don't leave me alone,
                 C
I'm waiting for this to be,
     G                D
The last thing that I say.
          G      
Well if I try being good,
        C                    G
Then I probably could get a couple more days.
         D
But the drugs are lame,
        G
So I'm looking for you to be,
      C
The very last thing I see,
  G                  D    
Before I up and fly away.
      G                     C
I'm counting on you to help push me through
                 G                     D
With something good to remember on my red letter days


      C
Don't worry,
   G             D
I only feel the good things.
          G                   C
So let's dine, dine, dine my darling
           D
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers 
           C                    D

You rescued my tail from between my legs,

And I'm taking these words with me when I go over to the other side.

I'll be waiting on you but don't show up too soon
         G                       D

Verse 1: 
C
Well I found you outside like a sunrise,
       G
That melted my eyes from my skull.
                  E5
As I turned into ash before for my sweet demise,
      F               G
The end of me was so beautiful.
                   C                      G
Well now you're stuck in my head like a love song,

That climbed to the top of the charts.
          E5
How the fuck can something be so right and so wrong?
         F                             G
All the wrong words but all the right parts.


Chorus: (Staccato)
            A5              F5           C5     G5
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
            A5       F5           C5     G5
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
        A5              F5           C5             G5   F
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
G           F     G
Eating me alive
F           G     F    
Eating me alive

Verse 2:
C
Well I found you out there in the moonlight,
           G
In your eyes there were diamonds like stars.
         E5
I was bound by your father, the jewel thief,
                   F                         G
That night as you said he was still behind bars.
C
Now you're stuck in my head like a love song,
       G
The words I can never forget.
      E5                               
As I sucked on your neck for way too long,
                               F           G
And drained you of every last drop you had left.


Chorus: (Staccato)
            A5              F5           C5     G5
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
            A5       F5           C5     G5
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
        A5              F5           C5             G5   F
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
G            F    G
Eating me alive
F            G    F    
Eating me alive


Bridge: 
F               G      C      G
Here lies a homicidal story, sad but true.
C                                   F      G
The time has come and gone but I'd do anything for you.


Chorus: (Faster, Smoother Rhythm)
            A5              F5           C5     G5
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,

D                                              G
All the cons were dancing and the men began to wail
        A                              G
But the guys were indiscrete they were balling in the street

At the local dance at the local county jail

Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow

But the sound came over on the police car radio
A                            G
Down at Precinct 49 having a tear gas of a time
D                                  A                      D   A

It's a shame these slugs ain't real
       D                         A             D   A

D                                                 G
Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail
D                                              G
And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail
          A                                  G
There's a rumour going down death row that a fuse is going to blow

At the local hop at the local county jail

When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard

Hoy encuentro tu imagen en el mismo lugar
C Am F
como en sueños inciertos te estoy viendo llegar
C Am F
ya no hay luz de escena, ya no estas
C Am
me sorprende tu voz y nuestra
F
historia de amor, en la melodia
C Am F
soñamos con cambiar el dia, la oscuridad, la cancion
C Em Am G F
pero nunca supimos amar
C Em Am G F
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
C Em Am G F
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Es de noche, hay silencio, necesito hablar
y una lluvia de invierno se quedo con mi soledad
el mundo podía desaparecer
mientras nuestra nabe volaba hacia nuevos lugares
buscabamos vida
tratamos de disimular, locura y propiedad
pero nunca supimos amar
un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Malicia en tus sueños, me hacias volar
tu cuerpo y el mio guardaron secretos
y una rara armonia
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
si tu amor no se murio, por favor, donde esta?
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Buscabamos vida

C                        F 
Back in the old folky days
Am            Em              D
The air was magic when we played
C                                   F
The river boat was rocking in the rain
Am                Em            D
Midnight was the time for the raid
G
Oh Isabella, Proud Isabella
Am
They tore you down and plowed you under
Bm                             C
You're only real with your makeup on

How could I see you and stay too long

C                        F
All along the Navaho Trail
Am                  Em                 D
burnouts stub their toes on garbage pails
C                          F
Waitresses crying in the rain
Am                   Em                 D
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
G 
Oh Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Am
the shoe* ain't happy neither are the kids  
Bm                        C
She needs someone that she can scream at
G                    D
And I'm such at heel for making her so bad

C                                F
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
Am                   Em                D
It's hard to say the meaning to this song
C                              F
An ambulance can only go so fast
Am               Em               D
It's easy to get buried in the past
C                                  F
When you try to make a good thing last
Am   Em   D

G
I saw today, in the entertainment section
Am
There's room at the top for private detection
Bm             C
To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
G                    D
But it's either that or pay off the kidnappers
C                          F
So all you critics sit alone
Am                    Em                        D
You're no better than me for what  you've shown
C                                               F
With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
Am                 Em               D
We could get together for some scenes

G
Well I'm up in T.O.  keepin' jive alive
Am
and out on the corner it's half past five
Bm                        C
But the subways are empty and so are the cafes
G                              D
Except for the Farmer's Market and I can still hear him sayin'
C                                  F
"You're all just pissin' in the wind
Am             Em             D
You don't know it but you are"
C                              F
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Am                           Em              D
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind

G
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
Am
he had a different story for every set of eyes
Bm                  C
How can he remember who he's talking to?
G                        D                        G(hold)
Cause I know it ain't me and I hope it isn't you

Ambulance Blues

F                    G      C      Am G
The world is treating me bad... misery. 

C               F
I'm the kind of guy,
    C             F
Who never used to cry,
                         G      C     Am G
The world is treatin' me bad... misery

C                     F
I've lost her now for sure,
  C                F  
I won't see her no more,
                G       C
It's gonna be a drag... misery

Am                           C           
I'll remember all the little things we've done
Am                                 G         G7
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one.


C                F
Send her back to me,
       C            F
'Cause everyone can see
                   G     C
Without her I will be in misery


Am                           C
I'll remember ...


C                F
Send her back to me...

 Never ending symptoms in my head

We lay hollow in the emptiness

 No one's moving, we lack the courage to

We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would

Oh we don't bend or break it

Dm            D#        A#
 Silence says more than words

 You become a prisoner

Space Between

Gm 
Hoje eu tive um sonho que foi o mais bonito 
Que eu sonhei em toda a minha vida 
Sonhei que todo mundo vivia preocupado 
Tentando encontrar uma saída 
 Cm              G            Bb 
Quando em minha porta alguém tocou 
 D7                          Gm 
Sem que ela se abrisse ele entrou 
 Cm         F           Bb          Eb 
E era algo tão divino, luz em forma de menino 
 Ab                   D7 
Que uma canção me ensinou 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
Tinha na inocência a sabedoria 
Da simplicidade e me dizia 
Que tudo é mais forte quando todos cantam 
A mesma canção e que eu devia 
 Cm        F         Bb 
Ensinar a todos por ali 
  D7                            Gm 
E quantos mais houvessem para ouvir 
   Cm            F          Bb        Eb 
E a fé em cada coração, na força daquela canção 
  Ab                        D7 
Seria ouvida lá no céu por Deus 
 G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
E saí cantando meu pequeno hino 
Quando vi que alguém também cantava 
Vi minha esperança na voz de um menino 
Que sorrindo me acompanhava 
 Cm             F          Bb 
Outros que brincavam mais além 
   D7                         Gm 
Deixavam de brincar pra vir também 
   Cm           F          Bb        Eb 
E cada vez crescia mais aquele batalhão de paz 
 Ab                        D7 
Onde já marchavam mais de cem 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            G  D#7 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 G#m 
De todos os lugares vinham aos milhares 
E em pouco tempo eram milhões 
Invadindo ruas, campos e cidades 
Espalhando amor aos corações 
 C#m           F#         B 
Em resposta o céu se iluminou 
 D#7                G#m 
Uma luz imensa apareceu 
 C#m               F#         B           E 
Tocaram fortes os sinos, os sons eram divinos 
  D#7                    G#m 
A paz tão esperada aconteceu 
  C#m           F#       B            E 
Inimigos se abraçaram e juntos festejaram 
  A                           D#7 
O bem maior, a paz, o amor e Deus 
 G# 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                           D# 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                           G# 
La la la la la la la la la la

A Guerra Dos Meninos

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around
                                                Fm                        
Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine
