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

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,

And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.

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.

Eating me alive

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.

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us


             F                    C                G

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
