INTRO:

Abm C#m F#

  Abm                                    C#m
As I walk through the streets of my new city
   F#                             B
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Bbm6  Abm                      C#m
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
    F#                               B
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Bbm6   Abm                              C#m
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
               F#                                B  Bbm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Abm
Suddenly I'm lost
       C#m
On my street

On my block
   F#
Oh why, Oh why
   B               E
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
          F#                 B         Bbm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Abm                C#m
This time it's for real, I can see

F#      Abm       Bbm     C#m 
All the trees are turning red
    F#      Abm  Bbm     C#m    F# 
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
F#      Abm       Bbm     C#m 
I think they want something
  F#      Abm       Bbm     C#m   F# 
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

       B
and be calm.

Be calm.
           E                          B
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
       Abm          C#m              E	
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
   F#
Be calm.


  Abm                              C#m
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
       F#                             B  Bbm6 
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
  Abm                             C#m
"I always see you looking out your window."
    F#                                        B  Bbm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
    Abm                       C#m
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
     F#                                B  Bbm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
    Abm
But with every single buck I've made
    C#m
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
    F#
the moment I was baptized
                                       F# 
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
   Abm 	   Bbm  C#       F#      Abm         C#m 
if only I could find my people or my place in life
    F#        Abm    Bb       C#m 
then when they come to 'carolin'
  F#        Abm        Bbm     C#m 
so loud, so bright, the theremin
    F#   Abm    Bbm 
will lead us to a chorus
C#m   F#      Abm       Bbm       C#m       F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

      B
Oh be calm.

Be calm.
           E                          B
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
  Abm          C#m              E
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
   F#
Be calm.
	     B                              D#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
              Abm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
   Abm A#m  B        C#m  
and e-very--thing's wrong
        E                C#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
   F#
Be calm.

  Abm      F#    D#m       C#m
I don't remember much that night,
     B        F#       B       F# F#  Ab  B 
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
 Abm     F#      D#m      C#m    B
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
F#               B      F#     B
From that street corner came a song
    B  C#m   D#m  E 
And I can't remember the man,
   F#                 B Bbm6
The panhandler or his melody.
    Abm     F#          D#m   C#m    F#
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee. 

      B
Oh be calm.

Be calm.
           E                          B
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
  Abm          C#m              E
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
   F#
Be calm.
	     B                              D#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
              Abm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
   Abm A#m B       C#m  
and e-very--thing's wrong
        E                C#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
   F#
Be calm.
   Abm
Be calm.

Were you named for the river that surrounds

All the muscles in my mouth never smiled or said profound things

Until the day she handed you to me now

C                        F                       C
For all the steps you'll take and all you'll overcome

I wanna be the one to put in a song

Cigarettes are raining hard on the Upper East Side
       C                  G                     C  G
She brings me a cake we celebrate I have arrived

I put my hands to the table and dare say the love of my life
        Am      Bm         C   F     
And your brother with his best friend
         Am      Bm         C   F     
Shares a name I'm gonna need

Really couldn't bring me down

C                  F                    C
For everything you lost and all you overcome

I wanna be the one to put in a song

I wanna be the one to put it in a song and make it last forever

Clever comes in truth when truth begets the past

Its sends its call out to the moon
G   A   B    C   D   E   C           G              C           G

Bb F Gm
Slow down,
F         Eb                F   
we've got time left to be lazy
        Bb        F         Gm F     Eb                F
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
          Bb    F  Gm    F      Eb                F
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
         Eb              Dm
I don't care to beg your pardon,
           Cm    F
We should live
           Bb F Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb
until we die.


        Bb         F            Gm                   Dm Eb F
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
        Eb               Dm            Cm                 F
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
             Bb           F    Gm
and then you turned, put out your hand,
   F    Eb           F
and you asked me to dance.
        Eb          Dm                 Cm             F
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.


  Eb                F                           Bb F Gm F
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
       Eb              F                             Bb F Gm F
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Eb                     F
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
             Bb               F            Gm
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
         Eb                         F                       Bb F Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.

Bb F Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb


           Bb         F            Gm                Dm Eb F
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
        Eb        Dm        Cm           F
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
             Bb F Gm F
and now he's turning to a man,
            Eb                    F
although he thinks just like his mother,
      Eb                   Dm              Cm          F
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.


         Bb          F  Gm
And even though she moved away,
    F         Eb              F
we always get calls from our daughter.
        Eb                 Dm
She has eyes just like her father's
         Cm                  F
they are blue when skies are grey
              Bb        F   Gm   F
And just like him, she never stops,
       Eb                F
Never takes the day for granted,
Eb                           Dm
works for everything that's handed to her,
Cm             F
Never once complains.


Eb                 F      Bb F Gm F
You think that I nearly lost you
          Eb               F         Bb F Gm F
When the doctors tried to take you away.
              Eb               F                Bb F Gm F
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
        Eb       F
thirty years ago 
         Bb
to this day
Eb                               F     
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
               Bb                 F           Gm
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
         Eb                         F                      Bb F Gm
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
            Eb                            F                    Bb F Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.

Bb F Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb
Bb F Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb
Bb F Gm F Eb F Bb Bb Bb
Eb Dm Cm Dm Eb F
Eb     Dm     Cm     F

          Bb        F Gm F
You come home from work
         Eb             F
and you kiss me on the eye
              Eb                Dm              Cm                F
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
           Bb      F    Gm    F
and so we move out to the garden
        Eb                F
look at everything we've owned
        Eb              Dm
now the kids are coming home
   Cm              Dm Eb F
so I set the table
                  Bb
You can make the fire.

Intro: C

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

     C         G       F
So I call your name, cross my fingers
Am        G         C
uncross the others, hesitate.
      G                                    Dm     G
Oh I don't think straight with nothing to prove.
F                 F  A  G 
I don't wanna say I'm leaving
F  G  C      G         Am
I'll stay until the weekend.
            F                    
And you can take all the things;
F E F
the boxes and rings
        G
and get going.

'Cause I've been waiting for...

C              G          Am        G
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
       C               G           Am           G   
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
          F        C            Dm            C
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
       F              C          Dm         C
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

     C        G
So I call you out
F                         Am     G       C
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
 G           Dm          G
I do, baby I do, I do, I do

            C
Until their lips start to move,
          G
and their friends wanna talk music
  F                        Fm
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
      C                     G
But I have, I just hate the band
                         Dm   G
'cause they remind me of you.
F                   F    A    G 
Every single night ends up the same,
F  G    C           G         Am             G
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.
F         F   E    F
(Over and over and over)

I think it's striking me out.

C              G          Am        G
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
       C               G           Am           G   
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
          F        C            Dm            C
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
       F              C          Dm         C
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

        C
But not you,
               G              Am           G
you still wear boots and your hair is too long

Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do

When all the pretty girls can't measure to you.

Solo


F                  F  A  G 
I don't understand your reasons

Please just stay over the weekend
          F
You can't take all those things
F  E  F
They define you and me

everything we've become,

You're all that I need

Please don't make me face my generation alone.

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
         F         C           Dm             C
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
       F              C          Dm         C
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.

But not you,

I feel your faith is destroying the world

Oh c'mon, what's a boy to do,

All The Pretty Girls

D                        Em      Bm            D           Em     A      D     C#m D
Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?
D                      Em            A
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
           Em            Bm          Em          A
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
D
C?mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
           Em                       A  A/B   A/C# D
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.

D                
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper
Em                           A     A/B     A/C# D
I don?t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time


D     Em  A     D  D  D  F#  A  	
Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh
D	            Em       A         D
At least I?m not as sad as I used to be


          D
And they said,
  C#m D	          Em
"Hey Nate, yeah it?s been a while,
      A
Are you gonna sing?"
D
I began to smile and I said,
D                        Em              A
"You should?ve seen me a couple of years ago,
       Em           Bm          Em           A
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."


D
C?mon can you count all the loves that didn?t last?
            Em                         D   D  D  F#  A 
It?s such a gas when you bring up the past.
D                                             Em
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.
Em
I don?t want no savior baby
A      A/B   A/C#   D
I just wanna get it out.



D     Em  A     D  D  D  F#  A 
Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh
D	            Em       A          D
At least I?m not as sad as I used to be

D     Em               A     D D  D  F#  A 
Oh-oh oh, (get it out) Oh-uh oh
D	            Em       A          D
At least I?m not as sad as I used to be

D Em                  A D
     (Just get it out)
D Em A D
D Em A D
D Em A D
D Em A D
D	            Em       A          D
At least I?m not as sad as I used to be

         D                          Em
And they say we would?ve seen you two years ago
       A                    A  Bm  C#  D
Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
     Bm            D       Em
But youth?s taken over by rock and roll,
               A            G            F#m          E
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....


     D             Em             A               D4 D
So I left, That is it. That?s my life, Nothing is sacred.
        Bm                     Em
I don?t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
A
I?m not a prophet, But I?m here to profit.


       D   Em                   A                D4 D
That?s all, I?m gone! That?s my life, Nothing is sacred.
         Bm                  Em
I don?t fall in love, I just fake it.
         A                    A/B A/C# D
I don?t fall in love. I don?t fall in love.

At Least Im Not As Sad

INTRO: D

D                   E
Never in all of my life
             A                       D
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
      D
on a Saturday night,
        E                        A            Abm     D
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."


            D                      E
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
      D                           E
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.


    A                         D         A
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.


   D                             E
We met up once we'd settled the sun
    A        Abm 
Between the heat and the work week
    D
The fear is we could use some sleep
    D                      E
but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds
         A       Abm           D
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.


         D                       E
I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.
        D                         E
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
             D                            E
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"
         D                            E
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.


     A
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
D                               D  E  F#  E  D 
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
    A                         D
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.


D                     E
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
     A
and one of us has nothing at all.
      D
So he calls us all sheep
         E                     A
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.

(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
        D                            E
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
           A                Abm          D
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.


            D
We were the get rich quick kids,
    E
We never got it right
       D                         E
So we settled for the center in town
               D                      E
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
         D                    E
got the blond one staring me down.
       D                   E
and I really wanna take a swing
         A          Abm          D
I can't help but remember James Dean
            D                    E
See we are part of the few who agree
              D
that hey, he lived life fast
        E
but he died.

he died.

he died.


                      A
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
     A                         D       A
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)



     A
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
D                                            A
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

and for the first time,
                D
in a long time,
              A
I feel alive.

Barlights

D    A
Holy ghosts,
            D           A
When do you come out to play?
              D             A
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
                  G       A      D
He'd better start looking today.


A            D
Last week my baby hit the slopes.
                                         A
I spent the weekend setting traps in the road.

I should have been cutting out my eyelids,
                                               D     
you'll never guess what baby did when she got home.

Oh-oh Na na na na na
       A
Now at least the birds are singing to me,

but what they're trying to say,
        G
I don't know.


(you're beautiful)
                           F#m
I think they come from the cold

(for all your big mistakes)
                           G
I think they come from the cold

(you stayed the same)
                       A
to the city that don't snow.

     D
So I drove until we both broke down.

I was stranded in a border town
              A
believing the motel TV would bring me to safety,

but between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly
             D
I've come to find, that I can't be defined
               A
so I turned it off, now convinced I would cross

Took one last look at the gold
                            D    
as it shattered on a mountaintop

D      A         	
Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony.

But what it's trying to play,
        G
I don't know.


(you're beautiful)
                           F#m
I think they come from the cold

(for all your big mistakes)
                           G
I think they come from the cold

(you stayed the same)
                       A
to the city that don't snow.

       D  G  A
C'mon, Holy ghosts
            D    G       A
When do you come out to play?
              D       G     A
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
                  G       A     D
He'd better start looking today.


         G                   D
So I can rise with the river
        G               D
We all float before we sink
               G
We pray for satellites,
           D
Pray for courtesy
            A                         G
I pray that it can climb mountains to me!
          D                G
I say goodbye to the canyon.
       D                G
I will set sail to the streets
              D            G       A
where I don't care to be forgiven
A               G
I want to be forgotten.
         D            G
I don't care to be forgiven
            D                  G
When Lord I only want to be forgotten!

        D        G
Singing oh oh oh na na na
D        G
Oh oh oh
            D        G
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
A     G
Oh-oh Oh-oh

            D        G
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na na
        D        G
Singing oh oh oh
            D        G
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
A              G
Oh-oh na na na Oh-oh

         A
Now I receive a call from my family

and what they started to say
           G
brought me home.


(you're beautiful)
                     F#m
They think I'm beautiful

(for all your big mistakes)
                      G    A
They think I'm beautiful

(you're beautiful)
                         D  
for all my big mistakes. 

for all my big mistakes.

for all my big mistakes.

Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals

and I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
     A              Abm

you haven't seen my best, so...


E             Abm         C#m         Abm
Just spend an evening with me
E            Abm     C#m              Abm
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
   A                Abm               F#m    Abm
or we could stay and talk until three.
A                 Abm            F#m         Abm
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so...

If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
    Abm         F#m         Abm
a sandwich with everything on it,
   E             Abm           C#m            Abm
at least we would know that the sparks didn't glow

but we owe it to ourselves to try,

So often I call and I plead with you:

"Give me a chance!"
         F#m        Abm          E
It's not often that I understand

the ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right

So don't think of tomorrow tonight.

Walking The Dog

Aim and Ignite 

F,Dm,Bb,C
give me a second

Bb,C,Dm,F,Bb,Bb,C
so if by the time the bar closes

F,Dm,Bb,C
tonight,we are young

We Are Young

INTRO:
F  Bb (x4)

VERSE 1:
        F
Well I woke up to the sound of silence.
     Bb                                 F          Bb
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight.
        F
And I found you with the bottle of wine,
      Bb   
Your head in the curtains 
                               F      Bb
and heart like the fourth of July.


                     F                       Bb
You swore and said, "We are not, we are not shining stars"
        F             Bb
This I know. I never said we are.
            F 
Well I've never been through hell like that.
       Bb
I've closed enough windows
                            F       Bb
to know you can never look back.

CHORUS:
           F                          Bb            C
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone
      F   Bb   C
Carry on
          F                         Bb              C
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
      F   Bb   C
Carry on
  C              F
Carry on, Carry on

VERSE 2

CHORUS again

BRIDGE:
C         Bb         F
Woah, my head is on fire
        C
But my legs are fine.
       Bb            F
After all, they are mine.
C                 Bb           F
Lay your clothes down on the floor.
           Bb
Close the door, hold the phones,
         C                                    F
Show me how. No one is ever going to stop us now.

F  Bb  <-repeat (guitar solo)

        F
Because we are
         Bb
We are shining stars
          F
We are invincible
       Bb
We are who we are
        F
On our darkest day,
            Bb
When we're miles away,
          F                          Bb   C
So we'll come; We will find our way home

Carry On

# This is my favorite song. Enjoy:)

CHORUS:
C                       F            C
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck.
C                       G
Some nights, I call it a draw.
C                            F                 C
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle.
F              C                 G
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off.

       F         C           F         C
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost.
             F         C         G
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
F          C          F        C
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
F                     G     C
Most nights, I don't know anymore.

C  F  C  F  C  G (x2)

VERSE:
C
This is it, boys, this is war. 
F            C
What are we waiting for?
F             C                 G
Why don't we break the rules already?
       C
I was never one to believe the hype
F                   C
Save that for the black and white
       F                    C
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
     G
but here they come again to jack my style.
               C
And that's alright.
            F           C
I found a martyr in my bed tonight.
    F                    C
She stops my bones from wondering
     G
just who I am, who I am, who I am
C         F     C      F      G
Yeah, oh who am I?

CHORUS again

BRIDGE 1:
# play chord pattern C-F-C-F-C-F-G in background

So this...
Washed my...
I miss...mom and dad...
When I...stars...
                          G                        F
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
          C           F            G
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on.

VERSE:
That is...
Ten years...
This is...
Sorry to...
Who the...

BRIDGE 2:
             F
My heart is breaking for my sister
         C
and the con that she called "love"
            F
But when I look into my nephew's eyes,
F
Man, you wouldn't believe
C                                      G
The most amazing things that can come from
                 C    F   C   F   C   G
Some terrible nights.

Some Nights

(Verse)
F#
  I've got enough on my mind
B
  That when she pulls me by the hand
F#
  She hasn't much to hold onto
B
  She's keeping count on her hands
F#                                    
  One, two, three days that I've been 
B   D#m  G#m   F#
Sleeping on my side

F#
  I finish kissing my dad
B
  So now I head back up the steps
F#
  Thinking about where I've been
B
  I mean it's always never like this
F#
  I wanna feel with the season
B
  I guess it makes sense
B                D#m       G#m
  That my life's become as vapid as
B           D#m    G#m
A night out in Los Angeles
B          D#m   G#m  F#m  C#
And I just wanna stay in bed


(Pre-Chorus)
B                 F#
I hold you like I used to
B                  F#
You know that I am home
B                 F#
So darling if you love me
                  G#m  D#m  B  C#
Will you let me know?


(Chorus)
F#
Or go on, go on, go on
                                 G#m             C#
If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
For once, for once, for once
                           G#            C#
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?


(Verse)
F#
  She's got enough on her mind
B
  That she feels no sorrow
F#
  I let my faith fill the air
B
  Now she's rolling down the window
F#
  Never been one to hold on
B
  But I need a last breath
B           D#m   G#m
  So I ask if she remembers when
B           D#m      G#m
  She used to come and visit
             B        D#m        G#m     F#       C#
Man, we were fools to think that nothing could go wrong


(Chorus)
F#
Or go on, go on, go on
                                 G#m             C#
If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
For once, for once, for once
                           G#            C#
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
B            F#
Why am I the one
       B             C#
Always packing up my stuff?
B                 F#
I think I kind of like it
      G#m                C#
But I might have had too much


(Bridge)
F#
I'll move back down
        B
To this western town
          G#m
When they find me out
        B            C#
Make no mistake about it

(Coda)
Why am I the one
       D#m           C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
Go on, go on, go on
                                 G#m             C#
If you've been thinking that the worst is yet to come
B            F#
Why am I the one
B                    C#
Always packing up my stuff?
F#
For once, for once, for once
                           G#m           C#
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
B            F#
Why am I the one
B                    C#
Always packing up my stuff?
B                 F#
I think I kind of like it
      G#m                C#
But I might have had too much
I'll move back down

Why Am I The One

(I'm a little iffy on the bridge, so if anyone has any suggestions, thank you!)

(Verse)
C                        F
I set all my regrets on fire
          G                        Am
Cause I know I'll never take the time
   C                       F                        
To unpack my missteps and call all of our friends
     G                          Am
I figure they would take your side
                          
    
(Pre Chorus)
            F        A          G
I make the bed, just not that well 
                 F      
Your name comes up a lot when I talk to my mom
         G              F
Oh, I think she can tell


(Chorus)
        C
I was out on the town
      Am          G           F  
So I came to your window last night
          C                         
I tried not to throw stones
        Am      G      F 
But I wanted to come inside
           C                       Am                  F
Now I'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile
   Am    G           F
Oh no, what have I done?
          F        G       Am
There's no one to keep me warm


(Verse)
   C                       F
So maybe I should put up a fight
     G                               Am
I'll call them back and borrow a box knife
   C                        F
So I can learn to live with all the stupid shit 
          G             Am
I've been doing since '99

      C                    F
And I know I could be more clever
      G                    Am
And I know I could be more strong
        C                       F
But I'm waiting for the day you come back and say
      G                        Am
"Hey, maybe I should change my mind"


(Pre-chorus)
          F            A              G
I drink a lot, I'm not sure if that's new
           F  
But these days when I wake up from a night I forgot
       G                       F
I just wish that it never came true


(Chorus)
        C
I was out on the town
      Am          G           F  
So I came to your window last night
          C                         
I tried not to throw stones
        Am      G      F 
But I wanted to come inside
           C                       Am                  F
Now I'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile
   Am    G           F
Oh no, what have I done?
          F        G       Am
There's no one to keep me warm


(Bridge)
      C                    F 
And I know I could be more clever
      G                    Am
And I know I could be more strong
      C                    F
And I know I could be more clever
      G                    Am
And I know I could be more clever

(Bridge Continued)
  C                                F
I knew there would come a day when all was said and done
G                   Am
Everything I was is everything but gone
C                       F
All my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall
    G                        Am
The bottles never break, the sorrow never comes
   C                  F
So come on let me in, I will be the sun
G                   Am
I will wake you up, I am who I was
     C                   F                  G                   Am
Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
(And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more)

(Chorus)
        C
I was out on the town
      Am          G           F  
So I came to your window last night
          C                         
I tried not to throw stones
        Am      G      F 
But I wanted to come inside
           C                       Am                  F
Now I'm causing a scene, thinking you need a reason to smile
   Am    G           F
Oh no, what have I done?
          F        G       Am
There's no one to keep me warm

Why Am I The One?

Intro: C  Em/B Am G

Chorus:
C                  Em/B
 And it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                   G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.
C                   Em/B
 Yeah, it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                  G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.

Verse 1:
       C                               Em/B
And I got the call soon as the day hit night.
                   Am
As soon as the headlights lit up the Westside.
    G
I stopped the car and came outside
         C
Cause I know that tone.
                    Em/B
I remember the first time
                         Am
we wished upon parallel lines.
                         G
Waiting for a friend to call
                        F
and say they're still alive.
                       G
I've given everyone I know
          C/E    F
a good reason to go.
                            G
I was surprised you stuck around
                       C
long enough to figure out

Chorus:
(C)                 Em/B
 That it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                   G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.
C                   Em/B
 Yeah, it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                  G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.

C Em/B Am G

Verse 2:
          C                             
And now all my loves that come back to haunt me.
Em/B
My regrets and texts sent to taunt me.
Am                                 G
 I never claimed to be more than a one-night stand
F                       G
 I've given everyone I know
          C/E    F
a good reason to go.
                            G
But I came back with the belief
                               C
that everyone I love is gonna leave me.

Chorus:
(C)                Em/B
 And it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                   G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.
C                   Em/B
 Yeah, it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                  G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.

Bridge:
     Fmaj7
And I know, ohh nooo,
       Em
You've fallen from the sun.
Dm                    C/E
Crashing through the clouds.
   F               G
I see you burning out.
       Am
And I know, ohh nooo,
     Em
that I put up a front
Dm                   C/E
But maybe, just this once,
F                 G
let me keep this one.

Chorus:
C                  Em/B
 And it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                   G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.
C                   Em/B
 Yeah, it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                  G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.

Chorus:
C                  Em/B
 And it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                   G
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.
C                   Em/B
 Yeah, it's all alright I guess it's all alright.
Am                  G                                       C
 I got nothing left inside of my chest, but it's all alright.

 This is really happening
F                    C
 You never looked so bored

 Can you feel my fingernails?

 They've never been so short


     F       C     Am     G        F    C    G

     F       C      Am      G         F          C       G
It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out

     C         Dm                   Am          F        G
Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers

 Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better

I can taste your summer sweat
F                   C
 It's never been so warm
   C               Am
So can we kick the covers off?
Am              F
They're always on
F                   C
 It's never been so warm


     F       C      Am       G         F      C       G
It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile
   F         C       Am          G       C   G
If you could see the look that's in your eyes

It Gets Better

Capo 2

Am        G              C                F
I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir
Am                    G                  C                  F
I bought it downtown as I was on my way to meet you
Am                         G                       C                      F
She sounds like the songs you used to sing to put me to sleep but
      Am                                 F                         G
But now that you're gone, she's all that I've left to hold


        C        F     G
And I feel so all alone
C           F      Am                   G
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
C                             F
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
         Am                                  G
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
         C        F    G
And I feel so all alone


Am                G
I gave her to you
                    C              F
I thought you might appreciate
Am                        G
The way that she dances
                 C                 F
The painted look upon her face
Am                                      G
She must have come from the sun
              C                          F
I want to take her through the park
                 Am                 F
Where she'd tell me I'm all, all that she wants
    G
If she could even talk


        C        F     G
And I feel so all alone
C           F      Am                   G
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
C                             F
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
         Am                                  G
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
         C        F    G
And I feel so all alone
   C        F    G
I feel so all alone


                 F         G
And she sits on my shelf
    C                      Am
It makes me think of you
                   F             G
The way she carries the things 
           C            Am
that remind me of who
                 F       G
We used to be before 
            C G Am
we became antiques
           F         G
She's a lot like you
                C         Am
But when I hold her too 
F
tight, I know she'll break
             G
She just takes some glue to stay



        C        F     G
And I feel so all alone
C           F      Am                   G
No one's gonna fix me when I'm broke
C                             F
How do you cry with inanimate eyes?
         Am                                  G
You're never gonna smile with the way that you are
         C        F    G
And I feel so all alone
   C        F    G
I feel so all alone
   C        F    G
I feel so all alone

All Alone

E
This growing old is getting old
         F#m
I often find myself here thinking
           A
About the birds, the boats, and past loves
           E
That flew away or started sinking

            E
And it's crazy here without you
            F#m
I used to think this all was ours
            A
We stay up late debate
On how we find our way 
               E
You say, "It's all up in the stars"

[A - A   E - E]
                       [A - A   E - E]
Well, Some nights I rule the world 
                       [A - A   E - E]
With bar lights and pretty girls 
                         A
But most nights I stay straight
                    B
And think about my mom, Oh God
             E
I miss her so much

                E
And there are people on the street
           F#m
They're coming up to me
             A
And they're telling me
                     E
That they like what I do now
           E
And so I tried my best when I took the fall
               F#m
And get back right up and get in your arms
           A                      E
If you're out here why do I miss you so much?

[A - A   E - E]
                 [A - A   E - E]
I feel like I had it all
                 [A - A   E - E]
Back before I lost it all
    A
Now I just wait for you to talk to me
          B
But you won't even look at me, baby

                           E
And I've been saying that you
                       F#m
You're always holding onto stars
                          A
I think they're better from afar
         B                      E
Cause no one is going to save us

         E
Oh, and me
                  F#m
Well I am fading in the dark
                   A
So don't you ever kiss me

Don't you wish on me
    B
Why can't you see
                        E
That no one's going to save us?
Come on, girl

E   F#m   A   B   E   
E   F#m   A   E

                        E
I just need a helping hand
                                  F#m
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
               A
It never came true
          B
It came true
               E
It never came true

     E                           F#m
And you, you're always holding onto stars
                       A
You're always holding onto stars
          B               E
Cause no one is going to save us

        E                          F#m
Oh and you, you're always holding onto stars
                         A
I think they're better from afar
           B               E
Because no one is going to save us

        E                   F#m
Oh and me, Well I am fading in the dark
                   A
So don't you ever kiss me
Don't you wish on me
               B
Why can't you see that
                    E
No one is going to save us.
No one is going to save me.

Now: [E   F#m   A   B   E]

No, no, no.
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars
You're always holding onto stars

Stars

Some Nights 

E        Ebm          C#m                  B
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve
E              Ebm         C#m            B
Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
   E           Ebm         C#m         B
I used to run at first sight of the sun
          E                B          C#m          B
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up


E       Ebm          C#m                B
The city outside still sounds like it's on fire
E              Ebm    
You put on new sheets
    C#m             B
The white flag of a Saturday night
E       Ebm        C#m      B
I know we stayed up talking in circles
E                Ebm  
But I like to think the symmetry
    C#m             B
Will keep me close to you

E          Ebm              C#m             B
For everyone, I'm out to prove wrong, you keep the light on

The only one, you now me better than the truth
E                    Ebm         C#m            B
So despite what I've done I pray to God that we can move on
E             Ebm                         C#m              B
Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose


E        Ebm          C#m          B
And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve
E         Ebm        C#m           B
Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me
E        Ebm         C#m       B
I used to run at first sight of the sun
           E           B               C#m      B
Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

I lay here waiting for you to wake up


    E           Ebm   C#m          B
So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go
    E           Ebm    C#m              B
I can't bare to sleep without you in my arms
E              Ebm                         C#m                  B
I know we got caught up sifting through a crowd of pebbles and lures
         E               Ebm         
But you must not let them take you
             C#m           B
They don't know you like I do


E   Ebm            C#m       B
For once, there is nothing up my sleeve
E         Ebm          C#m           B
Just some scars from a life that used trouble me
   E     Ebm         C#m         B
I used to run at first sight of the sun

Do you remember when we stayed up till the sun stretched through the room
            E              Ebm             C#m  B
I used to blame it on the queens walking down 7th Avenue
            E                Ebm 
It's been years now since we moved
             C#m            B
I've gotten through with an excuse
            E                 Ebm         
You know I try not to speak superlatives
           C#m        B
But it's impossible to you

The city outside is nothing but a flicker now
E            Ebm              C#m         B
You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights
E          Ebm                C#m       B
I start to think you'll make a beautiful mother, and
E         Ebm                   C#m              B
I like to think I have everything I want from this life.

Sight Of The Sun

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

(Verse 1)

              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.
