Thank You!!!

Am                      
He wants to die in a lake in Geneva
Em                            
The mountains can cover the shape of his nose
Am
He wants to die where nobody can see him
Em                                 
But the beauty of his death will carry on so
Am                 Em
I don't believe him


    Am
He greets me with kisses when good days deceive him
    Em                                    
And sometimes we're scorned and sometimes I believe him
    Am  
And sometimes I'm convinced that my friends think I'm crazy
     Em                              
Get scared and call him, but he's usually hazy
   Am
At 1 in the morning, the day is not ended
  Em
By 2 he is scared that sleep is no friend
   Am
By 4 he will drink but he cannot feel it
   Em
Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it
    Am                Em
And I don't believe him
            Am          Em
Morning is mocking me

  Am
I wander the streets, avoiding them eats
                        Em
Till ring on my finger slips to the ground
A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city
The veins of which have broken me down
And I don't believe him
Morning is mocking me



    Am       G      Am        G
The gods that he believes
      Am       G    Am     G
never fail to amaze me
He believes in the love in his god of all things
But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins
The drugs that deceive him and the girls that believe him
Am                     G
I can't control you, I don't know you well
F                       Em
These are the reasons I think that you're ill
Am                     G
I can't control you, I don't know you well
F                      G
These are the reasons I think that you're ill



          Am                   Em
And since last that we parted last that i saw him 
down by a river, silent and hardened
Morning was mocking us, blood hit the sky
I was just happy, my manic and I
He couldn't see me; the sun was in his eyes

Am            Em     F       G
And birds were singing to calm us down
Am            Em     F       G
And birds were singing to calm us down



Am                           G
And I'm sorry young man, I cannot be your friend.
I don't believe in a fairytale end
I don't keep my head up all of the time
I find it dull when my heart meets my mind
Am                         G
And I hardly know you, I think I can tell
F                        Em
These are the reasons I think that we're ill
Am                    G
I hardly know you, I think I can tell
F                        Em
These are the reasons I think that I'm ill

        Am        G     Am     G        Am        G       Am      G
And the gods that he believes    never fail to disappoint me
And the gods that he believes    never fail to disappoint me

   Am           Em         Am        Em  
My nihilist, my happy man, my manic and I
     Am       Em    F      G
Have no    plans to  move on

        Am         G        F       Em
And the birds are singing to calm us down
        Am         G        F        G
And the birds are singing to calm us down

         Em                            D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

     Em
The captains got his boots on and he's heading out the door,
 D                               Em
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don't love me no more."
      Em           
He's done with all this bullshit, 

He's going back to war,
    G            D
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
      C                Em
then this is Hell for sure...


           Em                                 D
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
         Em                             D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
       Em                                 D
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
         Em                            D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.

             G                               Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
         G                    Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
          D           Em
If I feel God judging me,
                     D              Em
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free.

The Captain And The Hourglass

Alas I Cannot Swim

Intro: D,F#m,G,B

         D
You were so smart then
        F#m  
In your jacket and coat
         G               D
My softest red scarf was warming your throat
         D
Winter was on us
        F#m
On the end of my nose
         G                               D
And I never love England more that when covered in snow
         D                                        F#m
But a friend of mine said it's good to hear that you believe in love
         F#m                         D
Even if it's set in fear, well I'll hold you there  brother and
         F#m          G                       D
Set you straight I only believe true love is frail and willing to break

# chords for verse two same as verse one

I will come back here
Bring me back when I'm old
I want to lay hear, forever in the cold

I might be cold but
I'm just skin and bone
And I'll never love England more than when covered in snow

         D                        F#m
I wrote my name in your book, only god knows why
         F#m
And I bet you that he cracked a smile
         D
And I'm clearing all the crap out of my room
          F#m
Trying desperately to figure out what it is that makes me blue
         D                               G                       D
And I wrote an epic letter to you, it's 22 pages long but it's too good to be used
        F#m
I try to be a girl who likes to be used
         D
Well I'm too good for that
        F#m                               D
There's a mind under this hat, so I called them all and told 'em I got to move
         D           F#m
I'm out of love, it's too hard
        Bm            A
I'm on my own, it's too hard
  D  F#m  Bm   A    D   F#m   Bm  A       D
Fell like running, feel like running, running off

# chord pattern repeats through next verse

We will keep you, we will keep you, little one
Safe from harm, like an extra arm you are one of us

# verse one repats, but the lyrics of last line change:

Winter was on us, at the end of my nose
So goodbye old England 'till next year's snow

Goodbye England (covered In Snow)

D
my husband left me last night
D
left me a poor and lonely wife
D
and I cooked the meals, and he lived the life
D
and now I'm just down for the rest of my time
D
Oh he, Oh me, Oh My

   A
I speak because I can
   G                        D
To anyone I trust enough to listen
    A
You speak because you can
   G                           D
To anyone Who'll hear what you say


    F#
hmmm-mm
               G              D
I swear it was not my choice
    F#
hmmm-mm
          G          D
I Used to be so kind


Never rode my bike down to the sea
never finished that letter I was writing
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my

G
Graceful sleeper
D
Midnight dreamer
    G                D
I'm Floored by your sound
    G                D
I'm Floored by your sound

    F#
hmmm-m
               G             D
I swear it was not my choice
F#              G            D
to reach out to someone wise
F#        G         D
I used to be so kind
F#        G         D
I used to be so kind


       A                                 G                  D
At the breaking of the morning you'll be dancing on my soft lawn
             A                          G                        D
when you're shaking out the anger that stops you from taking my calls
             A                             G                           
   D
when you're running up the highway singing I'm the king, the king of you all
        A                                G                       D
and you look back to where you started, I'll be there waving you on


never rode my bike down to the sea
never quite figured out what I believe
never got up and said anything
worthy, for he, oh my.

I Speak Because I Can

Am(G) C
forgive me Hera,
Dm  C
I cannot stay
    Dm        C
he cut out my tongue
         G/B        Am
there is nothing to save

(repeat)
love me, oh lord
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins
in his arms I must stay

   Am     G
he wrote
     F
I'm broke
Am      G       Am
please send for me

(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me

Am      (G)  C
her skin is white
         Dm          C
and I'm light as the sun
    Dm         C            G/B             Am
so holy light shines on the things you have done

F   G           E/G#       Am
so I asked him how he became this man
F          G             E/G#         Am
how did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?
     C                      Dm
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
C                         G/B           Am
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay

(repeat)
left me alone when I needed the light
fell to my knees, and I wept for my life
if he had stayed of stayed, you might understand
if he had of stayed, you never would have taken my hand

Am  G
he wrote
F
I'm low
Am     G        Am
please send for me

(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me

     C                      Dm
and where is the lamb that gave your name?
C                         G/B           Am
he had to leave, though I begged him to stay

F       G          E/G#        Am
begged him to stay in my cold wooden grip
F       G           E/G#         Am
begged him to stay by the light of this ship
C   Dm   
me fighting him, fighting light, fighting dawn
         C                           G/B         Am
and the waves came and stole him and took him to war

Am  G
he wrote
F
I'm low
Am     G        Am
please send for me

(repeat)
but I'm broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me

Am(G) C
forgive me Hera,
Dm  C
I cannot stay
    Dm        C
he cut out my tongue
         G/B        Am
there is nothing to save

(repeat)
love me, oh lord
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins
in his arms I must stay

Am       G
we write
F
that's all right
Am  G      Am    
I miss his smell

(repeat)
we speak
when spoken to
and that suits us well

Am    G       Am
that suits us well
Am    G       Am
that suits me well

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am

Am

but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

(But we don't even know why)
G                D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)

G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm

As She's Walking Away

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
