A song for your heart

  C                    G                           Bm
And summers little girl has been taken from the world tonight

So while I'm turning in my sheets 
                        Em
And once again I cannot sleep 
                             
Walk out the door and up the street 
                             C
Look at the stars beneath my feet 

Remember rights that I did wrong 
          G
So here I go 

Hello, hello 
                           Em
There is no place I cannot go 

My mind is muddy but 
                          C
My heart is heavy does it show 

I lose the track that loses me 
          G
So here I go 
       Em     C
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu 
G
And so I sent some men to fight 
                             Em
And one came back at dead of night 

Said he'd seen my enemy 
                         C
Said he looked just like me 

So I set out to cut myself 
           G
And here I go 
       Em     C      G  D
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu 
C                     G
I'm not calling for a second chance 
    D                          Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice 
C                   G
Give me reason, but don't give me choice 
           Am            C            G
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again 

uhuuuu

And maybe someday we will meet 
                            Em
And maybe talk and not just speak 

Dont buy the promises cause 
                        C
There are no promises I keep 

And my reflection troubles me 
          G
So here I go 
       Em     C      G  D
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu 
C                     G
I'm not calling for a second chance 
    D                          Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice 
C                   G
Give me reason, but don't give me choice 
           Am            C            
Cause I'll just make the same mistake 
                     G
I'm not calling for a second chance 
    D                          Em
I'm screaming at the top of my voice 
C                   G
Give me reason, but don't give me choice 
           Am            C            G
Cause I'll just make the same mistake again 
       Em     C
uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu 
G                                 Em
uhuuuu So while I'm turning in my sheets 
                               C
uhuuuu And once again I cannot sleep 
                                    G
uhuuuu Walk out the door and up the street 

uhuuuu Look at the stars 
Em                               C
uhuuuu Look at the stars falling down 

uhuuuu And I wonder where

uhuuuu Did I go wrong

Take this bloody war of mine away

I'm lost for words to say
          C            Em 
Will they greet me at dawn
Am               C
Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls

    We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
    And i love you, i swear thats true,
    I cannot live, without you.

Goodbye My Lover

Verse:
G             Em
Beautiful dawn - lights up the shore for me.
          G                         Em
There is nothing else in the world,
Em
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
G             Em                              Am
Beautiful dawn - I'm just chasing time again.
Am                                           Am   
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.


Chorus:
           Cadd9 D        Em                  Cadd9
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.

Cadd9 D        Em                    Cadd9     G 
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.


Verse:
Beautiful dawn - melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn - You're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.

Chorus:
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.  (Don't play last G)


Bridge:

G                    G/Eb                      G/D
Will you be my shoulder when I'm grey and older?
                     G/Db
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,


Chorus

          Cm
She could see from my face that I was
G#
 Flying high

And I don't think that I'll see her again

With a smile on her face
         G#                        A#       D#   A#   Cm
When she thought up that I should be with you

Tears And Rain

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.

No Bravery

With your benictor little bastards and your fancy dress,

Who just judge each other and try to impress,
But they,

Theres nowhere else to go, I hope that youll stay the night.

Stay The Night

# Capo en 1

Am    
When you wake up
               C
Turn the radio on
                            F
And you'll hear this simple song
              Dm
That I made up
                     Dm  Asus2
That I made up for you

Am            
When you're driving
               C
Turn the radio up
                          Fmaj7
Cause I can't sing loud enough
               Dm
Hard these days
                  Esus4   E
To get my message through


Chorus:
   C       C7  C9 F
If time is all I  have
     G               C
I'll waste it all on you
     C7       C9      F           
Each day I'll turn it back
     G                       Am
It's what the broken-hearted do
                           C        
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
F                   Dm
Of silences keeping me awake

--
Am
When you marry
                C
And you look around
                            F
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
                      Dm
Torn up, that it isn't me

--
Am
When you're older
              C
The memories fade
                                F
But I know I'll still feel the same
                  Fmaj7
For as long as I live

--
Chorus

--
          C      F
Won't you say my name, one time
            C      F
Please just say my name


--
Chorus 2x

          C      F
Won't you say my name
                 G            Am  
When the song is  o-o-o-o ... o-o-o-o  ver.

C                                                 Em
   Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky.
C                                              Em
   Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die.
F                                                      Am
   And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time.
                                      C
   I've been putting out fires all my life.
                                                       G
   Everybody wants a flame, but they don't want to get burnt.

   And today is our turn.


   ---Chorus---

   You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
C                          Am 
   People like us, we don't need that much.
            F                           Am                   G

C                                                        Em
   No one offers you a shoulder. No one looks you in the eye.
F                                                Am
   But I've been looking at you for a long, long time.
                                                    C
   Just trying to break through, trying to make you mine.
                                                   G
   Everybody wants a flame, they don't want to get burnt

   Well today is our turn.

Bonfire Heart

C                      
Sundays sitting on your back porch
       G
And I came up with a couple of cords
          D
And I played for you

       C
You let me keep you entertained
        G
With stories I exaggerate
          D
That you know aren't true

               Am
And as you sit there making daisy chains
       C
And I throw in a hand granate
        G                                   D
And tell you how it is I really feel for you

                    C            
I'm sending postcards from my heart
        G                              D
With love for a postmark and then... 
                  Am          C
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
       G                             D
Like kids in the school yard again
             Am                     C
And I can't keep it to myself
         G
Can't spell it any better
 D
L.O.V.E forever
     Am                C
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
   G                                        D
I don't care who sees what I sent
         Am
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

Interlude (C, G, D, Am) 


We chased the sun til it got away
On a bicycle that your daddy made
But not made for two

Then we sat out on your rocking chair
You with a flower in your hair
That I found for you

But then monday always comes around
And it's sad 'cause I can't see you now
Wan't you to know you're always in my head

I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then... 
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

Interlude (C, G, D, Am) x2

            Am
You know sometimes it's hard to see
        C
You say the world that torture me
       Em                                 D
But inside I know exactly how I feel
        Am
The things that I can't say out loud
     C
I'll find a place to write it down
   Em                             D
I hope that they will find you in the end

I'm sending postcards from my heart
With love for a postmark and then... 
You know that you make me feel like we've been caught
Like kids in the school yard again
And I can't keep it to myself
Can't spell it any better
L.O.V.E forever
I hope you know that I'm sending a postcard
I don't care who sees what I sent
Or if the whole world knows what's in my head

G, D, A, Em

Know, know, know
All the things I want you to
Know, know, know

        F#m           A               E                Bm
Did the make up never make up for the pain behind your eyes?
      F#m          A                E            Bm
Cos I feel as if I know when you're on my silver screen

But I don't know the dark places that you've been.

 Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight,
F#m                            E
    To fill the silence left behind?
D                            A
  And I don't know what goes on in your mind
F#m                                 E
    I'm sure it's enough to make me cry.

Someday we'll find you lived fore - ver.

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

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.

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up

             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

It ain’t me, no-o, no-o

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat

It Ain't Me

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
